Goodison sleep out

[socistep]

Anyone else do it last night? Felt a privilege to be able to spend time overnight at Goodison with mates of mine whilst over 100k was raised

Kind of hard to take it at times that Goodison won't be there in the near future but I feel lucky to have got one of the tickets for last night

Have to say it was very well organised by EITC

….well done to all involved and all for good causes.

I took part, was the first time I have done it. While I was more than happy to raise some money and awareness for EITC, I really wanted to do it to experience Goodison in a different context.

Wow, Goodison looked and felt amazing. The grow lights on the pitch making it feel space age.

A great event, 400 people raising £100k and no doubt many of us learning some about the difficulties faced by people who don't have a home. The cold was one thing, but goodness knows the level of anxiety people feel when trying to sleep in our towns and cities when they are so vulnerable. It's criminal it's so commonplace today.

Well done to EITC for putting the event on, a big thanks to all the staff and volunteers for their work and supporting the event. And of course to anyone who gave their time and money.

The last few years have been a really difficult time to be an Evertonian, last night filled me with pride to be one. Hopefully better times are just around the corner.

Did it for the 2nd time, it was a fantastic experience. It is such an amazing and iconic stadium, its going to be missed. Took 12 hours of my time and to be part of a 400 strong group to raise over £100k is something Im proud of. Well done to all involved

First time I’d done it and it was some experience. Didnt sleep much, maybe 40 mins and woke up shivering at 6 am!

Oh and Andy Bush was lovely to be with us all night.

A wonderful memory you'll never forget,
A soon farewell to a stadium that you could call your second home. And the loving help, raising awareness for those without a first home.

Not just a club, but a family...

I did alright on the sleeping, better then I thought despite the cold and my mate snoring, probably 3-4 hours

Any oldies, like myself, remember queuing overnight for cup tickets in the Bullens road?

Some of the snoring was horrendous

Woman in front of us sounded like my dog
