Bootle FC play host to Everton on Thursday night 3rd May in the semi-final of the L'pool Senior Cup.
The tie holds a lot of anticipation due to the historic past of the competition.
The game is being billed as the 'original derby' as the two teams were fierce rivals before the football league was formed. Everton were elected into the football league, while Bootle, initially playing in the Football Alliance and the new 2nd division were soon replaced by new neighbours (the shite) due to financial troubles.
Everton hold the record for number of wins in the Senior Cup with 45 wins and their last being back in 2007; while Bootle are 3 times winners, the last time however was way back in 1889.
Bootle are hoping that another good turnout for this game after over 1000 spectators turned out the last time the teams met back in 2010, with the Everton coming away with a 2-4 winners.
Bootle Boss said: 'The game back in February 2010 was a roaring success, with our best attendance at the Delta Taxis Stadium. Everyone enjoyed the night, the atmosphere was excellent and, despite the result everyone at the club was on a high.'
