A Chance To Equal Our Highest Number Of Away Wins In The Second Tier

[Curr Avon]

With 3 away games left to play, City still have a chance to achieve their record mumber of 13 victories on the road, at this level, since season .......? 

Go on have a guess.

No. Only 8 that season. Keep guessing.

You'll just have to wait...Come on, more guesses.

[bcfc01]

1905/06 ?

 

[Offside]

Was it as long ago as the 1905-1906 season when we finished top of the 2nd tier?

[FForbes]

I agree with bcfc01, it's 13 in 1905/06

[wayne allisons tongues]

2014-15 promotion season

[Curr Avon]

A very well done to @bcfc01 , @Offsideand @FForbes. The answer is 1905/06.

And we played four less away games (19) that season so a pretty impressive record.

In fact, we only lost twice all season, once at home to Leicester and once away to Man Utd.

Well done, Sir. That was also the season of our still League record (sorry Pep, the Premier League doesn't count) 14 consecutive wins during a season.

No worries. In my opinion this season has proven that it might be better to change our home colours to purple and lime. Starting on Saturday. As Prince once said, "Purple reign, purple reign....."

We were runners up in the second tier in 1905/06 ....

We were champions in 1905/06, you're probably getting mixed up with the 1906/07 season when we were runners up in the first division!

You're right of course. And in 1905/06 we finished 4 points clear of Manchester United. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1905–06_in_English_football

Whatever happened to them?

Supposedly a huge chunk of the money to build Old Trafford came from their prize money winning the FA Cup against us.

 

How different things could have been!

11 after tonight, I would settle with us falling one short if the other results go our way.
