Oh mate I did the same, I waltzed up to Goodison around 12.30pm and didn't think anything of it not getting a ticket. Street end it was just rammed outside and then rumours had it there were a few tickets left Main Stand side. Got that side and nothing
Those house behind the park End, people were knocking on those doors to watch from the bedroom. Me mate said come on let's go home told him to koff and leave me alone and that's where intended up in Stanley park and in a tree.
Even the build up from thinking it would be sound to get in to not getting in to even finding a tree safe enough was stress[/remember all week asking my dad if we could go the match, all week he was adamant” id rather be anywhere else in the world than there on saturday”. Come saturday morning id just finished my match on the old moss lane in litherland and he told me to get a bath and get ready. Said to him where are we going? He replied” where else could we be today. We got ready managed to get hold of one ticket in the main stand and double clicked me in on it. The rest is history. Sounds like a lot had the exact mind set and change of heart he did that day because all week everton were advertising tickets and couldnt give them away. Come 12 o clock on the saturday they were like goldust.
