efc1111 Posted August 11, 2014 Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 Season ticket sales are up 4,000 on last season, with 3/4s of seats filled before the season kicks off. That's got to be good for the club's cash flow this season. http://www.evertonfc.com/news/archive/2014/08/11/bumper-sales-pack-goodison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MC11 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2014 It's more of a dig at Liverpool. Nev. if you live in the city you get used to hearing gob shite Liverpool fans spouting absolute shite that wouldn't know their. Way to Anfield never mind go to watch Liverpool and also the big Scandinavian and out of towners that follow them. Whereas a lot of Everton fans go the game from within the city hence the phrase "we're Everton fans we go the game that's what we do" Brutal truth is it's a retort to the Kopites because they ram their success down our throats and the only thing that can be asked back is "do you go the game" a lot of the time the answer is no so they're told to shit up as they don't even go the game (i call it the match personally) Thats a brief explanation anyway mate Defo from Widnes then mate.

I have said the match before and heard it said. But if anything it's "you watching the game lad?" Or "you going the game" I think with the club using that term it's pretty much what get said by the scouse people. Otherwise they'd use "the match" Edited August 11, 2014 by MiguelCotto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise they'd use "the match" In all my 41 years I've never ever heard anyone from Liverpool say are you going the game, always the match. All the years I spent driving a taxi and going to golf and footy with lads from all over Liverpool it was the match. The game must be a Wirral saying, or widens as you pointed out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WE GO THE MATCH I lived on Lordens Road for a short while before moving onto Liverpool Road, they've knocked a lot of the surrounding areas round there like Wimbourne and are rebuilding it.

MC11 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2014 Much closer than the Wirral though ;)Not that it matters anyway mind. I live in Wallasey mate. A mile and a half stretch from the city centre. Broken only by the Mersey. I grew up in West Derby. We say the game. Like I said I have the heard "the match" said but it's more often "the game" in my circle if people. If it was more generic to say "the match" surely the club would use that. Being a scouse club and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they were building on the Wimbourne site but no sign of it yet, the people there dont think it will ever happen now. My Mums brother and sister still had houses on Wimbourne when they were knocking down,my auntie got herself a place down Princess drive and my Uncle moved away. I hate going down there now, great memories there as a kid (lived with my grandma for a year in Wimbourne too) seeing the place as a waste land is just sad. Was a good community, people looked out for each other down there, not like that anymore down that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Game , match it doesn't really matter. It was just a light hearted bit of banter. It wasn't really relevant until you said it was a Widnes thing when it is most definitely not it's a Liverpool saying(or sefton or knowsley they're all just boroughs of merseyside really same as Liverpool itself) Either way it's hardly worth worrying about.

I've not been down them ways for a long time but I thought they had started building new stuff round Lordens way in the last 12 months? I may well be wrong like.

MikeO Posted August 13, 2014 Report Share Posted August 13, 2014 Roberto with his style of football really has brought the fans back. with a couple of successful seasons and a new stadium we could be hitting the crowds of the 60s 70s and 80s. We're already beating the crowds of the seventies and eighties. Only three seasons out of twenty (70/71, 74/75 and 77/78) had a higher average home attendance than last year. We can never get back to the crowds of the sixties (unless we move/redevelop) because we don't have the capacity. http://toffeeweb.com/history/records/attendances.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For my money 50,514 was about 8,000 shy of what I believe it was, I was on a the terrace rails in the lower bullens and it was chocca.
