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

[Vaughan]

Was expecting far more than four wins, sums up how bad the prem is now you can be safe by late Feb winning that few at home. Needed nine home wins to stay up in 21/22.

Been disappointed how things have dipped at home under Moyes first two games being 3-0 up at half time. Of course it wasn't going to continue in that vein but does seem since the Man. United collapse from 2-0 he's been more safe in his approach, West Ham performance was no great shakes either.

Need to be playing and winning well the Ipswich and Southampton games.

united was frustrating, first half they were class and we ran them off the pitch, decent atmosphere too. i think if NDiaye wasn’t injured we might have ran out 3 or 4 nil

there form has had a decent upturn since too, could really do with them not winning europa or a move for brainthwaite is suddenly that bit more alluring

then we let them back in second half and the home performances have really dipped since

Not been much of a final season has it? Hopefully put on a bit of a show on for the final game but other than that it's been pretty damp hasn't it.

Anyone can get me a home ticket from now till the end of the season ? I'd appreciate it ! Thanks in advance

What do people want from the last game? I’m sure the club and media will force something on us which will be totally cringe-worthy?
Will it be McCartney? Will it be Liz McClarnon wailing through atomic kitten’s back catalogue? Will it be The Cult?

Will the Arteta money be finall uncovered? Will Djibril Sidebe’s missing sock be paraded? Will Stuart Barlow be unmasked as the phantom head-locker?

For me, it’s the fans day. The team just need to turn up and do a professional job, win and then f*** off.
I don’t understand why we had to have 6 of the ‘85 team yesterday? Has Degsy booked his 2 weeks in Benidorm and not available on the 18th? Would have preferred all of them on the pitch together at the last game.

You are thinking big in terms of entertainment. I was thinking of a Scot playing the bagpipes, which for no apparent reason was a thing several seasons back

They’ve won 2 of 7 games since, both against teams in the relegation zone. They haven’t had an upturn in form at all.

Hopefully in the coming weeks we'll start to hear what the plan is for the final day. It hasn't been the best season for football as stated in previous posts and I wonder if people are just ready to go after all these years? Anyone under 40 hasn't seen success at Goodison and that will be a huge number of season ticket holders. The older ones will be more emotional about it and I think the mood around the place is unfortunately about getting out of there and starting fresh. I feel sentimental about it and think about my first time walking up the steps and how it got me right there and then but I've seen more disappointment than I have joy throughout my time.

I don’t think it’s got anything to do with seeing success to be honest. Everybody I know is emotional about leaving Goodison - it’s nothing to do with the memories of winning big games and everything to do with the memories of spending time with friends and family and the routine of going to games over the years.

youre right, it should have been worse, bruno fernandes dragged them to avoiding games they should have lost i meant

if they end up fluking their way to winning the europa league i’d be worried about brainthwaite and possibly pickford going there

Are your programmes available to order online at all? I'd like to grab a couple for this before travelling up if I can to prevent having to drag them around all day and potentially ruining it.

Just been on to buy my Southampton ticket in the 1st members' window - feels surreal that it'll be my last time doing it for Goodison.

Not seen this mentioned anywhere but will there be a special commemorative retro kit worn on the day?

How did it look availability wise?

I didn't have 15 credits last season so don't how it compares to the priority 15+ window they've been using this season. I know people have been saying some seats were taken off even before 15+.

But currently would say most of the availability is in the Main Stand and TB. A few in Upper Gwladys and more sparingly dotted around Park End, the Bullens etc.
