Visitors Longest Winning Streaks

Postby therisingblues » Sat Jun 02, 2007 10:28 pm

I was wondering which clubs hold the longest winning streaks at the suburban home grounds as the visiting team. What made me think of this is that North have now won 4 on the trot at Alberton. I know the 'Pies are very proud of their home record so perhaps this is the longest winning streak at Alberton by a visiting club?
At Unley I think Centrals probably hold the visitors' longest winning streak, having won every game they played there since the Blues returned to their home, plus the last time they played there before we left.
For the other sides I wouldn't have a clue.
Spelly, please, if you aren't too busy..mate. :D

I think Sturt has the longest current winning streak at the Bay. Oh, the humility...

Centrals must have racked up a few of those winning streaks since 2000

I'm rather suprised by that.

Growing up and going to the footy with my uncle he was always cursing Richmond Oval saying we could never win there in the 60's either.

Interesting that Sturt holds the record at the Parade, and Norwood has returned the favour by the same amount of games.
What's Central up to now at Unley?

Could we have the current away teams winning streaks at ovals?

Interesting, like theri I thought the dogs won the last game prior to Sturt moving to Adelaide.

What are the dogs up to at Prospect?

Yeh, I thought it because I had heard it so often. I guess the myth began because the Dogs have won every encounter since we returned to Unley, so Dogs fans included the years no games were played at Unley as part of their unbeaten record. I suppose it is a hollow boast if they didn't win the last game preceding that period when Unley was unused, so people probably assumed it.
Thanks a lot for those stats Spelly. Absolutely fantastic!

So now South are equal with the Eagles for the longest winning streak at Noarlunga.
Great stats again Spelly, you just keep ripping them out. Superb!

Each club who has played there apart from Eagles has only played there once from 2005, so there is not really a 'real' streak.

What's North's current winning streak at Norwood - my calculations make it 4 from 2004-2007 inclusive but it is not on the list?
