What did people think of the stuff before kick off?

The pics I’ve seen looked goood. I know some folk find it a bit American, but I like the atmosphere and vibes they create.

I other news, my mum’s moved back to Merseyside from Nottingham after 45 years and the view’s a lot better!

Edit: Taken just before the Arsenal game.

Over the past few months, we’ve had discussions with the club about installing a Tifo machine in the south stand.

Due to the size of the stand, this machine could not be a permanent fixture. Our flag last night was the tallest Tifo ever used in the Premier League, which requires a specially trained team to pull it up manually.

This costs tens of thousands of pounds each time, and we didn’t have sufficient funds to complete it before the year ended. After meetings with the engagement team and one with CEO Angus Kinnear, the club learned how much our fans and the group wanted to see this type of display at our new home. With support from the club’s owners, TFG helped bridge the gap, enabling us to deliver our first display successfully at the final home game of 2025.

We want to thank the @friedkingroup and @Everton for making this type of display possible last night, as well as all the staff and tech team who helped us to coordinate the lighting, video, and music.

Most of all, we would like to thank our fans for their brilliant contributions, which allowed us to get the sheets for the display behind the flag and also to our volunteers who helped us set up.

We can’t wait for a full flag display in the new year, and hope you liked our first Tifo display.

That Tifo display was incredible to see lifting up. Truly massive.

Wish our team was even 50% as impressive last night.

Was actually shite being in the south stand for it.

Imagine it looked great being able to see it.

I was just stood there holding up a piece of blue plastic and couldn’t see anything.

But, yeah, looked great and I’m all for the light show and music before the game.

Was a few kicks off in the upper south last night which was fun to watch.

Yeah, was a bit shite being in the south stand for it but then you knew you'd see video and images afterwards and you'd see how good it looked. Not enough elbow room trying to hold them sheets up landscape as requested though, going to go portrait view next time.

Feel like I'm missing out on the south stand drama though. I've not been to every game but I'm yet to see or hear any kind of kick off so far where I am, although the fella nearby last night who was macro-coaching the players throughout the match last night did test me a bit.

Great video on the 1878's setting up this weekend's display

What's going on in the south stand with all the aggro? Never heard of much trouble at Goodison.

Doesn’t seem to be quite in the spirit of the South stand….

That Tifo:

Same experience for me but white plastic, the old fellas near me were maoning about their arms getting tired.

The stewards did seem busy but I didnt get to see any of the actual drama. More standing up arguments?

There's a similar guy behind me, he likes to sprinkle in more of the "hit him! Snap him" style of commentary. I love a tackle but he wants us down to about 8 men.

Sky ruined the coverage as when it was unfolding, they were in the studio and we had to watch it through their big screen with Redknapp etc. standing in front of it.
It does look great, but for what it costs I wouldn’t be arsed.
