Homepage Article Goodison Park to become the permanent home of Everton Women

[davep]

“The women’s game has grown significantly in recent years, and we believe that growth will continue and accelerate. We’re under no illusions; there are obstacles we need to overcome to make this a success both practically and economically, but we’re confident that we will overcome those challenges. The value of investing in the women’s game has been demonstrated by our ownership group at AS Roma, with impressive results on the pitch. We believe Everton Women can emulate that success and go even further, with one of the most revered grounds in the history of the game as their permanent home.”

Delighted by this news.

Great move by TFG, brilliant decision.

Are we allowed to buy our seat still? Haha

The way they sold the seats - only the top half for plastic made me think they wanted to keep the rails in for this purpose.

Any chance a non league team could play there as well (City of Liverpool perhaps).

Would be good to have regular football on a Saturday there.

We can play our first home game there now in August when it’s confirmed the new stadium isn’t ready yet

 

[DuncansPigeons]

Love it. Hope we use it at a PSR device (that we don’t need) and sell it to the women’s for £200 million

We build, we don't demolish.

We haven’t demolished anyone in a very long time. Leicester at the start of February, was it?

I’ve already bought mine.
They’re not having it back

I've never watched a women's match "live " , only on TV but if they play at Goodison I might just toddle down.

I think this is a brilliant move by TFG.

I was initially dubious but more I've thought about it I'm pretty made up by it. Like you I've only watched them on TV and WHP just looks so tinpot it would put you off going, it devalues the product in itself. Using Goodison you can sell it as so much more of an experience, great for all the family. Attendances won't rocket overnight but if people go along out of curiosity and enjoy it they'll be back, and maybe bring a friend or two, and that's how you grow.

Imagine!!
I wouldn't rule out the possibility
Everton That

All for the women's team getting a stadium but goodison costs millions to keep it standing, unless they completely remodel the other stands apart from the park end I don't see how this makes sense?

Did they deem the goodison legacy project too expensive?

 

[Infernus]

When is the article coming out that we are proud to announce that Goodison has been sold to the womens team for 3billion, and that the women's team has in turn been sold to Don Fliedkin for 4billion. Up the PSR Toffees!!!

One way to stop the gaff getting ripped up on Sunday.

Watch them change their minds next week.
