The Blue Union has to continue to apply pressure and keep the board’s misdemeanours in the public eye, but ultimately it is now surely the case that the only real catalyst for change is to stop attending matches.
Next season’s application form for season tickets should be ripped up and sent back to the club.
Gaping holes in the crowd, and a large downturn in revenue, is the most telling sign of trouble possible. As many a tabloid columnist would opine, ‘it’s the only language they understand’.
I wish I could be there tonight but I live in London and I am getting a total hip operation in a couple of days. Like thousands of Everton fans I am totally dismayed as to what on earth is going on at the club.
Tactics on the pitch get more negative every week. To be honest I was duped by the cuddly Bill persona and felt great to know we had a fan at the helm. That feeling was completely dispelled when I saw the clip on YouTube – some Blue Union lads asking him relevant questions about the state of the club.
His skulking replies and body language was that of a rogue car salesman – I am not in the Blue Union but i would be if I lived in Liverpool. Everton are in BIG trouble unless something is done fast.
It is past the time when the lies, deceit, incompetence and contempt for the fans is replaced with some honesty, business savvy and a will to develop the club.
Unfortunately Bill Kenwright and so called “friends of Everton” have brought the club to it’s knees yet still will not relinquish control.
He must be forced out and BU is the only vehicle that looks able to achieve this.
Well done lads.
I have supported EFC all my life(50 years +) I’ve even saddled my southern softie kids with the EFC burden as well !! I have seen some dire times, but I’ve also been fortunate to see some great times. I always respected BK and was made up when he got shot of PJ. We should have been the envy of all clubs having a Chairman who was such a die hard Blue. Surely he wouldn’t let anything happen to his ‘beloved Blues’ would he?
Despite being a total knob on the telly, I was always grateful that he bigged up EFC every time he spoke. However, the goings on that we have witnessed these last few years, (Kings Dock fiasco etc etc.) and his recent attitude towards genuine Evertonians has left me thinking that he has no intentions whatsoever of giving up his position. He is in total denial. We can only wonder what is going through his head. His bird must be giving him right grief !! I’m sorry Bill but yopur time is well and truly up. Do yourself a favour. If you love the club……. Good luck tonight boys, you surely must be turning the corner now and getting the doubters on board. Wish I was there.
I think consideration needs to be given to impacting on Bills theatres business. We want him pressured and Everton not to be affected – that is a possible solution to both. discuss….
Hi – sorry cannot attend tonight.
Question – re the next protest. Will a more professsional video be made ie getting an over view shot on Goosison Road (using steps) etc – maybe contact a video company in Liverpool (Evertonians ?).
Also either New Megaphone or portable speaker – could not hear Dave Kelly 4 rows back.
A tad trivial in the circumstances I know but important none the less.
Please let me know re Video as if no takers I will get involved.
Good luck tonight

Just a final point I’d like to make – whats all this 4th most succesful club bit – we are the most successful – 4 seasons outside the top flight needs to be bigged up compared to the rest of them. Don’t dumb down on Everton.
Would just like to pass on my thanks to all the guys involved in The Blue Union. As an exiled Blue down south I used to travel to Goodison every home game but this year have become one of the missing 6000 on the gate. The club has not only stagnated under Kenwright’s stewardship but it has started to go backwards and until it changes afraid trips to goodison have become a thing of the past. I will continue to support any actions for change in anyway I can. Family connections at Sky Sports News and other free lance sports journalists so can do all I can to highlight our plight to them.
Re: Protests
Why not protest outside Park End? More room, not congested in terms of bystanders standing on either side and sends a message to those at the ‘entrance’ to the club.
Also, time to take the protest INSIDE the ground (after the match) – possible sit-ins perhaps?
Well done boys, immensely proud of everyone’s efforts. Nobody can fault what you’ve achieved in such a short space of time.
Question on the role of the Shareholders Association and what their position is. As far as I am aware they have not made a comment either for or against the current board?
I wish I could be there tonight boys, but I’m working. Doing fantastic guys, not just demanding them out, but a logical, well presented argument to open the opinion of what is happening at our wonderful club.
Are we taking the protests inside the stadium any time soon?
Hi lads, sorry I can’t be there. How to you aim to sway the large section of the fanbase that occupies the middle ground neither pro or anti-BU? Dave
Good shout Dave Kelly, let the board and Bill start showing us facts and not just spin and lies. EFC board get ready because the peasants are revolting.
@ Danny Williams – Looks like that is an issue raised tonight.
I really hope The Blue Union can get the board at our club out we are a real laughing stock now.
Where is all of our money going?
How about getting a plane or something to fly over Goodison and have a Kenwright out message? A bit like KEIOC did.
Well done to all of those who attended, I unfortunately live in the Midlands so getting to Liverpool midweek is difficult, I do attend home games and games when the Blues visit Villa etc, up until 3 months ago I was on the fence with this, I had the be careful what you wish for attitude. But not anymore, the buffoon that is Mr Kenwright needs removing from his post ASAP. See you all at the City game. COYBU!!!!
Well done tonight. Keep the pressure on. COYB
Thought it was a good meeting, some good ideas put across, we need all other Blues to get off the fence and see, look at the facts, look at the lies, and look at what has happened to our club.
It’s 93-94 season all over again, we need to act, and we’re not Kopites for caring about and wanting to protect the club we all live for
the comment about the club blowing us out the water by signing a £10 million striker ,we know its not gonna happen , the point being made was that the bu have got to set the wheels in motion for a protest , if by tuesday nothing has happened then surely the people sitting on the fence will see what is going on and join the protest ???
Great work everyone engaged in this. Although there was not a shout of support from the “Norwegian Blues” tonight, I am absolutely sure they are right behind you.
I live in Devon now and can’t get to see many games now but I remember meeting BK once on a train back from Wembley after the first League cup final game against Villa. He was chatting away with a group of us and we all swapped stories of favourite players, games etc. You could not meet a more passionate Blue loving our great club. Now, when I see (the car park conversation) and read all the stories about the King’s Dock and Kirby fiascos. it saddens me to see how he has become the one person dragging us nearer extinction ( Yes it is getting that bad )and he cannot see that it is his and the board’s actions that is squeezing the life out of us. Please Bill, do the right thing and step aside and leave with some dignity and our club might still have a chance to survive. Don’t forget Bill, we are all “born, not manufactured” supporters of the greatest club in the world.
Work in Hamburg stopped me attending last night. Best of luck with everthing, hope to be at next protest.
I hope that we dont sign anyone this transfer window,, yes i have just said that because we need the people that are aka: sittin on the fence to start too open there eyes. we cant wait till the summer when we have the same thing happen as last. because we will go down next season. were as this season there is teams worse than us(just). we need pressure on bill an his boys now, lets get the protest in the ground.We need the national press to take notice.
we all need to get behind the blue union now, because i believe that we will never sell the club the way things are going, because who wants to buy a club over priced, with a stadium just passing health and safety checks, a club that dont own their training ground, that have sold out to kit-bag for 3million a season for ten years, season tickets are already paying for a 20 year loan and a club that makes no profit an his in 25-50 million debt. if we put so much pressure on kenwright, then in the end he will be forced to lower his asking price. maybe we won’ t find a buyer, but the days of doing nothing are over.
Sat on the fence over this if you are a true blue please Kenwright sort this mess out before it’s too late.
