Cannot see the game going ahead this weekend.

Confirmation that the Tottenham v Everton game is off. They won't hand back Tottenham high-road until Friday evening and that's not enough time to get a safety certificate.

All 9 other Premier League games look like going ahead at this stage.

Anyway does anyone need an new phone or new runners while I am over there ?;):p

Where did you hear this?

I heard it a short while ago from someone within the club - it's actually Monday night I'm told, with a 7.45 kick-off. Full Everton squad.

Jodi Stand (main stand) - Adult €15, Student €7, u-12 €7
Des Kelly Stand (shed end, behind the goal) - Adult €10, u-12 €5

AGC

Yeah Monday 7.45 and an Everton 1st team, not like the kids they sent over before

Hopefully it goes ahead

The Volt

Great stuff!

BOHtox

Yeah just to reiterate. Everton will be sending a strong team over to Dalymount this monday. I will have more info if there is any but I reckon the ticket prices will be the aformentioned ones.
Welcome to the home of Irish football!

Edit: yes as BO said they are the ticket prices.
Jodi Stand (main stand) - Adult €15, Student €7, u-12 €7
Des Kelly Stand (shed end, behind the goal) - Adult €10, u-12 €5

Woohoo

Dalymount is where I first watched Everton back in '96, so to see them there again is great.

Do us a favour and click 'attend' please!

Everton were talking to Newcastle about Joey Barton again today. I posted months ago in the 2010/2011 thread that you were interested, and a few weeks ago that he had met Moyes. Everton are very interested, but his wages are the problem. I still think something could happen soon!

Columbia

I'd be happy if we got Barton.

He's coming here for free, if it really doesn't work out then we can sell him for a couple of million next summer, and recoup any wages paid. Pretty similar to the Lucas Neill deal in some regards.

eh i dunno

Any chance that our marketing idiots bring a shed load of merchandise with them because i wanna buy the home kit?

The Volt

A few things happened this weekend. We lost one of our scouts to Chelsea, the guy who found Coleman for us. I suppose it's nonsense paying for scouts when we can't afford anyone anyway!

Also, Vicente has been linked strongly. Watch this space I suppose :pac:

I'm excited about the game in Dalyer tomorrow

Nowso

I got 2 tickets for the Jodi stand which is covered and im right on the halfway line. Cant wait. Hoping for a decent game

The Shed does have a roof over half the stand. The Jodi is where you want to be. Sit down the back and close to the halfway line.
AFAIK, fans can buy tickets for anywhere in the ground.

A few prices you may need to know:
Curry chips, battered sausage + drink = €8 in the Leo Burdocks in the stadium.
Programmes usually cost €4 but when we played Liverpool ( or scum to you) we sold the programme rights and it was published by an independant publisher so they could get the benifet of economies of scale.

There's also a cheap Bar in the Jodi stand (three to be precise) arrive early and get a few pre-match scoops into you!
Enjoy the game.

Love it
Any idea what sort of crowd is expected?

Knew you'd like it. I think Bohs expect it to nearly full out. Capacity is reduced to 4,200. So I expect at least 3,500. But depending on the weather on the day, it could sell out.

ciaran76

I think seat nos dont really work at Dalymount. Not from my experience anyway.

eh i dunno

14th with a game in hand lads...best start in years :pac:
Is Moyes gonna give us the silent treatment all season??

Mont

Havnt got tickets yet but thinking of goin to the game tomorrow night can you just turn up on the night?

Yes, any unsold tickets will be sold on the night.

Nowso

the last time they played everton fans were mainly in the uncovered area,

the chipper on that side didnt do chips or there were no programmes so had to persuade the guy on the gate to let us in to the jodi area to get a bag of chips and a programme

I was at that game, in that stand and got a programme. Can't remember how I managed that.

Looking forward to tonight. Haven't seen the Blues playing in a few years.

smokingman

Any idea when the teamsheet for tonight is announced?
Curious to see if there are any changes to formation since the end of last season.

The uncovered stand has since been closed down. I suggest you get tickets for the Jodi stand if possible but you will definitely have cover.

Columbia

Went and got tickets yesterday. They have seat numbers printed on them, but also say "unreserved seating" at the bottom. So sit anywhere or not? :eek:

Sit anywhere.

1,500( slightly over 100 gaurenteed covered seating) tickets left. Get there tonight and you'll be able to get a ticket.

eh i dunno

Anyone go to the match tonight? Could be a long season :mad:

The Volt

Yeah was there myself.

Positives:

- Barkley looked bright, always wanting the ball
- Beckford, Osman and Arteta looked sharp

Negatives:

- Fellaini was all over the shop. He couldn't pass wind tonight
- Garbutt was solid in the first half but on three or four occasions this evening he was caught way out of position for diagonal long balls. One led to a goal, another should have.
- We're very stuck up front unless Beckford has a flyer. Velios missed a hattrick of sitters in the second half and Anichebe still isn't up to much.
- Rodwell did nothing of note in a game he should have bossed.
- No Jagielka at all. Is this a sign?

eh i dunno

- Beckford, Osman and Arteta looked sharp. Beckford was quiet except for his goal. Osman injected some energy into the game and Arteta showed some nice touches

Negatives:

- Fellaini was all over the shop. He couldn't pass wind tonight. I would sell for 20m if we could get it
- Garbutt was solid in the first half but on three or four occasions this evening he was caught way out of position for diagonal long balls. One led to a goal, another should have. Didnt too bad but just hope Baines stays fit
- We're very stuck up front unless Beckford has a flyer. Velios missed a hattrick of sitters in the second half and Anichebe still isn't up to much. Wrap Saha in cotton wool cus Becks needs alot of chances and Victor aint good enough.
- Rodwell did nothing of note in a game he should have bossed. Have to agree with you there. Very poor. No wonder noone bid for him
- No Jagielka at all. Is this a sign? No Baines/Cahill or Saha either. Maybe just rested

Roll on QPR and hopefully an improvement

Vellios did okay for me. Yes, he should have scored a couple, but he gave us a lot more shape going forward than Beckford did. We started to look dangerous the moment he came on, whereas Beckford scored a goal and promptly disappeared from the game.

Fellaini was horrible tonight. Judging by his tan and ginger-ed hair he's been somewhere nice and warm all summer, so the Irish weather tonight wouldn't have made him happy

Barkley was great, even Arteta was deferring to him. He should play against QPR, there is no doubt about it.

Mustafi looked solid too. Garbutt ragged. Hibbert stopped everything coming down their left, and got himself forward on occasion.

I think they were mostly concerned about getting injuries, there was a whole heap of pulling out of tackles.

ciaran76

What about Anichebe's shot in the 1st half !!!!! Can only remember the ball going over the shed end about once before in my years going there.
