….ooh, that tells us then. I think I’ll still use it on occasion.

Ha Ha Ha.

"The Old Lady".

What a nu-fan description that is.

….I honestly quite like it, Dave. It’s a term of endearment, I wouldn’t get political over it.

We all have our personal memories, mine going back to 1961. Years playing for the school in the morning, going to Everton Supporters Club pre-game just wanting my Dad & Uncles to finish their ale. Running up the steep first load of Upper Gwladys St steps & then those final short climb into the open air of the Old Lady.

it’s that view I never tired of, it’s that view ithat will be my abiding memory. imagine then watching Alan Ball.

New memories to be formed at BMD.

There's no way you called Goodison the Old Lady back then.

It is at best an early 21st century idiot expression thought up by an Echo chimp with a typewriter.

….I actually remember calling it ‘Old Lady’ in 1962 walking back to my house off Everton Rd, I was 6 years old & we never owned a car. It was common terminology back then. Erm, honest.

I’ve already said earlier on it was the Independent in 1999, a national paper and journalist. But you keep with the Echo chimp line.

I’ve told him this twice and fielded a very valid question as to why we shouldn’t call it the Old Lady. I can only assume he has me on mute.

Indeed, I’ve been going for over 60 years and never referred to GP as that, nor indeed heard anyone ever refer to it in such a way. It’s been manufactured over the last 20 years…..

Why does the only positive thread / club action on this forum constantly get derailed by the same toxic user.

Correct. An utter walloper of an expression used by no one in the real world.
