quote from Coventry Mad credited to Jim Brown - suspect something lost in translation. How can it be a first if we not broken the record!! I saw a few of the away wins in 69/70, the last two were at Forest and Wolves.
Coventry City's 2-0 League One win at Bury on Saturday was another first for the club.
It was the first time that City have won nine away leagues games in a season.
There have been five previous occasions when there have been eight away victories - in 1937-38, 1938-39, 1963-64, 2001-02 & 2003-04.
The record for City away league wins in a season is ten, set under Noel Cantwell in the old Division One in 1969-70; a feat that earned a sixth place finish and qualification for the old UEFA Fairs Cup.
