One for the anoraks

This Saturday sees the playing of the 200,000th game of league football in England since its launch in 1888.

So far there have been 199,972 league games
1 game Friday night
2 games Saturday lunchtime
That means the 25th game on Saturday at 3pm is the 200,000th game

199,976 - Everton v Brighton in the PL
199,977 - 199,984 - the 8 games in the Championship
199,985 - 199,996 - the 12 games in League 1
199,997 - Carlisle v Barrow
199,998 - Colchester v Oldham
199,999 - Crawley v Southend
....
200,000 - Exeter City v Cambridge Utd!

Obviously any postponements above us would scupper things!

If they all kick off at 3:00pm there won’t be a 200,000th games, they’ll all be the 199,976th game until the 5:00pm kick off which becomes the 200,010th (or whatever it is) game.

Comfortably mid-table

We could still claim it as the 200,000th listed game ;)
Spurious for the furiously curious
