How Good Are We?

[Leo No.8]

Reports in the media talking about a delirious Italian nation welcoming home their victorious squad with as many as 500,000 people on the streets of Rome.

 

We had double that after the Champions League win, and we're just a club and a medium-sized city...

How good?

 

I would class the turn out as "pretty damn frikken good"

[monkey puzzle]

Did we actually have a million out that night? I mean there were s*** loads and I didn't see the rest of the route only the centre of town but how the hell do they know there were a million folk out on the street.

 

But we are s*** hot.

[Sion]

Hell we had more than 100 thou on the FA cup parade! We're awesome!

[Guz]

There was more than 500k in Rome surely. Some of the images of all the people and flags are surreal. Never seen anything like it.

 

Our parade after Istanbul was AMAZING, ut surely if we had 1m people on the streets that would mean every man, woman and child in Merseyside was at the parade?

[Big E]

has anyone got that picture of the bus, surrounded by people all reaching inwards

[Sara]

The commentator woman was raving about "more than 750,000 on the streets of Rome cheering the team home". Whoopee f***in do!! We had more than a million easily when we brought home number 5. Plus more would have come if they (ie me and Lasty amongst others ) hadn't been stuck in Istanbul!

Sky News said there were over a million people on the streets of Rome.

 

They are great "margins of error" there.

I think the amazing thing is it wasn't just the locals - reds were coming from far and wide to cheer them home!

 

The reports did say around a million...

[Jim D]

I think during the parade there were around 300,000 people around St George's Hall, with an estimated 750,000 people lining the streets along the parade route.

 

That makes the total easily over a million.

Yes but don't forget that we flew all those people in specially from Norway because Everton are, of course, the true people's club in the city.

[hideNseek]

Wasn't just people from Liverpoool. I know of 10 car loads that came from Gloucester (family n friends of mine).

the local police also said the same which i suspect is likely to be more accurate than the press.

some of us were still getting back from Istanbul
