I am busy updating’ mee missin groond reports from mee archive list and one of those missin woz mee first ever visit to Goodison Park 53 years ago in 1971
Az this Saturday could well be wor last ever visit to Goodison Park, a now relic of the 20th century! (see the above date on the Bullens Road Stand plaque from 98 years ago!)
When aa first visited Goodison aall those years ago it woz considered one the best stadiums in Britain and they had just built a triple decker stand which looked fantastic at the time!—How times change!
They move to their brand new stadium by the river Mersey next season and unless we draw them in the FA Cup away, this will be wor last ever visit to ‘The Grand Old Lady’ (Wonder if they’ll name their new abode ‘The Brand New Lady’?)
NUFC aalso won wor first ever FA Cup here in 1910 in a 2-0 final replay win ower Barnsley! 🏆
A bit sad really, but the times they are a’changin!
Mee match report from 1971 will appear below this article very soon!
