The Crowd

[The Penalty Box Dancer]

Where is it you sit mate?

Because it was limbs in the Gwladys and everyone was singing the Richarlison song

To a degree Mikey but it was half hearted chanting. The atmosphere was odd last night. It was like nobody wanted to be there. Usually we get a but of urgency from the crowd when we are chasing the game but there was none of that.

I agree the performance wasn't good enough but it's not like it was 13:30 on a Sunday. It was a night game under the floodlights, something we are renowned for.

It didn’t sound great from my comfortable and warm couch I have to say.

 

[ijjysmith]

They’re hardly doing a great job of giving us anything to support, are they?

I agree with you there mate.

 

[Strikinglyhandsome1]

What do you sing about when you’re being outplayed by Watford?

 

[ToffeeLee1878]

Agree with a lot on here park end is next to useless atmosphere wise,unless their is an injustice the gwladys is relied upon totally for the atmosphere ,also when you’ve made a commitment to be at a 8pm Monday night kick off why on Earth are u leaving with 10 mins left (with injury time ) with the score only at 1-2 no matter how bad we played,delighted so many missed digne great free kick

I felt an absolute tit for jumping up and down while everyone around me politely clapped

This is one of the reasons why the atmosphere has been bad. When people around you don't cheer, sing, jump up, you'll eventually stop yourself and then become a part of the library. So stop feeling like a tit Mike and keep those limbs flying when we score.

 

[ijjysmith]

No. You can't blame the fans for this match. Disgraceful display.

Nobody is blaming them for the display of the players. That would be idiotic.

It’s a very fair comment about how quiet Goodison is.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Noticeable difference isn't it. Makes me wonder if our away fans go to our home games??

I see a lot of familiar faces both home and away, so I'd have to say yes

I am obviously with you here from my American view, but I am hoping there is a logical answer to why Goodison is a sneering hole of contempt, while our away support is over the top ready to cheer a simple pass.

 

[Strikinglyhandsome1]

It may require a drunken Kenwright to come on the pitch and ask for the 12th man. Desperate times, desperate measures.

 

[ilikecheese]

10 years ago the crowd was awesome. Totally convinced that Moyes had them playing above the sum of their parts. Every lost cause cheered.

He won over minds and a few hearts.

He made us the underdog worthy of cheers at hard work.

So weird that hard work isn't appreciated like it was 10 years ago because we spent some money.

I don’t know the answer mate.

But laughing at Watford bringing about 400 fans up and then being outsung by them isn’t great.

 

[Winslow89]

It's usual Monday night vibes though isn't it.

If STH haven't stubhubbed their ticket, they're sat there hoping it's not a repeat of Newcastle. But it was - only worse

 

[GwladysBlue]

As far as I can see he didn’t place any of the blame for the performance on the fans. He is however, 100% correct. It’s dead and the only time people want to make any noise is to fume when things start to go wrong. Celebrations for Richarlison’s goal were pathetic, such a weird atmosphere to be involved in.

I reckon you should wear a Go-pro to the next Everton game you’re at and post your celebration to an Everton goal. You must go crazy. Everyone else needs to see how it’s done.

It was, for about 10 seconds and one verse.
