My primary school was 80% Everton but it was Gladys St
My senior school was 80% or more red but that was South liverpool which is to be expected
In that senior school in my year there was about 30 blues out 250 kids and there was at least 12 match going blues who went all home games and 2 of us went all aways. There was only 3 reds who went the game out the rest of the year

Seemed about even to me when I lived there. Saw a lot more red shirts but then I did live about 15 doors away from the pit. More merchandise for that lot too, but I think it's more to do with them being real biffs and wanting everything red. Also the touristy lot who turn up. If you're asking "football fans" as in fans of actual football, I'd say there are more Blues who understand the game, go the game and have a decent knowledge of football in general. Most reds I met were whiney divs who hadn't a clue tbf.
I'll say one thing.
We have spent most of the last 40 years in the doldrums while they had a glorious run through the latter half of the 70's and all of the 80's.
Plus little pockets of success in the last two decades whereas we haven't won sod all in twenty years.
And a media which drools over their mawkishness.
If you reversed that level of success you can bet your bottom dollar you would be hard pressed to find to find one Kopite for every three Evertonians in the city of Liverpool.
It never ceases to amaze me how our support has kept up in the city over the decades since the 1960s.

Hard to say, the thing is Liverpool are probably more popular as they were more successful than us and people bought into it. You knew who was genuine and who wasn't. Kids picked up on Liverpool as the popular thing to do but the ones who said they supported Everton during the nineties will be cut from the cloth of an Evertonian. To me that is as genuine as you can get. I usually associate Liverpool fans as people who don't know much about the game and just support them because it's what they're told or what they see as popular. Yes they have good supporters but across the whole spectrum the majority are clueless. We all have mates who are like that and couldn't put up an argument to save their team. Look how many came out of the woodwork in April 2014 and quickly went back in September 2014.
It comes down to what @johnnydawg68 said in his first paragraph.
The amount of "fans" they have, a good few my relatives, including my brother, couldn't tell you what their lask three results were but will still give stick and be around to watch big games. So if they were questioned they call themselves RS supporters when all they are is inbred mongrels.

Have to take exception to that remark about the Beautiful South
Born and raised around Garston, Aigburth and Speke and there was never a majority of Kopites in any school or youth club I ever attended

Living in the city and not going to Anfield once is defo not a fan. I see two/three games a year at Goodison but that's only because I'm a Dubliner. If I won the lotto I'd buy a place over there.

It's around 50/50 or 60/40 in their favour.
Although they like to wear LFC gear about more in town and stuff which creates the illusion that their support locally dwarfs ours.
Liverpool is unlike many city's in that the support is mixed in all area's and you don't get area that are made up of one fan base

Having taught in Bootle ( 80% blue in the 90's) Croxteth (60-40 blue ) The South of the city is a nightmare.What happens in the south of the city is you get a lot of people staying here from university or come from outside the city with no affiliation to either club their kids gravitate to the red lot due to perceived success. Mind you they are welcome to them as most don't know anything about footy and just buy three kits every year! Quickest way to get rid of red kits at football practice is to put them all on the same team every week and watch them get hammered, they soon start wearing away, Barca, England kits even blue to try and get on the good team! ha ha. Sure I am turning into the teacher from Kes!

With their success we'd have dwarfed Man U in fanbase (they never did) and the world, Italians, Bulgarians everywhere would be a happier place.

If your talking actual proper fans, who go games...etc even if its only a few a year, but always know who the next game is against, there are more blues. If you mean fans as in wear shirts, might go the pub, couldn't tel you who Steve Heighway was but there dad went the match once in the 60s, there might be more of them types, but they dont count.
If I would've been born in Scouseland, there would have been no chance in hell I would've grown up as a RS. When staying in Liverpool it seems that the red edges out the blue, but considering their enormous world wide fanbase, Everton more than hold their own against the evil bastardchild.

On new years day, my sons birthday, between me, my bird,my son,my dad, my brother and my father-in-law, we outnumbered the mother-in-law 6 to 1in our house, it was great, til we got beat ffs.
My local is full of kopite barside season ticket holders, whenever a discussion breaks out i ALWAYS ask them how many times they've won the league, maybe 2 of them will know the answer, then i ask can you tell me the years for half of them wins, "bitter, s##t ground,last trophy blah blah" . Ive drank in there for ages, they've had years to find out but never have, bulbs

The way our support has held up is 'phenomenal'. We had by far the bigger support everywhere in the City when I was at school (1957-1971) and as Chang Elephant just said, if we'd have had their success after that we'd have undoubtedly left Utd, never mind the RS, in our wake support-wise as well. The RS would by now probably be surviving on 25,000 gates.
A few posts in this thread suggest a 60:40 split in favour of the RS. That means they have 50% more supporters than us in the city. Now that is plainly wrong.
