The new start for the NSNO Everton forums
https://www.nsno.co.uk/
Nearly made my Dad take us home at half time in normal time as I felt sick. Couldn't handle the occasion. Glad he made me see sense.
My Grandad bought me this on VHS, used to watch it with a ham butty in my nans almost every week.
Remember watching ITV (I think) highlights not knowing the score in the evening. Think it was presented by Jim Rosenthal. Incredible game.
In this special episode, allow yourself to be transported into the heart of Goodison Park, as The Athletic FC captures the essence of what makes this storied stadium so special using a technique called binaural audio.
You will hear from fans about their memories of the ground, what it will mean to move on from the arena they have called home for so long, and a surprising amount of love for its restricted-view seats.
Then there are the familiar sights, sounds and smells of a regular Goodison matchday. The persistent call of matchday programme sellers on the walk to the ground between tightly packed rows of terraced houses, the clatter of wooden seats as fans stand up in anticipation when Everton are on the attack, the deep intake of breath before a wall of noise greets a goal. And, in typical Goodison fashion, the occasional irate shout or boo for good measure.
We go to the Church of St Luke the Evangelist, situated in the north-west corner of Goodison, between two stands, and a bustling hub for supporters before each game; to the nearby Holy Trinity statue of club legends Alan Ball, Howard Kendall and Colin Harvey, and, of course, to the Gwladys Street End, home to Everton’s most vocal and vociferous support.
We chronicle the club’s bid to sign off from the Old Lady in style, and rewind the clock to remember some of Goodison’s most famous moments, from the 3-1 second-leg win over Bayern Munich in the semi-finals of the 1985 European Cup Winners’ Cup to James Tarkowski’s 98th-minute equaliser in this season’s Merseyside derby.

Too young and far away to have gotten to Goodison before the 90s but my personal high moment was probably quite recent - the Crystal Palace comeback. Will always remember talking to a stranger over a pint at HT, both as miserable and accepting of our demise as each other, and then seeing that second half and the emotions in the stadium afterwards.
Always wondered how he celebrated the goals and result.

Love this, so of course it's already sold out.
