New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[duncs pigeon]

Evidently not, because it’s full every week.

The best part about it is, if you don’t like it you can simply choose to not go. It’s great. Like a super power.

He doesnt go anyway does he?

He doesnt go anyway does he?

For the Fulham game, he rode down on his bike, parked it up and then walked around the ground and the surrounding area looking for things to find fault with.

That is not the behaviour of anyone remotely normal, but we know that already.

Was the milk sour on your cornflakes this morning mate?

Dave wanted a stadium in a central location but one that wasn't surrounded by any other type of structures. And Everton couldn't sort it out, amateurs!

Don`t forget, his opening tirade was that it would never be built.

The only division here is not between 'obsessive' versus *normal* people, it's between anyone who wants the home of the club - a stadium that has world class views at its disposal - NOT to be seen against the backdrop of a sewage works just to get a z-list company's name exclusive viewing for the hundreds of millions watching the PL around the world, and those who dont.

There's a reason UEFA wont allow anything other than 'Everton' or 'Liverpool' being used in connection to their tournaments (besides wanting exclusivity for their own core sponsors): they wont countenance an obscure nonentity undermine the platforming of their matches against the backdrop of a former World Heritage site.

No - it's literally just this

They could do that without getting the stunning shots of the stadium they very definitely will demand from tv coverage. That's because they understand - as objective outsiders - that you boost the profile of the venue and sponsors in tandem....something the ambulance chasers cant (or most likely wont) contemplate.

If I were a board member of Ambulance Chaser PLC I'd be saying right now: "Ok, great exposure for us so far...but why is the stadium still being exclusively seen in the same camera shots as the United Utilities house next door and not against the backdrop of one of the worlds most recognisable ports and skyline."

I'm sure the world doesn't know that its the sewage works in the background. And Smellyvision is a few years off yet I'm sure.

Yes, there is. It is their own advertising/commercial policies that have been in place for decades.

Nothing to do with your complete irrational hatred for a company that you hadn't heard of before the club agreed a standard commercial deal to have their name on the stadium, in return for some cash.

The UN were going to send the blue hats in at one stage, according to Dave.

 

[nevsonlymate]

I like both views, in fact there hasn't been a view of the stadium that I have not liked.

Dont like the red cranes in he background need painting right away

 

[nevsonlymate]

How are people getting on with the club surveys i seem to get after every game are your scores improving as you get used to the travel to and from the ground etc ?

Bloody sunrise has no business around our new ground.

No i'd wager that exclusivity for their own sponsors is the only reason.

This will get infrastructure investment moving.
