The Mail Bag

Setanta Strikes Again...

I'm a Kirkby exile, now living in Chesterfield and working in Sheffield. I'm also a season ticket holder in the Top Balcony. Ideally for me, Goodison games are played on a Saturday with a 3pm kick off. Remember the fuss last season when the Chelsea game was brought forward to a Thursday night!

What this means to me is, I have to work 8 until 4 on the day of the game. I then get stuck in rush hour traffic in Huddersfield and then again in Manchester. Eventually, I park up near The Albany but I don't have time for a pint as I have to get a wiggle on to reach my seat in time for kick off. After the game, I do have a pint and head for home about 10:30 and get to bed about 1am.

It's so much more straightforward with a 3pm kick off on a Saturday!

So what? you say. The Chelsea game has been re-arranged to Monday, 22 December! That's what.

The people’s game is nowt but a media play thing. As for the People’s Club, well, who knows?

And what pray tell makes you think you have a right upset the Asian market with this crazy notion of 3pm kick off times?
The game has sold out... and just wait for the world league to come about to satisfy the billionare investors. ..
