Reserve it for Everton v Villa - it’s likely one of the most played fixtures in the top league.

Is there a list of grounds that've hosted the most top flight games? Also most internationals? Also grounds that saw Pele and Eusebio?

'Best stadium in my life' - Eusebio loved World Cup experience at Everton
Everton and the World Cup: Eusebio scored four goals in the World Cup quarter-finals at Goodison Park in 1966 as Portugal recovered from being 3-0 down to defeat North Korea 5-3
If we redeveloped Goodison (shut up Tom) then it wouldn't be the same for many years but eventually it would mean the same to the newer generations that it does to us now, but that will also apply to BMD, in a few years time that will be home and have memories for the newer generations but it will be a ground that will outlast them, and be fit for many years to come and in a much better location

Welcome back Wayne
That would definitely be my choice, most played fixture, two inaugural members, proper history……
To be fair, I sat in that section vs Burnley and the stewards were more like old fashioned cinema ushers/usherettes! Very attentive to all the tourist supporters, showing people to individual seats!
NB. All tourist supporters seemed like true blues as I didn’t see a single one using an iPad!
Could have swore there was some significance to a game at Goodison a few years ago that was majorly significant.
When you're young and small and you've not (in my case way back then) seen anything bigger than the pub or church on the corner.
If you walk up to the outside even then you can't take in the scale of it because you're close and can't see it 'all at once'.
You go through a pokey Gwladys St turnstile, into the low roofed 'concourse' as the call it now all you can smell is damp coats, ale, piss, woodbines and steri milk.
Then you go up the 10 of so stairs and the flood lit colours hit you - the brilliant green and the blue and white Lietch crosses.
You never realised a space could be so enclosed yet so big.
You think Wednesday was good.
Imagine the old ground when it truely was 'woodison', with 60+000, Full Bear Pit mode engaged, magnified with the full Reverb of those wooden floors.
Thats all sadly long gone, but it was that loud I can still hear the echo across 60yrs

I still feel like that kid in the video every time I walk up the stairs and see the pitch. Never lost that magic and always makes my heart miss a beat. I drive past it every day and I still get that buzz walking up to pitch level. So many memories made in over 50 years. Wish I had the same time in front of me to make as many at the new place.

Pretty loud in the Gwladys St on Wednesday, my ears still haven't recovered yet.
Was it the 200th league game? Just looked it up and that was 2015 though. Wow, time flies. Also it was at Villa Park.
EFC v Villa is the most played league fixture in the world, all of them in the top flight too. But then we've only been out of the top flight for 4 years total, and villa are second for seasons played in the top flight, so it makes good sense.
Could have sworn blind there was something about a Blackburn game. Top flight games at a ground, or most played game, or some number thing.
My two best nights there under the lights were, Bayern in 1985 and West Brom in 1970 to clinch the league.
