What is Operation Goodison Excercise?

[Ct jr.]

I heard it on the P.A. in the television broadcast. what was all that about?

 

[Dom1878]

A fire drill i think...

Was funny at the match today, some people stood up and started doing start jumps everytime the announcement came on

 

[Toffe3m4n]

It's a live drill for the stewards, whom I can only imagine each take up a specific position in the ground incase of a fire emergency I guess.

theres a possibility its the 'war on terror' thing, practicing procedure and all that gumph.

I was at a match last season when they announced "Operation Goodison is commencing", the blues then charged up the field and scored. A few minutes later they announced that "Operation Goodison is over." The timing was impeccable.

 

[Robert Jarvis]

and that was the end of the goals!!

They have done it for years.

You'd think they'd get walkie talkies or something.
