Apathetic Evertonians

[coollino]

Lots of people had been there since 12 mate, it was a very long day. Plus, people always disappear to grab a drink close to half time.

Why'd people get there at 12?

As a non season ticket holder - it was a privilege for me to be at the game today.

Loved every part of it, walking down to the ground, enjoyed a couple of pints, saw lots of friendly, smiling faces enjoying themselves - stadium looks incredible, was genuinely awe inspiring for me. I remember my dad taking me to Goodison as a 10 year old - and standing in the shadow of this new gorgeous home made me miss him more than ever

Then I get into the game. Mass exodus after 30 minutes, another exodus after 40 - most of the crowd coming back late for the second half.

And then the legends game. For which about 70% of the fanbase buggered off for. Not interested in seeing Baines and Pienaar? Yakubu? How about just soaking up a little bit more of the atmosphere in our glorious new stadium - in a game that didn't cost you anything extra to attend.

Fans not bothered about seeing Dewsbury Hall debut? Aznou and Barry playing?

Seems like a large portion of our fanbase is more arsed about hanging around a concessions stand rather than watching a football match.

Too cool to wear a football shirt
Too cool to watch 90 minutes
Too cool

I really dont understand why the legends game wasnt on first!!

Yeah, does seem a bit weird that so many fans obsessed with food and drink at the game.

Yeah. super bloos can surely multitask....

They could support emotionally and financially. Singing/booing and spending.

Why are we so binary?

 

[tellmema]

It’s like people who instantly ‘fall asleep’ on planes, buses, and the underground train no matter the time of day.

Jealous me, of these fellows..

 

[Moomin]

It's no wonder the players don't try if the fans can't be arsed.

It’s just so they could moan about the price after the game

Not really any of your business what plans people have is it mate? It's a friendly too.

So they could stage manage fans leaving as part of the final test

 

[Hinchcliffe's Corner]

Fans in their thousands who'd do anything for a ticket and they have to watch the lucky ones treat theirs with contempt. Poor showing.

Yeah I wondered that also. The only thing I could come up with was that they wanted the best possible pitch for the first team game?

Damn the poor connection in my work, that stopped me getting one for today and it was a killer ngl seeing all the pics and videos on socials all afternoon

Have you seen the size of the hot dogs. And if they were undercooked that might explain where the crowd went early doors. Someone has to keep the water treatment works in business...

Indeed.

High expectations. Remember getting shouted (pointed) at by Phil Neville that we weren't being animated enough when Everton got a corner.

He/Everton apparently needed us. I felt like a-pathetic evertonian.

However, I was sat in the neutral zone at craven cottage.

So, we were actually entitled to be apathetic.

Bit churlish and pathetic of Phil in hindsight.

It was a friendly ,never been one yet with an atmosphere.
It was a chance for people to have a nose about.
The football was dire, what to people want
It was full of family's and kids
The atmosphere was none existent.
But it will be OK when people settle in.

But Phil has won over a dozen major honours.

What have you won?
