All-Time Club Record for Most Consecutive Games Without Defeat?

[Profondo Rosso]

Anyone know what it is? We're currently on a 10 game unbeaten run in all compititions and a run of 9 league games without defeat

Wandered if we were anywhere near approaching the club record, but i've not been able to find out what the current record stands at.

 

[city-faithful]

dunno, but rumour has it nigel pearson is currently setting a staff record for sixteen hundred and eight games of tiddlewinks unbeaten, dead good at flicking, he is.

I think we will be some way off yet, but at the moment can't access my Of Fossils and Foxes.

Boc will be here any minute though....

oF&F - these are the things that everybody should already know!!

7 and 19

7 consecutive wins - we're done that four times

19 games without a defeat - 17 of which came at the end of the 70/71 promotion season + the first 2 back in the first division in the next season.

Note though that this applies to league games only. Charlie George knocked us out of the Cup in the middle of the above unbeaten sequence.

So what's the total league + cup record then....?

Consecutive wins is 10. That's the 1962/63 set of 7 league wins + 3 FA Cup ties.

Oddly, I don't think that oF&F lists the longest overall sequence of unbeaten game but I seem to remember working it out once as 17 games in the 1924/25 season. (I may be wrong)

The promotion season in 82/83 when we pipped Fulham must have come close.

15 game unbeaten run - followed by a 10 game (11, if you include the League Cup) run without a win at the start of the following season.

When Wallington was in dispute and Mark Grew played for us ?

I think Wallington only missed 5 of the games.

The standard of the opposition is a relative thing. A good run now with the present group of players is no less of an achievement.

 

[Brauny Blue]

I remember the goals flying past us.

Was the first game 4-0 to Notts County at Filbo?

They did well to stop up that season with the start they had.

Martin O'Neill hat trick?

I remember we drew twice with Stoke who had one of the worst top flight seasons of all time.

Sorry just looked it up and it was a Trevor Christie hat-trick, with O'Neill just getting the one.

We didn't draw with Stoke twice either - the home tie was indeed a draw, but we won 1-0 (Smith A) at the Victoria Ground. (I looked it up)

Funny, thought it was 0-0 and 2-2.

Thanks I knew the consecutive wins was 7, which we couldve equaled yesterday, shame we couldnt. We need 9 more games unbeaten then :icon_wink

Yes - I remember it well, I think it ended in an away draw to Sheffield United. The run was all the more telling because many other clubs were having to postpone games due to the very harsh winter. The Filbert Street pitch was made playable through very heavy sanding and a crude balloon type cover which allowed heat to be applied to the surface.

Ultimately it all more or less wrecked the pitch.
