It's called life mate. Everton's always part of it, but at certain times in your life other things ( family, money, geographry, work, enthusiasm, whatever ) get in the way. Some people will have gone to every home game for seventy years, others enthusiasm will ebb and flow.
Look back at the attendances from our recent past and you'll soon see that plenty of Blues have decided to stay away for one reason or another, doesn't make them any less of a Blue. Just be thankful you're close enough to be able to make the choice. Without wishing to sound like Chico, I've lived and worked abroad and there've been times when I'd have killed just to get to Goodison. Equally, there've been times when I'd have killed to get out of the bloody place when we've been awful.

People should treasure every game they go to, especially with the people you go with. Your dad, son, best mate whatever. You don't realise how boss it is until it's gone.
Everton are boss. Football in general might be a bit grim at the moment but Everton are always boss like.

Missing tomorrow too....and Villa at home which means I can't get to see us for all of November and that really pees me off. Flying to the States for work tomorrow and South Africa for Work on 21st. Only missed around 4-5 home games in 30-odd years....work has a lot to answer for.
But if you don't like it, then don't go. Simple as.

This is me. I organise our holidays round home games. I like to pretend it's because I'm a top fan but it's really because I'm a tight arse.
I went home and away religiously for about a decade from 85 til I joined up in 95, then being away meant I could only go sporadically. I hated missing out, but just got used to it.
I still make sure i go up a few times a season, and always do all the Eurooean away trips (I'm addicted to travel!) but have lost 99% of the buzz for premier league football now. Hugely over-rated, cringe-worthily over-hyped and ridiculously over-priced: it's nowhere near worth the financial outlay.
I was at Havant & Waterlooville v St Albans in the Conference South today. £12 in, free parking and I felt 'part' of the occasion. I've been traipsing around non-league and loads of classic European venues for a good few years now, and it gives me the buzz I used to get travelling with Everton years ago.
And it also makes me really appreciate Goodison whenever I do go back.

It's really more of a routine these days,enjoy going and have a laugh before and during the game,more than the actual football,I know if I did stop,I probably wouldn't go back which makes me keep going,if that makes any senselol

I value anything you say about Everton as zero
There are so many Blues out there who would love to be able to attend games as financially it didn't matter on thier day to day life, sadly they can't attend as they don't have the finances to.
No doubt if RM turned things round you would be back on the bandwagon

I'm by no means fan of the year but I generally get to a lot of home games and a few aways a year. I think the main thing is that I am part of a group that goes regularly. To be honest (and I have gone on my own before) it's as much going with mates and making a day out of it that counts more than form/league position.

Where are you from mate ?
If geography gets in the way then it probably colours your view a bit. I can't speak for the OP, but, in the not so ancient past, I've swerved going to games because of family reasons ( both kids and aging parents ) at times when, if we'd been playing some decent footie, I might have made more of an effort.
Everyone's priorities are different. In my late teens and early twenties I had no commitments, and had the time and money to follow the team all over the country. As you grow up other stuff gets in the way, which presumably, in your eyes, makes everyone in that situation a crap fan ?
