In reply to Daveboyblue1 There were always going to be thousands of people locked out because of the restricted capacity, so how the hell would leaving the pub earlier solve people getting locked out? That doesn't solve the problem, the problem was caused when Everton reduced the capacity by a further 5%. Those 5% were locked outside in the pissing down rain. Ferg. (03/11/04) Simple Leave the pub earlier. Daveboyblue1. (01/11/04) Get Real I
was meeting several mates before the PNE game, and we decided we'd meet
in the Blue House for a change. Because of traffic, some of them turned
up late and we ended up walking up to Gwladys Street at 7.40pm. I had
thought to myself at 7.20 that we probably wouldn't get in, so by now,
I was positive we wouldn't. Surely it's not just me who realised that
there was going to be high demand?? Access all areas? I
don't know how many were locked out , but I would put the figure in thousands.
The
gates just closed at 8ish, well before the players came out. Please can
we have some organisation at Goodison. "Access all areas ?".
Fans Should Have Been There Early Just
logged on to read the backlash re "the lock out". For any so
called season ticket holding, long standing, taking the grand kids, been
there in the darkest moments, Coventry 0-0 moaning bastards who rolled
up to the gates at 7:45 (8pm) kick off, we're 3rd in the league, and thought
he could walk in and choose his seat, must be from another planet. If
he is a long standing supporter then he will remember years gone by, before
all ticket games, when paying at the gate was always a problem. Capacity Only 20,000 If the 2000 fans locked out would have got to the game early, then another 2000 would have been locked out. The 'get there early' comment from Everton doesn't work. What they failed to do was communicate to the fans that the capacity was down to 20,000 for Everton fans. They could have told the local press, this web site and even their own. They didn't. The 7000 preston fans , plus the reduction of the Everton end by 20% (which should never be done again) was wrong. Why don't they say they were wrong. Tell the fans what's going on before the event not after. Steve Cook. (30/10/04) Club to Blame The
incompetence and complacency of those running Everton FC near ceases to
amaze me. After the farce against Leyton Orient a couple of years ago,
surely it would never be allowed to happen again? Well it has, and according
to Everton it's the fans own fault they were locked out! Lock Out (again) I don't know how many were locked out against Preston, but I would put the figure in thousands. The gates just closed at 8ish, well before the players came out. Please can we have some organisation at Goodison. "Access all areas ?". Paul B W. (28/10/04) Locked Out 9.22pm Wednesday - sitting in the house on the computer - not at the game - GOT LOCKED OUT - had a season ticket for 500 years - go to matches every week with my daughter and grandsons - all season ticket holders - got moved by the so called Everton Stewards who asked us to move queues and then they shut the gates - Stewards didn't know what was happening - maybe they should have tied 2 tin cans together with some string and actually spoke to each other - absolute garbage - and they spoke to the fans - including me like we were crap - not important - we were there at the 8ooo gates - Texaco Cup - me I was there - Coventry 0- 0 - I was there - Walter Smith shite - I was there - tonight - turned away like some shity arsed mongrel - by my own club - spoken to by police and stewards in my own City and outside MY My MY MY MY MY club like some Johnny come lately shitehawk - do not let anyone involved in the running of the Everton FC Administration in charge of the Grotto at TJ Hughes or kids will think Father Christmas is dead - up yours you administrative dickbrains - Season ticket close to being thrown in the river. I put on a play about The Blues and organised it better than those shiteheads. George Mc Kane - The Dark House. (28/10/04) Dixie in Ireland When
Dixie Dean retired from English football
he went to Ireland and played for Sligo rovers. That was, as I remember
in the late 1930s. He helped Sligo to get to the final of the Irish F.A
cup. At the time there was a current movie with Gary Cooper called "Mr
Deeds comes to Town". Anyway Sligo Rovers had a rather meaningless
fixture to play Limerick A F C in the Irish league and such was the magic
of Dixie Dean's name that there were cars going around the town with adds
such as "Mr dean comes to town". The ground was packed and as
a youth of 17 I was there to see the legendary Dean. Unfortunately, Sligo
sent a second team to Limerick and I never got the chance to see him.
After all these years I regret this so much. Thank you for your informative
articles about Dean particularly and Everton. To think this young man
Wayne Rooney wished to leave Everton and go elsewhere!!! Ah well time
moves on and football is more now, a matter of finance and loyalty doesn't
count for much Sincerely, Luton Toffee What
a site! Loads of stuff for Everton fans...brilliant... Have you ever looked
on teletext Channel3 508? There is always bullshit of this description
on it...shock transfer phone this number 0908--------- £1.50min
signing immanent what a coup 0908--------- £1.50min playmaker signs
0908--------- £1.50min and so on.. are these companies aloud to
mislead fans if they were to phone up? Cos I'd be pissed off to hear "
Our reliable source in Russia has heard of talks between of top European
playmaker signing for the blues." what a load of bull every few days
there is something new... Super Kev Interesting to read about Super Kev's super attitude and professionalism. Especially as the latest article is posted above his last words of warning "relegation dog fight" and "settle for fourth from bottom" No doubt Kev will be happy to continue with his support from his current position until his contract runs out. We may be "in for a long hard season" but Christ we're enjoying it. Pete C. (25/10/04) In response... ...to
recent messages: Tony Hibbert By rating Hibbert MOM, I feel that he really has flown over the cuckoo’s nest. On the plus side Hibbert stuck to his task, however everytime Hukeslby got him one on one he either did him (Hibbert) or sent over decent centre. By standing off him so far it was clear that he was shit scared. It was only the profligacy of the other Norwich forwards, bad luck and poor delivery that saved Everton. MOM was Weir, Graveson, or in fact anyone bar Hibbert. The central defensive positions are fairly well covered; it is in the full back positions that we lack presence. Mike weir. (25/10/04) Dixie Dean How can anyone not have the Legend that is Dixie Dean in the side? 60 goals in a season (1928 ) it might have been before my time - the 70s onward, but the record speaks for itself. Steve Holmes. (25/10/04) Tickets for Cardiff If you know anyone that has any spares for the two cup finals that we are going to get to this season, could you call or email me. Also if you know anyone that's traveling to the European cup final in may 2006, I have 3 seats in mini bus I have booked. Happy days. I love you Everton. S.G.Whelan. (22/10/04) King Davie Never will we be in the state of purgatory again, fuck me didn't that feeling get lost once before. Please we don't need the stress. I nominate Davie Moyes as a manager for ten years. All in favour say 'aye'. My health will definitely improve. No doubt all Evertonians will benefit. Long live the new king of Moyesyside. COYB. John Lea. (22/10/04) How come that when he had our beloved blue shirt on he was a "petulant brat", but now he's got a red one on he's "only young and has a lot to learn". Oh, if only i could be a fickle Manc ! True blue. Plymouth Pete. (22/10/04) Many Thanks Many
thanks for the web site address for the Australian branch of an Everton
supporters club. Desperate to meet like minded individuals who are as
depressed as me on a Saturday knowing they cannot be at the game supporting
our great team. They are the only thing that I am missing! Bernard Murphy Will you tell Ian McDonald to put a health warning on any more articles he writes like the Bernard Murphy tribute please? Sat in work trying not to cry!!! nice one.... Paul Jones. (22/10/04)
I was so pleased to read this report, it shows just what Evertonians are about. Just a little amendement is required though. It was the Gardeners arms official supporters club who organised the season ticket for young john. we felt we wanted to mark Bernard's passing with a suitable tribute, and when I heard he worked overtime to ensure that young John got his season ticket for anfield, I thought it would be fitting if this seasons was bought by our club. We had no problems with the raffle, in fact it was easy to sell the tickets, because of the cause. When I handed the money to Brenda and Mo in the box office they kindly supplied me with a receipt made out to the gardeners arms. We started our club there with the blessing of the manager, but when he was replaced by a kopite it was difficult (am i diplomatic or what) so we moved on to Crofts and kept the name for the purchasing of tickets more than anything else. I think when Yifter's family seen the receipt they must of thought the regulars in the pub were responsible, which I can understand. I am so glad this was mentioned in Ian Mac's report as I can now show all the members. regards Freddie Highcock of the gardeners arms supporters club. (soon to be re-named and running out of the upstairs room in crofts) (22/10/04) Lineker Regarding
Lineker, who you say is "over-rated". Should the second best
English goalscorer of all-time (by one goal) and Everton's last "prolific"
marksman (do you seriously think we - or any other team to be fair - are
ever going Everybody has their opinion of their favourites and maybe Lineker as an Everton player did not establish enough to make such a side (not mine either - nowhere near) but credit where credit is due I think. Neil Lunt. (18/10/04) Greatest Team I've
just read Rick's email about his
greatest Everton side over the last 50 years, and although I don't agree
with one or two positions, it is some team. But when he says that Ball
was one of the most overrated players, I'm assuming he means Michael Ball
(or even Bobby Ball). Rick, you can't mean Alan Ball, one of the greatest
midfield players of the last 50 years! This man was the greatest midfielder
of my generation, and along with the incomparable Bobby Moore, was a great
hero to me. Even now, if I came home from work and found Bally in bed
with the wife I'd pull the covers over him to make sure he didn't get
cold. That Good Saturday Night Feeling The
rezzies beat the shite 1-0. The Worst What about Tiger McLaughlin and Joe Harper? Jem Fitzsimons. (16/10/04) Out with the old In with the new The position of players in the Moyes revolution, goes without saying are now in a position of change. We will now see the end of the old brigade. The Moyes team of choice not having to play the people left from the last managers fukk ups. Sorry it's the dawn of a new day, lets get it on. Out with the old in with the new. It's a fuccin fact of life. The end is nigh. If you do not belief me the business will prove the hard facts of life. You will not be offered a contract. Playing for Everton is a privilege. The people have spoken, good luck. and thank you. COYB. John Lea. (16/10/04) Z-Cars Can you tell me when the theme from Z-cars was first played for the introduction of the players at Goodison, and why the playing of this particular tune came about. Regards Geoff Orton. (16/10/04) What Do You Think? Have your say! e-mail bluekipper.com |
