Nah. Some fans have just voted to call a bar inside the stadium the Prince Rupert. Can you imagine if those historical fans groups had the say-so in naming the stadium what they'd come up with? 'The Archibald Leach Stadium' they'd call it, or some such 'kin nonsense.

You could at least spell his name right. Don't you ever get enough of feigned outrage?

I just looked at the first half a dozen pages of this thread from 2014.
It's took a while but what a beauty it is.

I agree it would be a nonsense to call a stadium after Cary Grant’s real name…he’s from Bristol ffs.

Or did you mean Leitch…

Stay vigilant at all times.

I'm hardly trivialising slavery using it as an analogy. People use the term every day: "he's a slave driver"; "I'm a slave to this project"...etc etc.

Stop being a drama queen.

Every video I watch on YouTube of these drone guys is now basically the same. There seems to be very little going on since Liang o’rouke got off. Some scaffolding up where they are re painting the posts with apparently a better weather proof paint, no branding, the Everton way is being added to but it doesn’t look like any shop fitting or executive Lounges are even being worked on at the moment. I hope Everton get a grip of this because it needs workies in there asap.

Unfortunately I’m not aware of any special x-ray type lens that allows you to see the interior

Can admin please change the thread name to the Hill Dickinson Stadium

The North dock area would be smart, if we're dreaming like.

The best part of Goodison, IMHO, is how it rises from the streets - it well and truly is the People's Club in that regard. Don't think this could ever be replicated in a new location.

You’re dreams have come true my friend

Again.

He was desperate for us to not use the name that was becoming common use within the community, because of its slave trade links and the name of Bramley Moore. Calling it BMD likely shook him to the very core. He couldn't comprehend how people weren't so shocked by historical treatment of the enslaved that they could even utter the name of the location of the new stadium.

Now though, he feels it acceptable to completely cheapen their plight by suggesting similarities in the position of people who were oppressed for generations, and Evertonians naming a stadium by its actual name.

If these two things had happened as separate entities, an argument made by two different people then maybe you could put it down as nuance. But, for somebody to be so staunch on one side of the argument, to then so dramatically cheapen it, I can only think that it is a play for attention. He couldn't give a shiny one about BMD, nor Hill Dickinson, nor the historical treatment of the enslaved, he just wants you to hear what he has to say, regardless of actual value to the discourse.

This will be my first, and likely only ignore. I've had enough.

Yeah that definitely makes sense . Also heard he wants more than one friendly there , probably rubbish but certainly possible .

….hearing the working atmosphere at FF is much better since Moyes came in and a few others have left, seems Moyes still likes his attention to detail but more chilled than his last spell. He’s clearly wanting the players to get used to surroundings at BMD, was a bit miffed he’d not been able to get on the pitch before the end of the season.
