and the mails take on it

Supporters of both sides will have been disappointed to see Everton's clash with Crystal Palace called off on Wednesday evening but one Blues fan in particular will have felt more upset than most.
Ric Wee, who has supported the Toffees for the last 30 years, had finally made the trip to Goodison Park and was excited to see Roberto Martinez's side play for the first time in his life.
However, having excitedly posted a picture of himself inside the stadium ahead of kick-off, the match was postponed on police advice because of damage to buildings close to the ground.
Awful luck: A Malaysian Everton fan made it to Goodison Park for the first time in 30 years, only for the Toffees' clash with Crystal Palace to be called off+1

The excited supporter posted on Twitter an hour before the game was scheduled to begin: 'Finally, 30 years since supporting Everton, will b watching EFC 'live' for 1st time.'
It seems Mr Wee wasn't the only Everton supporter making the pilgrimage - on Tuesday night the Everton supporters club of Malaysia, the 'Malaysian Toffees' posted: 'Malaysian Toffees Ridhwan Razak and Ric Wee watching Everton play Palace tomorrow. 1st time for both fans, watching EFC play at GP.'

Having heard the news of the postpoment, Mr Wee appeared in defiant mood that the weather wouldn't stop him from watching his beloved Blues one day.
Tweeting a picture of him match programme and ticket, he said: 'Sadly Everton v Palace match called off due to bad weather. Dream to watch EFC play will continue to be on hold.'

Superb, that. Twitter being used for something good for once also.

Cracking PR coup for the club ( and got ) overseas.

On the basis that he has saved for 30 years to get to a match, I guess not.

Shame.

would be nice if the club offered to keep him here until Sunday for the cup game.

Reckon they will. You dont wait 30 years then spend one day here would you? Really hope they do.

Correct. Not with all them millions of Romanian and Bulgarian fans who have been saving all that benefit money since New Year and clogging up Goodison Road.

changing direction here a bit.

I posted the GOT pic on a Tucson PL group on facebook, was mocked by a RS a bit (legit, he is from LP, moved here) ... someone else responded that one of our members was int eh same boat.

Had scraped and saved to fly to LP and see Everton play. Posted up a couple pics of himself with the Cactus Pricks scarf (FC Tucson supporters) at Strawberry Fields, Penny Lane...

Missed todays game, but wasn't as savvy as Wee, so might have gone amiss.

Anyone have any idea of someone he could reach out to at the club?

Send me a pm please if you do.

Judging from the pics on Twitter, he couldn't hold it all in; he looked full and ready to burst (with excitement)

Cactus P....s - sounds like a right good nickname for the RS - well definitely the P bit.. that half of the scarf ought to be seen in or around all things LFC.
