java2001e Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 mindless support is no more use than brainless criticism. youve got to be able to see the potential as well as the problems. some 'fans' focus too much on the latter. an overdose of optimism wont do much good but neither will deliberately ignoring the promise and focusing on the downside.

MikeO Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 Don't think you can judge whether an optimistic or pessimistic attitude has any bearing on your standing as a fan. I'm wildly optimistic at the start of every season but (since 1987) I've convinced myself that there's a good possiblity that we'll lose every game we play...that way when we win I'm pleasantly surprised. We all have different views on a lot of things...I think Leon Osman is pure quality but a lot of people think he's a squad player at best...I think Richard Wright is..no, hang on a minute, we all agree on him . And hey fishman, don't worry too much..maybe you've still got some growing in you ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraccerC Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 you need a mix, you cant have too much optimism or too many optimisticp eople, and nor can you have to much pessimism Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoldfishMemory Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 I could write forever on this subject but i'll shorten it down. Evertonians back their club, players & eachother 100% no matter what but are generally knowledgable & realistic about the clubs fortunes. They are also the best lads & girls in the world to travel on coaches and trains with, damn i love away days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mac Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 An undying love of the club is all that is needed, we could talk about who spends more on tops and season tickets, but personally I feel as long as you support the club and each other, that makes you an Evertonian.

CraccerC Posted July 25, 2006 Report Share Posted July 25, 2006 ^ agree its liek going to church, you don't have to be a christian to go to church nor are you a non-christian for not going, similar with football for me, aslogn as you support the club Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Romey 1878 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Sticking by Everton through thick and thin is what makes you a proper fan, you dont turn on them when things are bad if anything you support them more fiercely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EFC fan in oz Posted July 28, 2006 Report Share Posted July 28, 2006 Been an Evertonian since birth, so was my Dad and so was his Dad etc. just in the blood, guess thats what you get when your families from Liverpool. Now instead of 3pm usually up at 3am waiting for the scores and watching another boring Chelsea or Man Utd game to pass the time as our game plays out in text form on some internet site. Can't wait to get back to Goodison next year though just don't experience that kind of feeling anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoldfishMemory Posted August 1, 2006 Report Share Posted August 1, 2006 Thought that too, if we're selling so many why all the advertisements? On the other hand every little bit of marketing impacts sales in every business! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand every little bit of marketing impacts sales in every business! 42689[/snapback] Thats right, its called the marketing mix. I fear we didnt get it quite right this year The two week window for renewing (even before the season had finished) was ridiculous. We didnt have a good end to the season and you can see a few people being pissed off. I know we are on the lower end of the ticket price scales, but the pricing is too expensive. END OF I think is would have been better if the renewal dates would have been extended a few week and some of the people who did not renew would have seen our signings and maybe gone for it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
java2001e Posted August 3, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 (edited) an Everton fan... i think mark put it best: "Sticking by Everton through thick and thin is what makes you a proper fan, you dont turn on them when things are bad if anything you support them more fiercely." i think you could add, especially when the board and the management are honestly trying hard to improve the quality of the side!
