This just sums up lack of rivalry in scouseland

Look at the poll on the top...and the way they are discussing it...can you even imagine the idea that we would have to share a ground with the rags and what our feelings would be about it...the mind boggles

Madness ain't it??

A number of years ago when L'Pool played Everton in the FA Cup semi-final at Maine Road, the flocked into Manchester withoput a hint of trouble. No gangs, no fighting, a lot of banter and singing but not an aggrssive act against each other.
Their philosophy was simple..."I may be football but we are all scousers."

Funny enough, Manchester of the 40s and 50s was similar. City fans would happily watch City one week and the rags the next when we both shared Maine Road. Thr rivalry in Manchester, as we now know it really only cemented itself with violence the 60s.

Up and until then it had had a similar philosophy to the scousers.

Only 13 people have voted Yes - I wouldn't have thought that was representative of the feelings of Everton fans as a whole.

13 people out of 18 votes so far? I would say as an inclination that's pretty conclusive

John, my boss a life long Leeds fan tells me when he was a kid he can always remember being at Elland road when City came , and standing around him every year were the same City supporters in amongst all of the Leeds supporters , having a laugh and a bit of banter. I think most games were the same in them days it was the late 60's and the 70's when the violence set in. I would hate to have to share a ground with anyone though. The ground is the heart of the club.

Regardless, it shows shit form from them.

Just imagine us ground sharing with rags. Just imagine.

I think it went really bad because rags' younger fans couldn't handle being 2nd rate compared to us , Leeds, scousers etc & also Allison used to wind them up like fuck. Then that nasty cunt Docherty became rags manager & took it to a newer nastier level actively encouraged hatred & made excuses for their violence. Rags became a magnet for hooligans like they're a magnet for tourists now & we fought back heavily. I wouldn't be surprised if the same thing happens in the coming years once we become consistantly better than them. Whole thing became fashion throughout the country though.
