Everton North end Liverpool South End


Utter nonsense, crap or silly imagination. No geographical divide in the city. There is a difference in the predominantly foreign content of the RS fans inevitable after years of European success.
I agree and disagree, there's not many match going Scouse RS North End or South End. Most RS aren't actually passionate supporters, they just chose RS because it's fashionable. At same time, I think it was during lockdown, they showed map of Everton season ticket holders and it was overwhelming local and especially North End. Whereas only 5000 RS season ticket holders had L postcodes.
 
One thing I've always wondered about is why Everton tend to have more fans North End of the city, yet areas like Garston, Halewood, Netherley and Speke tend to be infested with RS. Do anyone know historic reasons for why this is the case?


Not so my friend.

I grew up around Garston and Aigburth and there always seened to be more of us than them.
 

I grew up in Croxteth whìch is full of match going blues, I have lived in Dingle in the South End for over a decade and while there are more reds here there are still plenty of blues about and as usual most of them seem to go to the game while the reds are your typical 'cant get a ticket' merchants. I will be taking this 'south end' flag to our trip to the States for the pre season in the summer.

In my experience most of these types avoid actually going the game like the plague, if you offered them a ticket they would turn white as a ghost and come up with any excuse not to take it.

I don't disagree with your assessment, and our loyalty is the only thing we have over them. I have actually experienced that ticket-thing first hand a few times. I used to regularly have 2 tkts for a match at their place and would usually just pass them on to mates/relatives. Once, I had to offer them in several full pubs in Woolton to supposed reds before I got any takers. Fair enough it was all pretty much last minute, but needless to say, none of them were interested haha. The vast majority of (nominal ) reds have little or no match-going experience whatsoever nowadays, and very few young reds have ever been at all. I think a lot of the local ones packed in when they went mediocre in the 90s and it stopped being easy to get in. The growing number of out of towners moved in too.

However, the question was about comparative numbers of them to us. I think they've got over 70k on their season tkt waiting list and they stopped taking any more on it 15yrs ago and they've also got over 250k paid members. I also don't think that we have had a higher average attendance than them for 55yrs. When I was in school in the 70s, it seemed pretty much even (I went school in Speke and Everton). Unfortunately, nowadays I think we're well outnumbered in schools.

The Holy Land...... My grandad was St Pats (his family ran the Globe pub on Park Rd when it first opened).... he claimed to have never heard of Liverpudlians when growing up, they didn't exist.
 

Been going over and back to Liverpool for 35 odd years for matches. I would have said we definitely had the bigger presence in the City until the early 2000s. But divide has got bigger and bigger unfortunately. Lack of success and awful Chairmanship will do that.
