New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[PhilEFC]

Andy Burnham looks professional. Steve Rotheram looks like he's ready to get on the lemo at someone's wedding.

Like Worzel Gummidge’s scruffier brother.

 

[Neiler]

Nice of him to surface

Weird way to announce another year for Seamus!

New 'marquee venue' is an actual marquee. Never change, Everton, we love you.

Not owned by Everton though is it.

So excited watching all the content from last night, can’t believe it’s real and it’s ours! Any solid rumours on who’ll have the naming rights yet?

It’s there mate and will be for the next 100 years, Kopites will be in envy until we pass it to them in 2135, UTFT

After the 4th reroofing of the anfield road in 2048, customers began to complain of altitude sickness, vertigo and thin air. It was decided to move nearer to the airport, which fans had long been clamouring for, and Speke FC were born.

The new stadium web pages say this about the third test event - ‘Further information on a third test event will be communicated later in 2025’.

Has anyone heard any talk of what, and when, it might be?

 

[Drico]

Where would they go on the other sides of the ground?

Just do what Sunderland did: stick them in a museum and move on.

Well, originally I though they might put them here where the "white" strip is, but perhaps not...

 

[Connor]

Not feasible. The gap between that wall and the back row is not big!

Painting them on, now there’s an idea

 

[Jamiednm]

It looks out of place to me, mismatched styles.

It is part of the character of Goodison, not BMD. There’s a nod to that heritage in the brickwork, which is classy. I think actively making it a very overt part of a brand new stadium would be too far and would be for nostalgia reasons only.

 

[Librarian]

That wall needs to blend in
Not stand out

 

[arch stanton]

don't give them ideas, prices are expensive enough as it is

I meant putting it open cheaper the further away from kickoff to g3t people inside the ground, then put them up to normal prices, otherwise people will tend to go where the pints are cheaper and get inside later. a loss leader type of policy

Yeah, from a design perspective, it would clash.

When the internal fit-out is complete, the new stadium will have more in common with a space ship than Goodison. And that's how it should be. New start, new club.

Maybe.

There's the consideration the club have to bear in mind, I suppose, about what happened to other major clubs that moved ground. It required the 'Arsenalification' of the Emirates with all the trappings of old stadium like the Clock End clock etc making the journey.

However, that was a soulless bowl and generic in comparison with ours.

It's not Goodison and we dont want it to be. We've sung for years about the Royal Blue Mersey and this is what it's like in reality.

Sing with me:

There's going to be no anomie for the EFC!
