How many times have you seen Everton live?

[dave abrahams]

I think you're spot on allez in fact im sure he lived in the EFC club houses in the long gone goodison avenue behind the old park end.

Yes I'll vouch for that, Tommy Clinton, Cyril Lello and a few more Everton players lived there.

That tar didn't keep them out, especially on one large gate, the fans got loads of papers and put them all over the tar and climbed up over the lot, that was the first year they sold the FA Cup final programme outside of London, I bought that night
and got Johnny Carey's autograph on the front page of it. Jojnny was manager of Blackburn Rovers at the time and if Everton would have lost one drew that game then Blackburn would have gone up instead of us.What a great night that was,
I went to Exchange St. Station around three o'clock that afternoon, the place was crowded with Everton fans, you couldn't
move for them, singing and chanting, we never stopped singing until about one o'clock the next morning, not a just a great victory and Everton coming up but Liverpool were relegated that same season, Oh Happy Days, and Liverpool would remain in the second division for the next EIGHT YEARS, wish I could go back to that night for just a few minutes, a fabulous time.

My dad went twice and did not "see" a game! Too much fog in the abandoned game then locked out of the rematch!! Could not climb over the fences haha.
The Liverpool relegation twist to it was boss he said. Had been through a hard time with the RS for the 4 years we were down but to say it made the turnaround all the sweeter would be the understatement of the century!!!!!

Still get that buzz. Every time. Even after all these years and all those games.


Once Everton has touched you...

 

[allezlesbleus]

No one will want to leave, still be 30k there the following day.

We're not going home,
We're not going home
Eye aye adio
We're not going home!!!!!

Like after the league game in 68 immediately after the cup final defeat when fans just basically said never mind lads we love you any way!!!!!!

 

[Jamo Martinez]

Probably only about 100 times in total.

 

[moylee]

Probably about 8 times. First game was against spurs, Tony Cottee hattrick. Best game was Fiorentina.

0. hoping to push an Ingerland trip (with requisite stop at Goodison for a match) for my 50th, if not in the half dozen years between then and now.

what made you support Everton all the way from South America @obc .....brilliant stuff

I remember seeing Sany Brown coming out of one ot them houses, on a match day, and I thought , that's handy, living so close to the ground, haha.

 

[IveGotThe]

Roughly about 325x 75-present

 

[gonetomorrow]

Once - at Stamford Bridge in 1970. The charity shield. We won and I was smitten.

I've seen the lads in most TV games in the last forty years or so.

I'm actually an Americano, my wife was offered a teaching abroad position here and we took it.

Tim Howard, "club punching above it's weight", not one of the massive bandwagon clubs. Just appealing on a lot of levels and the club that jumped out, "support me!"

 

[daza_1973]

A few hundred between 1991 and 2002 , before mortgages etc curtailed my disposable income somewhat....

 

[Jozzy]

Living in Australia I haven't had the privilege to watch Everton live... Yet!

 

[l4toffee]

I'll miss Goodison when we go.
Not sure how I'll deal with it after we do leave. Nothing comes close to reaching those last few steps and seeing the lights, the people, the pitch.

Somebody said nothing will be the same.

How right they were

im not leaving . I'm staying with a multi pack of flake and refusing to move
