Just found the 84/85 colour handbook, had a leaf through and had a good giggle at the optimism of youth on the back page. I enjoy reading the casual pride of the time of the stadium. Sorry I can't work out how to embed the pics, so you'll have to be super lazy and click on them.

we rarely did then.
someone posed a question after we played at Sunderland on a boxing day, of how far you needed to go back to find a game that beat the attendance at Goodison, excluding Derbies, Bayern Semi, v QPR when won the league you get the jist ...'normal game'

You had to go back to about 1973

We averaged 40'000 when the bus strike was on, not many car owners in those days, but it was affordable, a club had to survive on a to gate monies, and the odd millionaire backer nowadays you need Sky, and a billionaire - the players get Hollywood star wages unlike yesterday year!

Thing is, the official attendances at GP in the 70s and 80s were a total joke.
