Posts: 767October 2011 half promised my nephew id take him to his first football match for his Birthday, and said id take him to Goodison, only trouble is he's a Chelsea fan... i figured if i took him to see a proper club it might change his mind, but he asked if we could go see Everton V Chelsea in feb.
Not being a season ticket holder, im guessing its going to be hard to get tickets for such a match? am i gunna need to get myself to a few games before hand - i.e. do they give priority to anyone who'se been to a number of games this season already? -

well just make sure you've got a customer number ect and when your slot for whatever your category is ( so you may be in "general sale" or "two away games this season", or whatever you will be in at that time.) select your seats immediately like bang on 8am I think tahts when the eticketing opens.
Even for chelsea youll definately get at least two together when they go on general sale, so imo its not all too necessary to go out to three away games thinking it will make all the difference. all the very best seats may be gone but youve got half a chance of even getting two great seats together.
I hope the kid decides to support a team with passion and heritage over greed . Teach him right lad!

Posts: 767October 2011 cheers lads that's given me some optimism, though it wont hurt for me to get to a few games before then anyway! will try get tickets for the Man yoo game and then will be a good indicator of how ill find it trying to get Chelsea tickets!
Kids these days only interested in the barcelonas and chelseas and man citys buying up all the "greatest" players... hoping for one of those life changing moments for him where he realises his allegences are with the Toffees.... if not he's goin on ebay -
Posts: 530October 2011 If you sign up for an Evertonia membership (£20 per season) you get early access to the tickets, depending on what games you've been to in the current and past 2 seasons.

well if thats your concern then you've got to get him hooked early! seriously do what my family did. Before you take him get him all excited for weeks before the match. Tell him theres a toffee lady who chucks sweets out for free and don't stop going on about it! Tell him there's a big cuddly chang elephant as well lol.
perhaps also try and get excited about everton when you watch them on the tel eg recorded MOTD's, when everton score, show how happy it makes you and start cheering BUT involve him. keep saying stuff like "yesss!!! John" or whatever his name is lol seriously giving him attention and increasing a 'bond' with the kid may be more likely to support them. Hard to explain really! if he sees you being so happy he'll want to be a part of it as well.
also 'big up' the everton fans. Tell him how great it is to be part ofthe group. how good scousers are compared to cockneys,(if your outside of merseyside)and how its great fun to follow them in europe and away, . keep telling him that it's something special and something you were involved in. if you show that you are/were involved in it, he might want to be as a result.
also associate everton with treats. bit sneaky but it could work -like with the toffee lady. what youve gotta do is get him Mcdonalds, his favourite sweets, his favourite drink ect and spoil the kid rotten!
might get him hooked might noT!
may seem a bit ridiculous and over the top but they're my best suggestions!
