Goodison Park

Post by scouseclaret » Wed Dec 09, 2020 8:26 pm

A blue-nose mate of mine got lucky in the ballot for Everton v Chelsea this weekend. As three of 2,000 people in a ground that seats nearly 40,000, his tickets are - I am not making this up - restricted view!

Think he’s secretly quite pleased, mind...

Aren’t most seats at Goodison restricted view?

Talking about restricted view, Davethevicar’s view at Luton back in 2006 takes some beating!

Was that the Akinbiyi game or the year afterwards?

There was talk of requiring a negative Covid test, don't know if they are proceeding with that.

Yes negative test result required from up to 36 hours before kick off.
However they have mass testing including rapid tests still available in Liverpool so colleague is planning to be tested at 4pm and expects results back in 30 mins.
So ample time for the 8pm kick off.

Nice of the Gov to let selected areas of the country to have this and for Liverpool to be moved into tier 2 as a result of the mass testing results.
When will we get this opportunity / option?

The new flow test is far more accurate with a lot less false positives, that is available in Liverpool.

I've heard the players are performing 'On Chesil Beach' for group therapy before the match, so perhaps as well.

In reality yes, but in terms of being considered restricted view no. The pic below is my view for the game there when Jeff Hendrick scored in the 1-0 win. The post was literally inches in front of me and that's the view I had when looking towards the centre of the pitch. It is not considered restricted view because I could see the goals at the Gwladys Street to the right of the post and at the Park End to the left. Had it been declared restricted by Everton it would have entitled me to a £1 reduction in the price.

QPR has at least 25 restricted view seats
What the really meant was that you could see the square root of sod all
An absolute disgrace that any seats can be sold with restricted views nowadays

A view like that at Man City the last few times we've played there would have been great!

At Exeter many years ago full price stand tickets cost £8, restricted view £5. I don't know where the restricted view tickets were - maybe Ottery St Mary? - but my full price one (Spijed will remember this) was on the back row of the stand by the "glass" wing and the nearer penalty area was invisible through the opaque window. We complained and were moved to the front row.

Absolutely - I had no option but to stand that day at Goodison. I did have a wall to lean on which helped but it also meant a lot of others had to stand behind me.
