SA Footy

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.

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

Alberton: 4 wins by Torrens (Rd 2 1922 - Rd 9 1925); South (Rd 12 1936 - Rd 13 1939) and North from Rd 19 2004.
Elizabeth: 8 wins by Port (Rd 15 1964 - Rd 17 1971)
Glenelg: 13 wins by Norwood (Rd 14 1937 - Rd 6 1951)
Noarlunga: 8 wins by Eagles (Rd 8 1998 - Rd 23 2005) (This was the outright record for wins by any club at Noarlunga in a row until South equalled it against Glenelg in Round 7 of this year)
Norwood: 9 wins by Sturt (Rd 4 1909 - Rd 3 1920)
Prospect: 13 wins by Port (Rd 1 1953 - Rd 6 1965) - a record by any club. (Norths best winning streak at Prospect is 9 on 2 occasions 1927-28; 1951-53)
Richmond: 10 wins by Sturt (Rd 5 1965 - Rd 7 1974)
Thebarton: 13 wins by Sturt (Rd 13 1970 - Rd 9 1985) - equal record by any club with Torrens, (Rd 4 1933 - Rd 11 1934)
Unley: 9 wins by Norwood (Rd 16 1948 - Rd 11 1956)
Woodville: (against Eagles) 4 wins by Central (Rd 2 1995 - Rd 16 1998 and Rd 6 2000 - Rd 22 2003) and Port (Rd 25 1995 - Rd 10 1998)
(against Woodville) 10 wins by Port (Rd 17 1964 - Rd 15 1973) (Woodvilles' record was 5 wins Rd 12 1986 - Rd 1 1987)

Yes.

the Dogs @ Prospect would be double that of North @ Alberton

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?

7 - 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006.

Sturt won the last match before moving to Adelaide:

Round 17 1985
Sturt 9.1 13.4 15.6 21.8 (134)
Central 3.1 5.4 12.7 18.9 (117)
Unley, 6783

and there was no match there between the two clubs in 2003.

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!

Great stats again Spelly, you just keep ripping them out. Superb!

You should start to put Thebby in there as well.

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

Ports longest winning streak at Prospect is more than North's? WTF?

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?

Yeah, my mistake, apologies for that. Four wins from Rd 3 2004.
