New Everton Stadium

[alex_w_]

I was aware that match day income from Goodison was low but didn't have us so far behind Brighton and Leeds View attachment 310721

Another reason why we’ve brought in Kinnear as CEO? Leeds seem to be performing above their weight in Matchday revenue.

….surprised to learn that with the steep South Stand the growth temperature in each goalmouth can differ by as much as 10 degrees, hence the heaters deployed at mainly one end to support growth. Not ideal.

Apparently Moyes want to use the pitch regularly for training, which makes complete sense.

Welcome to the shudda, wudda, cudda thread…
Let’s see how the attendance is if we still haven’t won a thing in 3 years and the novelty of the new ground has worn off.

Regardless of how we perform I think we'll fill the new ground for all our premier league games - new stadium effect or not.

However I doubt we will fill it on a cool, wet, autumnal night at home to Darlington in the League Cup after a couple of years of zero progression on the pitch as we occupy about 15th in the table. We may get close to filling it even for those games if we're buzzing near the top of the table playing fast, flowing, exciting football.

I don't think any serious consideration to the issue of raising capacity will happen unless and until we are a regular CL competing team and even then it may not happen. The existing tiers are steep enough and I don't think it will even be possible to do another higher steepier tier - it will be like that cheese rolling hill thing they do down south with people falling off!

No chance that term had wide currency among Evcertonians even 3 or 4 years ago. I cant ever remember someone saying they're "going down the Grand Old Lady". Going to Goodison, yes. Going the match/game, yes. Going down/to the Grand Old Lady - no.

It's a commercial-media construct that plays into a lot of narratives around the club's long standing role in English football. It was a journalist playing up toward an Evertonnian conceit.

We haven't won anything for years and still had a 10,000 + waiting list.

I dream about the stadium as it currently is. If we improve it in the future so be it but for now it’s almost a dream come true for me.

Yes, exactly buddy, was it only 12 months ago, give or take, the 777 lot almost had us. I shudder to think where we would be now.
I never thought this would get built, never mind it standing there in all its glory, it's magnificent.

Robbie Bentham was desperate to watch Goodison Park's final game and to see Everton's new stadium.

Evertonians need to stop calling it Hill Dickinson.

It's like a slave willingly using their own given slave name.

Dave this is out of order.

It's actually a disgraceful post.

Dave this is out of order.

Why?

It's a commercial name that we've been saddled with.

No mate...am sorry.

Using the slave trade in such a trivial matter isnt cool.

Yeah that definitely makes sense . Also heard he wants more than one friendly there , probably rubbish but certainly possible .
