New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Davideeyore]

Sandhills (Soccer Bus), Kirkdale, and Bank Hall. Before or after the match, you'd have people jump on the soccer bus, or walk to Kirkdale or Bank Hall.

I know, because I did all three over numerous years. For people walking to the ground heading to Southport, Bank Hall was the best route to take.

If you were walking and heading to town, Kirkby or Ormskirk it was Kirkdale. The soccer bus offered all three without the need of walking.

Now, it's either Sandhills or the walk to Moorfields.

Ah. Those 3 stations.

Excellent point.

I love our new home, but I do wonder if there is scope to expand? Can you imagine what it would be like if we ended up in the top 4? It's already not easy to get tickets

We don't fill the ground as it is now though there are empty seats every game so why would we expand?

I'm in a similar position,had my own health issues the last 12 months,lost my dad in May,moved back in to look after and care for my 84 year old mum who is getting extremely frail and dependent on me,I've got my season tickets but I've only been myself three times this season,it's a lovely stadium but the transport issues don't help things in my situation having to leave earlier to find parking although fortunately I have a blue badge,and then trying to get away at the end,and when I'm there I'm worried about my mum in the house on her ownat this moment in time it's more of an added hassle in life where it always used to be a pleasure even when we've been blooming awful,will be a hell of a wrench for me but I think I may have to give it up after 54 years of match going

Totally agree with this, I’ve only been to one game so far and was going to buy a rattle for my baby girl…£15 they wanted for it!! Suffice to say, I put it straight back

Don’t get why there is waiting lists and then?

Well done mate. You're more of a hero than those fraud professional footy players.

Look after your own family.

£15 for a coffee mug - pass !

And yet people get all precious when you argue goodison was far easier to get to and from

Surely it's subjective depending where you come from and how you get to the stadium. For me getting to BM is slightly a bit more time consuming, leaving is easier and quicker. I actually walk less too. I do appreciate that isn't the case for the majority though.

 

[If You Know Your History]

How not to create an intimidating atmosphere.
I honestly don’t think this stadium can.

That's just not the case.

We saw in the recent Palace game, when we inspired the team to go on and win the game, that it can be far louder than Goodison ever was.

Quite a few Newcastle fans seemingly in our end yesterday. The derby is going to be absolutely horrendous. The club will probably kick out our own fans for having a go at them.

I blame that Seat Unique nonsense.

It's got to stop. I fear that there will be violence at some point.

 

[If You Know Your History]

When the away fans being allowed into the home ends start a riot because our stewards have failed to kick them out, guess who will be deducted points...

Not the away team, that's for sure.'

I see that Liverpool City Council have helpfully allowed a gig to take place at the Blackstone Street warehouse (capacity 10,000) from 2pm today.

I'm sure that'll help with the usual transport congestion.

By the time 4-5pm comes along it'll be heaving down there.

Lunacy.

 

[If You Know Your History]

Wow, what a picture at the top of that article.

Absolutely stunning.

On the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey.

 

[If You Know Your History]

I have not been in the lower South but the density of fans looks low. It just doesn't look full or intimidating

Agreed. They could have easily got a couple of thousand more seats in there.

 

[Johnniepk]

Lunacy.

Traffic was horrendous at around 1500. Loads of Dads in cars trying to drop off their kid ravers , with no coats, close to the venue unaware of restrictions

Anyone moaning about our stadium really needs to take a long hard look at most of the others in the Prem, particularly Whams which is truly horrendous for football.

I think the stadium itself is great but there's always teething issues and an adjustment period. There's infrastructure and logistical problems around it.

West Ham's stadium is terrible but Stratford has top drawer transport links. Or you can just walk to the next tube stop to avoid the crowds.
