• I agree with most of what is said in the article and Michael and Mike's comments. Living down in the south of England I get to see very few live games these days for various reasons but can fully understand our home and away match going supporters frustrations etc. However, it's easy to focus on match-going fans who it's fair to say after the life blood of the club but not everyone has the option to attend regularly. Ticket prices, distance, work, or family commitments mean many supporters rely on TV to follow their club. More live games simply make football more accessible to those people. For some, evening or varied kick off times are actually more convenient than a fixed Saturday afternoon slot. There’s also a sense that the game has outgrown its local roots and now serves a global audience. That doesn’t remove the issues for regular attendees, but it does show that not all fans are losing out in the same way. Perhaps not a popular view, just an alternative. For the record...

• Gone are the days of going to the box office and picking up tickets for the next match and being asked where you want to sit. With the ballot you can’t (as far as I know) order more than one ticket so can’t take my son/s or get one for a friend/s to go and what’s the guarantee of getting said ticket. A few friends who are STH say there’s always seats available but they could be those who are ill or have prior engagements they couldn’t get out of. I know we have to move on but tech isn’t that good to keep fans away who can only make the occasional matches due to other commitments 🤷...

• I’d just like to post a short word of welcome to Calum, who is the latest addition to our cadre of freelance writers at ToffeeWeb. I’ll let Calum tell us more about himself as he sees fit in the discussion of this important topic, which he and many Everton fans feel increasingly annoyed about.It’s something that has been picked up by the Everton Fan Advisory Board, who voiced a strongly worded statement condemning the footballing authorities for their clear disregard of fans’ wishes at the end of March, when the change to this weekend’s Manchester City fixture was announced.That prompted an earlier discussion of these issues here on ToffeeWeb, and clearly it’s an ongoing concern that is not going away anytime soon. And if we were to somehow qualify for European football next season (kinda impossible at this point, I suspect), it would only get worse for Everton, with a lot more fixtures rescheduled away from the traditional...

• A genuine story Eric, is that my brother walked out of the stadium at half time against Burnley, a few weeks ago, (and this was one of the more enjoyable games for some fans) and when I saw him a few days later, I was laughing and saying to him that he had jumped the gun because things improved during the second half.rnrnHe just said he was getting really wound up watching that boring shite and he definitely wasn’t alone, because he reckoned there was quite a few others who did exactly the same thing.rnrnWe are playing Man City tomorrow night. It’s a huge game but I just can’t garner enough excitement, if I’m being totally honest, and will probably just watch the game on TV....
