With FSC, ESPN, Setanta as part of my cable tv and the arrival of that new channel Fox Soccer Plus, I hope to always continue getting to see Everton live or delayed each weekend.
I also hope to get to attend my first match in September 2010 if all works out and I can make it up there as part of my trip to Germany and the UK.

Yeah, that was something...
I'm, btw, just listening to a program hosted by Osmo on YLE (Finnish Broadcasting Company) about prog rock.
Sounds like he's doing well these days then, glad to hear it. I take it he's still composing?
Its frustrating living away from Everton though, spending an hour before the game trying to find a stream, snaping up absolutley anything with the Everton brand on it. Not being able to get to as many games, as you like and droping over a hundread quid a month in the hope that, Sky, Setanta or Espn may have us on every second week.
I was brought up a blue in Dublin and we're thin on the ground, , my Dad and all his family and his Dad before where all blues. In our family it stems from relations emigrating to Liverpool from here probably 3 or 4 generations ago - they all became Blues and on visits over and back over the decades my family all beacme blues and its been past on through the generations.
I had it bad though, in my early twenties when i started to work and earn a bit of money, i got two season tickets every year one for Goodison and one for Parkhead. Every weekend until i was about 25 i was either in Liverpool or Glasgow, must have spent tens of thousands over the years. These days im lucky to get over about 6 or 7 times a year. Ill be over for the Sunderland game on Weds with my Dad.
I was watching fever pitch the other night with my grilfriend and she reckons if she can get me to the same level as the bloke in that film she will be happy.
Still reckon the club could do a lot for international fans - to help them access games etc, its pretty poor to be honest, i dont know if anyone else would agree.

I honestly have liked futbol since I was a kid, but i never really got into it. Until late in 2008 I just decided to see what it was like to be a fan, not just from time to time but to get really into it. I first watched the Prem and I dont know but for some reason Everton stood out out of the whole league. I remember we were 7th place when i first saw them, and my first game that i saw was against Chelsea in Jan 2009. After all that I never looked back and I just really do love this club. I love how its ran and I like the fact that were not the subject of a takeover at the moment, even though I would like to see it happen, but you know for obvious reasons. Takeovers can damage a club. I guess with the club colors being Blue and White like my country has, It helped in a way hehe.
Shout out to all the Latino Everton fans out there
and yes screw the big 4.

I wonder if half of Brazil follows Norwich City. 
Be thankful you didn't get to witness the Walker and Smith era, missed some good times though, what time is it in El Salvador now, id' hazard a guess at 1.30 or something, that's what it is in Rio now.

Great post Sharpy.
I've been one of the lucky few from this side of the pond I'm guessing who's actually had the chance to witness Everton at Goodison.
Everton vs. Spurs, Good Friday, 2004. The following Tuesday, Leeds United vs. Everton at Elland Road.
I will never forget it and I'm hoping I can get back soon.

Nice one Sharpy.
I, regrettably, have only ever seen Everton play twice live. Once, at Goodison when we beat Chelsea 1-0 in 1973 & once when they toured Oz & played an exhibition match here in Melbourne. That was in the 80's.
I was at Goodison, out of season, when I attended "me Grandma's" funeral in 2008. They wouldn't let me into the stands to have a gander though.
The reason I follow Everton is because "me Grandad" did. My Scouser half of the family has, unfortunately, inbred with RS supporters & there's an even mix down the middle now. I stay true to my Grandad, to honour him & follow the best team on Merseyside. Following Everton is easy really...look at the alternative!
I cannot watch Everton live as it's all on Pay TV here, but I can watch them occasionally over the Interwebby thing. I follow the forums & a number of other sites...hell, I even bought the away kit for this season!!!
I look around at kids wearing the "big 4" kits & wonder if they are true believers, or if it's just fashion to them. I wear my kit with pride...fashion be damned!!!
