Was wondering what our best run of league wins at Tannadice to start a season was, and only twice have we beaten our current 7 (and counting)

1928/29 in second tier we won our first 16 home games (out of 18), lost the 17th and won the 18th, we won the division

1968/69 in the top flight we won our first 9 home league games that season



An updated comparison to previous top two teams so far..
