New Everton Stadium

[West Side Charlie]

Any idea when the 3rd test will take place?

I have a feeling we'll be playing a few games away from Hill Dickinson Stadium but imagine we have to go back to Goodison.

Where has this come from mate, that the stadium won't be ready.
I've a feeling it's been made up by a cult disciple

It's only 2 weeks until the fixtures are released so if we've asked to play the first couple away you'd expect we'd hear about it in the next couple of days. Cannot see any way at all that we end up playing at Goodison, it's literally like 2 weeks since we made an almighty song and dance about playing there for the last time, I can't imagine that anything can have happened in that time that has suddenly made them reconsider whether that's true.

I've heard we have asked for a few home games to be moved back just in case.

I am not saying the stadium won't be ready but a 3rd test is due before the season starts and we will be in the US for 2/3 weeks of pre-season.

Perhaps we could play a Everton XI game before we come back from the US and we play a pre-season game at Hill Dickinson Stadium.

It's all a bit tight is what I am saying

…presume it doesn’t have to be a first team game, indeed I suppose it doesn’t have to be an Everton game.

Could be a ladies game or an U21's?

Just need to be anything to test stuff at full capacity.

And people forget Spurs last event was 2 weeks before start of the season so I am not worried.

People need to chill and stop listening to unsubstantiated rumours! Oh and stop feeding DaveK too...

Seems your memory isn't too hot either.

Spurs had trouble getting test events to run without any concerns and ended up moving in near the end of the season.

I know when they moved in my friend as I worked there

Edit: even if I got the date wrong my point still stands. People need to stop listening to unsubstantiated rumours.

I see, yeah I was wondering when this 3rd test would be.
We need that and full capacity for the safety certificate, the sooner the better so we can all relax.

Again.

He was desperate for us to not use the name that was becoming common use within the community, because of its slave trade links and the name of Bramley Moore. Calling it BMD likely shook him to the very core. He couldn't comprehend how people weren't so shocked by historical treatment of the enslaved that they could even utter the name of the location of the new stadium.

Now though, he feels it acceptable to completely cheapen their plight by suggesting similarities in the position of people who were oppressed for generations, and Evertonians naming a stadium by its actual name.

If these two things had happened as separate entities, an argument made by two different people then maybe you could put it down as nuance. But, for somebody to be so staunch on one side of the argument, to then so dramatically cheapen it, I can only think that it is a play for attention. He couldn't give a shiny one about BMD, nor Hill Dickinson, nor the historical treatment of the enslaved, he just wants you to hear what he has to say, regardless of actual value to the discourse.

This will be my first, and likely only ignore. I've had enough.

Don't tell him that St Domingos was named by a man balls deep in the slave trade my son.

God bless.
