Final Test Event

[GoldenToffee]

There will obviously be a few first team friendlies there in the summer, which makes sense as you can't send a Premier League team into a new season having never played at their home ground before. Not fussed at all about them playing in the final test event, though, however if time permits - why not?

Seamus testimonial I’ve heard

Would shamus rather have his testimonial at goodison were he had all the memories??
Maybe he won't have a choice this is only my opinion

I think it would be fitting if it was some kind of Coleman/Baines testimonial- I never liked that Baines didn't get one, and Coleman certainly deserves one too. Combining them both would be good, and should guarantee a sellout.

Wonder if Everton could put something together to include the likes of Cahill, Fellaini, Osman, Howard, Jags, Baines, Coleman etc

I imagine they will do some behind closed doors, along with a lot of the players training their to get used to the pitch, when I went the first test event you could see the pitch was wider which gives more options for teams who like a pass and move game, compared to goodison which is narrower and more tight.

yep, a modern day greats with some cult heroes would be brilliant. maybe a ocuple of celebrity fans like Bellew.

tbh given our lack of success in the premier league era, you're gonna need some fairly steady players too in all honesty to bulk out the numbers

it obviously depends on who fancies it and is fit enough to play but looking at players from the premier league era in general would be great as you wont get enough out of just Coleman/Baines's team mates who are retired and 'worthy' of a legends game.

The fan favourites you mentioned under Moyes would be brilliant but you also need around 30 players for this kind of thing as most wont be able to play 90 mins

a few more suggestions per manager/era

Moyes: Coleman, Baines, Howard, Arteta, Jagielka, Cahill, Pienaar, Osman, Distin, Yobo, Carsley, Kilbane, Hibbert, Neville, Yak, Saha, Fellaini, Weir, Stubbs, Dunc, Victor, Vaughan, Rodwell, Gosling

Martinez: Barry, Mirallas, Deulofeu, Lukaku (latter depending on whether this is during the season or early pre season)

Smith: Hutchison, Gough, Ball, Dunne, Pembridge, Unsworth

Cult players: Rooney, Donovan, Stracqurlisi, Fernandes, Oviedo, Jelavic, McFadden

I imagine the likes of Tony Bellew would probably fancy a run out too, you can't seem to keep him out of this stuff

Just please please please don't give StillRyan a game. Have him creating content, that is inevitable. But please don't put him on the pitch with this lot.
