I live in Berlin and went to see the Berlin derby earlier this year. FC Union, the perennial underdogs, were away at Hertha Berlin in the 80,000 capacity stadium. I was with me mates who were Union fans and their vocal support was incredible: singing all the way through thick and thin, always cheering, always offering encouragement. No negative shouting after their team made mistakes.
Such amazing positive joyful atmosphere at simply being there to support their team, almost as if the result was secondary to the occasion.
Union actually won that day...there is a very interesting history of the club available online for those who like a good football read (in short, their fans saved the club from going bust by volunteering to help out building their stadium...literally they're on the building site getting their hands dirty, becoming great friends amongst themselves in the process...pretty amazing).
Point is that we Evertonians are seduced by a rich history and a Premiership culture which demands results. We easily get negative when things don't go our way. FC Union showed me that the unconditional love we feel for our club need not manifest itself in angst and worry, it is in fact a very joyful and communal experience. The palaver over money, tactics, personalities and results is secondary to the simple joy of supporting our team play football.

Here is one study finding us the 4th loudest in the Prem;
And here is another;
Carry on...
And here is another;
Carry on...
One study had us 4th, another 5th in loudest - one reported us to the most consistent.
Not sure why the likes of 188-188 would want to lie mate.
Well last season we sang against Man U, L'pool and Man City other than that we hardly sang so unless they are just going off them 3 games, the atmosphere at football must be shocking to have us that high. How good do you think are fans are?
The first study was all season, the second was "Decibel meter readings taken across home matches for all Premier League teams during August and September,"
Right ok but what is your opinion on our support?
Evidently contrasting to your opinion that Everton fans are 'poor'.
HEADSHOT.
