The more posts I read the more clues I read to believe this is now a grumpy old man's support group.
Are the any contributors under say 40 years old out there, I pick 40 as my lad is 42 and the signs are there already.
Or lady contributors of any age just to see if we're a fair representation of our fans. Could we do a poll Ed 33 just for a laugh I'll let you pick the categories but as a suggestion G.O.M, Ladies, under 40.
{Ed033's Note - Posters can pick voting options for the poll if they want.

I think, in the few seasons before this latest one, we were entitled to be grumpy, Big C. We were so down and almost out. I don't believe it was the norm. Now, however, we are a lot of happy bunnies, mate. ????

Tickled me this, Big. Great post, mate.

I was young when I joined this forum, Big C. Years of neglect and relegation battles have worn me down, and all of a sudden I am a grumpy old man. At Wembley in 1995 I was the age my son is now, and the expectation was great.
Don't blame us, grumpy old men, it's not our fault. It is actually unbelievable that we have managed to live so long, given the tremendous disappointments that we have had to endure.

Stop moaning Big C. ???

I certainly meet the criteria for being grumpy, Big C, but at 39 I hope I'm not considered to fall into the old man category!

Lived this long despite far greater pressure/dangers than supporting Everton boys and girls, fact is Everton over the years has been a joy.

It doesn't matter Ed 33 it was only for a laugh, of course I have no idea how hard it is to make a poll so I appreciate all your hard work for the editing and polls that mean something

Privileged enough to live through the glory years of the 80s makes me well over 40, sadly, but a grumpy old Blue? Never!
{Ed025's Note - that still reminds me of when Grumpy Toffee was still with us Ace. I still think of him at times mate..

He's certainly missed Ed. I often catch myself thinking, I wonder what Grumpy would have thought of this or that
I'm definitely in the grumpy group. Too many years of disappointment and daft decisions from the club. The best spell we've had in the last 30 years corresponded with when I left the city for university and work so the 12 seasons I had a season ticket was mostly relegation battle after relegations battle. I missed the FA cup final as I was on a school trip away.
{Ed025's Note - tough break that BR, hopefully we will see the good times return now mate because i believe we are going places now..

{Ed025's Note - yeah he was good man GB..

It does me too Ed. Very sad when his son posted to inform us all of his passing. That day I changed my Profile from a blue ace of spades to a black one. Not changed it back and have no intention of either. Great poster never forgotten ??
{Ed025's Note - absolutely Ace..
