So sad I missed it, would have loved to have been there. 
Great tribute to a man that had his critics…. But no one can argue that he loved our club. 
great to see such an amazing send off from the family that is Everton.

COYBs.

I was quite moved, I think he would have been very touched by the crowds warmth, BTW wahat with the red heart?

As I read this, it comes across as lame excuses in a non-apology apology. All they need to say is "we screwed up, we apologize, it won't happen next time". Done. Move on.

Partly yes, but all cup games the entry is slower as there are more non regulars as a few can’t or  don’t go, and many who do will have young kids in tow which does slow down the whole process. I’m not excusing last night, a local BBC presenter who is a ST holder said on his show today that he was shouted at by stewards to go to the ticker desk, totally uncalled way of treating customers.

A few years back we had delays getting in to the FA cup game against Lincoln, and once bitted etc we always get there earlier than normal to avoid another problem.

I registered for the auto cup scheme, but got an email when the Burnley game tickets were opened up saying they had problems and I had to apply for my seat which I did and got pdf tickets.. Bizzarley the ticket we’ve been given by a friend who’s not well enough to attend worked without any issues, we arrived early in case there was a problem.

It’s carnage no season ticket holders can get in!

The auto cup scheme didn’t get set up for everyone, I had to get a manual ticket sent by email 

String team except Young, I though Patterson deserved his place which would only help his confidence.

Great to watch them all together, I counted 19 headers, we need to get the ball to him from the wings one now he’s back.

Branthwaite, he continues to impress, DCL, Myko, Tarks for his continued guidance of Branthwaite and Pickford worthy of a mention.

Disposable income is very pertinent, the majority of our current season ticket holders are local, without wanting to assume too much, the figures below taken from a google search suggest that many may well have less disposable income given where they live, if prices do increase too much we may well loose some of our core home support.
 

In December 2020, it was revealed that 5,832 of Liverpool's 27,000 season ticket holders had Liverpool postcodes. This compares to 25,647 of Everton's 30,500season ticket holders who had Liverpool postcodes. Everton are the most popular with match going fans in the City of Liverpool.

My fucking number 9.

Is he like shit going to even consider Saudi after working as hard as he has to return to TOP LEVEL football.

Are you sure, I think he would love playing in front of less than 700 people in the stinking heat

He seems to start games a bit shaky and then improves during the game, who knows, maybe a run of games would stop that, which I think he deserves, he’s more reliable than Young atm.

Not an easy game to watch, but it’s 3 vital points at this stage, I would have left Dom on, he’s such an immense outlet for us, although Chermiti did better than I expected. As ever we should have had 1 or 2 more goals. I’ll take wins when players are having an off day every time.

West Ham 1 Everton 2

A lot will depend on price of season tickets I’m expecting at least an extra £100 per ticket. 

I fear it will be more, which will be a struggle for many.

Good option to have around, can not fault his work ethic at all however if we are to progress to the top half of the table he needs to become a squad player...

Let’s hope it’s a problem we have to deal with soon.

I was over in Liverpool on Monday looking for a new car, drove along Derby Rd a few times, the ground is looking really impressive from their, went down to Regent Rd, and close up its just awesome, with the roof shape finished. It gave me goose bumps, leaving Goodison will be an emotional day, moving in to BM will be equally so.

Sad news, whilst he has made mistakes I think he was, and always will be a true blue and wanted the best for the club we all love. 
My thoughts and condolences go to his family.

Thanks Cornish, I always make my prediction after the teams being released, sometimes the reception in the ground doesn’t allow me to post on time.

Are we going to get a choice where to sit. 
either side on the west side will do preferably the south side. 

Hopefully yes, the main part of the survey was asking for preferences on how ST will be allocated.

1 How long they have been held ( my choice )

2 First come first served

3 Ballot

4 No of away games attended ( I think,  can’t remember exactly).

He was very good yesterday defending, I still think he has ability going forward as long as he is running on to the ball, as opposed to having to stop to collect it as aways seems the case.

If it's a choice between a senior player making mistakes or a younger player making mistakes while he's learning then I will choose the younger player every time.

And the amount of mistakes Young is making is too many, both fouls yesterday were stupid as examples.

I wanted the same are you saying we can’t go in the west stand ?

We can but not in the centre part, it’s to the sides.

That’s the same as Goodison though right? No decent seats available in the main stand in the middle. 
To be fair, they would be the best seats in the house so they should be sold at a premium if the club want to make more money. 
Just try to get in the upper east stand? 

Not really, I’m on Top Balcony and pretty much on the centre line, 10 to 15 rows high up would have been good if a little quiet, as it stands it will be very quiet in that area.

I have put upper east as first choice then west either side of the corporates as 2nd and 3rd.

I’ve also asked if they will be selling the seat from Goodison once we vacate, I’m desperate to have mine.

Having watched MOTD last night, the failure to book Konate for the 2nd office is the biggest bug bear, every other similar tackle received a booking. Going to 10vs10 would have taken some of the pressure off, but in reality who knows.

It just feels very unjust.

Branthwaite , we’ve got a star in this lad, reads the game so we’ll, and wasn’t phased by playing in a big game when many could have been. 
All played well except Young and Keane for being naive.

Stupid play from Young and bad refereeing throws the rest of the team under the bus, we then huffed and puffed and fell to naive defending, once it got to 1-0 we weren’t getting back in.

All bar Young can hold their head high.

I’m disappointed there are no standard seat in the main stand where alll the hospitality is going, I wanted to be near halfway line with my back to the river as it’s going to be flippin cold and windy in winter.
