Goodison - goodbye to the grand old lady
Final home game tomorrow after 133 years.
For the football romantics, another one of the traditional old grounds. I remember being in there for the end of season game when we nearly won the league... great West Ham support .
A couple of non - Everton statistics ;
in 1966 it staged both a World Cup Quarter final and Semi final
It was the only place in Britain where Bobby Moore scored for England

Fuck off, it looks the absolute bollocks compared to our fucking greyhound racing stadium.I still honestly think we have the best stadium in London.We don’t even have the best stadium in East London.
We don’t even have the best stadium in Stratford.
The warm up track outside is better than the soul-less bowl.

Re: Goodison - goodbye to the grand old lady
Not sure what the big fuss is about
Everton will still be playing there next season
Not sure with the new stadium how they can afford not to sell it

Re: Goodison - goodbye to the grand old lady
It was one of my favourite away grounds and I liked it that they still had the wooden seats in the away end. We never had much in the way of results at Goodison but that changed slightly in more recent years. Loved the 2016 game there where we made the comeback to win 3-2. One thing I really liked there was their coppers would quite often do a round of what was presumably meant to have been a show of force of banging long truncheons against the seats, in an effort to get everyone to sit down, and unlike a lot of other away fans I reckon, our lot didn't take a blind bit of notice of them and they eventually gave up.
The Hawthorns would be another to add and Hillsborough, if WBA and Sheff Wed ever get back up.

Re: Goodison - goodbye to the grand old lady
Can recall Everton fans used to refer to Liverpool by replacing Liver with the N word when John Barnes first played for them
They were one of the last to field black players
Heard one of their 70’s managers was a member of the National Front
Lovable Scousers eh?

We've had some naughty rumbles over the years for sure ...but mutual respect now I think .?
Always found em alright personally
They'll miss Goodison park big time after the novelty wears off.
What's left ..Elland rd?
And Villa Park, but after that I'm scratching my head.
Yea Villa park..
Burnley as well next season

Peter fuckin Beagrie.
classic WHU that.
He is one in a LONG line of shit hounds that have tormented us over the years

Re: Goodison - goodbye to the grand old lady
Went there a couple of times, one of the great old grounds. Speaking of which, I still miss Highbury,used to love going o er there when we played them. And as much as it pains me to say, White Hart Lane was also another proper football ground.
Re: Goodison - goodbye to the grand old lady
I’ve seen us win there a few times. My first time there was 2-1 to Everton. We were in control of the game and Kovac scored an absolute cracker. Tomkins got sent off harshly and that was the end of that.
