The original planned name sounded better.
Anyway whatever happened to the "Dog & Duck" ?
Can see this being Dave’s preferred watering hole with a name like that

"I know, at that brand new £750M stadium miles away we'll build an ale house and call it after the name used by the gullible/media for the stadium just vacated. That'd be a good idea wouldn't it?".
Are these the same people who had the idea to have a cable car crossing of the Mersey?

Season tickets and drinks cost the equivalent of three times more for fans of today than that of 50 years ago.
There is money to be made in the big business that is football these days.

I'm not sure embracing the good parts of your history is looking backwards.
'The old Lady' will always have a special place in many hearts.
I would have said the same if they called it Dixies or the Kendall or something else from our history.
I love a bit of nostalgia but look forward to moving forward at BMD.

'The Old Lady' was created by an Echo hack just a few short years ago and now - largely because of the move away from Goodison - it's been amplified a million times to create tradition that was never there. it's not organic to us.
I for one resent that sort of manipulation of our fan base.
It's a relatively new and artificial identity construct. It should be in the bin never mind dragging the insult with us to our BRAND NEW STADIUM.

Manipulation of our fanbase? Give over Dave, your shouting at clouds. There is a point, as with anything, that somebody says something for the first time. It has allowed people to articulate their fondness for the ground. Let them. Its hardly offensive is it.

I thought it was a Kenwrightism.
I tend to agree with you, though: it's hackneyed nostalgia designed to dress up total lack of investment.
The very same "Old Lady" was supposed to be falling down and incapable of getting a safety certificate not too long ago according to the self-same purveyor of that phrase.

Bloody hell everyone is thinking too hard about this.
Let’s just call it ‘NEW PLACE TO DRINK BUT TO BE CLEAR THIS NAME HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH GOODISON, OR ANYTHING, AT ALL, AND IS ORGANIC TO THE FANS (OR NOT, DEPENDING UPON YOUR PREFERENCE). JUST SPEND MONEY HERE, PLEASE. KTHXBYE.”
Nobody could be offended by that.
