But yet Everton also have quite a lot of "tourists" who watch their games.......David Moyes has admitted that himself in an interview.

Maybe, but not as many as Liverpool & United.....There was a survey conducted not so long ago which had Liverpool and Man Utd as the highest percentage of long distance supporters for home matches, and Everton & Newcastle with the highest percetage of hometown followers (obviously the survey was done before Newcastle were relegated).

Hardly surprising is it given their success over the years.

As this thread is going down the glory hunter, people's club, blah blah blah route I should just point out that those of us from Warrington who support any club from Liverpool or Manchester may consider them our local clubs, there are A LOT of United fans from Manchester and Liverpool fans from Liverpool who consider us all a bunch of glory hunting out of towners. Trust me - I know!

giggs has performed at the top of his game for nearly two decades,he is a fine role model of what a professional sportsman should be.for many years he has done an enormous amount of charity work as well,he is a worthy recipient of this award.

Correct...
I dont go to Anfield anymore...too Expensive and the sport on the whole is crap , but one of the things I hated about the place most was the scousers....

when The new stadium plans were first shown to the fans I had the privelige of hearing a true scouse conversation in the bogs in the kop...
"an I tell youse when de do de new kop day should only sell tickets to fans wid a liverpool postcode.. no more day trippers or cockney reds"



I guess they dont reallise if they only allowed scousers in they could actually reduce the size of anfield by a fair bit and still have plenty of room to mince about...

and Ive plenty more experience of stuff like that

Well I'm glad you don't go because I go all the time and one of things I hate most is so-called Liverpool fans who hate Scousers. Don't follow their football club then!

LOL That made me laugh. Surely the scousers were also continuing with their ever present, tiresome, we were once great, woe is me tirades?

Birkenhead has a CH postcode and St Helens has a WA postcode yet both are in Merseyside aren't they?
Plus don't they realise that people move around ?

What's Merseyside (whatever that is) got to do with it? If someone comes from Birkenhead, then Tranmere would be the obvious team to support.

probably what Benitez will be saying in a year or so

i voted for Giggs, but not because hes a footballer but because he played junior RL for Folly Lane in Swinton. He was a fantastic Stand off, seen him play many times against Andy Farrell who played for Orrell St James. Giggs was a natural at RL he had a great side step and pace to burn, never missed a tackle and kick goals from all over the park. Would easily been a GB international and you'd never have heard of Harris if he'd carried on but football came along and offered him trials- guess if you look at it in financial terms he made the correct decission.
Got my voted as there was no other RL players in the short-list and he was the nearest to it.
BTW seen him in the away stand a couple of times at Your stadium when Salford have been there, keeps himself to himself.
