After the high of the past week it was a poor game in the rain at Gillingham yesterday but a valuable point .

Everton tickets at £20 for adults and £10 for seniors and children will be ordered on Wednesday at 5pm to secure our best chance after season ticket holders. If ordering for the first time please quote your 14 digit teamcard number

I will not be ordering for the Branch again after this but as all LB members are Teamcard holders you can go direct to CUFC quoting your Teamcard number.

20+ members are travelling from Euston on the 1007 train . I will have tickets sent to me unless you don't think you will make the pre match meeting place which is the The Fly in the Loaf, 35 Hardman Street, Liverpool L1 9AS.

Raise a Glass of Vodka

For those of us who went to Poland last summer, we will all remember the fantastic hospitality we received from Dobbo's father in law's best friend Mr Kleemer. His generosity with the vodka in particular will never be forgotten. Unfortunately Mr Kleemer died this week. Please raise a glass (preferably vodka) in his honour.
