New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Vintage]

I don't think that is happening after a night match, maybe on a warm evening when there is a 5.30 match to watch on tv. Standing only with few places to put food/drink down

Ah ya mate that makes sense

Isn't he living in Vegas now, as a professional gambler (i.e. making money)? I'm sure I read that somewhere a few years ago - and if he ever bumps into Everton fans, they have a ball.

Ya apparently has done well for himself over there

Is there going to be another test event?

If so, any word on how tickets will be allocated?

Is it the going rate though?

Which club serves the most expensive pies in the Premier League?

Eating a pie is part of many football fans' essential matchday routine. Let's take a look at the prices of pies at all 20 Premier League grounds, to see which club serves the most expensive pie.

Yeah they'll have to knock those prices down if they want to sell loads.

There’s a second test event April date tbc.
The tickets have already been allocated.

Are they all strictly season ticket only jobs?

Shut up you dope. I will say what I want. All I am saying is there are supporters like myself who would have loved to of gone and been there for the whole game time. It’s cold it’s hardly an excuse, it’s winter pal.

And yes, Everton should be making money in any way possible on it now. Even if the main shop couldn’t have been open they should have at least had an official merchandise store on site. You don’t think a business should be making money? You’re the stupid one my mate.

You should have got yourself a ticket then mate - did you apply? 75 mins plenty for me.

Any takings they made would have been completely offset by the cost of stocking up an entire shop for 1 day and bringing a load of staff in etc. It was a test event to make sure things worked and we get safety sign off, the last thing the club needed to do was introduce more complications that made the actual aim of the exercise more difficult.

Nah mate I'm sure our resident Philip Green knows best

There is, however, the balance between making affordable for the fans and making the stadium affordable - e.g. paying for it. The prices were always going to go up.

The food was far superior in quality, so it's not as if they've upped the price yet you're getting the same ol' rubbish. My son's pie was lovely and he really enjoyed it.

The atomically warmed up hotdogs or anaemic pies you get at Goodison are poor, so it's an upgrade. I hope the alcohol choices and quality will be similar.

I am expecting to pay £6-7 a pint a BMD depending on the options, which I will be content with if it means I can be in the ground and comfortable beforehand.

I can't see us selling the most expensive pies in the league (by a good quid or so if they keep those prices)

I'm assuming that they are just expensive for whatever reason for the test event

Yes both events were by ballot, only open to season ticket holders.

3rd test event would likely incorporate members given we'd need to basically fill it out

Yes there will be a third as well. At the time of the 1st and 2nd events being announced, current season ticket holders had to enter a ballot, if you were successful in the first, you couldn’t go to the 2nd. If you missed out on first I think you were more or less guaranteed one for 2nd event, those tickets have already been allocated. The third test event (to be confirmed) will be any STH that didn’t enter ballot for the first 2 plus any new season ticket holders coming off the waiting list. I think official members can enter that ballot as well.

I'm sure this has been posted before but inside will surely have pictures of ex players etc?
Also Everton on the seats/crests etc?
Are they waiting for the naming rights etc?

There's loads of 'decorating' to do yet. It was very basic, but understandably so. Its essentially still a building site.

Don't waste your time reading that rag

I don't read it. Just scan the headings to see what lies they're telling.
