Are there genuinely more scouse everton fans in liverpool than scouse liverpool fans ?

[counsillor cox]

The way our support has held up is 'phenomenal'. We had by far the bigger support everywhere in the City when I was at school (1957-1971) and as Chang Elephant just said, if we'd have had their success after that we'd have undoubtedly left Utd, never mind the RS, in our wake support-wise as well. The RS would by now probably be surviving on 25,000 gates.

A few posts in this thread suggest a 60:40 split in favour of the RS. That means they have 50% more supporters than us in the city. Now that is plainly wrong.

I cant wait for the day when we get a decent bit of success again and the away fans try and sing "where were you when you were s##t", we never went anywhere thanks

50/50 support. Actual match goers its probably 90/10 split to blues. And I'm trying to be unbiased.

It's got to be based on good solid Blues that just would not allow their offspring to defect, but little by little the weaker minded do. The club needs new owners and investment we can't keep pushing our luck.

I was born in Bristol and have lived in Birmingham, Plymouth, New Zealand and London. I have never lived in Liverpool.

Yet I support Everton. Not sure if this is relevant to the thread title - I'm a little bit pissed - but I'm a wool.... Deal with it.

Going the game about the same or just in are favour in the jobs in have had, but the have loads more of the rent a crowd lot same bells that show up to anything just to say i was there or am a fan beatles festivals, fooking giant spiders ,the queen , the Pope you know the type, in fairness my kopite mates hate them as much as we do

I'm happy in the fact that if someone tells you they're a blue, they're a blue...nobody else would put up with the nonsense we have and stake a claim on it like the masochists we are. But, if we ever go on a tear and win some things, that will change. And you can look over the park for that fact.

Growing up amongst the dogs in the desperate 70's I used to get depressed with how successful they were, when we apart from brief glimpses, were absolute dross. My da told me one day 'Lad, just ask one of them who was the manager before Shankly'. I never met one of them who knew! My definition of a supporter is somebody who buys into the whole deal. it's like marriage, you are going to have bad times, dull times, agony and dejection. But on those days or weeks when the chemistry functions, all the bad times are forgotten!

That is the glory of being a true fan, you know the history, you know the fine times that have been had and you know they will eventually return, if you only keep the faith! Many Kopites are like those sad, clap ridden ted's who still dress like a teen in their 40's , tell everyone at the clap clinic what a great time they are having, shagging everything that moves, then creeping bad to the dingy bedsit to eat pot noodle and weep!

The honest answer is I don't give a [Poor language removed] how many there are, they deserve pity at best, contempt at worst. For all their undoubted success and glory ( and make no mistake, for many years they were the best team in the world) I would not swap one losing visit to Wembley with my beloved Everton, to whom I was bonded at a very early age, (by a father who was bonded to them by his father in Dun Laoghaire) for all their five European trophies, or their league titles. Because when you are a clap ridden scumbag, the women you have been with count for nothing, you eyes are only on the next slag, so your history is irrelivant to you. We are faithful husbands, who love our club and cherish our successes. they are scabby beauts, and there are always more beauty than there are good people, it is the way of the world!

God, I'm drunk!!!

I'd say it probably favours them in terms of numbers but like many above have said how many of the Liverpool "supporters" go to the match or even have a decent understanding of their football team?
One Evertonian is worth 20 Liverpudlians. Never a truer word spoken

 

[loooweee]

Wasn't it Moyes who said that everywhere you went in Liverpool there seemed to be more people wearing Everton shirts ? Yes he was getting the fans onside I know, but still.

I always felt it was about 50-50.

Count yourselves lucky though as in Ireland us Blues are vastly outnumbered. It can be unbearable at times as they don't even hate us - that is reserved for Utd - but their condescending attitude stinks.

gets on my tits when they have these sky sport advertising 'biggest' derby of the season; liverpool v man utd, am I missing something there cos all I remember is gary neville kissing his badge and swearing at the kop some age ago...

 

[Pabbers]

Well in my work in sale, their are more Everton than Man City.

All but 1 of my scouse family are blue.

 

[BoysInBlue]

Yes, it's 95/5 in our favour.

Our average attendance is 38000 and theirs is 44000, yet city centre hotel bookings & taxi takings quadruple when they're at home compared to when we're at home.

Their support is largely out of town/tourists (they like to use the word 'global' because it's makes them feel big time), which is why they have very few local links to the city. There is no 'Liverpool in the Community', or 'Red Chrimbo'. There's no local fan initiatives. Their owners are foreign, the marketing department & club CEO is based in London. It's why they weren't arsed about knocking down all those houses around Anfield, destroying the local community. They're basically a franchise, they could be based anywhere in the country.

More actual blues than reds.

Probably more people, especially women, who don't even bother watching them on TV but claim to be Liverpool fans because of Istanbul.

 

[COYB]

they have alot more id say in Liverpol bieng honest like

but where the better team so it dosent matter.
glad im from bootle though its full of blues around here

I live in South Liverpool sort of where Wavertree, Mossley Hill and Allerton meet and you see more people in red - not by a great amount, but more in red.

Not suggesting these people go to Anfield though.

 

[Pienaar's gloves]

More to the point, I'd say there are more Liverpool fans, but more Everton supporters.
