Correct. Singing's a by-product of good games, good performances and important matches. People stand more when it's tense and when we're doing well in an important game. Not for the sole purpose of creating an atmosphere. I think it allows for more singing and more noise, but without the spark provided on the pitch, there wouldn't be the increase in volume. Plenty of sets of fans stand for long periods at Goodison and elsewhere without singing, anyway.

Spot on.
I don't want to be like a f*cking Norwich or Sunderland fan who stands just for the sake of it
 
True. He really is a fraud. A blag hardman as they say, a real snide.

He is a blag hardman and he doesn't even want to be here. And when he's played he's been sh*te this year.

But back onto topic, we don't need to make such a big fuss over standing.
Whatever happens happens an we can't manufacture an atmosphere an tell everyone to stand, only half stood at Newcastle and the ones sitting were creating just as much noise as us standing.
 

But the ground regulations do, which you agree to obey when you buy the ticket. It's not hard to understand.

It does not say you cannot stand. It says 'persistantly' stand. I ensure that for one second during the match I sit, to therefore ensure it is not persistant. The wonders of interpretation of the vagueness of the English language.

I know that's an arsey answer Brennan, and I didn't mean it as a dig to your comments. It's a common argument used by the likes of the FSF on this matter when discussing it with clubs, looking at the issue as a whole.

As I say, I'm not one to stand and annoy sitters, I don't agree with standing away unless you can choose your seat to be with others who wish to stand.

I'm finishing work in a minute and need a wee. So will have to call it quits with you. Have a good evening mate.
 
Each team has the most loyal fans and those most loyal fans to have a place from which support the team! Our location is GW and I think it is normal there are only the most loyal fans of the team. Without sitting without people who only stay!

I've been through the Heitinga argument more than enough times to be honest haha.

But I think you're misunderstanding me. I don't try and make someone stand up, I just prefer if everyone stands. I was in the section that stood at Newcastle and we were the only ones that made noise unless the 'sitters' stood up for a few seconds to join in..

If you persisted in standing in front of me I would politely ask you to sit down.....If you took no notice I would probably dig you in the back of the head and put you down...simple really.



I wouldn't really..........but I would become very cross.
 

standing is not really the issue for me - what i miss is the vocal support of fans for Everton at every Goodison match - sitting , standing , lying down whatever - please just let the players and the officials hear that you are alive and there to support EVERTON
