What does Everton FC mean to you

[JLW]

How much of your life is consumed by Everton?
Does your life revolve around us or do they fill a gap at the weekends?
Do you genuinely get upset when we get beat or are you a bit meh about it?


As I’ve got older the results don’t really effect me as much as they used to, the euphoria of winning and disappointment of losing fades very fast maybe because ive realised theirs more important things in life.

What sacrifices have you made to watch the blues?

It's a little scary to look back at ones life and see how much time, money and effort Everton has consumed,I actually think other than my own home I have combined probably spent more time at Goodison Park than anywhere else

Pain.

...a good gauge is the difference a win or loss makes to the next few days of your life.

Pain.

But pain you enjoy because we keep going back?

It's more the hope of less pain

Absolutely, it’s like a drug at times.

When I was younger it meant everything to me,basically life revolved around it,passing up the chance to move to the US,leaving jobs,missing dates,as I got older its taken a back seat to family,health,work,that could be more to do with falling out of love with the game,Everton will always be a part of my life but its down a list

You will no doubt get answers saying "they mean absolutely nothing to me, I can take them or leave them"
Please bare in mind that these answers are coming from people who are on an Everton forum in mid week outside of the football season. Truth is Everton means a lot to all of us . . . . . . . even the ones who currently hate them.

ExactlyThis.

So the blues stopped you from moving to the US? I hope we were boss at the time? That’s a big sacrifice.
