 Welgo yn y Toffy TV, join byt Bridget who's one of our Patons. She's an overseas Evertonian. She's literally come over the sea to be here. This is the only pointy trip, really, on this trip.

My brothers would come over every year and it was kind of like the honeymoon period when they first came over and then we just fought like cats and dogs you know the rest of the time. And so we always had this sort of y yng Ngheirio Iwngyang relationship and I was being brought up by my mother and my grandmother. Football wasn't in my life. And but I remember distinctly sitting in the kitchen my mom and my grandma, talking and nine, 90, my grandma said to my mother, I don't know about organising these trips of the boys to Anfield, and my mum's like, well, why? And she said, well, Herbert would roll over in his grave. Well, I'm there, little ears, perk up, Herbert being my grandfather. So I'm like, why would grandpa not like that? We're Everton in our family right then. So not only did I have something to fight with my brothers about, but I had the family team. And so from that point on, I was an Evertonian. I don't know that I really knew what that meant. And there's no way they were letting me come to a match. So I never got to see us, so you'd catch it on the news, you'd read it in the papers, got a little bit older, got a little bit more into it, still couldn't get to a game. And then started dating, got a boyfriend, Liverpool fan. I know, I know. Well, I didn't know better. He was good looking, you know, anyway. So he took me, bought me tickets to go to the FA Cup final to watch us watch the Watford. That was my first game. And it was funny, I was on with the Bobblers on a podcast with the Bobblers and I had thought it was the friendly final. That was my first game. But then I found all my ticket stubs and it wasn't. It was Watford. So we went, all my games were at Wembley, like my first three or four games were all Wembley, it was a pretty good start. Then I came to university here in the city, started going, didn't tell my mum. Sorry, mum, started going to games and then I got smart and I got an Everton boyfriend. So I had someone to take me. So got the season tickets, went to all the home home games, summer way. Mostly though, we'd go to watch the reserves. You know how they used to have like the second team play. So like the Anfield, we'd go go watch the reserve game. And and then, you know, this so put it in mind, this is 1985 onwards. I know the best times. So yeah, and we went to summer way games. So I mean, I was there, you know, the first league. I was there through the Lineca year and the following year. And I think people talk about all the games they remember. And I'm not good at that. And I think it's because I'm short. I don't know how many actually saw me. I was in the Gladys Street and so Cliff, my boyfriend, who I'm actually going to be seeing later today, we've stayed in touch. OK, his wife knows. I'm Tracy and my husband knows as well. No, we've stayed in touch and which is great. But he and our friend John, they were like my bodyguards and they would literally hold on to me. So because, you know, that was in the terrorist days, right? So when the crowd would surge, I would have bruises on my back from them grabbing a hold of me, because otherwise I'd land up at the front. But the best the best game, the game I remember best was when we won the league at Norwich. Yeah. And so we drove down was what, seven hours. We took forever, scarves out of the windows, great trip down, even better trip back. But the funniest part of that whole story was my car had just been stolen. I had a Ford Escort and that was when if you had a Ford Escort and Liverpool, you might not have had it the next week. So it left, left the family. So my mum lent me her brand new Peugeot 205. And the rule was you've got the car as long as you don't leave the city. Nice, yeah. So I drove to Norwich. Which is a little bit outside the city, just a bit. To go watch us win the league, because that was important. Yeah, well, it was to be fair. But we got a speeding ticket. So my mum did find out. So anyway, but we won the league. She was happy that we won the league. So it was a good story. But yeah, so I left in 1989. So clearly it's all my fault. I was going to say so potentially you're the reason why we've been a bit rubbery since. Potentially. So maybe now I've been back for a month and it's all going to change now. So obviously you've got some great memories because we were fantastic during those years. It was wonderful. So where did you go from here then? So I went to the States to go be a nanny because I just wanted to travel. So I went to Washington, D.C. And, you know, that was pre-cell phone, pre-internet. I mean, I'm a teacher now and I tell the kids all the time, you know, we didn't know what was happening and they're all like. Yeah, can't believe it. Can't believe it. So my mum would send me newspaper copies and actually we found some old photos. I've been with my mother. She's getting on a little and we're helping clear the house and things. And we found a photo of my Everton shirt hanging on the wall in my little apartment in Washington, D.C. Still don't know where that shirt went. Anyway, so did my best, but it wasn't on TV. No way. And they used to open the bars at like seven o'clock in the morning for the FA Cup final and we would all line up in the back because it was an illegal feed and we were very excited. And in fact, the game, the Everton Liverpool game, there was a famous time that I don't know who she was, this little English girl smashed a light in a bar and was never forgotten because I punched when we scored a goal. Anyway, but, you know, good times, good times. But I was in D.C. and that's where I met my now husband, Paul, and he was in the American Army. So we travelled quite a lot. And again, just sort of really lost touch with my Everton. And I mean it was like, yeah, Everton fan. Didn't know what was going on, set for the abuse my brothers will give me every now and again. You know, you ignore that. Nice, yeah. Yeah, you've got it. And then about six years ago, I met the Atlanta Evertonians as we moved to Atlanta and met the Atlanta Evertonians. And actually it was a Liverpool fan who told me about them. So there seems to be some weird little connection there. Taxi driver, Peter, taxi driver, driving me to Manchester Airport and he said, you know there's a group of Atlanta Evertonians and he knew someone who knew someone. So as soon as I landed back there, I literally tweeted, got in church, got the contact information. And first game was the Derby game. And I hate to call it this, but the pick for goal Derby. Yeah, but anyway, sad day, but great event. Had a few drinks. And the story was they kept wondering who this loud person was, new person in the group. And they were like, they all said, they all said, she's probably something really nice, like a teacher or something like that. But it was wonderful and I'd found my people again. And I've been very faithful ever since and do what I can to help Steve run the group and grow the group and the Atlanta Evertonians were quite a group. And now we've got the USA toffees growing and Tony Samson's been leading that charge. And it's really, really grown. Yeah, we have told me on quite regularly and I do speak to Tony, he's done a fantastic job doing that. Obviously, a sculpture, but he's moved over to Chicago and he's got involved with that group there and it is brilliant. But so, do you go and watch the games together? Yeah, it's that one. Every single game. Yep, sometimes at 7.30 in the morning. It's going to say it's here, yeah, five hours. We always laugh because, you know, it was always... It's changing, but there was always that feeling of you couldn't really be an Evertonian unless you lived here. And now it's begun to change a bit, which is nice. But I mean, it's 45 minutes from my house to the pub. And so we'll go to those 7am games, we'll go to those 8am. New Year's Day, 7am. Oh, we love those early starts on New Year's Day. And my husband has become an Evertonian. Excellent. Yes. And so he's bought his new shirt today. So that was good. But you know, he's not quite as excited as I am on New Year's Day at 7.30. Probably not. But he takes one for the team. I mean, New Year's Day, I just say the very brief story. My lad was picked to be a mascot on New Year's Day a couple of years ago. Three years ago, I think it was. We played Leicester. So at first, New Year's Day, brilliant. Leicester City moved half-twelve kick-off on New Year's Day. And we get the thing, it's got to be a good listen for half-eight. Right. Brilliant. He comes to good listen. He loves it. Great, you know, goes and meets the players. And you go around and get pitches when you can and all that. We get in, he's there, meets them all. There's a few of them, meets all the players. And we're stood on the side of me, me misses. And it's such a weird feeling there when you're on the side and the ground's full because I'm normally in my seat, you know. So you're looking down. We walk through, me get walked through, the Leicester fans. And up, we were in the upper bullens in the corner because Leicester only come the bottom. Me misses never been to again. I'm not interested in football, that's all. Which is great because it means there's not two of us. Right. And a little fella moaning in the night. And we go low and be old, we get beat 1-0 Jamie Vardish because the winner and it was rubbish. The game was probably one of the worst games of football I've ever been to. So needless to say, me misses has never ever wanted to go back. The only other game she's been to actually was Orlando City versus Atlanta United. There you go. I remember in Florida last time I took her and Orlando lost the game 1-0. Yay. It's yourself, Martina's, with the goal. But, yeah, put those at New Year's Day. So it was bad enough for me getting up, having had a couple of, you know, having family round and we went to bed late, but we have to do that. You know, up at that time, a lot of times just, and then drive 45 minutes to go to a pub. That does take some commitment. It does and there's a pretty big group. And the pub's great too and they opened up especially for us when everything got closed down for COVID. They opened for us as a private event and so we would go in and we all had to sit apart and wear our masks and all that, I mean, for the sake as much as anything. But, yeah, I mean, we're a pretty faithful crew and it's really fun. I know and there's such a mix and we've got our expat Brits and we've got our Americans and it's a really distinct mix and the negative ones are typically the British ones and the positive ones are the American ones because I always say I was cursed with being an optimistic blue. I mean, I'm just naturally a very optimistic person. That's good. I think so too and so Steve Landie, who is our, in case he watches this, amazing chairman, absolutely amazing, he always says it's not natural. He's like, she's so, she's always saying, it's going to be okay. You know, I'm like, yes, they played crap, but did you see that pass? Because that pass showed promise and next time he's going to, and I mean, it wasn't that far off and you know, we were supposed to go here. I know it went out, but you know, they just was miscommunication. It's all right, so that's me. That's the teacher in you coming out though, yeah. It's good to be optimistic. I don't know whether I'd be buying that at times when we were getting to be five nil buying. Yeah, well, I can't say I was particularly optimistic on that. I mean, there's reality too. Yeah, of course, but that's always good to be optimistic before and because I think otherwise. What's the point? Is Steve American or is he an expat? Oh, he's an expat. Yeah, I was going to say, because that was from witness. Yes, from witness. Fair enough. So he's talking over there and spread the word. Is it growing? Yeah, I mean, it really was and then COVID. Obviously COVID. So, but it is and I think it's going to keep growing. There's much more outreach and now the club's doing a lot more and I've been lucky. Tony's invited me to be part of those discussions and talking to the club and people at the club and hearing their vision and really talking with the new guy from Florida and talking to Pulse Entertainment and their plans. It's pretty exciting, you know, and you hear a chat about Everton haven't done enough over there. Well, maybe they haven't, but that's what it was. You know, you can't keep honing in on what happened. There's always got to be a start and point as in. And the absence, let's be honest, we've missed huge opportunities. Tim, I would have said that. Yes, they missed opportunities, but it's only in the last, having someone who's lived there, three to five years that it's taken off. I mean, you know, it's happened where you are. People weren't interested. I was going to say, because Atlante United, quite a new franchise, really, I think they were four, four years old now, I think, three, four season this one, isn't it? Last year was the third, yes. Yes, so this is the fourth season they're in now and obviously they play a huge stage in 75,000. The first season was good for a foot and then the second season we won everything. Yes, and it sort of... But then lost Joseph Matty. Yes, once he got injured. But we still won like a cop, you know. Even under Dabor, look, we could win something under Dabor. Under Dabor, yes. That's an achievement right there. Whether it's in spite of him or because of him. All right, let's not go there. No, that's a flip of a coin. But obviously that Elmeron, didn't you? Played plays like that. No, Miggie was a... A new you knew when you lost him and he was so far above everything else on the field. I mean, it was ridiculous. Maen nhw ar Elmeron. And Joseph Matty. And they were like a... It was kind of like a Bain's Pina. I was like, you didn't think they even had to look at each other. They just knew, didn't you? They just knew. And they were just so far ahead of everything else. I mean, you would just see them decimate sides. And even, you know, I didn't know how many people would do. Even with Bragg Eusioningol. I mean, to be fair. Yeah, yeah. And, you know, and then Miggie comes here and I was interested to see how he would do with the rough and tumble of the Premier League. And when he was allowed to play and he was let loose, he's fast. He's a good player. It is difficult because it's such a physical league, the Premier League and the quality shop. But he can hold people off much more than he looks. You know, he looks a bit lightweight, but he's not. But it's that, so that's kicked that in. And he can go down with the best of them, you know. So that's really kicked off that interest, then. It's made a huge difference. And people are still picking their Premier League team. And just, you know, the Everton way, if anyone makes a mistake of putting that on Twitter, that full person probably needs to change their handle because they're going to have 50,000 Evertonians on them. Telling them that they were actually chosen to be blue. They just didn't know it yet. Yeah. Well, that's the thing. I mean, John, something John Blano, he says, is there's Evertonians. You don't know the Evertonians yet. And I guess in those places, that's where the club, and it was she and kind of this, aren't we, with this Florida club now, which is fantastic. I mean, I have, you know, those paying me to talk about the Florida club. Sorry, but do you know Everton are going to be playing in Orlando? Really? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, I'm still crying about it. No, I think it's absolutely fantastic. I think it's the two, my two favourite things made. Well, and I will, and I will tell you this that the vibe I've been getting as we've been part of the discussions and the planning and is that it's not going to be the last time. No, no. Yeah, yeah. Well, we know we'll be there, but we'll be there. But we'll be the first. As you're me and John will be, if it's in Atlanta next year, we'll be there. That would be great. But this is, this is something we've talked about. Me and Pedda talked about many a time of, and I've mentioned this to Tony and that the need for Everton to do these kind of weeks where they go to whether it's Orlando or whether it's Atlanta or whether it's Chicago or whatever. And they have a week of events where they take the kids. And the women, they should definitely take the women's team. It's difficult at the minute, obviously, but as you move forward, especially women's football in the state is huge. It's massive. Ever since I've been going to America, since 96 was the first time into Florida, I couldn't believe that. All the advertising in the supermarket was all women football. Women soccer players. It's almost like a different... It's almost like a different sport the way it took off, you know? But now what's funny is, I mean, I have a lot of friends who have been the US women's team soccer fans, but it's like that's all they watch. They don't really watch the other women's teams, but that's beginning. But then Atlanta United comes along and they discovered men's soccer. Like it's like they didn't even really know it was a thing. That was a thing. I mean, they did. That sounds stupid, but not something they would go watch. And they're like, wow, that was really fun, you know? And you've got the whole vibe, and I love it, because to me it's not like Everton. I don't sort of... If we lose, I'm upset, but we move on, you know? But we have so much fun and we get stupid. And it's this mix of the American traditions with the tailgating and the parting outside and the barbecuing and doing all that and lots of drinking and doing all that. And then you go in and then it's got the sort of South American thing with the drums and the flags and that, but then there's the English chance as well. And it's just this mishmash of cultures, which is really good fun. And I always go and forget my age, it's great. And I go stand in the supporter section and it's great. There is no sitting. You stand the full 90 and your husband waves the flags and I mean it's just great. Yeah, it is incredible. Some of the best atmospheres I've had have been at Orlando. I went where you all go and was the Camp and Wales stadium or the Citrus Bowl. You're going to be interested, the football stadium with Atlanta, the American football stadium has been great because it's always packed. But when you go to those other stadiums and you're too far away from the pitch and... But it's OK, the Citrus Bowl is OK. I went and watched Orlando there and I had all that tailgate. But the first time I went, the chairman's English was the owner of Phil Rowland's and took me down to the wall and that gave me one of those flags to wave in. It was about 90 degrees and he was going to have a go. And it was... As my husband would say... A wave that everyone was bouncing and I was like, I don't even want to go back to my seat, what's the rest of this gate? My husband was like, it's a workout. It is a workout. So I don't know if for about a minute I'm like, oh brilliant, I think that's like a sweat stripping up. But it is... So if we get a flag, you get like front row seating, right? So you sign up for the flag. I sign up for the flag and then my husband and my son wave the flag and I get the front row seating. It's a good system. But they have the people who face the crowd just to dance, not even watching again, they're just bouncing, but then again that happens into you anyway. The K-post stand, right? That's what I mean, right? So you've got all these this mishmash of cultures. So it's not Everton, but it's a lot of fun. And I get to watch live football. The defeats are easier to get over now. A lot easier. I mean, are you looking forward to seeing Everton then in the flesh in America? I'm just so damn excited. It's ridiculous. It's ridiculous. It's going to be a blast. My son's going. He has never seen Everton play in life. And he's a massive blue without ever having seen his team, you know? I mean, he's there at the pub every day. Yeah, but to see them live is an incredible thing. So he's very, very excited. And not your normal mother-son trip, maybe. But we're going to have a good time. That'll be a laugh, I'm sure. Because there's going to be a lot of blues there. Oh, yeah, yeah. Now, I understand they're almost sold out. I think the last I heard. And I think we're right next to the Arsenal section. So we've got some. We've been working on some chance and, you know, super league-type things. Yeah, give them. You've got to give them a little bit of stick. Give them a little bit of stick. Trying to ruin football. You've got to let them know. Absolutely. I don't know. Yeah, I mean. Nice intro for Rafa, though, I think. I was going to say you mentioned Rafa, but he's right at the very start. So because you've been away from it a little bit. It's different. I was going to say, because I've spoken to a few people and Ryan and James have done a video for us as well, the American trophy, saying that their perspective is different because the emotional side of it to them isn't the same as obviously us in this city. I've said many times he wouldn't have been in my church, he wouldn't have been in my top five, but I'm over it. It is what it is. The Liverpool thing, it was all the stuff for me, rather than the Liverpool thing, is what it is. But what is it, from your perspective and people you spoke to? So from people I spoke to, let's kind of start there, bit of a mix. Again, most of the Americans, exactly like you say, they're kind of like, OK, interesting. Most of them have the same kind of opinion that was mine, was I'm looking at his recent record was all I looked at, and I was like, China wasn't that great. But then I'm thinking, well... Caveat a China was though, we could only have shit and plays. Well, that's the other thing. And then he did get, like the more I read or heard about it, he got like involved in the side of things he didn't need to. So it was like he was looking for ways to increase, working with the kids and stuff. And then I'm like, he clearly doesn't need the money. So why else would he do it unless he wanted a challenge to take on? So I sort of started to turn myself a little bit more, I wouldn't go as far as positive, but it was more on the plus side. And yet you're positive? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So, and then I'm like, well, you know, what the heck? It's happened now. You know, great pressure said the right things, wasn't expecting anything else, but, you know, OK, I'm there. So, you know, and then you've got your, your balshy, your people who like, if you don't support our manager, you're not a real Evertonian. And then you've got people. If you support him, you're not a real Evertonian. I'm like, well, then I'll clearly no one's a real Evertonian then. But we've got a few of the older guys who are, I don't know, I haven't spoken to them lately because I've been here very much on the Facebook group. We're like really angry about it. Really angry. And then you've got others really angry at them for being angry. And I'm like, can't we just all get along? I mean, he's our manager. Move on. See what happens. See what happens. And I mean, hey, from what I understand, the fitness coach he's got is supposed to be one of the best. Well, we need that, don't we? I don't know that our players had that fitness, right? So I'm like, if we're going to get, because I don't think we had a bad side. We were just short of a couple of players. You know that, right? I mean, once they figured out, it didn't take long, right? We were rocking it and then like six or seven games later, teams are like, all right, all we had to do was watch the video and even Bridget noticed. They were a little weak on the, you know, and all of a sudden, right? So a couple of players short, deep in the squad, some great youth coming up. See, I told you I was a positive. Yeah, positive and organised, bit of organisation, bit of accountability, which I think you need and a bit more of a manager who wants to work a little bit harder than our previous one. Who we loved because he was, oh, it's Carl, oh, it's this book. Oh, yeah, no, I'd like to worship the ground if you walked on, I'm the first to admit it. And when the rumour started coming out, I was like, ah, two weeks ago, he said, not going. And then like 24 hours later, I'm like, what? Yeah, and then we all know. But I mean, you know, you go on social media, you see one thing and then you talk to people and you see something a little bit different. Yeah, yeah. And even Raffer said that, right? And he's into the, you know? You just said it perfectly before, he's our manager. No point stamping off and crying about it. And I thought it was hilarious that the people who wrote on the bed sheet put it on the wrong house. I mean, that says it all. Well, I mean, the irony of it was, the irony of it was, he clearly didn't know where to live. Exactly, yes. We know where you live. Oops, I'm glad I'm not the person who lives in that house. I was going to say, imagine Jamie opening his curtains. He knows where to live, you know, because it was quite clearly wasn't meant for anyone else. So we move on. Unless it was his wife who said, I know where you live. Absolutely, yeah. Well, we'll, you know, we'll see what the reaction is in Orlando. Because did you know they're coming to Florida? I think, yeah. I hadn't heard that, yeah. But I think it might be a gentler entree for him, potentially. Yeah, well, listen, we went both games three or four and he lifts the Florida Cup. Well, all it will have to happen is the Arsenal fans to have come up with someone and sing something to us about him being a Liverpool person. And we'll want to shout them down and all of a sudden we'll love him. You know how it works. Yeah, well, the bedsheet turned a lot of people towards my ironically, so well played. Maybe it was this assistant manager. I like to be in this assistant manager saying, I know where you live, Rapha. He's made up, just don't forget me, who knows. But no, I think it's going to be fun. For all those blues over there, I think it's going to be absolutely brilliant. I think it's great by the club, to be honest, to get over there. It's way overdue, but like you said, you've got to start somewhere. Yeah, and we've all aware that they have to bubble. We're going to have very limited contact with your team. I mean, in my case, I won't have any, because I think it'll be between the first game and the second game, and I'll be gone by then, because of that whole work thing. I know. Not great. Not great. Can you not get out of it? There's no way you can change that. No. No. OK. But I'll be on the red eye six o'clock Monday morning. Work 8.30am. So you was telling me the game kicks off at 8.30am in Orlando. 12 hours later, I'm training. And 12 hours later you need to be back in Atlanta, actually giving training on us. Yeah, not even sitting at the back in the training, actually. Giving it. Yeah. So you're going to have to... I did tell my boss, they know. OK. It's actually funny though, I've got a new, because I'm a teacher, so new headmaster, I guess we call them principals. Yeah, yeah. He's new, so he didn't really have a clue, but the rest of the administrative team, I said, just by the way. This is happening. This is happening. And I'm technically still on holiday as a teacher, but it's just what I part of my job, but I technically don't have to do it. So, but I let them, but I kind of do. But so I let them know when they all looked at me and they went, all right, we'll be there to cover if you need us, because you know. The best thing to do to drink lots of water. Yes. Because I'm sure. Good advice. Prematch. My son told me. The water might be the same. The minute the kickoff starts, he's going to be throwing water down me. Once it starts, that's it. My son's 26 and he is responsible for the hydration of his mother. I mean, it's not a bad thing to be responsible for. It's not a great thing either, but, you know, but you don't know, and it'll be hot. I'm used to the hot weather in Georgia, obviously. But yeah, I know it is delightful being here and people being like, it's so hot. And I'm like, yeah. My air condition is actually colder than this, yeah. But, you know, that's what my air condition is set at. I always find that mad in Florida is that the air condition is set at like 74. And when it's 74 here, we're like, can't wait. I mean, you've got your time. I know, it's all right. Now, I think, listen, I am well jealous. I don't know whether I've mentioned that. As I think Mr Blayne is and Mr McPartland, who's being unwell this week, otherwise he'd have been here, but I hope you have a fantastic time. I'm sure you will. I'm sure you can see it on your face. I'm sure it's going to be fantastic. So get to see hammers in the flesh. Get to see wraffers opening game. And hopefully everything will ensure it's a win. Good win. Be nice to bring on. Be nice way to start. It would be. And drink that water. I promise, I will. Drink that water. Bridget, thank you very much for coming in having a chat.
