rubecula Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I remember a time when I never missed a single game I went no matter what, come rain or shine, Mow I can only sit at home and watch it on the telly box. It occured to ne how lucky I actually am ... I have seen us okay for real in good times and in bad. I feel for the folks who have never seen us k=lift a trophym or even felt the atmosphere of a great game, often at night in a dark windswept arena. I love Toffeetalk for allowing others to share our dreams and memories of the past. Keep it up to the lads like me who have seen sadness and greatness and to others who have yet to sample these delights, keep the faith we will be great again and hopefully you will be there to cheer us home. pete0, nyblue23 and Shukes 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gwlad Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 Hear hear. I wouldn't say I feel lonely when watching on the box. I understand others feeling the same agonies and (sometime) ecstasy. All thanks to TT. Going to Goodison on Saturday it will be good to be there it's been a while. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted January 15, 2018 Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I've usually got the game on the PC now, so I can have one screen with the game and the smaller one with TT. It's not the same as sitting next to someone in the pub or the game, but it's as good as I can get here in Switzerland rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Aidan Posted January 15, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 We're lucky to be on such a good forum. I've been a member of 1 or 2, and spectator on several more over the years and this one for me is the best one by a country mile. Feels like home. pete0, MikeO, Quinn31 and 7 others 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Romey 1878 Posted January 15, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 15, 2018 I hope all of our foreign fans get over for at least one game before the Grand Old Lady closes.

I’d say move to NYC, because there are a load of us, but, you know, don’t, because who wants to pay $2k a month for a 2-bedroom apartment. But do visit. You’ll always have a shitty couch to sleep on and a bathroom to share with 7 others in Brooklyn. 6 hours ago, Romey 1878 said: I hope all of our foreign fans get over for at least one game before the Grand Old Lady closes.

I am determined to make it over in the next two years or so; just gotta figure out how. markjazzbassist 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently have a deposit on Everton USA's trip to Goodison for the Derby and also City in the prior weekend, but I may have to cancel. I have a few other vacation opportunities, so this may not be the right year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
