Everton's last home postphoned game?
Comments (5)
Can anyone settle an argument as to when the last postphoned 1st team home fixture at Goodison Park was?
I think it may have been in the 2000-01 season against Leeds around Christmas time. My mate thinks it was against Liverpool more recently.

Yeah that?s the only game I can think of. It was quite a few years ago.
Heavy snow and frost in the days before. The police called it on the basis that the surrounding areas of Goodison were too unsafe because of ice on the paths and roads.
It had nothing to do with the pitch.

I remember the home game with Leeds being called off just after Christmas. The Liverpool match in question was an away game, 1996-97 I think, called off an hour before kick off due to a waterlogged pitch but Tranmere played ok at home the same afternoon!
PostPHONED? Is it a trick question relating to the postal strike last year. I.e. Postal mail was not getting delivered so communication was by phone wherever possible in lieu of post?
Turning to more current matters. Has anyone heard if there is truth in the rumour than AVDM is back in the side tonight as part of an attacking set up, with instructions to get to the byline as often as possible and ping in balls for Saha, Yak and Cahill to attack in the box?
If so, I think the 12/1 on the OS for Saha for 1st goal looks even better value. COYB...

All correct.
Liverpool vs Everton was postponed in season 96/97
Everton vs Leeds was postponed on 30th Dec 2000.
