First Goodison Visit

[maccavennie]

Hi all! Coming over from US to see my first match at Goodison Saturday vs Hammers. Probably won't be seeing much as I'm high up in one end but looking forward to the experience.

What helpful hints do you have for me? When should I arrive? Any particular place to gather beforehand?

Thanks much

Get to the ground for around 1pm, give yourself some time to walk around the stadium and take some photographs. Go to the Winslow on Goodison Road, have a couple of drinks with fellow Blues then head back to the stadium for 2:15pm. Get inside, grab another drink and a programme and take the steps to your seat, that's the best moment seeing her for the first time as she's amazing.

Take it all in from 2:30pm onwards and you'll feel that buzz of excitement with 5-10 minutes to go.

Kick off looms, noise ramps up, stadium looks amazing.

3.06pm boo the crap out of all of them as we go 2 goals down inside the first 5 minutes and make sure your yelling telling everyone how you've spent over 2k to come and watch this pile of crap.

Half time grab a pie and a drink and think about your life choices and how the hell did you become an Evertonian

Full time, your 3 seats to the right and 2 rows further forward than where you started and you realise you've just had multiple limbs moments as we come from 2 goals down to win 3-2

You'll walk out the ground feeling on top of the world and that feeling you've had you'd have paid 10k if someone had told you thats how it was going to be

Taxi into town, straight to the Lisbon and see who fancies a bum

Until this moment I never thought my perfect Saturday existed but wow there it is

You had a good day at that Wimbledon game eh!

The money we must have sent the Lisbon's way over the years....

Thinks it’s time I admit I’ve profited from a reference.

And you’re not getting a penny.

Hi all! Coming over from US to see my first match at Goodison Saturday vs Hammers. Probably won't be seeing much as I'm high up in one end but looking forward to the experience.

What helpful hints do you have for me? When should I arrive? Any particular place to gather beforehand?

Thanks much

Go over at least once a season on my own, Not a beautiful boozer but I go to Wetherspoons (Thomas frost?) early doors, get a spot facing the tellys to watch an early game and then always end up,chatting to sound Blues, enjoy, and hopefully better luck than me (1-3 Fulham 2-3 Brentford last two games )

They are taking the piss that they don't sponsor this forum to be honest!

The least they could do is sponsor the bloody forum!

Make sure you visit St lukes Church by Gwladys Street on match day and go upstairs plenty of interesting Everton memorabilia there and interesting things to see.

Must say "The Lisbon" shout for anyone asking for first game advice is absolutely grim...it's literally the worst in joke.

You had a good day at that Wimbledon game eh!

Had a nice repeat with the Palace game

The Ship and Mitre pub in the city centre is always my port of call...Great beer,good atmosphere, decent food and usually has Blues in there match day...8-10 minutes in a taxi to the ground.

Go the brick on County road
Close to the ground, full of blues.
If west ham are making a nuisance of themselves.
You can join the lads , like the fella in the movie Green street and be are yank in the hunt for the ICF.
That would be something to tell the folks back home.

Yes, the boorish, repetitive responses to request for advice from 1st time visitors are pathetic.

I've never been to the Lisbon, SccrDon, but apparently it's a gay pub. Nothing wrong with that, but just so you know.

The Winslow in Goodison Rd will be packed , but it's the safest bet if you don't want to be late.
