With all the chat that has gone on, negative and positive, it got me thinking.

We all love Everton. That's why we are all on forums like this..... talking about the club that mean's such a lot.

But why?

It's not for the big transfer window spending...
It's not for the trophy cabinet....
It's not for the glamour....

For me it's down to the feeling you get at Goodison. Whatever the weather, whatever the result. Goodison is a special place.

Why do you all support the club? Would you ever stop? Evertonian till you die?

my partner and i have been togeather for 4 years now.. she moved out to aus with her family about 5 years from a little place about an hour outside liverpool called weaverham (northwich).

just kinda picked it up football and everton from her family and now im into it more then they are.. constantly getting up at 2am and waking the house up watching games etc...

been over twice in those four years.. first time was out of season but 2nd time i got to see 2 games at goodison at the start of this season.

most people just assume it's because of timmy.. its good to be able to say it isnt... (although him along with baines are my fav lol)

I was forced, why else would I support Everton?

Introduced to the club in the late 90's by a fellow footballer and Joe Max was playing for 'em as well so I started to take a liking to them. Moyes was then appointed and that was all she wrote.

No looking back.

Was taken to see the RS back in '77 against leeds and frankly i had more in common with the whipper shaggers then for xmas that year i was taken to goodison man united beat us 6-2 on that boxing day

I just fell in love there and then

Several years back, some friends and I began following the Premier League. One by one, my friends fell for the likes of Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal, Spurs and even the RS...

I was looking for a club with both history and class. One that competed at the highest level without the inherent arrogance of a top flight team. Naturally, I came upon Everton.

It's been the best of times; it's been the worst of times, but at the end of the day, I look over at the supposed 'top' teams and I realize I wouldn't have it any other way.

I'm forever Everton.

Been supporting the Mighty Everton since the '85 FA Cup Final. My bro is a Manyoo supporter from way back so I decided to go for the 'other' team that happened to be wearing my favorite colour blue that day. It's amazing how quickly the Everton bug can take a hold of you. 26 years on and I'm still passionate (if not more passionate) about the club we all love. I continue to support Everton because I love the 'us against them' underdog tag we carry, I love how our support is made up of genuine, loyal, and knowledgeable football fans who follow their team not because it is just fashionable to do so, I love how we still play at a stadium with lots of character and history. I just can't wait until this true 'sleeping giant' of Europe wakes up from its slumber!

I was chosen by the club. I started watching football when I was 12 and then a year on I felt like this is the team that I wana look out for and the rest is history.

To keep the lads who make defibriulators in a job!

fifa 06. playing with man u was too easy, playing with blackburn was too hard. everton was just right. not 100% sure what made me start watching streams of game but is was probably something to do with tim cahill and the 06 wc

My uncle took me from a very young age, my Grandad also used to take me to Tranmere on a Friday night, but I always knew Everton were for me.

Oh - and Molly Bushell, originator of the Everton Toffee is my Great Great Great Great Great Grandmother.

Only second generation blue here, my father was, and still is, big on the work ethic thing plus he absolutely loved the Big Dunc so I grew up watching premier league every saturday from the earliest of the 90's when my football interest started growing. Early years with Kanchelskis and Limpar, the FA Cup win are of course highlights but I think these recent years under Moyes is when I've really gotten to both my mum and one sister as well, and last year we all went to our first game at Goodison, and come easter we'll most likely be back again.

Good, even though now they seem occassionally hard, times!

Born into it.

And if you can change the team you support you're not a real football fan at all.

Are you having a go at Gerry Marsden and Les Dennis?

But, yeah, born into it. All my dad's family are/were blue. My mum's family were largely blue although her mother went to the dark side in the thirties because she hated her Evertonian dad so much.

As for ever stopping supporting them, well they've given enough opportunities over the years haven't they and yet we're all still here.

I started going to see Everton with my Dad around 85/86, seen some highs and lows since then as you can imagine but I would not change the feeling of watching the Blues for the world you just get sucked into it.

We are a special team with special fans, this forum above any sums it up the majority of our fanbase best everyone has an opinion but we respect it. Through good times and bad I still look forward to any game the night before with that feeling in my stomach and I am so proud to be a Blue.
