Player Valuation: Free Transfer
Reading fans’ forums about the current state of Everton makes me really excited about my first visit to Goodison Park ever in my whole life this Saturday for the Wolves game. However, there is no turning back now, as the match tickets have been purchased, the flight has been booked and paid for, and the hotel is awaiting our arrival with open arms.
I expect the Z Cars moment before the game will make the whole trip worthwhile, so it’ll be an unforgettable experience no matter what happens on the pitch.
I am flying in from Denmark with a good mate (who is a Wolves supporter) to watch the game. We agreed years ago to do this as soon as Everton and Wolverhampton were in the same league again. Fortunately it’s the Premier League.
Seeing as the usual questions about which pubs to visit before and after the game (besides the Lisbon apparently…) have been discussed in the voting thread on best pubs, I would like to ask you if any of these pubs serve any sort of local brew? And do any of them like to play hard rock/heavy metal? Just to have something to go by when choosing.
Oh, and is England a cash country or a credit card country? In Denmark people don’t use cash that often any more, but I’ve heard they do almost everywhere else.
My background if anyone’s interested:
I’ve been an Everton fan since the middle of the 1980’s I think, when I was a small chap. Back then, Danish national telly broadcast one English first division match every Saturday afternoon during the season. It was great. I watched teams like Wolves and Watford and Ipswich running around in the midwinter mud kicking and rushing and tackling and stuff.
I really liked Gary Lineker, and Everton were of course completely ace back then. Maybe that’s why it all started. Lineker soon left Everton, but Everton never left me. Since the age of internet I’ve been following the club quite closely. And now I am coming over to experience the restricted view of Goodison. I have to. What if they end up moving, before I get there? Disastrous…
