Date Set For Southampton's Carabao Cup Trip To Everton
Wednesday, 4th Sep 2024 08:51

The draw for the 3rd round of the Carabao Cup was an absolute stitch up with home ties granted to clubs in Europe etc, Saints and Everton were not part of that and we travel to Goodison Park for what will be possibly our penultimate game at one of the last great historical stadiums left.

Goodison Park is of great historical interest for those that like iconic stands, two of them date back to the 1920'2/30's and even the main stand, one of the first of the modern day constructions is around 55 years old.

So even if you aren't an Everton supporter, you have to admit Goodison Park's closure will mark the end of an era.

Saints will travel there in the Carabao cup in September with the date having now been set for Tuesday 17th with a 7.45pm kick off.

We have taken an allocation of 1,834 tickets, although if there is an initial rush, we could be given more in the upper tier.

Tickets will go on sale in the following order:

Thursday 5th September: 9:30am - 2024/25 Season Ticket Holders who attended 3+ away matches across the 23/24 + 24/25 seasons.

Thursday 5th September: 11:30am - 2024/25 Season Ticket Holders who attended 2+ away matches across the 23/24 + 24/25 seasons.

Thursday 5th September: 1:30pm - 2024/25 Season Ticket Holders who attended 1+ away matches across the 23/24 + 24/25 seasons.

Friday 6th September: 9:30am - 2024/25 Season Ticket Holders

Friday 6th September: 11:30am – 2024/25 Saints Members

DellBoyWally added 14:19 - Sep 4 I remember my first game at Goodison; 1954 against Chelsea with my grandad, a lifelong blue! The biggest memory was the throwing of toffees into the crowd at half-time, when they were still owned by sweet-maker Barker & Dobson, thus the nickname! When the family returned home I insisted on being taken to the Dell and the lifelong stress began!!!

My first game at Goodison Park was Xmas 1974, I made the short trip on the bus from my Aunties house and watched them play Middlesbrough from the Gwladys Street end, they still had the Toffee lady throwing sweets, i remember the wall at the front of the terrace was about 5ft high, you could just about see above it.

My first Saints game there was in 78/79 season our first season back in the top flight and we drew 0-0

Knees-up Mother Brown #24 by wessex_exile

After another weekend break to spend a very enjoyable afternoon with Spireite Craig watching the U’s get a well-deserved point at runaway leader Mansfield Town, followed by promotion back to the EFL for Chesterfield, the matchday Saturdays left before the end of the season are running out. So, given I’m away again next Saturday again to join 9,000+ for the visit of Planet Hollywood, I’m going to slip in a Good Friday special ahead of what will undoubtedly be two extremely important fixtures in deciding the fate of Colchester United. On Monday the family are arriving for their traditional Easter Egg Hunt (and obligatory roast dinner), so here goes for the visit of t’other Exiles to the JobServe. Come on Col U!

Following a disappointing result at Holker Street, exacerbated by yet more poor refereeing to deny us a clear penalty in the first half and award a non-existent free-kick to give the Bluebirds a first half lead (albeit the free-kick was an absolute blinder), and the inevitable postponement of the Donny game on Tuesday, the U’s now find themselves in the relegation zone. It is what it is, and with seven of our remaining 11 games at home, our destiny is still very much in our own hands – but everyone has to do their job, both on and off the (repurposed) pitch.

Thanks to a combination of postponements and a trip to Sutton following the U’s, it has been three weeks since the last blog, as the U’s prepare to face a very tricky opponent in Barrow AFC. Since they were voted out of the football league in 1972 (arguably thanks to Ronnie Radford’s screamer against Newcastle in the Edgar Street mud), the Bluebirds spent 48 years in the non-league wilderness before their return following the Covid-19 curtailment to the 2019/20 season. Some are surprised at how well they’re doing this season, but probably shouldn’t be – under new manager Pete Wild they finished a very respectable 9th last season and are clearly aiming to improve on that this time around. Mind you, we’ve got our own new management team in place too, and whilst wins are proving elusive right now, we’re certainly making ourselves a team hard to beat.

Bill Shankly once said that form is temporary, class is permanent. He was of course correct, but let’s hope never more so than today’s visit to Wetherby Road to take on the form side of League 2, Harrogate Town. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to say the Sulfurites have defied the expectations of most pundits, many tipping them to be in another relegation scrap this season. But, long-standing manager (and former player) Simon Weaver has turned things around, and they currently sit just two places and two points outside the play-offs. Weaver was rightly awarded the Sky Bet League 2 Manager of the Month for January – hope he looks after it, because it’ll be Danny’s soon.

February, and the U’s enter the most pivotal month of the season. Six games in just four weeks, with four of them against sides also in the bottom six. By March we should be either well clear of danger, or even deeper in the sh*t. With Danny Cowley’s U’s still unbeaten, and looking stronger game on game, I’m sure it’ll be the former, but first we have to do our bit to consign Steve ‘Sour Grapes’ Cotterill’s FGR back to non-league. After our shambolic 5-0 defeat at New Lawn, nothing would give me greater pleasure, even if it meant losing one of my closest awaydays in the process. What’s the excuse going to be today Steve – shocking pitch, faking head injuries, Mexican banditry or some other bit of sour-grapery bullsh*t?
