Just done a search, and according to their website, Gillingham made 5,000 in October 2023, which makes them no9, and we will be no 10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basement Jack Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 The cover of the programmes for tomorrow is top notch Were hopeless at lots of things but our programmes are always great especially for the big occasions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geörge Whitebread Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 We're older than some on that list. Did they get there first because they were in the League while we were in the Alliance for the first two seasons? Or is it also partly down to us spending a fair amount of time in the top flight with fewer teams in it (albeit I'm not sure if that was actually the case for most of our time at that level).

Bit of both. For a long time the top two divisions played 42 matches and the bottom two 46. Here’s the Football League’s list https://www.efl.com/about-the-efl/the-5000-club/#:~:text=Derby County's inaugural game came,in Sky Bet League One. Gillingham certainly aren’t one of the 5000 club, they were the opposites for Notts County’s 5000th game. That may be why their name came up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yh you're correct, i misread, Gillingham were the team County played, so if we are the 10th, I still don't know who is No 9 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notts County are the 9th. They would have been a few years earlier if they hadn’t dropped out the league for a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have County on my list of 8, @marconi mentioned Stoke, so checking their website they have played well over 5000 games, so that fits in with us being No 10.

Sorry, I misread your list. Must be Stoke, although they were out of the league for a few years in the early twentieth century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
