I have a funny feeling we were top of league 1 at half time in one of the early games this season.

I could easily have dreamt that though.
We were playing Cambridge United. Halcyon days :)

If Carlsberg did football clubs...
1924/25 Division three South. City opened the season - 1-0, 1-0, 1-0 and were top of the table after games 2 and 3 dropping to second after drawing game 4.
Bleddy rubbish!!

Here and there
We finished the 2010/2011 Season in EFL League One in 8th place. Two more points and we would have been in the playoffs.

1939. After two wins and one draw City were heading for promotion to Div 2. Adolf "Argyle" Hitler decided to start WW2 to make sure that didn't happen. The season was abandoned after only 3 games.

I misread one of Plymouth’s results. City were still actually top of the table after drawing their 4th game of the season. City lost game 5 but stayed top only dropping to second after losing their next game.

1932/22 Division Three South. City won their opening game of the season 2-0. Had tables been published after 1 game they would have been top on goal average.

1965/66 Division Three. City won their opening game of the season 4-0. Had tables been published after 1 game they would have been top on goal average. City ended up 22nd and relegated.

Goal average now there's a rave from the grave, none of this simplistic goal difference malarkey

The 1930's was our Golden Era, a 5th place finish in the top tier plus 2 FA Cup Semi-Finals.
