@evertondotcom How's it a bowl mate? I get this statement a lot from kopite mates. I'll tell you the same as I tell them; how is it a bowl when there's not a curve in sight other than the roof? Is it a bowl just because there's no big empty gaps...
Was going to post exactly that.
The stadium has plenty of character. How many stadiums across the world have an inter connecting dock channel within boundary, a pump house, railway lines, dock walls running through the building. Listed wall...
Define character.
Do you mean age? Or posts? Or perhaps insufficient amenities?

You genuinely don’t think the new place doesn’t have its own character already? Have you been down there or inside the ground?
I know it’s different to Goodison, but outside and inside the ground feels anything but generic or characterless, to me.
@evertondotcom - why are you are repeatedly calling BMD a shiny new stadium with zero character?
Also, you don’t half seem really negative about the move, genuine question, would you have sooner stayed at Goodison as it was?
