Does it really matter where the supporters come from? They're all paying their money so we can keep our midtable with a few cups ambition aren't they?

might as well leave it there then but think you will have your work cut out because nearly every post on here is based on opinion so good luck with that one. I live in the City, I also go to every home game and and base my opinion on what I see and know and I am telling you that because the way both clubs sell there tickets there are more match going fans in the City of Liverpool than Everton, wether you agree or disagree am not really bothered but I would be interested to hear from other locals about what they think about who has more local fans... Its a football forum, of course most posts are on opinion but if you are stating something as a fact you need to back it up. Why is your opinion more relevant than mine or any other? I've already said that from my experiences of Liverpool the city is full of reds and blues, it's probably not a 50/50 split but I don't think Everton are the more favoured as you say they are. I think its a myth that Everton are more favoured in Liverpool city. I think most of it comes down to the fact that most local players who went onto be professionals were everton supporters growing up. a lot more, it's very hard to get hotel rooms in Liverpool when Liverpool are at home or maybe that's a myth too... False correlation, logical fallacy. There are more tourists there because Liverpool has more fans, period than the bluesh*te. Just because LFC has more foreign fans than Everton, that doesn't mean they have fewer local fans. Everton is mostly only local fans, but that doesn't mean those locals outnumber Liverpool's.

might have a point about players however you will find there are far more tourists at Liverpool home games than tourists at Goodison Park, a lot more, it's very hard to get hotel rooms in Liverpool when Liverpool are at home or maybe that's a myth too... Liverpool are a bigger club, being a bigger club with a global fan base means we'll get more tourists, doesn't mean there is no local support.

If you read what was written I never said there was no local Liverpool support what I did say was that Everton are the peoples club because they have more match going fans from the city than us. I am not really bothered about who has the most I am more interested in match going fans myself as they are the important bread and butter ones not a fan who buys a badge or scarf every two years, this is what the club considers fans too which is what counts afterall.

So You are happy with our league position, the most limited average team since Shanks took over and owners who can't be bothered to even turn up to watch the games while at the same time putting the least amount of money as they can get away with while at the same time taking as much as they can out. As that question to people on the forum again... The league season hasn't finished yet. I would prefer to give the current manager a chance to make his mark before writing the team off. The owners are not ideal but they are not fleecing the club to the extent that you are making out. Your remarks about glory-hunting fans is insulting given that we haven't won the league in 25 years. You try to give the impression that you speak for the entire city of Liverpool when it's only your own tainted, depressing and biased viewpoint. The "people's club" remark, may just have given you away. i go past Goodison nearly everyday to work and there is a big sign that says the people's club so how am I telling any lies, most people who actually go the match from the city watch Everyon because locals can't get tickets for Liverpool again this is a fact. TheClub are only interested in fans that actually go the game or but merchandise again this is a fact so I think you better go away and come back with better material if ure going to challenge a local about what goes on in his City... I think you have been on here before in various guises but its the same old guff. Talk Liverpool FC down and talk the other lot up. It takes quite a talent to be able to complain about the ground being sold out. Your suggestion that there are Liverpool fans in the city who go to watch the other lot because they can't get tickets for our home games is very amusing. We got to a final tonight and most of us are delighted, are we all glory hunters? I suppose a haters got to hate. Good luck tomorrow night.

It is you, welcome back, however briefly. The "match going fans" melarkey confirmed it for me. Do you think you will keep Roberto much longer?

Regarding the OP, no. We've already got a Stadium in London. We're going to Anfield South for the final!

I go to plenty of games but I don't believe that makes me a better fan than the next person. I suggest you go and support the people's club, if you don't already.

I suggest you go and support the people's club, if you don't already. it makes me laugh when people get hysterical when the talk switches to fans and support all I have done is state 2 facts and challenge anyone to disagree. The first is that there are more match going local fans going to watch Everton, doesn't matter wether it's good or bad just that's the way it is the second fact is one that people in here just bury there heads in the sand about so O will explain. It's not me who separates fans it's the Club and John Henry, the Clubs idea is wether you regularly contribute as in going the match or buying merchandise or you don't, there is nothing else how much of a supporter the club sees you as is how much you pay them nothing more nothing less so it's not me saying anything it's the club you claim to support, watchin on the telly singing songs and telling people how much you love the club means bo diddly squat to the Club, it's money that matters...
