Great Goodison moments.
Re: Great Goodison moments.
Yeah, they want to enjoy the Southampton match - an awful lot of work goes into these displays but they don't want to miss anything of the last match there.
Which is fair enough.

Re: Great Goodison moments.
Looks like it's happening but with most of the ground being knocked down. Probably the old bits with the Park End remaining and it'll only really be the footprint of Goodison. I can get on board with that, I'd have hated some parts of the old Goodison to be left and some knocked down but if it's pretty much all the historical bits away and leaving a footballing hub then that could be a good things.

Will be delighted if it is a platform for the women’s team and the women’s game in general, but there will need to be some big changes to become financially viable I think (in my own inexpert opinion).

Evidence for a PSR sale to a separate entity within the group?Toddacelli wrote: ↑Wed May 07, 2025 6:38 pm Very surprised at this.

Which hopefully offsets the additional costs of dismantling/redevelopment.
I'm still not sure.

Re: Great Goodison moments.
See the club are asking people without tickets to not come to the ground 

No consideration for life long fans who just want to be there to say farewell to a huge chapter in their lives

I always sneer at kopites for constantly bunking in (they were at it again against Spurs).

It's pretty standard comms for an oversubscribed event to discourage people coming and creating a hazard to life when they do not have tickets.
Deffo a difference between "County road for a pint" and "going the ground" though.

It’s normal for the police and the club to discourage people turning up to manage the crowds on Goodison road.Paddockoldie wrote: ↑Thu May 08, 2025 1:00 pm See the club are asking people without tickets to not come to the groundNo consideration for life long fans who just want to be there to say farewell to a huge chapter in their lives
It will be chaos so needs to be managed.
Re: Great Goodison moments.
Won't make one iota of difference
It'll be good vibes though I think.
Personally, I'm quite glad for my last memory of Goodison Park to be the Ipswich match rather than standing outside the ground without a ticket to get in it.

Re: Great Goodison moments.
Notice to last game being billed and end of an era rather than goodbye goodison too
