According to the Everton website Wolfsburg are playing Everton the night before in Germany.
There is no mention of the Sligo match. I wonder is it an Everton x1.

Everton coming to knock airport on flight from germany the morning of the match- we have been promised a very strong everton team.
Everton have a lot of fans in this country so it should be a good seller.

If they keep tight on Jake Kelly Villarreal should be able to keep the score down.

I was just on there reading those comments a few minutes ago. Sums up what the league of Ireland is up against, there's no changing those attitudes.

On a sort of related note Seamus Coleman was singled out for praise after Everton's last friendly, he won a penalty and had an assist.

MIchael i have been to only one everton game and there is something more special about watching andy johnson score a winning goal in the last minute of a game against arsenal who have top class players rather than watching donegal celtic v larne in the irish league.......a very silly comment from you

Obviously googled 'Irish League' instead of 'League of Ireland' to make his point.

The interesting bit to me is that its an Everton XI

Coleman may be the only recognisable player

I knew it would be an Everton X1 .Sligo's website is misleading.It just mentions they are playing Everton.

Check Everton's fixture list on their website, they are down to play Sligo Rovers. No fixtures listed under Everton Reserves section so why would we advertise it as reserves? It's up to us how we market it and if it means getting a good crowd of barstooler Everton 'fans' in then I don't care how it's advertised. We'll get a big crowd down from Donegal alone with Seamie playing.

As long as you don't **** off any potential fans or sponsors for your own club that is.
14/07/2010, 3:20 PM

No,you dont advertise it as reserves,you advertise it as an EveryonX1, under' Sligo Friendly confirmed' on the Everton website it says an
Everton x1 will play Sligo.Their first team are playing Wolfsburg the previous night. I hope you get a good crowd
fot it but it is still a misleading add on your website!

In fairness Dodge I dont think it matters to the Bar stoolers that its Everton or Everton 11; they hear Everton and thats all they want, as proven by the crowd at the liverpool 11 last year.

Look I'm not trying to tell anyone how to sell anything but its a far, far easier sell if you can show that players people know are going to play. Even on thes forums Sligo fans have said said that Everton are "promising to send over a strong team" (mightn't be exact quote in fairness). Why mention it if it doesn' make a difference. It clearly does

You have to Market it as an Everton X1 otherwise people will feel ripped off.We have marketed our game versus Liverpoll X1 as just that and its still selling excellently.

Everton are flying in to Knock the morning after the Wolfsburg game. Full sqaud and all. Whether they play a full first team XI, I don't know. Everton have asked for no names to be mentioned player wise.

Confirmed in todays Sligo Champion, that Everton are bringing a full strength squad.
"This simply isnt a Everton XI or a reserve team, Everton are bringing a full squad .............."
14/07/2010, 11:02 PM
Charlie Darwin

Well they're bringing a full-strength squad but that doesn't have much bearing on what team they'll put out. Presumably they'll play whoever wasn't picked for the Wolfsburg game and presumably they'll want to test their top players against the former German champions. Could be wrong, mind.

Surely they'll be taking their own fans for just as much. Unless they enjoy being patronised by foreign teams.

Maybe their own fans will be coming out to support thier own side whilst also welcoming Seamie back to the Showgrounds and maybe they don't give a sh!te as to who Everton have in their side?
Imo, they will only taking barstoolers to the cleaners, fair played.

Jeez, I can't believe I defended Sligo Rovers, I feel dirty.

To be fair to the bluesh1te there is nowhere in the civilised (and uncivilised) world better for whining and moaning bitter vitriol than the outdated kip that is Goodison park (they could teach bohs how to moan :D).

And maybe the "barstoolers" (lots of whom will be genuine Everton fans) will come out to support their side for the exact same reasons.

But those visitors wouldn't be back in the Showgrounds for other games, regardless of which players appear for either team.

That's because they're Everton fans.

Athlone Town v Middlesbrough tonite should be a good one, Port Vale tomorrow then Villarreal saturday, hopefully these games can spark the local public into following the team on a regular basis!

Battery Rover

Athlone and Middlesborough finished 1-1 with the visitors leaving knowing they were given a right good game by our lads.

One thing to note from the game was the crowd of close to 1000 got right behind Athlone when they realised that we weren't there just to make up the numbers. Hopefully we will see a few back here for Port Vale and the game Friday night
