As a Garston boy I can categorically stat that ain't the case....there were as many of us as there were of them.
But I am loving your description of the river as a "wool moat"....

Its a scientifically researched map Barney. Well done there.
You see, going back before our time, it wasn't geography which determined a fellow's football allegiance in this city.
It was religion.
As a rule, Catholics supported Everton and the Proddy Dogs (as we called them when we were kids) went for Liverpool.
That had all changed by the time I was going the match and anyone of my vitage will remember the chants of "Cel-tic"/ "Ran-gers" in the Gwladys as people of all religions and none supported wumever they wanted to.
So I suppose that there may have been pockets of one team or another in the old style row housestreets or tenement blocks in the like of Dingle or Scotty Road or Netheton Road where Prods or Catholics had their own areas before the urban regeneration post WW2.

& there are loads of us here. I personally know of 15 season tickets on this estate alone, and it's not a big estate either.

Arl fella grew up in Broad Green on Bowring park Rd but they all had to move out due to CPO's when they were building the M62, he lived on 1 side but their Garden stretched all the way to the Railway Lines on the other side, the signal box was at the end of their garden.
Loads and loads of Everton support from the wool areas. Staunch too.

Just not correct. Methodist club at the start, good Catholic fanbase developed in the 50's (?) when we had loads of Irish internationals on the books, but religion was never the determining factor.
