New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Frenk]

why as our owners will want the hospitality?

The stadium will be full right for the Roma game?

which means that the hospitality needs to be?

I think this pretty much confirms an away fixture for the first game of the season, no way can you do a test event with a real event a week later, what if there are issues found?

All 52,888 seats available according to the announcement. So how can it not be ready if that’s what they are saying?

Roman ultras come and tear the stadium apart, leaving it looking like the Coliseum.

i believe this might be an optional test

spurs only had 2

olympic stadium only had 2

 

[Vaughan]

any idea if you can buy seats all around the ground or will it just be north stand in which there were season tickets left by the time those on waiting list got to buy theirs

season tickets had all sold out in east, west and south, but have they held seats back? or has literally every seat gone to a season ticket holder?

Spurs last test event was 30 March.
First real game was 3 April.

Plus I would imagine all of the critical infrastructure testing was satisfied through the other events. This may be just a scaling rubber stamp.

So you are going to say there was an issue if our first game is an away game?

That makes sense. Still though, its fine to do it as optional until you find something wrong the first time you've got a full house. Just feels like it'd be incredibly sensible to want 2 weeks rather than one, just in case, when that is an option

They also had a stadium to fall back to should the worst happen. We don't as can't see Goodison being in a fit state due to ongoing works. (Tottenham that is).

No I'm saying having your first full capacity test event, and giving yourself two weeks rather than one, is sensible. I'd actually hope to see the first game being away knowing the first full house is so close to the start of the season.

would make sense like. maybe the schedule doesnt allow it with the usa tour, and it might either not be ready for july, or they would rather keep the game till the cusp of the new season

if the stadium was ready and their needs to be a third test plus any red tape after i would have thought a legends game in july would have been good craic

then have this as simply a pre season friendly
