Everton's 1978-79 Season: A Tale of Triumphs and Attendance Woes
An Opening Victory to Remember
The 1978-79 season began on a high note for Everton Football Club. On 29 April 1978, the Toffees welcomed Chelsea to Goodison Park for their opening match. The match proved to be a thrilling affair, with Everton emerging victorious thanks to a stunning goal from Andy King.
A Difficult End to the Season
Despite the promising start, Everton's season took a downturn as it progressed. The team struggled to maintain their form and suffered a record-low home attendance of 10,682 against Derby County on 18 November 1978. The average home league attendance for the season was also disappointingly low.
Despite these challenges, Everton managed to finish the season in a respectable position. The team's performance on the opening day of the season served as a reminder of their potential, and they will undoubtedly be looking to build on that performance in the seasons to come.
