Great question. I haven't a breeze. Bohs under Mahon won the first 4 games iirc...
Sligo beat Shels 2-0 tonight, that makes it 7 wins from 7.
What's the longest successive run of wins from the start of an LOI season?![]()

Yeah, great question. This link does not have any answer either but was an interesting-ish read.

The only time Rovers have begun a league season with more than three wins was when starting the league-winning 1936/37 season with 11 wins. That is also the clubs longest ever winning streak for any stage of a season.

A Championship: 4 years - 8 first teams - 0 financially ruined. First Division '14: 7 first teams.
Opportunity lost for new clubs/regions to join the LoI family.
Cork won 8/8 in 1998/99 before losing to Pat's, who drew level with them on top as a result.
Just having a quick look at my records, I have Bohemians at 15 in a row from the start of the season in 1923. Shels fans can gloat as they ended the run![]()
Yeah we seem to do very well during civil wars.
So funnily enough if Sligo were to beat us next Saturday they will equal that 8 run win we achieved in 1998.

Baraclough out - how could he have made such a mistake?
Respect to Sligo Rovers but would ye not take a bit of a hammering soon, just to make it more interesting, give false hope, take one for the sake of the LOI![]()

Respect to Derry too - they're only a few points behind, have better goal difference and are under very little pressure. Everyone seems to be assuming it's between us and Shams and because Croly can't buy a win it's all over.
