does anfield include the games we played there? Previous MessagePrevious MessagePrevious Message
Not all that long surely. They started at Anfield when we did at Goodison but not in division one for 2 years. They've been in second division 11 times, we've been down 4 seasons I think.
I've probably made some error in reasoning but hopefully we'll still be knocking about when our old ground overtakes. Not sure about Villa. Previous Message
Just been thinking about this, I wonder if any stadium will ever overtake the number of top flight games held at GP, which ground it might be and if so when?
Villa Park is a candidate. But, I think it might be Anfield (which is fitting in an ironic kind of way). I think they might overtake GP at some point, but I'd guess it will be at least 30 odd years before they do. That lot have played a good few seasons out of the top flight and the clock starts ticking for a few years after 1892 as they started off in Division 2. The unknown of course will be if any candidates decide to move (Man Utd, for example).
Just a bit of fun for the statisticians. I'll be pushing up daises by the time it happens in any case.
Might be a record that stands for all time.
