Business With Blain: Hill Dickinson Stadium is Brilliant, but Everton Have Issues to Solve

The first non-footballing event at Hill Dickinson Stadium proved a success, albeit with some major drawbacks that must be addressed quickly by Everton.

And will the markings from all the rugby league games be gone in time

Cant wait for the World hop scotch championships to be held here personally

From a Newcastle fanzine. Looks like BMD isn't the only stadium with transport problems
<< The laughably named London Stadium, which cost umpteen times more than the initial estimate, has shocking transport links. Cars are more-or-less banned from its environs. Stratford is the nearest big Tube station, a mile or so distant. The club’s website warns of apocalyptic delays if you head in that direction after the final whistle. London buses? We all know you wait hours for one; then three arrive at once! >>

Once you're on a train at Stratford though it gets you to most places in London (or beyond) quickly. It serves a lot of different routes with multiple tube lines, Elizabeth line and national rail, so it likely gets you back where you need to be quicker than Upton Park which only served one tube line.

Dunno if it’s been mentioned in here but the RFL are looking to rent out the Hill Dickinson in April. Likely to be a triple header game day with the challenge cup semi finals and women’s test match been held all on the same day.

With how knackered the surface looked after one game, it's going to be a test for the grounds-people, @Joey66 can't rotate fresh surfaces across sadly so what grass type would you recommend as hard wearing and even enough?

Imagine a full multi use stadium, one that was used all year round, to generate money all year, his head would do more spinning than one his rogue ninja turbine death blades.

Ps - he seems to be the only person in the world, who wasn’t aware that the whole idea of the new stadium ( which he said would never be built ) was for multi use,?external events, as well as Everton matches

They can lay a pitch inside a few days now a mixture of Nylon & young turf inter twined all done by machine ....

To be fair, the way our team plays with the hoof balls, and amount of times they roll around on the floor, it’s no different than a game or rugby union.

Indeed, we have done it twice already. Laid one surface for the test events and one more for the start of the season

It was laid a bit late though maybe that is the problem ?

Kev, a Widnes fan, said: “Hill Dickinson was a fine stadium today. No issues with getting an ale or queues for the bogs. Getting out not an issue too. Maybe because I have got eyes and common sense.”

That'd be a very clever answer if it had ever addressed my point above...

Let's first establish that stadium as:
a) a football stadium
and
b) Everton's football stadium
...before we have a 'facility' almost as well known for putting on rugby games, music concerts, Christmas markets...and probably panto's.....oh yes they will!

...and Goodison was well established before all that peripheral use.

*sigh*
