I didn’t realise we would be the first team to reach 5K games, anyone know what match that would be?

Sadly this is probably not the best stat to claim because of the original clubs the others have played in the Prem and as such won’t have played as many games some seasons? Only speculating.

I think that it is Derby @ Home....

Derby at home is scheduled to be our 5,000th league fixture - we're due to take over Notts County's current record of 4,986 league games played at Blackburn on the 11th January.

We're currently 4th on the all time league table, we tend to switch between 4th and 5th with Wolves, depending on who's having the better season.

Be good for the club to run an offer against Derby - £5 a ticket to fill the ground.

That's correct, we'd played 26 fewer games than Notts County though through the years despite them also never being in the Prem so it wasn't an "honour" we were expecting to achieve.

Another stat we probably don't want to celebrate is that we're only 54 goals away from conceding our 7,000th league goal - although at least 7 other teams have already done that.

Most of those were Rudd's fault

He'll go the other way and charge *£55 to attend such an auspicious milestone; his rationale being that if it weren't for him we wouldn't have made it this far.

*All profits will be ploughed back into new nosebags for his current stable.

That explains why he doesn’t attend many games then

Home game? Club need to do something special

With a certain Derby number 32 in town they’re unlikely to reduce prices...

But yes agree and I’m sure they will. Theres been a feature relating to it in each match day programme this season.
 
Wonder which fan has seen the most live matches? If you imagine someone in their 70’s who has been watching us for 60 years home and away they could have racked up 2,500 games. Wow.
