Travelling fans rewarded with tickets to Lille
The Blues were cheered on by 500 Evertonians as they secured a valuable point from a tricky encounter in southern Russia and the dedication and support of the fans did not go unnoticed.
"We want to give these supporters a big thank you, Martinez said. "We found it really tough travelling to Krasnodar and it took us five hours flying back.
"We have heard stories of how the fans tried to get there - one spent nine hours on two flights and then got a train all the way around the Black Sea to Krasnodar.
"Their journeys were incredible and we want to say thank you to them."
Defender John Stones echoed his manager's sentiments, saying: "The fans were brilliant. To see them in the hotel before the game and see them cheering us on from the away end was massive. A big thanks to them.”
Full details of the offer and how to redeem the cost of the ticket after purchase can be found at evertonfc.com.

Equally I can sympathise with, firstly those travelling supporters, who must have thought, Â’ all this way for this performance Â’ pity the players did not match that commitment.
Secondly, it was bad enough for us watching on the the TV, and I think we were lucky to escape with the draw, I canÂ’t fathom RobertoÂ’s team selection and substitution timing too.
Vast improvement needed for Sunday.

Mostly taken for granted, that is good what Everton have done for their Loyal Supporters. It would be great if the club would do as Jeff, mentions, but a good gesture, nonetheless, to show the diehards how much they are appreciated!

There's thousands of Evertonians who cannot afford the time or money to go to these trips in Europe but otherwise would. The trouble with loyalty programs is it favours the richer supporter. I'd like to see at least a hundred away tickets being offered on a lottery basis to supporters who want to go and can afford the odd game but cannot go every week and build up those beloved loyalty points.

How about some sort of recognition for those fans booked on the club trip that got cancelled but ended up not going? I had booked on this trip, and by the time it was cancelled and I had checked other flights etc, I reckon it would have cost well over 𧿘 to go. Bit steep don't you think? Club could maybe knock ٣ off the Lille ticket. Or am I just being selfish???
