I've lost track of the club and league records that we've broken over the last 12-18 months, so wondered if people could remind me so I can feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Consecutive clean sheet record broken, I think it was most goals in the first 3 Championship games, quickest to 50 goals in 60-odd years. Which others did we manage to beat?

Club record wins in 10 games last season, which we then broke this season with most wins in 11 games

I wonder what our season record is for average attendance as a percentage of capacity? We've never been as near-full this consistently in my lifetime certainly.

Most games played at Deepdale in the league without winning!

Rushworth broke the club ‘minutes without conceding’ record iirc

This season will be our record average attendance as percentage of capacity.Although average attendance was higher in the late 1960s , Highfield Road was nowhere near full as the capacity was 50000 in those days

Slightly off topic, but I always wonder did they actually know what the capacity of grounds was back then?
Like did they know for that Wolves game in 1967 that Highfield Road would actually hold 51k? Or did they just keep letting people in until it was full?

The latter, I suspect. As a small child, I was usually lifted over the turnstiles, and it wasn't uncommon in a big crowd for children to be sat round the edge of the pitch. Photographs show this at the Wolves match when a pitch invasion by these kids after we went 2-1 up threatened to abandon the game. Highfield Road couldn't actually contain 51, 455. 'Health and safety' - what's that?

People were climbing up the floodlight pylons, the possibility for a serious crowd incident were frightening, couldn't happen today, but health and safety as we now know it didn't exist then
