Re: Season tickets next season

Ian Mcl I think my name is mud anyway after the stink I kicked up, and the emails I sent to all the hierarchy, re the Everton fans in the upper JH and the chaos they caused.

Not one has replied with even a courtesy acknowledgement. Can't say I'm surprised. Wouldn't surprise me if there is no ...

Re: Everton fans in home end

Good point Castro. From the injury angle you couldn't put them in a worse place than right at the top of the Upper JH. Several were forcibly dragged down the steps from top to bottom. A few home fans sitting in the end seats gave them an extra thwack. The last one to be dragged out was given an extr...
