Winning football spikes GP crowds

"Hoofball" was not a choice but a necessity, tumbleweed blowing around empty seats at Goodison was the economy not a verdict on the Goodison snooze fest.

I wonder what theory they'd come up with today – an abnormal number of lottery winners on Merseyside perhaps?

My theory is that three thousand fickle Evertonians have decided to rejoin the loyal die-hards.

(NB: They decide to show-up only when the bandwagon shows signs of improvement).

I know plenty of real diehards who never missed a game home or away for years who have chucked it and then gone back. I have been on the verge myself at times under Moyes and Kenwright.

This season at times the football has been a vast improvement on years gone by but recently it has started to revert back to the hoof. Fans can do as they please with thier money; if what they are being served isn't up to much, how does it make them fickle for voting with thier feet?

A lot of Evertonians feel cheated every time they set foot in Goodison Park because of Kenwright's antics but they turn up anyway. You must be some sort of super fan who transcends what it means to be a football supporter...

God, I wish I was like you, Super Kev.

Come on — no single Evertonian is superior to another, they all pay their money so they can choose to support the club in whatever way they like. Even when people choose not to attend Goodison, they still remain attached emotionally to the club and want the team to do well.

I'd be more worried if there were fewer diverse views and less people with an opinion on the club. It is a major club with many supporters and therefore many different types of people. If people want it be a Waltonesque experience, then that's fine... but, like all families, there are vested interests but at the end of the day the family gets together because of a shared goal.

Nigel Adkins is now available for any managerial jobs that come up, having been ousted at Saints.

Also sorry if I came across as a bit aggressive in my previous post. Didn't mean to have a dig, just having a crappy day at the office!

Our football has noticeably dropped in recent weeks apart from the Chelsea game and we need at least two decent squad members to raise our standard back to its best. The fans will fill Goodison Park if they are sufficiently entertained; let's face it, they have consistently been above 30,000 when the football was dross. They deserve to get value for money and support from the board to make sure it is there.

If it had been scheduled for tomorrow it would probably have been postponed.

One thing about our chairmen, against the very many negatives, he has been loyal to Moyes, and rightly so imo (although tbf, there have not been many times during Moyes' reign when a sacking has been a realistic possibility). How much money has that saved us in compensation?

May benefit us on Monday as well... I expect the dressing room, and the fans, aren't happy.

There were times, particularly last season pre-Christmas when I dreaded going to the match
I admit I went out of loyalty and habit and sat through some utter dross that made me long for the halcyon days of Tiger Mclaughlin and Mick Bernard.

As Barry says, we had several discussions re not needing a billionaire backer to pass the ball accurately etc. I accept Moyesey has a couple of more highly-skilled players than he had pre-Christmas 2011 but there has definitely been a change from knife to shotgun when he tools up for gunfights lately.

I reserve the right to moan and whinge when I see Everton teams playing unskilled, industrial, clueless football — just glad I've not had to do that this season.

When a new manager is appointed before the old one is even out the door, it shows a total lack of respect to me. It has obviously going on for weeks, more likely they've been in talks since he was sacked 2 months a go and were just waiting for any pathetic excuse to sack Adkins.

If the Southampton players can motivate themselves through this bizarre chain of events then all power to them. (not on Monday though)

Teams do often improve with a new manager but usually that team has been crap beforehand, Southampton were just getting it together?

This along with Walcott's £3 million signing on bonus again puts football in the 'sometimes I wish I had a life with more interesting things to do so that I could fuck football off and not care about it' frame of mind.

Being Blue makes it almost impossible though!

Average ticket price - £30 to take account of kids and dads and different category matches.

Means all the extra gives us £1,200,000 extra to spend on players and wages. Not much available for that amount.

Even if the ground had been full, it would only give us an extra £4m extra revenue per season. Seems extra attendances are not the way to solve the financial problems
