Bio: 35 year old who has been going to Goodison for 30 years now and wishes we could be as good as we were in my first 7 years as a fan!  Run the NSNO site as a hobby, although it’s become a much bigger hobby than was ever planned.  In fact, when I started NSNO, I told my (then) girlfriend that if it ever out-grew the free hosting it was on, that I would just give it up.  A dedicated server and a break up later, it has survived. The site was started as a distraction from my day job, and it combined two things I liked most...

The Blue Union Response To Our Article…

March 5, 2012
By

This Blue Union response to our original article on the Everton Board and the Blue Union was originally posted in our comments section. As a policy we post all responses to our posts, but such a full and  well written reply deserved it’s own post. Perhaps conspicuous by its absence is a response to my allegation about the BU recording their meeting with Bill Kenwright (however, I definitely don’t want to focus too much on that alone). Having read through this article we’re saddened that an Evertonian feels not only the need to attack and misrepresent the actions of fellow Evertonians but also to so vehemently misunderstand the role...

Blue Union & The Everton Board: A Plague On Both Your Houses (Clean Version)

Blue Union & The Everton Board: A Plague On Both Your Houses (Clean Version)

This is a clean version of an article I posted yesterday, so that NewsNow can publish it I’ve removed the naughty words. It can’t have surprised many that Time Magazine’s Person of the Year was the Protestor. From the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street (and the ever-so-slightly comical “Occupy Detroit”) to the London riots – protests were everywhere. In Washington DC, there was even growing tumult against protests, culminating in a “March to Restore Sanity”. The atmosphere of revolt was bound to bounce over to the Premier League, but in doing so it has become ridiculous. We’ve had protests outside the ground, protests inside the ground, even protests...

60 Evertonians: #30. Stephen Maunder

S A MAUNDER Bio Pic

Bio: Stephen Maunder is a journalist and writer from Shropshire. He has been attending Goodison Park ever since a freezing 0-0 draw with Leeds United in December 1996. He has completed a thesis about the tabloid presentation of the England football captain in the last twenty years and has written feature articles for BBC News and various football blogs. You can follow him on Twitter @SlideShowsSteve.   Q1.Why Everton? It’s always been Everton and always will be. That’s how I was brought up. Sure, it’s a blessing and a curse but sometimes, just occasionally, they really surprise me and that makes it worthwhile. If for some reason I don’t...

60 Evertonians: #29. Gary Naylor

Gary Naylor Evertonian

Bio: First match was the Championship winning game vs West Brom in 1970. I am eternally grateful for having seen so many matches in those glorious years under Howard Kendall. I write, whenever I get the chance, on cricket at 99.94, Cricket on Five, Spin Cricket and Guardian Sports Network, on theatre at westend.broadwayworld.com and recently contributed a football nostalgia piece to The Blizzard. I also e-mail in to the Guardian’s Minute-by-Minute coverage of football, cricket and other sports far too frequently. I’m on Twitter @garynaylor999 if you want to get in touch. 1. Why Everton? My father brought me and my two brothers up as Evertonians. It was about...

Bill Kenwright delivers reality check & ground share hint

Bill Kenwright delivers reality check & ground share hint

There are people who inhabit an earth which is flat and where extra-terrestrials recovered from a crashed flying saucer at Roswell, New Mexico in 1947 are held captive to this day. These are probably the same people who believe that rag trade billionaire Philip Green controls, like some sort of puppeteer godfather, everything that goes on at Everton. There are others, let’s call them conspiracy theorists, who think that Bill Kenwright is involved in some sort of sophisticated long-term asset stripping operation and is quietly salting away millions, which could be spent on new players. These members of Goodison’s very own Tea-Party haven’t forced Kenwright to show his birth...

60 Evertonians: #23. Rev. Harry Ross

Reverend Harry Ross Bio: Rev. Harry Ross is the Everton club chaplain, who has been vicar of St Luke The Evangelist, next door to Goodison Park, since 1977, he is also a Trustee for the Everton Former Players’ Foundation. Q1.Why Everton? All my family were Reds, so I became the BLUE SHEEP of the family. I maintain I am the only one with any sense & I am from Merseyside! Q2. I remember standing amongst a glum chain gang of fans at Kirkdale train station in the late 90′s, we’d just been beaten at Goodison, the rain was pissing on us, and some cheeky Liverpool fans were laughing and...

60 Evertonians: 17. Liz Forster

Liz Forster Bio: - I’m a 29 year old not dull at all accountant, living in Huyton. Evertonian all my life, with a season ticket in the lower gwladys. Q1. Why Everton? Like most of us, we had no choice! My dad was a blue and as his first born it was passed on to me. My mum and dad used to run a pub and they would dress me and the pub in Everton gear for all the cup finals in the 80’s! The first game I have a memory of was Tony Cottee’s debut against Newcastle in 88/89 season. I was hooked ever since. Q2. I remember...

Michael Moore, Bill Kenwright, and the simmering email lies…

Michael Moore, Bill Kenwright, and the simmering email lies…

I have always been annoyed by Michael Moore, the left wing film maker. He annoys me because in his films he slathers the truth with a layer of slimy lies. It’s as if the central core of truth and fact isn’t enough for Moore – and he thinks he has to wrap it in myth to make it “box office”. In recent weeks a similar tactic has been employed by some Evertonians. Michael Moore positions himself as a documentary film maker, but he’s anything but. Documentary films should show the facts, should peak under the curtain and aim to show the truth. By twisting clips, subtly changing soundbites and...

60 Evertonians: #16.James Coyne

BIO: James is 23 year old from Melbourne, Victoria. He works in Media and Marketing and is a huge Evertonian. Q1. Why Everton? Umm few reasons, family connections but soccer/football wasnt that big here when I was growing up, then one night the nightly news came on and it showed this young kid becoming the youngest scorer in ‘04 at 16. Thats when I first became interested. I’d check how the blues were doing every so often but it was really 05/06 leading into the World Cup when I fell in love with football and Everton. Q2. I remember standing amongst a glum chain gang of fans at Kirkdale train...
