Given the ridiculous demands of this league you would have to have a seriously deep squad and a good proportion of luck along the way.
I don’t think so. Didn’t Reading do ridiculously well one year? Only lost 2? Think HRK was there at the time. They lost there 2nd game and didn’t then didn’t lose there next match until 35/36
Correct, although HRK would've only been about 16 at the time.
From Wikipedia...
Reading dominated the Championship, setting a new league record of 33 league games unbeaten between the opening day defeat by Plymouth Argyle and the loss at Luton Town in February; these were the only league defeats the team would suffer that season. On 25 March 2006 they clinched promotion to the top flight for the first time in their 135-year history thanks to a 1–1 draw away to Leicester City.[2] Coppell's team secured the league title in the following week, with a 5–0 drubbing of Derby County, and they would go on to set a new English league record for the number of points won in a season, with 106.
