New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Yes. People in what is basically safe standing not wanting to stand. They have zero self awareness and took the seats from those who would.

The people with the longer tenures got first choice, so a lot of older folk from the bullens road and goodison road stands have gone there. Maybe they will move next season?

To be fair I think this needs to be communicated a bit better to fans. Whilst I've been trying to keep up with all the stadium discussion, as it was my first visit (Mansfield) I wasn't really sure what to expect from each section. I ended up with tickets in the lower south, in the end my dad couldn't come and I had a mate take his ticket. But it wouldn't have been ideal if he had to stand all game.

Did they tape your mouth shut ? If not you can still vocally support a team without needing to stand up. I think they do seemingly tape up the gobs of many of those in the safe standing section.

I’m not sitting there singing on my own.

Would prefer a good atmosphere to come organically.

Even if it’s getting up when we have a good period of pressure.

It can’t happen because there’s too many people telling everyone else to sit down.

Eight years in the park end and I was never told to sit down. The atmosphere and general vibe of the park end was so much better than the south stand.

How did people find getting home last night? Be interesting to see how much quicker or slower it was than Goodison. Will have a big impact on attendances in years to come.

I live in South Liverpool so have been getting the train direct to and from for night games. It's been pretty effective so far, but was packed going home. Tried the shuttle bus to town for the Brighton game. Even though i waited for almost 1 hr in the ground afterwards..... it was still gridlocked and I got off by Costco to walk, as I was going the pub anyway. Wife said it took almost 1 hr to get to Liverpool One. So that needs seriously addressing with proper bus lanes all the way and priority at the lights. Hopefully that comes in the next few years. The vast majority seem to be walking quite long distances. Ok while the novelty is still there and the weather has not been too bad.....?
 

I'm generally an "armchair fan" so don't feel fully qualified to comment on "atmosphere", but I'll do it anyway. I've attended loads of quiet matches at Goodison when we're playing badly, so is it really surprising when the same thing happens at the new stadium?

It's the same people, watching the same dodgy team!

I'm going for the first time on Sunday... I HONESTLY CANNOT WAIT!
