The club seem to deem it fine to use it as a slogan to say ‘we go the game’, why is that? It’s because they know Evertonians say that Liverpool fans don’t.

I don’t know where you’re from, but if you’re from the city, and went to school in the city, you’d likely have been in a minority of 3 or 4 Evertonians in the classroom. It’s likely all of them Evertonians would’ve went the match, meanwhile it’d be very rare for one of the Liverpool supporting kids to have gone. That’s what we would use to hit back at their taunts of us being crap. They’d never be there to see them be good anyway.

If someone has the financial means to go to the game and doesn’t go, how could anyone possibly think they’re on the same level as someone who has just forked out between £480-£750+ on a season ticket, or someone who pays £40+ every other week?

It’s easy enough to shut down a laptop screen and say ‘that was rubbish’. It inconvenienced the day for 90 minutes, it’s a bit different when you’re in the stands.

Im not sure about that. Im from edge hill. Over the years i have sat in every stand in the ground. Mainly upper bullens. And over the years i have got chatting to some blues and been amazed how far they have travelled. On a regular basis aswell. not every single game 6 or 7 trips to goodison has cost them what someone local would pay for a season ticket.
Quite frankly i admire them. Some of the dross we have served up. I would be home in 15 mins. They are out of pocket and 5 hours from home. Its very different to say a united or those over the park. There are no glory hunters making that trip to Everton. Always shook their hand at the end as i knew making that sort of trip they genuinely had a love for Everton.

More insightful? Unlikely. If you can get a stream you're far more likely to see a better view of the pitch, incidents, tactics. You get replays, infographics of stats. On the game you get real-time. That's it.

For me it's a six of one, half a dozen of the other situation. At home with television or a stream you get the focus with slow-motion replays and multiple angles.

While you don't get in your seat, you do get a wider view of the game as a whole (the focus isn't chosen for you) which can includes the extra nuances of a game.

For example, I've been the games so many times and then watched it on MOTD and the interpretation they put onto it, through selected highlights, is remarkable.

Still, you're totally correct that this whole idea of a being a better fan because of A or B is risible and ultimately disregards the real important aspect - interpretation.

I know someone, who I've been the game with for decades, whose perception of football is beyond farcical and wouldn't stand up to a challenge by a toddler.

Whereas, there's people on here from all around the world who may have never been to the game or a mere few fixtures, but clearly know about their football.

God, if you actually choose to watch and support Everton rather than being indoctrinated by your parents, like many of us were, then that's some good going!

Not sure about what? That’s a match-going fan. I would also applaud that.

That’s why I will gladly discuss/argue about football with someone who can make a point and back it up whether I agree or not, it’s the people, and there are a lot around who make no effort and just throw abuse about. They clearly have no idea about football.

I’d say I’m in the majority, and yes, I’d also say the match going fans are better Evertonians. After all, that’s why we skit Liverpool fans who never go to Anfield. The club also ran a slogan to that effect ‘We go the game’.

Some mitigating circumstances do apply, mostly financial, obviously.

So if what you're happy to accept as a supporter has a bearing on how successful you are as a club, how come we aren't Man City? We're the most miserable, hard to please fanbase in the division. Surely that makes the majority of us real Evertonians too by that logic?

It also depends what age you are, for people who started going in the Mike Walker days, the last 10 years has been very good. Older people who witnessed 70’s 80’s. it’s probably not so good now.

For me I was about 6/7 when we had a good time in the 80’s but probably too young to really appreciate it, then had to wait til 95 for a really good day with Everton. History means nothing to me, I never seen Dixie Dean, Kendall, Ball play etc, I only care about the time I am here. Winning a cup in 66 is meaningless when Leicester are winning a PL.
