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.
