27 years campaign

[WilliamPerry]

I have high anxiety and mental health issues. I support a protest but I will have a massive problem going below the stands when it is heaving with fans. I never go down at half time. If I stay in my seat someone is bound to start throwing abuse. I can wear my special needs lanyard but I doubt some will care about it.

Serious, this is causing me some grief as I have no idea what to do. If I feel that I cannot go into a very crowded place then I will not be able to do so. It becomes pure fear and panic. I am even thinking of giving this game a miss due to this dilemma.

Mate you do not have to worry. Not everyone can go down . we are fully respectful of all people . Not everyone is capable of doing this and we dont want to cause any stress.

I did suggest that a protest outside the ground would in my opinion be more appropriate.
The ‘stay out of it’ attitude supports my concern that the division of Blues weakens any protest.
Hope that helps.

Then arrange one

If everyone who had a view on it arranged one then it would be chaotic and gain nothing. I'll repeat, I'm not against it but think outside would be more impactful. Not sure why posts are getting the middle finger etc when this is the case.

If anyones planning on walking out, mind giving me your ticket - seeing as you're not going to be at the game.

Plenty of spares knocking about . Buy one.

A terrifying number of spares as was the derby and what Chelsea down to two credits . People are voting with their feet

I wont be walking out, I think there are better ways to protest without effecting the team. They have no confidence as it is and need the fans behind them. I ain’t against a protest but this one I am. How about a sit in by the fans after of befor the game. While the game is on we should 100% be behind the team. Just my thoughts

you are entitled to your opinion pal .

100s left for the Derby but that was also.down to the club not wanting them touted to Kopites, Arsenal on TV there will be a lot of seats not even taken at the start, can easily see 1500 empty seats

I'm not sure about the protest - given something it will likely represent, intended or not.

There is something rotten with the PL that once made English football great.
And it is caricatured by box office Keane's rants on SKY - 'this is Manchester United'.
- an expectation that United must be considered more important than others bc of who they are; not being at the top should not be accepted.

Everton should never fall for this. No one should have a right in English football to be at the top.

I've never understood, beyond the banter, why Evertonians feel it necessary to degrade 'lesser' clubs.

English football stood apart from the other major leagues in the potential it gave to each and every club to succeed.
The champions were truly champions - that is until the PL came along.
If anyone is to doubt this then looks sideways at the trajectory the FA cup has taken since then. A once great institution and idea which has been reduced to an after thought bc it is countervailing to an elitist mindset.

The state of English football mirrors closely the growing class of elite that is establishing itself across the world.
If your lucky you might just find your social standing resembles Everton, better off than most of the rest.
But to fall into the trap of getting pulled into the mindset of thinking you are also better than the rest...well its just not what Everton should stand for
- as a founder and as genuinely great club and community.

I've recently read Thomas Piketty's great book on Capital and the difference between inherited wealth and earned wealth seems relevant here.
Effectively the PL took the greatness of English football and has kept it for the few. Man United and Liverpool have inherited a status it doesn't deserve.

When Man U made it back to the top, it felt in good, in a fair play sort of way. Its part of what makes clubs great - to get back to the top again. The PL has taken the greatness out of it.

Are we seriously now wanting to sing to the tune of the PL mindset?

If and when we become champions again, let it be said that it was achieved without falling for such; to stand atop and say no, we didn't inherit this, we are not joining your club of elites. We are not you. Now that would be great.

[side note: Keane's great, he's real, he continues to fight for what his club is about - he's also the perfect puppet for the puppeteers)

Honestly if I use my season ticket im only going so I can leave . That’s the absolute truth and I know it’s only a game and I know people are having a laugh and trolling and the like on here but honestly it’s absolutely Heartbreaking what this club have done to me . I loved it with the passion of a teenage first love and now It’s like I either hate it or frankly I’m not sure if I care I’m that numb .

My mother has given her season ticket up this year. it’s not the club she loved all her life anymore. That’s reason enough for me to fight for a better future.

 

[Earwigjoe]

I honestly struggle to find a decent argument to NOT protest against the way this club is run. Astonished people are satisfied with the way things have been going over the past 20+ years.

I think alot of the opposition is down to alot of wafas spellbound fanboys thinking its going to result in the ousting of their beloved wafa. They see protest as a single issue matter- instead of the much needed fixing of our incompetent board. EVERTON 1st.
