SwindonCanary 455 Posted March 9, 2018 You''ve only gotta google it The records show that the most consecutive drawn games played by a team in the Football League was eight by Torquay United in the Third Division from October to December 1969 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill 1,788 Posted March 9, 2018 It looks like the pinkun has followed my post about consecutive drawshttp://www.pinkun.com/norwich-city/city-closing-on-unwanted-club-record-1-5426853''The club record stands at seven draws on the spin, managed during top flight seasons in both 1978-79 and 1993-94.''Nope, not correct as the link below will showhttp://www.soccerbase.com/teams/team.sd?team_id=1855&teamTabs=results78/79 is incorrect and 93/94 had 7 consecutive league games but that was broken up by an FA Cup defeatnb you will need to check for yourself as it won''t link direct to each season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted March 9, 2018 Swindonwhy not actually look up that season and see if your claims are correct rather than just keep posting them up ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted March 9, 2018 OK. First you asked for consecutive draws, I answered with the most draws, then I corrected myself and said Torquay, You then changed it to consecutive draws by Norwich I gave an answer of 7. now you are saying it''s wrong because we lost a match in the FA Cup. So maybe you shoud have asked ''How many consecutive draws have Norwich had in the league that wasn''t broken by other competitions ?''I hard to help, but you do keep moving the goal posts.

SwindonCanary 455 Posted March 9, 2018 Sorry, last line should read "I tried hard to help, but you do keep moving the goal posts."http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city/city-closing-on-unwanted-club-record-1-5426853 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bill 1,788 Posted March 9, 2018 err, noI had checked that site and the checked against the actual league table (something I have suggested you do).i did not change it to Norwich either, as our total of five draws pointed toward what was being asked. You just misunderstood that''s allI have not changed anything or moved goalposts either.I merely was asking how our current figure of 5 consecutive games measured up against any other run and was there a longer run.And my advice still holds good. The internet is a wonderful resource, but is best to check a claim where there is another source.If not, simply post up that ''such and such'', is stating this and then give the link Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwindonCanary 455 Posted March 9, 2018 OK I''m always wrong and you are always right, in your eyes.Try seeing it from my point of view, I was only trying to help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gingerpele 0 Posted March 9, 2018 Nice to see this sort of stuff still goes on! Been years since I was involved, feel left out now.I don’t see any problem with the answers Swindon has provided? You never clarified you meant draws in all comps... Because most of the time you don’t include other comps, like Arsenal’s ‘invincibiles’ season, they lost games in cups. Man City this season were being called unbeaten till they lost to Liverpool, even though they’d lost a CL game. So I feel like looking for a record of consecutive draws automatically calls for you to look at league records unless you clarify you mean in all comps...
