In the Denbigh ahead of the Ashes rugby match between England and Australia, it’s heaving and it’s satisfying to know that they’ll all soon be witnessing the best stadium in the country

Any rs about with their 'scouse not English' chants?

They might not be happy with the £6 pies at BMD

Does today prove that Everton and Liverpool could play at home on the same gameweek?

If one played early and the other played late then surely it’s feasible

Wouldnt happen in league games, never has done I dont think. It could happen in FA Cup though.

Pie and mash for them on Village Street, not a pew to be had.

The guide on the stadium tour yesterday said that:
1. It was the council who limited capacity to 53k because we could only prove we would sell that figure out every week. We now have 40k on season ticket waiting list.
2. We are planning to extend capacity by introducing safe standing around the bottom tier of the ground once we have the money. That’ll increase capacity to above 60k.
3. We could extend the North Stand and buying land off the water works to do so is being contemplated.
4. We can’t have white seats spelling out EFC or similar until after Euros as we have agreed to keep branding to a minimum to attract other users of stadium.

Thanks for sharing that, very insightful.

With safe standing increasing capacity, is that because the seats are narrower etc?

It does but it will depend on the demands put on the Police and the emergency services if its a regular thing going forward.

Think all stadiums chosen for the Euro's will have the same stipulations Dave, why should we be any different ? It's an honour that our stadium has been chosen for these prestigious events, we were chosen over others for a reason our stadium is fabulous and it being advertised all over the World is a good thing and may well attract more sponsors. Believe me when this tournament starts and the Rugby one today, which I'm going, everyone will know it's Evertons stadium.

The difference being that those other stadiums are already established as the homes of whoever play in them - we dont have that.

I've heard enough of this lot who are running that stadium: they've downgraded Everton as the anchor tenants who draw other commercial activity in. That's it. Outside the stadium there's a a few club badges and everything is dwarfed by that H*** D******** 'kin signage. Even inside the stadium Everton hardly get a look in - the wall art is mostly city of Liverpool iconography - I'm amazed there's not reference to LFC on the walls tbh - and they'd do it given half the chance too.

Everton fans will pay for that stadium btw...every penny of it.

What a 'kin palaver: downgraded at our own stadium and exploited financially to the hilt for good measure.

Great stadium, great location but utterly is you're looking to establish an identity at it.

That needs addressing big time.
