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



overall I like the idea. My only gripe is that I’d rather the women moved it once the remodelling of the stadium is done.

Feels a shame that Goodison as it stands isn’t going out with the fanfare of Sunday. Instead, the reality is, we’re going to have a half closed stadium hosting women’s games while it’s tore down bit by bit.

I’d feel it was much more fitting for them to move into a remodelled goodison that is the first purpose women’s stadium.
 
Love that the ground will live on and look forward to seeing it take on a new shape and refurb as time goes on

The joy of the ladies and the ressies having it, is that in can be redeveloped stand by stand but also as the ladies game grows

Everton in L4 for eternity and two grounds in the city? Brilliant stuff
 
Tear down the main stand and build a hotel with new player facilities on the ground floor.
I know I'd love to visit, stay at Goodison park and get a shuttle to BMD for a game.
May as well cash in on kopite tourists when Everton are away too.
I wonder what the running costs would be to just mothball the upper tiers of the Gwladys and Bullens?
Leaves you with Lower gwladis, lower Bullens and park end as useable seating.

Yeah i agree. Community hub and other planed facilities would have been ideal for the local area. If they incorporate those services into a redeveloped GP then great, but I won’t hold my breath.

I think people have a different perception of American business people than me.

This is just cheaper than the regeneration which is why it’s happening.

Great for the women’s game and all that but it’s a financial decision and nothing more than that. They don’t care about the local community or growing the women’s game.

Shame for the area imo.

Arsenal and Chelsea women get huge crowds so I can't see any reason why we can't at least average 10k. Prices are cheap and it's a good standard. Add to that the Goodison factor.

An average of 10,000 would put us second behind Arsenal (who themselves have had half a dozen games with attendances under 6,000 this season) so I think there probably are reasons why we're not likely to see that sort of increase overnight.
