Apologies in advance for bringing this topic here today, but I've been wanting to talk about this for while with my fellows on this forum.

Everton FC are like my family. I was born in the Czech Republic and I still live here. Still I grew up watching our games, playing computer football games as only EFC, always went training with my Everton kit in my local football club here. I love hearing, reading and talking about long stories about the history of the club, the battles, the social issues, the culture of Merseyside and Everton position in it, the greats. I try to meet with other our fans here in my country, to watch games together, to take a trip to watch us in England once in a while.

And now I have a felling, that if you love watching the game and love watching Everton, great, but it becomes a problem when you go against that history and think you as an overseas adopted fan have equal entitlement as the families who have been going to the match for the last fifty, even hundred years, equal weight and importance as the kids growing up around Goodison. I always feel bad when I see our fans laughing at LFC fans that they are plastic, Norwegians, etc.

So I wonder, what is your real view on foreign Everton fans? Do you see foreign Evertonians as one of us or do you see them as an other type of Everton fans? Do you see them as a positive or negative for the whole club? Thanks for your opinions.

Very good topic my friend. I'm new to this site and I am enjoying it, but I have had some people ask who I am, as if I have been banned from here and it seems as if someone from Croatia following Everton is crazy. It made me feel as if this site is not used to people from outside the UK supporting Everton. Everton has many fans over the world, and they should be embraced.

Supporting EFC is hard enough in Liverpool, never mind the love these fans show for us when they are miles away. Absolutely love it. Respect.

To be honest, polish kopites are far worse than original ones. Yeah, I can't believe it either.
