Final game at Goodison - confirmed Sunday 18 May, 12PM

Going to be an emotional one on Sunday.

Took my eldest before his brain surgery to Tottenham and he was on my shoulders for the N’Diaye goal, absolutely magic. He’s now been to the last two (recovered like a superhero) and hes coming on Sunday as well.

Almost twenty years now as a season ticket holder for me, close enough to thirty since I first went. I’ve seen some incredible days and nights in the old lady but that Tottenham goal will take some beating.

I dare say Sunday is going to blow it out the water, if anyone sees a mid thirties fella bawling his eyes out in the park end mind your business.
 

Without going into too many personal details, I'm dreading Sunday.

My dad took me to my first game against Wimbledon (yes, that game!!) and we've gone the match together ever since. Best mates and thick as thieves.

Unfortunately, in September, family drama happened and we haven't spoken since. I've tried to fix things several times with no joy. Every match this season has killed me. Driving to my mates alone, having a stranger in the seat next to me. I've dreaded every single match day. He text me to say he wouldn't be renewing at Bramley Moore, showing no hope for wanting to fix things. I've renewed his seat, I'm currently paying for 2 ST's, in the hope that one day it's resolved and he can visit BM.

But the thought of him not seeing the final game at Goodison has left me lost and upset for weeks. I've bought our seats (still fuming that we don't get the back, as it has our seat number on it).

Sorry, I've waffled on enough, just had to get this out somewhere. I'll be in the Park End with my head down most of the match (raising it up to boo).

One last time at Goodison, COYB!

I don’t know your circumstances or what has made you fall out, from the sounds of things you’ve tried to fix things. But why not try again, my grandad always said don’t let the sun go down on an argument because tomorrow you just never know.

I say this because me and my dad have gone the game together for 30 years, on Sunday we will attend Goodison one last time which I’m emotional about just writing it, but I wouldn’t want to be there with anyone else and maybe you can patch things up in time.

Fingers crossed for you pal, life’s to short to bear grudges with the ones you love!

This hit hard mate!

You have done brilliantly to cope and still with your Dad's interest at heart! I hope he comes round soon, life's too short and the memories you've shared are unbreakable.

Enjoy the day for what it is mate, a homage to what its given you and us all, including the bad bits.

I hope you walk down Everton Way at BMD together next year 💙


so many of us with these tales to tell

Tell him mate.

Tell him straight why its important that you are there together on Sunday. Tell him why it's eaten you up inside that he hasn't been there with you and it's absolutely killed you.

Tell him that you've been paying for the 2 season tickets in the hope there's a reconciliation because through everything, this is the one thing you have in common with him and the one thing you've always done together.

If he still can't reconsider his position (and I'm not going to pry and ask why) then you've done all you can mate and I can assure you the person sitting next to you, whoever that may be will still give you a hug if you need one cos they probably will do as well.

Genuinely mate, I hope you get it sorted because it's only right that you are both there together for the last match.

Hard read that mate, feel so sorry for you abs your old fella.

Keep working at reconciliation mate, as others have said, hopefully things will work out and you two can see the blues in our new home, plus you will always have your memories of Goodison together. I just hope you can make more together.

Life’s way too short.

Best of luck with everything mate, and if you see a 48 year old arlarse sobbing his eyes out in the top balcony, come say hello and give him a hug.
