They say it's the hope that kills you but tell that to the Everton fans who surrounded The Brick on County Road.
The atmosphere outside Goodison Park was electric this afternoon before the Blues’ survival clash with Bournemouth. It felt more like a cup final than what could have been Everton’s final game in the top flight in six decades.
A chorus of chants could be heard, celebrating past glory as Evertonians screamed at the top of their voices and blue smoke filled the air. It is hard to put into words the noise and feeling before the game. It was a testament to the unwavering support Evertonians have shown in a dark two years for the club.
