What to know before you follow them
Everton have spent recent seasons fighting relegation and had points deducted for financial breaches. Supporting them is currently an exercise in loyalty rather than reward.

What people sing
Z-Cars theme
The walkout music that still marks an Everton home game. Older supporters treat it as part of the ritual.
It's a Grand Old Team
A terrace favourite. Easy to join once you have heard the chorus twice.
Who the rivals are
Liverpool
The Merseyside derby. Families split down the middle, which makes it sharper and more personal than most.
Following them from America
Smaller than Liverpool's American footprint, but stubborn, especially in cities with strong Merseyside ties.
