Thanks Lyndon as always for your report. I always look forward to reading them. I spotted a little typo at the end - 'unbreached' it should read not unbleached and I'm glad to say the goal was neither. Like a lot of us I have a lot of memories with my dad and my own kids of Goodison, of season tickets as a teenager up to season tickets as a new dad to the many visits from my exile in Sweden. My dad passed away last year and I'm sad we never get to go the new stadium together nor say farewell to Goodison - thankful that my dad who walked to Goodíson as a boy with his dad passed on the calling. And today I'm thankful for Moyes and the current team that end the long journey with a well deserved win and looking forward to going to the new stadium next season with my 10 year old who's never been to a game yet.

I thought the way we paraded the ex players on the hallowed turf was awful. I would have liked to have seen each players name called out and then that individual allowed to walk onto the pitch and then allowed to go around the stadium with a short interval for each player. I would have also liked to have seen more of them. There were some notable absentees and that was a great shame. For me I would have made this their day, front and centre. Tony Bellew and Gethin Jones were poor stand-ins for real presenters. The game itself was also a bit of a damp squib but when all is said and done I was once again impressed with our support both inside and outside the ground. They made the day for me. A sad day and a happy day but many tears were shed UTFT'S
Thanks for the report Lyndon

Thanks once again for the report Lyndon. The media coverage of yesterdays wonderful occasion has been universally positive. It was our day in the limelight, fully justifying the clubs request to host the last game on the penultimate weekend rather than risk having it overshadowed by other issues on the final day of the season.
The details of what went well and what went not so well are less important than the fact a major milestone in the clubs history has been achieved. Few will remember the details. It was a beautiful day, the supporters did themselves enormous credit, we won, we said goodbye and we left peacefully, if a little hung over.

Great report, Lyndon and great day all-around.
We need some skilled mif-fielders because Ndiaye needs to be placed up-top and left there.

Mark (3), do you not think maybe some/ many of the players wouldnt have welcomed a long, drawn out, called to cat-walk, sort of affair? These are team players dont forget and not all crave that spotlight feeling.
Bit harsh on Bellew and Jenkins. They are both pretty big ‘names with plenty of media exposure. Comparing something live is a particular skill however. Maybe that A-list host youd have preferred just doesnt exist?

Well, 2025 could be etched into the memories, of all Everton supporters.
A defining year, which started with uncertainty about our Premier League status.
The return of Moyes, who was not everyones Choice, but pulled off an amazing turnaround.
The move to our new Home Ground for the start of next Season, I hope will be very exciting indeed, especially with the addition of some much needed Talent.
