We ran out of coaches ...

certainly ran out of mine and to the ground as we arrived just before kick off .....

Yes, I remember (due to problems on the M6) our coach taking a very long winded route, via the A50, A6, Matlock, Stockport and the M60...

whilst looking for the numbers at blackburn came across this quote from an everton fan "only 440 of their supporters - one of the five lowest visiting attendances in Everton's Premier League history" lol

Lets be fair, Blackburn is a bit of hike from Merseyside, ahem

Yes it was said to be 5,000 although being young at the time it seemed a lot more. It certainly sounded like a lot more!

golfaddick

does anyone know if there is a pitch inspection planned for sat at all ?? Lots more rain due & not sure if they cover their pitch. Maybe operationpig will know ??

E_cafc

Did we sell any more tickets today then?

No cover, plenty of rain to come up here, 50/50.

It was a shame we couldn`t have scored a goal that day, we would have blown the roof off!

The_President

The deluge in December was horrific it's cold but dry right now up here, and unless we get biblical rain tomorrow it'll be on.

Rain for 14 hours non stop

Remember the 1.30 PI v Blackpool? that was touch and go and it was just 'raining' but going by forecasts reports, tomorrow's going to rain heavy for a solid day then on Saturday it'll be easing off.

I hope it's on, can't be doing with a fixture pile up at this stage of the season.

OP have you had snow up in Sheffield?

A Massive Ark

Wendys are so massive that referees legally can't call their games off FACT

Yes but at a higher price, not sure what that is though.

They go up to £450 each or £875 for two.

Me and a mate are getting up there nice and early

Yeah I think I will do the same. Jump on the rattler. Hopefully we will be 2 or 3 up by halftime. The sooner we can get out of that shit tip the better.
