Only three as I count and one on home turf?
I remember the days when you'd have a home friendly as a curtain-raiser and a few against the likes of Tranmere across the water, all good games to go to.
We seem to lack planning now.
ps: Whatever happened to testimonials? Leighton Baines, Tim Howard never granted one?

I'm not against them but the marketing and positioning would need to change to get buy-in.
There was a time when they were in place to raise money for players who had been loyal to the club and needed the money as, retiring at 32 (for example), they didn't have a lot else to look forward to.
In recent times, as well as being millionaires through their football careers, many go on to earn more through punditry and commentating in the media.
So the concept of the traditional testimonial lost its way.
I'd like to see it back even though you won't get that many one-club players anymore. Seamus Coleman would be one for us.
But donate the money to chosen charities or Everton in the Community as examples. Then I think you get buy-in.
Agree, we are lacking in pre-season right now. But it does seem to be a short one. I know it's not pre-season, but has Sydney been confirmed yet?

And I know I'll get into trouble, but I've priced up flights for Sydney. I'll build that one into a holiday.

Gerry #3, he'd certainly be dressed for the weather!

BTW, although I like Lampard, I think Ange Postecoglou would have been a great fit for Everton. Done an amazing job at Celtic.

All the $39 tickets went in a flash. I've ended up in the alcohol free area! Like Goodison, there are also restricted viewing seats so beware when booking.

Went to Tim's farewell game at the Accor Stadium last time in Oz, fantastic day me and my son wore our Everton tops and were made very welcome, would have been impossible to drink all the beers offered.

My wife and I had long planned a trip to Sydney and New Zealand during the World Cup break. Nice work by the club to arrange a game while we are ‘down under'.
