Tom Hughes's latest activity

I think the amount is irrelevant in some ways Tom. We'd all like a multi-national mega bucks deal, but I think what should be blatantly obvious is that we probably took the best offer there was. If that's 1 million a year, fine, if it's 10, fine.

Can't see why they aren't at both grounds tbh. People talk about Everton branding on the new stadium. These are Everton icons, this is the Everton Stadium. An absolute no brainer. Cast copies and get them on the plaza.

Shouldn't sponsorship deals appear in Everton's accounts also? At first glance, it does sound improbable that a company with those turnover/profit figures would sponsor a football club to the tune of £10m per year. However, if they see it...

So, something that's been a HUGE part of your life you just forget about when they've gone? Can we apply the same rules to the people we went there with? The memories made there with those people? They're dead now, forget about them. Clown

This afternoon’s update

Your head’s gonna explode the first time the crowd sings ‘We are the Goodison gang’ at Bramley Moore.

Dan Meiss said it was a placeholder a while back.

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...

That was just a 'placeholder' i.e. somewhere where they had identified branding could be located but wouldn't necessarilly put something there. It was more for stadium naming rights than anything and it appears they have gone down a different...

I was, and I wasn't tbh. I could see why it was part of that initial reveal, to force a clear connection etc. It also reminded me of one those South American stadiums with the club name emblazoned on a mostly plain side wall in massive letters...

Ye I wasn't too keen on that in the glass anyway tbf.

I think that change was made before the final planning application, or certainly before the work started. It was definitely dropped from subsequent renders. I can't recall if there was an objection to it. But it was made clear that branding would...

The original renders all seemed to show EVERTON in large letters on the south stand glass frontage. They seem to have done away with that and gone with subtlety, presumably thinking that exterior is a very distinctive design that will soon be...

I got mine on Monday.... (thinking my son had already it sorted it last week). There were thousands left at that point.

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...
