Everton vs Aston Villa pre-match thread

[VillaTim]

Everton are probably the club most like us historically. That said they seem to have a chip on their shoulder about us, or certainly their online support do. Most i've met in real life have been decent sorts.

Nope. None of the ones i know do

[dave.woodhall]

The normal ones are ideally fine but they've got a weird online element that seems to think they're some sort of legendary historical figure with the fashion sense of a Milanese supermodel.

Goodison is a proper ground. Shame this will be the final time we play there

It's a shithole.
Trying to watch the game for about 25% of away fans is rubbish.
One of the few grounds that has hundreds of RV seats!

And a few seasons ago I felt the need to report one of their stewards for verbally abusing a female Villa fan and her 7 year old son.
Never done that before.

Tbf they got back to me to say that the guy had been asked to leave.

Would you prefer a soulless bowl like The London Stadium or The Tottenham one

Somewhere I can see the pitch is a good start.

It'll never catch on that.

Because those are the only alternatives to a ground where you can't see the pitch from hundreds of the seats?

Righto.

[VillaTim]

I've never had a problem there , granted last time I was in the home end Gladys Road Upper , cracking view of Buendia's header

It's a dreadful stadium, ceratinly not a patch on Villa Park. The season ticket holder I know can't wait to move. The new stadium looks pretty good.

Goodison was a great ground in the 80s when I was living up there but it's very outdated now.

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

It's one of the few grounds where fans regularly and consistently complain about the view.
At the back of the Lower you have to bend down to see 3/4 of the pitch...but you do get £2 off your ticket price.
At the back of the Upper, same.
And there's pillars.
Front of the Upper is best....but limited, obviously.

Had some brilliant away days there , Sir Grahams last hoorah (3-3) and that 3-2 win the Ashley Young goal

[frankmosswasmyuncle]

The Ashley Young winner was so special wasn't it?
Incredible last few minutes!
Joleon who? ;-)

Unbelievable stuff. Had tears in my eyes for Sir Grahams last game , the away end was unbelievable that day didn't stop singing from half time onwards . We was upstairs behind the goal that day , the away end used to be there .
