Probably about 160 ? Only started going regularly when I stopped shagging sheep 24/7 and came to uni in Liverpool.

Been to about 60, first time over was 2001. I have a very proud record of only ever seeing us lose twice- Middlesboro in the cup midweek and West Brom embarrassing us 1-4. Long may that continue!

I attended my first match on Boxing Day 1954, when I was eight.
I received my first season ticket some ten years later, courteously gifted by two very kind and generous parents. So, let's do the maths shall we.
No, let's not.
The truth is, I missed a percentage of the years 1957 and 1958 and 1959 with swimming and table tennis related activities.
I also missed a fair chunk of the glorious 1960/61 and 1961/62 seasons due to cycling and cross country running commitments.
Much of the years between 1966 and 1974 I missed due to either playing football, or rugby, or cricket myself.
I became an ever present during the 'lean' years between 1975, through until 1982.
I missed HUGE chunks of the glory days of 1983 to 1989, due to a mixture of rally driving, and travelling with the band I played in.
Working abroad took massive amounts of view-able fixtures away from me from the early nineties until about 2002.
Since then I have missed very few games. Only home games mind, as my away days are something of long long ago
.
Throughout the period between 1964 when I received my first season ticket, until present day, I have always had a season ticket, irrespective of my ability to attend or not.
I hasten to add, I don't believe me being a STH for this period makes a better BLUE than anyone else. All it means is that I was lucky enough to afford one, That is all. Nothing more and nothing less.
When I attempted to put a semi realistic figure on how many games I have watched Everton play in, something terrible occurred to me.
All the seasons when Everton were successful, were the very seasons when I hardly ever attended.
Ergo, I AM A SODDING JINX.
Stops counting and seeks solace in a rat and rhubarb herbal dental mixture with a sloe berry sauce and iron filing crafted linctus. Now I await the dreaded howls of an angry mob, complete with rabid slugs and brandishing sharp heavy corn-plasters of napalm induce balsa seeds.

My better half has the distinction of only seeing us lose about 4 times. We first started together not long after we met (early 1984-5 season - so you know where this is going). She was at Wembley for the United FA Cup final (loss, away game). Other than that well.. she was at Bayern Home, most of the midweek games in 84-5 and then all home games 85-6 (plus 2-0 at Anfield) and most of 86-7 up to March (5 months pregnant). We don't count the loss to Charlton on pens (Big Nev scored one) as - it was too cold and we left at 90 mins with the game level - her last game for nearly 19 years.
So, in the intervening years it would be son not wife going.. she claims we "never lose" when she goes to Goodison. It's kind of true and she was brought to the New Year's Day 2006 game with Charlton (which you surely remember came just after the debacle of Bolton 0-4, Villa 0-4 and RS 1-3) and it worked. She's been about 10 times since and the 1-2 reverse to Man City was a rare loss (the one where, at 0-2, we went down to 10 with Jags injured). She retired to the car feeling "unwell" at this point (technically missing the "loss" you could argue).
Last game was 4-0 v Yeovil this season.
On the other hand I have never been to an away FA Cup game where we won on the opponent's ground. I gave it up as a bad job after the 98th minute loss at Old Trafford in 1983.

I think I should give her my season ticket ,as we both seem to have opposite effects on the results.

Some time during Walker or Walter I developed the ability to completely erase all memory of pain. Like a woman after childbirth.
Guessing it's around 500. Mostly home, maybe 60 aways.

I've got to ask, would we know the band ?.
From ireland. Started going over when I was 18. Maybe 35 times I'd say.

Spot on. Totally agree. My high point was definitely the 84 Cup Final too. For all the reasons you set out.Strangely enough it was winning the FA cup in 1984. After such a long period of total domination by the reds and seeing Howard assemble a rag tag team of has beens, crocks and no-marks (which is exactly what we all thought, despite what people may say nowadays), it was heaven to with the cup against Watford. Even though we did much greater things in the years after, it was that win after being so long in the wilderness that stands out the most!
I can empathise with the young supporters who have never seen us win anything for a similar period of time, but at least the RS have been shagite in that period too! Back then they were unstoppable and i truly couldn't see us ever getting back on top! But that rag tag team, with its hugely under pressuer manager steppd up to the plate and broke the strangle hold the RS had on football, joyous times and a lesson for those who are having hysterics because we didnt sign Messi! We need to sign the right players, not necessarily the best ones, which of us can honestly say we haven't? Incidentally, my dad is still a season ticket holder, at 84, and he was only saying last week he hoped Koeman could lift a cup with us, to kick start it all again, fingers crossed!
