It’s completely irrelevant to ticket prices. The football club has everything to do with the ticketing. The charity does the good work in the community. The club and charity are linked, they are not one and the same. Of cause they are the fucking same, the charity doesn’t exist without the club Everything the charity does is in the name of the club and is because of the club The work EITC do is highly relevant to us being called the people’s club, even if that wasn’t exactly what Moyes meant when he coined the phrase, and I just don’t think it’s fair to ignore all of that and say we are not the people’s club because of the ticket prices , which are still very reasonable IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are two arms of the same organisation, but they are not the same. By your logic we shouldn’t criticise the way the football club is run because the charity does a good job. That’s bloody ridiculous. By this token I guess you are no longer upset about the week in Bournemouth as the charity did a great job while the football club didn’t. It’s possible to do something well and something poorly, one doesn’t have to make up for the other. And in this case I see no relevance to the work EITC do and ticket prices. Feel free to make a case in how they are relevant to each other. I’ve not mentioned the peoples club in this, as I’ve not been a fan of the club taking it on and using it. Doesn’t mean anything to me other than a nice comment from David Moyes, so I try to avoid discussing it and won’t use it to praise or criticise the club.

Works out at £ 11:05 a game for the kids and £31:58 for me. I appreciate that’s a lot of money for some people but still think it’s a bit OTT to start bashing the club over the people’s club tag and disregarding all the work they do in the community All leisure activities and entertainment carry a cost, it's a personal decision if you want to pay it. We've just sold a boat and had loads of good times on it but it was like throwing money down the drain with the costs associated. A season ticket to Goodison would suit me if I were closer and on the list!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s not what I’m saying at all, and I’m sure you know that This is the quote from zoo I’m referring to “Everton should take a leaf out of Bayern Munich's book. The Peoples Club? One of the most laughable "mottos" I've ever seen” The people’s club now is more a reference to how ingrained the club is to the local community and what it does for them So I just think that is way OTT to say that’s laughable just because of a modest rise in ticket prices Me being furious at how shite we were at Bournemouth does not equate to me thinking they are no longer a force for good off the field Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The enjoyment of Everton has slowly been sucked out of me, to the point where going every game in rain, hail or shine just isn't that exciting anymore. The fact that they are increasing prices makes me sick, because of those that still love going but will be priced out. Everton should take a leaf out of Bayern Munich's book. The Peoples Club? One of the most laughable "mottos" I've ever seen. Can't say I blame you the club is a joke on and off the pitch. We cant even have a reasonable midtable team its just constant shambolic mismanagement and decline and I can't see it changing unless we are taken over. And the club have the cheek to increase prices when we are dping nothing but fail they don't deserve the fans we have! Re the squad it isn't good enough in forward areas we've sold or lost most of our creativity and goals the last few years. That being said as much as I don't think it helps to keep hiring and firing managers because then none of them can ever rebuild the squad, Frank and the team must start doing better tactically and performance wise starting when we come back or he's under pressure we can't afford to go down.

I fully expect Lampard to be sacked before the end of the season and I just can't be arsed with it. Pick a manager, sack them inside 18 months without the board taking an ounce of accountability. Rinse. And. Repeat. Lampard probably isn't the best thing since sliced bread, but scrapping his plans and starting again for the 46th time is just boring, predictable and ultimately inept. It's a bit like having a ship that's sinking due to the amount of screws missing, and firing the cook over and over again because they serve shit food.

Agree mate even Carlo Ancelotti couldn't get us going the rot goes deeper than the manager, to the owner and board down. I agree I would rather keep one manager who can build over seasons it's the only answer, hiring and firing won't solve our problems. But the performances and results have to be a minimum level too, we need to see a direction and style of play but currently we are inept and the tactics are naive. I have sympathy for him with the cards he has been dealt but we also can't afford to go down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted December 8, 2022 Report Share Posted December 8, 2022 I'd have thought it would have been more beneficial for us to have the winter break games ahead of the start of the season resuming and not at the end of the first part of the season?
