Independent Chairman / Season Ticket Holder (Gwladys Street)

Fans' Forum E-mail: tony.bott@evertonfansforum.com

I was one of the original members of the Everton Fans' Forum when it was first launched. A regular contributor to BBC Radio Merseyside football fans' football phone-in, I'm also known as 'Tony The Blue' and took up the position of Independent Chairman in February 2012. I have been a Season Ticket holder in the Gwladys Street for many years and attend matches with other family members.

Kathy Keig

Season Ticket Holder (Paddock)

Fans' Forum E-mail: kathy.keig@evertonfansforum.com

I am a season ticket holder in the paddock and attend all games home and away. I was born into a family of Blues and was a regular at games from the age of 6. I have been lucky enough to witness some of Everton's great success and my hope for the future is that my children and grandchildren get to see Everton once again challenging at the very top. I care passionately about our club and am a real believer that one of our great strengths is the bond between club and fan. I am pleased to be part of the forum as I think it offers the ideal opportunity for both to work together to ensure the best possible experience for every supporter, grow the fan base and hopefully help shape the future for our great club.

Fans' Forum E-mail: ian.mcdougall@evertonfansforum.com

I am a season member in the People's Club and began following Everton at the tender age of six years old back in 1984. Having witnessed the glory days of the 80s as a youngster, a more memorable recollection was that of the 1995 FA Cup victory and in particular the semi-final at Elland Road. Having been a season ticket holder in the Gwladys Street and Main Stand I relocated to the Park End for the first time this season. I also became involved with Everton in the Community as a volunteer back in 2010 when my daughter was a mascot in a pre-season friendly and have supported the charity where possible since. I have been a member of the Fans' Forum since October 2011.

Alan Rawlinson

Season Ticket Holder (Lower Gwladys)

Fans' Forum E-mail: alan.rawlinson@evertonfansforum.com

55-year old season ticket holder in the Lower Glwadys - GT6 BB164. Been watching Everton since the 1960s and seen great sucesses over the years - as well as massive disappointments. All part of being a Blue. My all-time favourite player is Alan Ball, the greatest footballer I have seen in a Blue shirt. Worst moment at Goodison - Emlyn Hughes scoring twice against us for 'the other lot' in the 72/73 season. Greatest experience at Goodison - the Bayern match. Never known an atmosphere like it!

I applied to join the Fans' Forum last year when I saw the advert on the official website and I was surprised and delighted to be accepted because I really believe that ordinary match-going fans should be able to have a voice at all levels within this club. I hope that forum members can exert some influence on behalf of us fans at our regular meetings so that the match day experience for us all can be as good as possible.

Season Ticket Holder (Park End)

Fans' Forum E-mail: amy.wilson@evertonfansforum.com

Born into a family of Evertonians, I've been going the match since 1993, had a season ticket since 1995 in the disabled enclosure in the Park End. Away match regular too. I'm a committee member of Everton Disabled Supporters Association (EDSA).

Brian Scorgie

Season Ticket Holder (Gwladys Street)

I am 71 years old, retired, and married to Mary for 44 years and have two sons and a daughter. Sadly my eldest son became a fan of 'the other lot'.

I have been a Blue from birth and attended Everton matches since 1949. I started off in the 'Boys Pen' and was one of the first to have a season ticket there when they were introduced.

I sit in Gwladys Street with my son and two of my grandsons and we are all season ticket holders. Two of my other grandsons go to some matches with their father.

My youngest grandson, Adam Bond, will one day play for Everton and save the club millions. My favourite player is Dave Hickson, closely followed by Alex Young.

On the Forum I hope I have championed the cause of the younger supporters in particular as they are our future. We have to get them young and look after them. I applaud the club for what it is doing now with younger season tickets. We also need to look after all young people, who, in the current economic climate are either at school, students or on a low wage or out of work.

I have been watching Everton since the mid 1970s. My husband, son, daughter and I all have season tickets. My daughter and I sit in the Paddock although in my time I have had Season Tickets in other parts of the ground. I go to some aways each season if I can (finances permitting) and my son goes to all games home and away. I really enjoyed Sunderland away in the FA cup last season. It was a fantastic atmosphere. 

I am lucky enough to have seen Everton in the 1980s when we had great success and I have some wonderful memories and have seen some fantastic games.

I am both delighted and honoured to have been successful in getting a place on the Fans forum and I hope I can serve both the Forum and the supporters well. If anyone has any genuine concerns which they think the Forum is able to deal with and want me to bring to the attention of the club please email me or one of the other Forum members.

I was born into a family of Blues and attended my first Everton match at six years old. I am a Season Ticket holder in the Gwladys Street and I enjoy attending away games with friends and family.

I have also travelled around Europe watching Everton. Being just 22, my two favourite players would have to be Duncan Ferguson and Tim Cahill, but I've also been lucky enough to meet some true Everton greats including Alan Ball, Howard Kendall and Dave Hickson.

I joined the Fans' Forum in November 2012.
