Foreign Fans

[Turfman]

From Canada, 5 hour time difference, erratic TV coverage, (but it is getting better), but I can be sure that I will be the lone Everton supporter at the only pub open that time of day.
As far as getting to Goodison someday I tell my son I am going to spend some of his inheritance to check that item off the bucket list.

Well yeah, if anyone ever wants to accuse me of being a glory hunter, I'll simply reply with two words, "Walter, Smith"

And if I happen to be holding a microphone at the time I'll make a show of dropping it before striding off

Thought those two words would be "Duffy, Shane"

Much love for our foreign fans. It's not as if Everton gives them much to boast about or any reflected glory so the big bunch of weirdo sadists get the Everton thing as much as I think anyone can. I bump into you in weird places and you always know your Everton, is right. You make me proud to be a blue.

If we start winning stuff and your compatriots turn up on the wagon I'll hunt them mercilessly though.

The struggle makes success so much sweeter.

Unfortunately some support other clubs.

Supporting the club from the US wasn't too bad, we had a couple Blues in Tucson, including an actual Scouse transplant. (We also have a red, half his family is blue, so he talks smack but is a good guy) ...

Been in Paraguay almost three years now, harder to actively support as we get La Liga, Bundesliga, some Serie A, Ligue UNnnnnnnnnnn, as well as Brazilian, Argentine and Paraguayan matches on tv, and both Copa Sudamerica & Liberadores, but no Prem. (We did get some fo the Cup matches that apparently you couldn't back in Ingerland, oddly enough.)

I can say Everton is the catalyst for most of the good things that have happened to me here.

Sure, collapses and defeats have left me deflated, pissed off or worse, but the only other Evertonian down here (well, his son makes 3) is a beer importer and introduced me to all the brewers that are now my best friends down here.

So the Blues bring on the heart break, but have helped pave the way to get the beer needed to drown my sorrows.

Never was another option for me and that goes to show you really are born a Blue. There's the obvious reasons this club drew my attention like the Americans who have played for us, but it was so much more than that. Donovan may have played for Everton but I also knew him as the fivehead who scored on Seattle several times. Howard may have played for Everton but he now plays for Colorado. I've only loved the club more since each of them have left.

I get the occasional feeling of judgment on here for being from the US but I like to think that's mainly because we are an actual laughing stock of the world right now. I say we deserve that.

Like it's been said several times on this thread already, obviously there's something wrong with you mentally if you choose Everton and have free reign to support whichever club you'd like as you have no ties geographically to the UK whatsoever. Born, not manufactured. I AM a glory hunter, but it's only because I want this club to have the glory it deserves.

Went to my first Everton match at Goodison on Sunday and wow was it a treat. Match day was everything I'd hoped it would be. The weather was a little bit dreary, got some chips and gravy pre match from the blue dragon, did a lap of the ground to check it out. I find it amazing that a 40000 seat stadium is land locked by houses. I went in about an hour and a half early to soak it all in. Now I understand about the crappy wooden chairs and I feel I can understand the need for a new stadium much better now.

Iv never felt an atmosphere like it how tense it was just amazing my heart rate was up the whole first half! Had scouses yelling in my ear "well in jags!" Seemed a favourite. To see 3 first half goals at the end I was sitting with a perfect view of Ross' cross to Rom. Couldn't have asked for much more really.

Even my fiancé who I dragged all the way to Liverpool just for that match kept commenting on how great it was which is saying something!

Couldn't be happier that I got to make it to Goodison because I get the feeling I won't be coming back until we're in the new stadium.

COYB!
