Everton H Build Up

[Lee]

Early game on Sunday mate.

1:30 KO I think.

[dom9]

Ah - I should be able to catch that one then.

[dom9]

Although I expect you might be struggling that early with a massive hangover.

[Lee]

Well yeah, there is that.

Plus I'm playing a gig on Sunday so that'll probably result in me missing the game anyway.

THE Kop will display a giant message of thanks to Everton and their fans for their support over the Hillsborough Disaster.

A huge mosaic will be created on the world famous terrace before Sunday's derby in recognition of the part the Blues have played over 24 years in the campaign for justice for the 96 victims.

Only last month Everton chairman Bill Kenwright gave a moving address before the Kop at the annual memorial service for the victims.

And back in September, Goodison Park staged its own touching tribute, where the Hollies' classic song, 'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother', was played at the request of Kenwright
That gesture which was accompanied by two young child mascots holding hands and which brought tears to they eyes of many hardened supporters at the time, followed the release of breakthrough findings from the Hillsborough Independent Panel.

Before Sunday's 1.30pm kick off fans in the Kop will be asked to raise a card on their seats expressing Anfield's gratitude for Everton's unwavering support for almost a quarter of a century.

The idea came from award winning former Liverpool Echo journalist Brian Reade, who now writes for the Daily Mirror and still lives in the city.

LFC managing director Ian Ayre said: "I want to take the opportunity to thank Bill Kenwright and Everton fans for their continued support for the families and victims of the Hillsborough disaster.

"It is the coming together of the families, supporters and the city that has made the huge breakthroughs of the last 12 months possible.

"Rivalry on the pitch and banter on the terraces are healthy things and are an important part of being a football supporter in this city. They are an important part of the derby atmosphere.

"However, it is the unity of both clubs and both sets of supporters when it's most needed that make our relationship so unique."

In preparation for the mosaic, the club is asking for volunteers to help lay the 12,390 cards on the Kop seats on Saturday at 10.30am.

Nice gesture

[PTP]

proper nervous about this - I am with all derbies - but this one, given the way our season has been up and down, it'd be great to beat them and pip them to 6th

lose this though and my god will the knives be out and the blue****e will be going nuts.

massive game considering in the grand scheme of things it doesn't mean much

i spoke with an everton mate - he's convinced they'll do us, i said well if you do, fair enough, however it was only 12 months ago I was at wembley when we beat you in the semi and that meant more.....apparently it doesn't

[Pablo]

I'm extremely confident, which is worrying in itself as I'm usually wrong

[rodo]

hate derbies despise bluenoses will be murder in town afterwards they win we are ****e we win they will use how much we spend as an excuse same old same old really
