The fans

[Goat]

I wouldn't judge our support at Anfield due to fact we always lose, I don't want us to be like some clubs to sing for sake of it. But at same time I think our fans could get behind team more in some games. I also think club play a part in reducing atmosphere. Before derby game that we won, other than playing Spirit of Blues, you didn't have loud music or announcer shouting over fans. Before last derby at GP, same with Semi Final against Chelsea, club just blasted music and you had Rossy deafening people over tannoy. I'd like club to play Spirit of Blues when we are on field, because I think it would help fans get in mood for game.

This is the crux for me, if you ignore the racism, sexism and every other ism I see on a matchday, even the excessive cocaine use and the fact that a lot of people think they need to be 10 pints down to go and watch Everton.

The lack of support is huge, we only sing when we are winning goes the song, but most of the time we dont even then.

Its like the fanbase is scared to support the team cos thats kopite behaviour lad.

Every football ground across the country is the same on a match day.

Silly humour, my bad..

Fair enough no problem.

One of the reasons I stopped going to games was down to a father and son duo sat in front of me at GP (this was years ago) shouting racial obscenities at an opposition player, myself and another guy were trying too tell this steward who just kept telling us to sit down and stay quiet. I wanted to chin him as much as I did the other two, walked in the end and have never been back to GP again. I will support EFC till the day I die, its in my blood but I'm not a huge fan of our fanbase tbh and I will freely admit that, and its for many of the reasons you list above.

Sorry, where are my manners…

CRUSH

@PercyPlant think this is for you mate

 

[Jimishorts]

I mean we're bad but while you've got Leeds, West Ham and the RS in the league, we're far from the worst.

 

[Rita_Poon]

Bang average. We are terrified of doing anything to go above and beyond to show support on a match day for one. Some mythical "Kopite behaviour that" mentality. Always said it, will never change. MILES behind teams in Europe, Glasgow etc and absolutely run of the mill in English terms.

Someone will be right with you...

Every fanbase is the same really.

Ours have leaned too much into the conspiracies since the points deduction and it is tiring hearing about the stinky six all the time.

We’d be loving it if we were part of that.

Whilst the conspiracy theories do get boring I'm really not sure if I would want us to be part of the 6.
It all seems so false and I don't think I would enjoy winning knowing we were getting the benefit of unfair advantages. I never want the Sky muppet commentators wanting us to win.

Feels like we’re making strides here. Only by having the perception that we’re utterly rotten can we reset and build again, free from the shackles of lies we’ve told ourselves that hold us back. Those telling the lies become pariahs and their spell is broken on the decent fans who in turn build an air of authenticity and patience which allows the club to build something tangible, something oood.

Genuinely don’t know how my thumbs type this absolute pish, jus in me.

 

[chicoazul]

Also GOT, you’re getting better. These threads used to cause ruptions. Well done all.

If we got there under Usmanov it would have been just as unfair.

We’ve probably been the most corrupt club in the league over the last decade outside of City. We were just terrible at it.

And let’s not forget our role in creating the premier league by threatening to walk away in the 90s.

We’re not part of the six through anything other than our own incompetence.

I’m on the Everton spectrum somewhere between;

‘All Everton players should wear rainbow laces & sleep out at BMD once a week’
to
‘unless you’re Alan Ball you’re not fit to wear the shirt’

And this varies, depending how early Moysey makes the subs during a match.

I thought it was possible to set your watch by his first in game subs being made on 60 minutes?

I don't know exactly when change happened, but in past our fans went to watch us and support Everton. Since around 2016 a lot of our fans are more interested in having a bevy, I don't know why they just don't watch game in pub, if that's all they're interested in. Don't get my wrong I've gone on ale after game, but never been pissed in ground. I had a season ticket in Lower Gwladys in 2000s to 2010s, you didn't have loads of coke edz. However it's rampant now, you d have odd person at away games taking it, however it's rampant now, with people openly doing it. It seems we have attracted this new breed of supporters who consider themselves "super bloos" who have no interest in supporting team or even watching match. They just stand there with arms folded, talking about coke, birds or saying "yes lad" or "yes bro" every 5 seconds. To them supporting team is Kopite behaviour. They then spend 10 minutes debating whether they're going for a pint at half time and don't appear back to 60th minute. Add to that, they're tactics nonces, they seem to think everyone wants to hear them giving their opinions and running commentary on match.
