📣COACH WELCOME - 3:25pm📣 Saturday’s coach greeting v Chelsea is a trial run, as it will be the first time we are testing this setup. The route the coach will take is quite restricted. It will travel down Walter Street, turn right onto Regent Road, and then proceed into Nelson Dock. The route is very similar to the one we took at Goodison down City Road, onto Goodison Road 🔵⚪️The coach is expected to arrive at approximately 3:25pm.🔵⚪️ We are encouraging all fans who wish to attend to line Regent Road - where this is marked blue on the map - ensuring there is sufficient space for the coach to pass through safely (please refer to the attached map). As this is a trial, your cooperation and support are greatly appreciated and will help shape any future coach greetings. Please note that the club will be hosting a welcome event on the plaza, with further details from the club to be announced later this evening. UP THE TOFFEES

Interesting that in the Everton points deduction verdict the Premier League said “A financial penalty for a club that enjoys the support of a wealthy owner is not a sufficient penalty” and that “the requirements of deterrence, vindication of compliant clubs, and the protection of the integrity of the sport demand a sporting sanction in the form of a points deduction’. Presumably the Chelsea fine (which ultimately is just a deduction from what billion dollar Clearlake will pay to billionaire Abramovich from the £150m held back at the deal date) is then neither punishment, a deterrent or protecting the integrity of the sport? If I was an Everton or Forest fan would not be happy with this outcome.
