'An Open Letter To Evertonians...'

 

 

25 August 2016 11:39

 

Sometimes we take Everton Football Club for granted, those of us who are lucky to work for the club and who regularly attend games at Goodison Park. 

How often do we stop to think just how fortunate we are to be able to do this or how widely spread Evertonians are across the world? Not often enough, I bet.

Throughout the 2016 close season, the ‘Grand Old Lady’ has been undergoing a re-vamp. At times it was difficult for everyone to carry on with ‘business as usual’ during this busy period, but we did. It meant the stadium tours were unavailable for a short while whilst the refurbishment work continued but Evertonians still came. They still do on a daily basis.

More than 400 Evertonians, from across the world, visited Goodison Park recently. Some first time visitors and some expatriates returning home for a short while. They were fortunate because we were able to let them have a brief view inside the ground. All of the visitors had one thing in common - their love for Everton Football Club and a wish to see inside the historic stadium. 

Incredibly, over a four-week period, those 400 visitors came from 35 different countries.  

Extraordinary!

 

Some visitors were actually reduced to tears by the emotion of their visit. Some could not control their excitement, whilst others stood in awe and quiet contemplation of the fact they were actually at Goodison Park, the home of the Blues.

One visitor from Scotland, not an Evertonian before he arrived, was so taken by his visit that he later emailed the Club to express his thanks. Thanks because he was able to learn about our wonderful club and take some photographs – some memories. This visitor has now vowed to follow Everton as his ‘English team’. Once Everton touches you……

Three generations of one family, visiting from Australia, were disappointed the stadium tour was not running when they arrived. However, we managed to let them into the ground to take some pictures and simply chat about the history of our Club. 

 

 

 

Granddad was able to sit in his late son’s Park End seat. His son was a season ticket holder several years ago until his untimely death. The visit was emotional but it was also a chance to reflect on happier times.

 

 

The family later tweeted their thanks to Everton, the Peoples’ Club, for letting them into the ground. More than 340 people ‘liked’ or ‘retweeted’ this message during the following 48 hours.

Amazing!

So, once in a while, take some time to think about how fortunate we are to be Evertonians, even during the difficult times. We are chosen. We are part of a worldwide family with Everton in our hearts, fortunate to be able to experience a game at Goodison Park, whilst others are watching on TV, somewhere in the world, in the middle of the night, wishing they could be there too.

100 visitors a week? Is that it? I bet those figures were exaggerated too.

[Thoth]

That's a joke letter surely.. Embarrassing

[Captain Turdseye]

Do you reckon Grandad shouted "BOOOO" when he sat in his lads seat?

[Guest Pistonbroke]

340 re tweets of a thank you message, amazing shit. 

[King Emlyn]

Neighbours drinking wine and beer in the street......as you do on a Tuesday night.

I saw the article posted on facebook by the most bitter blue I know.

The fact he is posting it without irony makes it even better.

Leas is more is a concept lost on Everton and Evertonians

[JagSquared]

"Once Everton touches you? Does that mean the Scottish fella was manufactured and not born?

[Tj hooker]

Stadium tours really just to see all those restricted views

And then they get touchy if you call them a small club.

[PestiRed]

I wonder if the are including Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish in that list of nationalities - probably Isle of Man too

[Beno]

It cheers me up coming on this thread every day to see what our noisy neighbours are up to.

 

Them last 2 'articles' are priceless.

 

Abandoned dogs, and people getting pissed on their doorstep on a Tuesday(or any) night are things to be proud of.

 

As is a whole 400 people visiting Goodison in the summer, 400. They are on the march.

[Harry Squatter]

A massive 24000 in attendance. They all go der game

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

Erm.....

Same fella that does this. I thought this was funny but that above takes the biscuit 

 

[Bjornebye]

Erm.....

 

https://youtu.be/YU7FdtzKVHA

 

I bet that pink post it note on the wall reads 'remember you hate the redshite' 

[Horus]

Erm.....

 

https://youtu.be/YU7FdtzKVHA

Next up, he'll be releasing another blue version of a redshite song: You'll Never Knuckle-drag Alone.

 

Maybe he could save up to buy a guitar tuner.

[Nelly-Szoboszlai]

The way he has to sing fieldsofGoodisonPark dead quick to fit it in cracks me up. Hilarious.

Yes, but some of them TWEETED!

 

And then some other people actually LIKED those TWEETS!

 

I'm surprised the press department couldn't squeeze another hash-tagged cliche in there, but it must be energy-sapping spinning a positive out of such undesirable facts as only 400 people turning up at Goodison over the close season.

[Harry Squatter]

Liverpool probably get 400 visitors a week
