He missed the classic joke. Too quick to be offended and retaliate.

Everton's last ever game at Goodison v Southampton is to be live on Sky the week before the league ends. We were due to play the last game on the last day but the club appealed as we didn't want our last ever game to be lost among the last minute stories and results.
Word around the campfire is that the club have been granted a licence extension to serve ale and play music for two hours after the game and credible sources are saying that Paul McCartney a well known blue will be on the pitch at his piano singing us out with 'Hey Jude' Works for me .

I understand why they requested the change but I'm really surprised that the league actually agreed considering how greedy and inconsiderate they are.
Yes in the grand scheme of things it doen't mean much in football these days
as loads of clubs have changed their old antiquated grounds over the years, but for
the fans of whatever particular club there is a definite emotional attachment to the ground they've inhabited for a hundred years or so
For example I'd much rather travel to Upton Park than try to get back from the Labyrynth that is the London Stadium or whatever it's called but football as always has to move on to keep up with the money
Of course some clubs not only change grounds but move towns. Some 80 miles away. With the blessing of the FA.
We (HTAFC) moved virtually across the road in 1994.
It was nice that we could now purchase food and beer at half time.
Before, the only beverage at half time was a guy with a huge tea urn strapped to his back with pre-mashed tea in it.
It was disgusting and tepid and if you were at the back of the queue, the match had started again.
I remember one of those lads with the Tea Urn strapped to his back getting hit in the head by a shot from Bruce Rioch during the warm up. He was wriggling on his back and no fans could help him because of the railings.

Eee, but it were Yorkshire tea, which were reet good for yer, lad

The club never moved. They just got kicked out of the league and an unknown club planted in their place.
