Investor's might be committed but the paying coustmers are another matter. There's ambition and then there's delusion. The woman's team is averaging 2k attendance a game. A jump to 8k would be massively impressive but would still leave more then...
100% agree. The whole thing about wanting to go to Goodison won't hold a larger audience. One or two games a season during international breaks might do better but realisticly, If a couple thousand more people decide to regularly attend the...
I do think some people are maybe overestimating potential attendances. The average for the WSL is under 7,000 and half the league average under 5,000. Even Arsenal who are always used as the example of big crowds have had attendances under 6,000...
Even 25k seems a bit much imo. I get wanting to be ambitious for the womans game but they normally average 2k a match. Even if they quadrupled their attendance it would still be more then half empty. I truly think that maintaining the Park End...
I would have thought remodelling the ground and reducing its capacity and improving sight lines would be the way to go.
Do the women’s team need a 39k stadium ? It would be better in a refurbished 25k GP with better comfort and facilities in my...
Spot on.
I’ve never been to watch a ladies footy match, but I will definitely go and watch a game or two at Goodison now for all the points you raise above.
Also there are a lot of parents with kids and young adults with neuro diverse...
Keep the Park end (with new seats since they're is flogging the old ones!) and remodel the rest of the place so that can be expanded if there is enough demand for it. The Park end alone has close to a 6k capacity. Smaller Gwladys, Bullens and...
I hope this will be the long term legacy for Goodison rather than a short term one. It would be disappointing if say in 2 years time the ground goes out on a whimper and is totally demolished for something else other than football rather than...
Yet another first for Everton football club.
Goodison Park will be the first stadium in the country dedicated to a women’s football team.
Merseyside and the worlds originals.
I think the question is aimed at people without tickets. Obviously for people with tickets it’s still the same situation really, but for those without the situation has changed quite a lot. There’s no real need to go sand say goodbye anymore...
