I’m in Rome next week. It is going to be in the 30s so my working plan is to find a nice air conditioned bar in a scenic place and stay in it whilst the family get heatstroke playing tourist. I might wear something identifiably Everton as a test to see if Roma fans recognise it.  Previous MessageI’ve spent quite a lot of time in Rome, and can tell that you hardly ever see the light blue there, it’s Giallorosso everywhere. Yet somehow the Nazio fans come from under their stones on matchdays, and fill the city and the Stadio Olimpico. I guess it’s much about that some groups tend to wear colours more than others. Previous MessageI always felt that when we’re at home, I don’t see many Evertonians in town that morning, unlike the city centre having loads of folk wearing replica shirts when they’re at home. But after the Southampton game, you could see the difference because we were all wearing those scarves that the club left out. So, I think it’s just a case of many blues, like myself, don’t wear club colours like they do. Previous MessageShame that's how you saw it. I imagine that most of the Liverpool fans you saw had come for the parade and stayed a while. Take it from someone who lives here. The only time you see more Liverpool fans than Everton is on match days. Tourists!!!! Pity the taxi drivers were reds, but think you were unlucky. Driving around Liverpool, close to where I live and even around Anfield, houses adorned with banners etc were sporadic. Previous MessageFirst time really back in 30 years - I've been back many times, last time for the game a few months back, but this time did the full tourist thing and really went around town and the city centre and really spent time looking around rather than just going to the game or going to my mums house etc.. I know it was the parade on Monday, we arrived on Tuesday, but is it really so much in favour of LFC rather than EFC now across the city? The LFC store was rammed on Wednesday and the EFC store in Liverpool one was basically empty and small in comparison. We had 6 taxi drivers over a few days, they all supported LFC, made jokes about Everton being based in Wales etc. Hardly saw anyone in an EFC top, no flags flying etc. Honestly, it seemed like a one club city. Loads of houses decked out in flags on Queens Drive (etc) but probably due to the bus. I don't remember it being like that when I was a teenager but looking it up on google it seems the best estimate it 2/3 of everyone in Liverpool who support a club support Liverpool. Was it always like this, has it changed due to success or immigration or whatever? Like, is it only 33% of people in Liverpool now support Everton? Loved the visit, what they have done around the docs is something else, what a city! Amazing place. Titanic hotel was really good, the rooms were genuinely awesome and massive. Shout out to the quirky corner near chinatown, well worth an hour! Cheers |
