I will always talk about Goodison because it is a big part of the history of the club and football in general. It was a big part of my life for many years, and a big part of peoples lives a lot longer than my time there. There is no harm in...

I dont think anyone would disagree that's a good appraisal of the problem and the short to medium term solutions. The issue for most now is that literally NOTHING was done by the local authorities in the period between PA acceptance and the...

It was clear from the start that this site was always going to be anti-car..... the stated required modal shift to public transport was a dramatic one, which appears to have gone over the heads of many drivers. The issue then, being that it was...

Possibly be able to open up the upper concourse with the home fans and close the bottom tier off? My guess anyway. I know the stadium has changeable segregations in the concourses for international tournaments etc.

Does anybody know how (or if) they are going to split the away end for clubs with lower allocations? Can't work it out from the 3 entrances into the stands if it will be possible. They also feed into a separate level 1 concourse too

IT would be great to have somewhere close by after doing a tour or visiting the club shop to have a sit down with a drink and a bit of food.

It's a test event they're determined to avoid taking. God forbid anything goes wrong when the season starts because stunts like this one will come back to haunt all parties. Just get 50,000+ fans streaming out of that stadium pretty much as...

I think if the aim was to have a full legends game you're right. Personally, believe that its been put on to help ease the crowd after the proper game. They will be wanting people to leave in dribs and drabs. Which for a test event seems mental...

Both trial events struggled to keep their attendees in the ground till the end. On both occasions, it looked like half or more had already left before the final whistle (despite the fact that the last one was stopped early in the 2nd half). So...

With the Legends game being straight after Roma friendly, people will probably end up leaving at different times now rather than all heading out after full time, would have been nice to see how everything runs

Safe-standing is already introduced and part of the new stadium. It's the increased ratios that we don't know about yet. The rail seats used at BMD wouldn't allow for increased ratios as they're too space-consuming. Even if they were replaced by...

The transport issues with the ground location will ensure we don't need a bigger stadium IMO any time soon so in many ways my future restricted growth concern is a moot point.

I've got mixed feelings about the Capacity. In a lot of ways I think it's a shame we didn't at least try and go to 55K. Just under 53K feels a bit of a negative and settling for a place in the hierarchy that reflects us being just a top 10 club...

I did say it looked like we lost quite a few seats when they extended the media section (close to the roof - the section to the right).
