Been thinking about this for a while now probably a couple of years without feeling as strongly as I do now , the point of the thread is for people to give there opinions on what I or others should do if the they felt the same way . Without going into Bill and co's failures because as others have pointed out there's a thread for that too .

It's one thing being a glory hunter and quit the game when your team are not winning league titles every season , but Iam at the point now where I feel the only way to show my frustration at the way the clubs run is to stop going the game , I gave my season ticket up in the top balcony about 4/5 years ago, but haven't missed a home game since, just never had the money at that time to renew . Every single season I go to on average 9 away games ( north west & London ect ), have been to every premier league ground numerous times and 3/4 championship too down the years , but when you feel yor money from the ticket prices is disappearing into thin air and your being told it's surfacing debt where you have no idea where the debt came from it's like your just throwing your money away . I think this summer has really done it for me when I see clubs who I regard as championship clubs continuesly outspending Everton , clubs who take 700 fans to places we take 4000, I suppose the point of my thread is if other people felt like I do in the sense I don't trust the chairman anymore one single bit , even less now than I ever did would I be wrong to quit the match under his ownership when I honestly can't see a way out of this mess the club are in
 

I understand where you are coming from, but going the match is more then just the result etc, for me anyway. Its the pub before and after, the laughs, the arguments, the shouting, the frustration, the feeling after games such as man utd at home last season or the derby. Each season brings optimism, often blind optimism, but optimism none the less. Up The Blues

Fair one mate , see with me it's not really about the whole day out even when I go away from home I drive , I keep the whole social affair and watching Everton separate I know most people see your side more too , Iam a football fan aswell as a fanatic Everton fan and strive to see my team not only play good football but to win silverwear and at the minute I don't think EFC are anywear closer than 10 years ago , not only that Iam so against everything Kenwright i think the only way of protesting this is to stop going myself because I acknowledge he's still got an awful lot of backers for any real protesting outside the ground to occur, and I can see him still being in charge in 5 years time saying the same stuff then " we have no money and no one wants to buy the club" and I feel my money is lining his pockets, so Iam now going to be officially a pub fan until I feel the club is being run in the right way and for the right reasons

As much as I understand your frustrations, if I had the ability to go to the games wach week nothing could stop me. I'd be there no matter what.

You should be feel happy you can go each week as you live local, and by all means express your opinions at the game.

It's not the players we have fault that we have no investment, so why should they have to play in a half empty stadium. They still need the support or we'll end up going down.

I think you may think we are worse than we actually are. Yeah we are miles behind Man Utd, City, Chelsea and probably Spurs, but we're not exactly Pompey or West Ham are we? We're the 7th best team in the whole country.
 
I think we do play good football, to be honest. And I don't think the current team is much worse than the one that reached a semi and a final few years back and I was convinced would win a trophy.

Fair enough , where about you living ??, I maybe wrong but I feel like the people who run the club are taking the fans for mugs ( that's how I feel ) so for me to keep going is pretty much just like throwing money away , if there's many 28 year olds who have watched Everton as much as me since I was 5 I'd love to see how they felt about it , I'd be a millionaire now :-) , as I said in the thread it's not about just playing good football everyweek or winning trophies year in year out , playing good football is what every fan wants and under Moyes we do , it's about how strongly I feel about how the club is being run , there have been so many failings to improve the club its got to the point where I don't think they can , and also don't think they will sell so in detail , I can see us going nowhere ( not on the pitch under Moyes) I mean off the pitch and long term when Moyes has moved on , I think Moyes is the single thing stopping the club from literally dying of death

Southampton mate - about as far away as I can get while still being in the country!

Have a watch of the video in this thread and then tell me you can keep away:

Mission that like Southampton ha , I was at the Del with my dad the last match before they knocked it down , think they beat us 2-0 under Glen Hoddle ( Beatie played for them ) I know what the video will be without watching it mate , it will be difficult when ya love going the game as much as me , I normally go to all the pre season friendly's too , it's just the only way I can show how I feel , I can personally see low gates this season and hopefully attracting some media attention , it may affect the team in the short term but if it puts a bit of pressure on Bill to sell or hire a company to find a buyer my opinion is in the long term it will be beneficial for the club , everyones got there own views on this that's why I started a thread and I know some people will slate me but Iam defo going to stay away while broken promise Bill is in charge and sadly I can see it being a long time
 
They're taking the piss. Go a handful of matches you fancy watching and take up gardening.
