I can get to 18, but only because I still vividly remember two Ron Davies goals (a header and a run and shot) from the last of the three games, in 1965/66:City 3 Cardiff 2City 3 Soton 4City 3 Man City 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Grando 256 Posted August 25, 2009 I can confirm it''s not a record. Try the following run of 3 consecutive home games from the 1929/30 season! (Don''t know if this 24 is the record, but must be close, as it includes our record victory...)15/3/30 Div 3 SouthCity 10 Coventry 229/3/30 Div 3 SouthCity 4 Newport 112/4/30 Div 3 SouthCity 5 Mertyr Town 1Sorry, I couldn''t resist the challenge, but clearly have too much time on my hands!

blahblahblah 2 Posted August 25, 2009 Got one. Thanks to a combination of Canary Companion by Roger Smith, and the Norwich Mad site.Leslie Ayre scored 5 goals in a match against Brighton and Hove Albion on 30th November 1946. The match score was 7-2.The next two home games were against QPR (4-4) and Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic (1-6). That''s 24 goals. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blahblahblah 2 Posted August 25, 2009 Oh, and we also beat Brighton and Hove Albion in 1940 by 18 goals to nil, but it was during war-time so it didn''t count. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Camuldonum 0 Posted August 27, 2009 [:|]And the worst ever away defeat for Norwich was in 1908 when you were beaten 10-2 by Swindon Town, both then members of the Southern League of blessed memory. God knows who got the blame for that one. [:P]Colchester''s worst ever defeat was almost as crazy a game as our 7-1 victory. Not that many years ago: away to Orient we hit the post or bar six times in the first 20 minutes - they got three breakaways before half time. We hit the post twice more at the start of the second half and then conceded three goals in eight minutes, eventually losing 8-0. [+o(] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
