16 Years

Grand Old Team is 16 years old today.

From our small team of volunteers – thank you all for your tremendous support of GrandOldTeam over the years and for making GOT what it is.

GrandOldTeam was setup on the 5th February 2007 with the intention of providing a ‘sound’ forum, a user-friendly online platform which would allow Evertonians from across the world to log on to and discuss the Toffees – and anything else for that matter!

GOT 2007
GOT 2009
GOT 2011

In our first year, 950 Evertonians made 97,810 posts in our forum. 16 years later, over 50% of these still continue to login to GrandOldTeam, joined by over 50,000 other Evertonians who have now contributed over 10 million posts.

Every single year we’ve had increasing number of Evertonians visiting and engaging across our platform. We now average between 6 and 12 million page visits per month with over 300,000 social media fans and 50,000 active forum members.

While our aim was never to become the biggest Everton community, our priority from day one has always remained the same – to endeavour to Nil Satis Nisi Optimum in providing the very best place on the web for fans worldwide to congregate to discuss Everton Football Club.

Along the way, we’ve won countless awards for doing just that – winning the best football forum in the UK on numerous occasions. More importantly – in our sixteen years as a community we’ve raised thousands of pounds for charity, from Lucas’ Legacy to Alder Hey, to pioneering work on mental health in our forum.

Thank you all for your tremendous support.
