New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[davek]

Speaking of building facades, are there any preservation concerns with the pubs etc? Should the club be involved with protecting the areas history.

Actually, I did one of those DNA tests a few years ago and found out I had 20 odd per cent Scottish ancestry.

I dont mind scotch people.

I have my suspicions that that is not a genuine photo. Davek never seems to tire ...

This is baloney.

Wish people would stop telling us this rubbish.

They didn't go over 60k because the then hierarchy were weak, had no belief in the fan base. I mean who on earth comes up with 52888? It's just a few hundred more that Newcastle. If they had ambition if they had bo locks, they have just gone biggest stadium outside OT. None of this size envy nonsense from Meis.

Made a balls up on number of seats we have to live with it. Maybe TFG might find ways to increase the capacity, squeeze more in.

Can’t say either way on the capacity as don’t know enough but perhaps there was a trade off on the location vs size.

If you build a 70k seater stadium out in the sticks then it makes extra money on match day because of the capacity but is empty other days of the year apart from any events you can put on.

If Everton get this right with the riverfront location, and the community that will spring up around it, there’s the potential to make money from that stadium every day of the week.

Business conference? Have a waterfront view.
Fine dining? City location with river view
Music festival? Here’s a city centre location with facilities
Drinks? At your favourite Everton themed city centre bar

Quite simply the high rollers of this world do not want to spend their time in fields off motorway junctions, or in residential locked areas of Walton or Anfield. They want to stay at the top hotels, and attend events in the most desirable parts of the city. That’s what our stadium could deliver if Everton get it right. Revenue 365 days of the year. We may have had to compromise on the size to achieve this but honestly securing that waterfront location whilst Liverpool remain in the suburbs is perhaps the only proactive move we’ve made ahead of them in years. If we’d have given that up for a mega stadium in the sticks and left them to the city centre I’d have been devastated.

But ya hopefully they keep that David Rollo original sign. Thought they should have just named the bar that anyways. keep some of the original history around the area

Rollos has a nice ring to it

I went the first test event and it was proper cold. That being said, was cold everywhere.

It was really cold. Felt sorry for the serving staff who were wearing uniform shirts - brrr!

Quick, call the clans to Glenfinnan. Sing out 'Moch sa Mhadainn 's Mi a' Dùsgadh' and let the Tories tremble.

Dunno how it's going to be a 4 storey bar when it looks like a 3 storey building

Definitely counting 4 here…

Only 70 odd percent of the time.

There must be an Everton fan in their PR team, they certainly seem to have a soft spot for us.
