Goodbye To Goodison – Contributions by the Everton FC Heritage Society to the final few weeks at Goodison
The coverage of the final day at Goodison was full of nostalgia, great memories, tears and unbridled emotion. Photographs and video by broadcasters and fans alike were everywhere. We had our own members documenting the events, some of which was shared online on the day, while other media will go into the archive to be reused at a later date in future projects.
The Society experienced its busiest time so far in its existence. On matchdays, St Luke’s was packed out, with queues frequently forming on Goodison Road to get inside. We were flooded with enquiries, mainly from the media, usually requesting help concerning the history of Goodison, and as the frenzy increased, so did the number of invitations from the broadcasters to have an expert from the society appear on camera, on the radio, in podcasts or in print.
Fortunately, there is no shortage of experts in the Society, and numerous members helped out to meet the demand.
