How many times have you seen Everton live?

[dave abrahams]

Quite a lot, started going in 1948, haven't missed many home matches since, loads of away matches, cups reserve and youth matches, plenty at Anfield watching them when I didn't go to see Everton away, good years and more bad years but
looking back it was worth whatever it cost me, and I hope I get quite a few more now that things are looking up again!!!!!

Once: 1999 Everton 6 - West Ham 0

Kevin Campbell hat trick, a huge 3 points...

Was that the final game of the season? Or final home game. I remember being there and after the game we walked back to my mate's car....but it'd been robbed! Took the shine off it a bit.

350+ have being attending since 1971. I can't remember much of the Rotterdam trip either

best memory?

Loads simply loads...Villa away LC 84 at final whistle in tears cos we'd got to Wembley for first time and I'd get to go (was too young in 77). Spurs away 85 we knew the league was ours. Being swept along Goodison Road after the Bayern game everyone was just buzzing at what we all felt we'd been a part of.
Stupid things like my dad (RIP) waving down our coach like a copper in the middle of the road as we arrived back from wembley in 95 arms aloft like he'd scored the winner himself. I could go on. I'm sure everyone has their own personal little things.

Thinking back through some odd games I attended, I went to an Everton pre-season friendly at Fulham, probably August 1990, ended 2-2. It was at the time, Big Nev was unhappy and had fallen out or whatever. Anyway, I have no recollection of who scored our goals that night, would anyone be able to help me out please. I think the match was a testimonial for a Fulham defender (Scott?). Ta.

One time. Two easy goals conceded by Tim Howard.

Once - August 23rd, 2014. Everton 2-0 up at half time and we gave two soft goals late in 2nd half to make it 2-2.

Most memorable day of my life nonetheless.

A couple of hundred for me probs

First game as a nipper in 1975, ST between 1983-89, 3-4 aways per season (usually London), European jaunts and ST again since 2012. CBA calculating it

Not sure, Avid home matchgoer between about 82 and 97 and then moved to the Middle East.

Will get 4/5 in before Christmas, it's a fair trek but it's an itch that needs to be scratched from time to time

 

[dave abrahams]

wow 1948, fantastic sir!

I forgot to mention I also used to go to the annual Bootle v Everton cricket matches before the start of each season, most
probably just to see Davie Hickson who was pretty good in these games.

That tragedy occurred in the windswept wastelands of Romney Marsh, Kent in some shack he owned after Rod Hull had lost most of his fortune on bad property buying decisions. His son was helping, watching the TV reception and then running out to say, "left a bit, hold it there".
