I'm sure I heard the match reporter on the FLS say that the 11 game unbeaten away run matches a City club record, going back to 1949?
If he did, I think he could be wrong...
Its been mentioned that City's unbeaten away run of 11 games matched a record for the club going back to the 1948-49 season, when City ran away with the 3rd Division North title to gain promotion. However, according to the stats, the BBC have it wrong. City's best unbeaten spell at home did indeed come in that season, 13 league games unbeaten (7 wins and 6 draws) and if you throw in FA Cup games, make it 17 games (11 wins and 6 draws)
It was a vintage City season, in which they only lost once on the road, in a 4-2 reverse at Valley Parade against Bradford City, being unbeaten in.
