Away or home, irrelevant this year.

Except the lockdown may be lifted before March 20th, just our luck.

I'd always prefer to play big teams in the 1/4 and semi than in the final itself and like a draw where two weaker teams play each other, so I'm quite happy with that draw.

Southampton, Leicester, Chelsea and City to go through.

Yes like Wigan

I know.

Ites a pain

Yes like Wigan

Exactly. I'd take Wigan in the final every single day of the week over the Chelsea team we played in the semi-final.

Easter at the very earliest.

Surely it won’t be full crowds though? I can only see 5K max,
if that by March.

The mid 80s Everton team was one of my all time favourite non-city teams. That team with Lineker, Heath, Trevor Steven, Peter Reid, Ratcliffe etc was excellent, beat the rags at Wembley in 1985 and were denied a shot at European Cup glory by you know who doing you know what.

I think most of us can imagine how we’d feel if our current team was cost its place in the Champions League by the actions of a bunch of knobhead rags

So true, Everything goes back to that day.... our future history and English football in general went backwards due to the idiots in Heysel. Why ban all other clubs for what one club did? It's a shame. It's hard to forget.

It would be good if there were fans there for both clubs... if it's 5,000 then maybe 4000 for Everton and 1000 for City, maybe the city fans can have the park end.

Everton were a big club when bankrolled and won trophies, the trouble is they still thought they were a big club when tagged onto shirt tails of the breakaway clubs to form the premier league, what did happen to your chairman after that jump ship with his bung ?
