Blues,

The 2015/16 season proved to be our busiest ever season since establishing in February 2007. It was our ninth consecutive year of growth so thank you for visiting, and contributing to GrandOldTeam's success.

We've always endeavored to provide the very best place on the web for fans worldwide to congregate to discuss Everton FC and as a big part of that effort, we're continually investing in servers which will make the website quicker, and considerably more stable.

Ensuring GrandOldTeam is sustainable is my biggest priority, so most of my effort is on balancing costs. I don't expect GOT to be self sustaining, but I need to ensure the gap doesn't get too great where it's too big a strain for me to fund. So, we need your continued/increased help.

How can you help support GrandOldTeam?

  • Disable AdBlock. Our sponsors have trackers on their adverts to see how many times their adverts are being loaded, which they carefully evaluate prior considering any sponsorship renewal. It's important they see an accurate representation. Our adverts are not intrusive, and in fact, having Adblock enabled is more intrusive as you see a great red box asking you to disable adblock. Please do so.
  • & Visit our advert partners. If you see a partner message on GOT that you like, please visit. They'll see the referral traffic and think we're sound.
    We also get a couple of pence every time
  • Buy with Amazon using our link. It makes no difference to the cost of what you buy but it does mean that about 5% of what you spend on Amazon comes back to us to help with the running costs of the site.
  • Register for a PaddyPower account via this link - (Gamble responsibly). You'll get a free £20 bet when you stake £10 and in return for promoting Paddy Power, we earn 20% on any profit Paddy Power make through their partnership with GrandOldTeam. So, say you stake £10 and lose, you can find some comfort knowing that £2 of that will go to supporting your lovable rogues at GrandOldTeam.
  • Upgrade your forum account. We have a 'Forum Supporter' account upgrade which is essentially, a donation system. You can pay £20 for a GrandOldTeam mug and a few more unspectacular perks.
  • Buy a GrandOldTeam mug. They're boss and make tea taste 21% better.
  • If you use Stubhub to buy a ticket (please only buy at face value or less, let's not encourage touts!) GrandOldTeam would benefit in a very small way by you using this link.
  • Booking hotel stays through Booking.com with our link.
  • Register for a free GrandOldTeam forum account and use it when browsing GOT. Stop lurking as a 'Guest'. Login ;)

if you use any of the following websites, please click through via our link first -It makes no difference to the cost of what you buy but a small % of what you spend comes back to us to help with the running costs of the site.


We're also always receptive to sponsorship opportunities with local businesses. If you have/know a business that could help work with GrandOldTeam, please give us a shout.

Thanks.

Can someone explain what's going on with the GOT site, log on and it's all new, a completely different set up then, it will change back to it's original set up, then when I change threads it go's back to the new format and so on and so on, also when in it's new format on all the posts it says click to expand but nothing happens. Is this the fault of my computer or has GOT gone all HAL and got a mind of it's own.

...I've only just noticed that the 'forum supporter' banner on my avatar has gone. I presume this is because the card I gave has been renewed. I'm still more than happy to subscribe to this fine site, just let me know how and I will provide my new card number.
