There is a big difference. The ones who say they are Liverpool fans are only Liverpool fans when it suits e.g. finals, etc. The rest of the time they couldn’t give a toss. They have no intention of ever going to the match. They’ll just use the excuse ‘can’t get a ticket’.

Evertonians, on the other hand, go to the match. In school they’d outnumber us but you could bet any money that every blue in the class would be a match going supporter.

Add to that the 25% of non football supporting people who probably also “go the game” at Goodison and you have a 50-50 split. As evidenced by the turnout for the bus tour after the CL final last time and as we’ll no doubt see the next time Everton actually win something.

I’ve been on the list for 16 years now, 10k or so and not getting one anytime soon.

 

And they can get half season BOGOFs. They should go the game.

Everton's vast and detailed planning application for a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock is in the process of being uploaded onto Liverpool City Council's website.

And the Blues' full application, with all documents and pages, is expected to be available for the public to see by tomorrow.

Everton are hoping to have a decision on planning permission by the summer and as part of their extensive submission with the local authority it has been confirmed the precise capacity of the proposed waterfront home will be 52, 888.

People will have from Friday until Friday, March 20 to leave their comments with the City Council as formal public consultation forms an integral part of the decision-making process.

Colin Chong, Everton's Stadium Development Director said: “A significant amount of work has gone into getting to this final stage of applying for planning permission, and extreme care has been taken to ensure that our stadium proposals enhance Bramley-Moore Dock and the surrounding area.

“A new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock will be truly transformational for North Liverpool, the city region and the Northern Powerhouse. This is a once in a generation opportunity to make a difference to the future of our city. I would ask everyone, even if you are not a football fan, to consider this final planning application and submit your comments to the Council at this vitally important moment.”

When the full application has been uploaded onto the Council's planning portal, people will be able to see the project in detail, including plans to restore the Hydraulic Tower, hopes for a 345-space multi-storey car park and the club's transport strategy for matchdays, among many other facets of the stadium.

A handful of everton fans enjoy a calm sunny day at the docks (not able to smell the sewage plant,)  before Everton's champions league semi final. 

 

The full application submission can be viewed on the Liverpool Council website.

A hard copy of the application is also at Central Library, William Brown Street, (1st Floor Reference Section) and is available to view during normal library opening times.

There are around 50 supporting documents attached with the application that explain the scheme in great detail.

Comments on the application need to be made in writing by March, 20 of this year, quoting the application reference number 20F/0001. 

They should be e-mailed to the dedicated council application e mail address efcapp@liverpool.gov.uk but can also be sent by post to The Planning Department, Liverpool City Council, 4 Floor, Cunard Building, Water Street, Liverpool, L3 1AH, quoting the application reference number 20F/0001.

So that means there are only roughly 37,000 Everton fans in Merseyside, if they all go the game.

Sounds about right.

That whole we go the game is such nonsense. Most blues I know don't go the game. Do they have a fan base the size of the stadium capacity for them to all manage to go the game. Its another weird soundbite that makes absolutely zero sense, we go the game, peoples club, the city is ours. Nonsense.

The club puts posters up around the city advertising their next game. 

 

Why would they do that if the game-goers (who, of course, are the majority of people in the city) had already bought all the tickets?

Setting aside the Manchester Commonwealth Games and London Olympics stadiums (where the areas benefited from huge amounts of Government money) are there any examples of new football grounds in England being a catalyst for regeneration?

None of the blues that I know go to any of their games. I doubt a cold and windy winters night at the dock will change that. 
 

Tou only have to look at the Emptihad, league titles (cheats) domestic cups (cheats) and thumping teams (cheats) for quite a while now and still they can’t fill their free stadium. 
 

We genuinely have a lot of fans that want tickets, we have been that way for a while now. Our expansion was in part to meet that need and also for the corporate stuff. 
 

 Everton fans have decided they want a massive stadium that they won’t fill. That they want it built on a site where the preparation costs are crazy and in a remote part of the city. It’s brilliant because if it ever gets built it’s going to ruin them. Well more than they already are of course. 
 

if their owner wasn’t terrified of the backlash he’d build a simple stadium with a little extra seating and better corporate facilities for ............ er

If the stadium does happen, they'll be in more trouble than if it doesn't!

 

They financially fucked, poor squad, can't attract players, have no real players with massive resale value, and can't inject magic money like City because they don't have it and their revenues are woeful.

 

It'll be interesting to see how this all plays out over the next few years for them.

They will be the first side to get relegated while Playing in a brand new stadium. Another first for them.

Leicester,Derby,Sunderland and Southampton have all been relegated in a new stadium.

Spurs and Arsenal fell off quite badly after building a new stadium.

 

None of this will affect Everton though.

Yeah, yeah, we all know it's a myth but they can wallow in their belief they're better at a fans' level than us if they wish. It doesnt change the reality.

 

I always get bloos saying to me about 'Norwegians' at Anfield. I say isnt that racist against Norwegians? I always point out actually, you find Germans, Swiss, Icelandic, Danish and fans from around the world in our ground. It's what you'd expect with a big, world famous club, same as you get at Juve, Milan, Real and a few others but, the essence of the support is from Liverpool.

 

They can keep their parochial outlook and they'll always be seen as a small club, desparately trying to be seen as a big hitter on the world stage while their own inward looking approach will always hold them back.

I posted a serious question on Twitter the other day, asking whether Evertonians are concerned that the location of the Unicorn Stadium is susceptible to the kind of storms that are inevitably going to get more frequent and more severe in the years to come; the kind of storms that cause matches to be abandoned, leading to season-wrecking fixture congestion, year after year.

 

I got one response - full of emojis and talk of heads falling off - from someone who insists that the Unicorn Stadium exists and climate change doesn't; only a weird, stupid Kopite would believe the other way round. 

 

(I checked his Twitter feed and, as I suspected, he's got the delusion hat-trick: he's a Brexiteer, too.)

It's probably been mentioned elsewhere, but apart from the issues of actually gaining planning consent, funding it, building it, sorting out transport issues, filling it, APART from all that - and more - the prevailing weather is from the South West. Whether storms do or don't get more frequent and/or severe, immediately to the South West of BMD is, erm, a swathe of extremely salty water. That will destroy almost ANY surface over a fairly short timescale. 

 

Fortunately, not only is that the least of their problems, I couldn't give a flying fuck.

Unless this fella lives outside the club shop opposite Goodison then he is a bare faced liar.

In my lifetime and this is honestly how I’ve seen it the prevalent shirt/tracksuit top/polo/scarf the city on non match days has always been blue. You see a few more RS ones these past few years but on the whole there always seems to be more Everton clobber on show. Just how I’ve seen it like.
