Blues Visit Rice Lane Supporters

Everton's supporters club tour continued on Thursday evening with a visit to the Rice Lane branch.

In attendance were chief executive Robert Elstone, legendary striker Graeme Sharp, head of ticketing Andy Ward, head of media and communications Mark Rowan and media and publications manager Darren Griffiths.

Over 50 supporters attended the event, which lasted over two hours.

All Club representatives answered a range of supporters' questions. High on the agenda were queries over the proposed Destination Kirby project, with Robert putting the Club's case forward and responding to fans' concerns.

Other topics included 2009/10 Season Ticket prices, which were announced earlier in the day, and the likelihood of an Everton store or ticket office being sited in Liverpool city centre.

On the football side of things, the injury to Mikel Arteta was discussed.

Robert said: "It was good to meet another group of supporters.

"We may not have seen eye-to-eye on all the subjects under discussion but it was certainly a positive experience."

The supporters club tour will be continuing throughout 2009, so look out for information on future visits.
