Clean sheets..?

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

So that's 2 clean sheets. Not often we hear that. But does anyone know how many consecutive clean sheets we've ever had?

[howardm1978]

I don't know but long may it continue, defensively we seem very strong. Really pleasing

Yeah, so a chance of 3 clean sheets. Watch them go and a drop goal ?.

By the shear nature of the game the number of clean sheets in a row can't be that many can it?

So we could be on for a record!?

OK I'm getting the books out again....

[Dave Naylor]

From a search through the books, and I'll check again to verify, but the current club has never nilled the opposition two games in a row before now.  The last time the old club achieved the feat was in 1956.

August 25,  1956 - Rochdale Hornets away won 43 - 0

August 28, 1956 - Leigh home won 20 - 0

Hold the front page.  There's a later occasion in 1963.

November 9 1963 - York at home - 17 - 0

November 16 1963 - Whitehaven away 19 - 0

No other club ever refers to OLD club and NEW club.

Rochdale, Bradford,York,Swinton etc never do.

I wish we didnt

[The Art of Hand and Foot]

There are a number of reasons why we would refer to old and new with regard to stats. I, for example, only have rl the stats to the 'old' club via Turner. I guess dave has stats for the 'new' club as well. We could also refer to 'the bears' or pre and post superleague,  the frank Myler era, the fifties, pre war, post war, post 13 a side ie  1908,   post 1895 etc etc. Referring the club as the new club just gives us a timeline. 

[herbie]

No it doesnt it just feeds one mans ego.

Your otger examples are fine for timeline purposes.

The postponement of the hemel games reduces our chance of getting 3 consecutive clean sheets. Oh well. ?
