| Divine intervention gets new kick-off time for FA Cup tie Everton and the BBC have bowed to divine intervention and changed the start time of an FA Cup tie to suit the local vicar. Everton's fifth-round home game with Crewe was due to take place on Sunday February 17 with a 1pm kick off. But club chaplain Reverend Harry Ross said it would clash with Sunday service at his church near Goodison Park so the start time has been put back to 1.30pm. The Everton fan, vicar at St Luke's, says he's delighted with the change to help his congregation go to church and get to the match if they want. He said: "I worship God first and Everton second. We have re-arranged our service time a little, and the club have moved the kick-off a little. It means that everyone can now leave church in safety and comfort." The BBC were more than happy to change their scheduling, and Everton spokesman Ian Ross said: "A little bit of divine intervention has taken place here, and everyone is now happy." 29th January 2002 |
