It was a cracking day (apart from the football as usual! ) - great to see so many families and young Toffees all excited to be at Goodison. Sadly, I overheard loads of them commenting about how they can't usually afford it and haven't been for years, which says a lot about the current state of football - and the future of it!
Good to see you too mate - hope you all had as much fun as you seemed to be having!
As a dad to 2 young girls, I find the switch to Goodison for the Derby a great idea. From pictures with the WSL trophy and free face painting in the fan zone, to the players taking selfies at the end of the game with all the young fans, it really felt like a great family day out (with some good football mixed in). Just £2 a kid ticket too
Even got a catch up chat with our own FAB representative before the game too !
