Confirmed Carabao Cup 1st Round Draw. (Huddersfield - Goodison Park)

Confirmed Carabao Cup 1st Round Draw. (Huddersfield - Goodison Park)

Remember going to Goodison late sixties, Ernie Hannigan had signed for Coventry and were playing Everton.

North End were probably playing on the South coast and a few of us thought we would go and see how he was doing, we had seats in the big stand and it was like watching on TV.

Sad thing was he didn't play in the game.🤬
 
I went when we lost 2-0 in the FA Cup 4th round about 1998 or 9 when we were in League 1, think Campbell and Unsworth scored.

How strange, but a fair pragmatic decsion given our new pitch, etc.

May as well keep the Hudderfield fans in Goodison's away fan section as I can't see them bringing 3000 fans.

The Park Stand - the new modern looking stand - holds 5750 - are we realistically going to bring more than that for a 1st Round League Cup match?

I'd let PNE fans who can be arsed, go in the Park Stand and open up the other two stands for Evertonians who want a trip down memory lane.

May as well make some money on the back of this 🤣

Would North End not be given the Gwladys Street End being the home team in the Cup tie and Huddersfield then allocated The Park Stand.
Doubt there would be any need to.open any other of the stands.

I was there with my Dad and my eldest son who was only a boy at the time. My son was pictured in the Evening Post next day looking very sad at the end of the game, he’s 35 now🤣.

I know the Gwladys is the big home end, but the other (much newer) end has no supporting pillars in the way. We'll probably all be disappointed and get half the main stand each, which is likely all we'll actually need.
It might all depend which stand(s) have been looked after in the days of much smaller attendances for the women's team (5k average).
 
I went there in the sixties when Everton were playing Liverpool. Ian St John the only player I remember. When we parked the car a young lad wielding a big stick with a nail stuck in it. “ “look after your car mister “ he said to the driver.
