Is South Liverpool The RS Part Of The City?

[JelavicBrate2]

Yes it's true, I think it's about religion historically. Areas like Crocky, Noggsy, Scotty Road, Canny Farm and Kirkby have always been blue areas and Irish Catholic areas. South End more C of E, but I think religion is just a coincidence, and for whatever reason areas like Speke, Netherley and Halewood have always been Red areas. I also think Liverpool have always appealed to armchair fans, even in 70s and 80s they got poor attendances compared to United who were crap. They've always been fair weather fans who disappear when they are doing poorly.

South Enders are in the vast majority of cases Kopites. The phone ins underline it, and Everton's season ticket heat map is just a massive blob concentrated in the North End of Liverpool.

I grew up in Croxteth where I would say there were more blues than reds. I now live in Dingle where I would say there are more reds but still plenty of blues, as with anywhere in the city most of the blues go the game and the reds are mostly 'you can't get a ticket' types.

Didn't they always used to smugly call Wembley 'Anfield South'?

So yeah - 'South Liverpool', that'll be where to find them

This was what I was going to say: there’s plenty of RS near me in the south, but they don’t go the game, whereas lots of the blues do.

Aldo "country",think I may have spelt that incorrectly Probably where all the legions of RS taxi drvers in the city reside who always glory in telling you when you are trapped in the cab they are a massive red although the last time they set foot in the gaff was around 1976 when Heighway was on the wing for them

Approx 5700 'L' post code ST holders isnt it - and thats a way bigger area than just S Lpool

The rs are like rats, you're never more than 3 foot away from one wherever you are.

I always thought it was 10 feet so it goes to show that the RS are even worse than rats

I grew up in Speke between the ages of 8-21 and I am struggling to remember many Blues outside my own family. It was the opposite when I lived in Everton as a young kid.

Oddly enough I have known more Blues across North Cheshire - Widnes/Runcorn/Warrington/Frodsham - since I moved out of the city, but I suppose it's logical after the clearance programmes in the 1960s and 1970s.

Went to fleetwood once, think I got the same tram back.

About this glory hunting thing. Can we really call supporting a club, that's only won one league title in the last thirty four years glory hunting?
