Storm Darragh may have postponed, to a later date, the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park but there is a great chance to watch a game at the famous old stadium this coming Wednesday (December 11th) at 7pm.
Everton's youngsters take on Nottingham Forest in the FA Youth Cup with tickets priced at £5 for adults and £3 for concessions.
Fair play to the Toffees and all the clubs who have played their third round matches at their main stadium. I had fancied watching the Sky Blues under-18's at Manchester United if that had been scheduled for Old Trafford but it was not to be.
At least that game, to be played at Leigh Sports Village, should still give some sense of occasion for the players and their families, unlike those fixtures that will take place at club training grounds which won't do much to differentiate the youth cup from a normal league match.
There are ties scheduled this coming week, weather permitting, at Carrow Road, Sincil Bank, Brunton Park, Loftus Road and Kenilworth Road.
Another home draw for Everton in Round 4 so hopefully another game at Goodison in the new year.
