New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

This seems the overwhelming opinion of both supporters, and Journalists attending the Rugby on Saturday. We should be very proud of what we’ve got here.

I went and the amount of fans who were talking to you about it and their admiration was really heart warming .

I was delighted in the morning when the rain went off because I think that would have had a negative impact .

What is interesting is the main complaint seems to have been the bar service . In my experience it was poor for Brighton game but been without incident since . I think that’ll be the occasional issue with first time attendees which they’ll hopefully deal with going forward .

They were there is good numbers from.the moment the ground opened. I know a few who almost completely swerved external places and just went in the ground from open to close. Thats not the way the football crowd have been. There were also fans still bringing pints up with 20 minutes to go. I know that in one of the test events, there was a pouring machine failure that was communicated as running out of beer, maybe this was the same.

The London Stadium is a short walk from Stratford station, one of the best served stations in the city! A quick use of google maps will show that!

Anyone driving a car in London deserves what they get!

It is indeed but it’s also painful getting back to the Station with the annoying AF stop go etc. I was at HDS for the West Ham game, and although a bit chaotic outside, when you got in the stream going in the right direction, it was fine, walked back to Moorfields and trains back to the Wirral without issues. Hopefully they never consider that stop/ go crowd control nonsense around HDS

Agree totally and can vouch for them bringing in beer late on, I was up and down like a bloody yoyo, letting them past.

Also the pouring machine I think you mean the one that pours 6 pints at a time ?, They were having problems with it when I got to the front of the queue, but they did manage to sort it out quite quickly thank God and I got my drinks after a bit.

The one I saw an issue with at the test event was opposite 209. No idea where the issue was, or if it was even that issue as I wasnt there at the weekend.
