New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Why would the cards not scan at the turnstiles? They'll just put a passive NFC chip in the card, same as they have for the last however many years.

To answer you and several others - it's the Box Office who told me the cards won't scan. Yes they can be NFC enabled but the club don't want people passing cards around . They want to know the identity of every fan in the stadium.

They want to make extra ££ from overpriced memberships.

So is the expectation that they'll be photo id cards?

I suppose if we want to move forward and be able to compete with the teams at the top, we have to close the massive financial gap that has opened up between us and them since the PL started. While other clubs found new ways to fleece their fans and increase their revenue we were being run like a circus, a badly run circus.

So even if you have a mobile, which pretty much everyone has nowadays, you still might not be able to get in?
What was the problem with the plastic card system? Ah the clubs official ticket touting partner, pardon me official ticket resale partner, was n`t making enough cash on the resale of season tickets so they made it harder for you to let your mate use it for a couple of games you couldn`t get to.

Last few years I've got in by tapping my phone/card on the top of the turnstile reader.

Also last season I tried using the barcode scanner to read the season ticket on my EFC app on my phone and that worked. It's a potential workaround for those who pass the card to a family member to have them log in as you on the app on their phone.

The memberships aren't great if you're the type of fan who goes once or twice a year. Fair enough the club are copying other clubs within the league but memberships are just a way to generate income and don't really offer much to fans.

That`s what they`ll say is behind the system, but we all know that it`s to stop folks selling their tickets on themselves and not using the clubs system. There`s pro`s and con`s to this. It stops lids selling their United and RS tickets for a few hundred quid, which was making headlines a few years ago, but on the downside it stops folks doing a mate a favor by letting them use their ticket now and again.

Good to see the LCC working flat to the boards to get the area developed.

"Although the plans were approved unanimously at committee last October, a decision notice had not been issued until last week."

What was going on between last October and last week?

Thanks. I've been conctaing various departments at the club since March, as well as the Fan Advisory Board and EDSA, but haven't yet received a definitive response. I have a particular need for physical tickets, but , generally speaking, it seems discriminatory and narrow-minded to offer digital tickets only.

i need them myself mate the cards easier

buy yearh thankfully they are

I like this project.

Bit of renovation, bit of sympathetic new build.

They offer the opportunity for those fans to still support the club in a meaningful way.

Everton fans have spent the last several decades bemoaning the commercial inequality with our peers while also bemoaning the clubs perceived commercial naivety.

Now they’re doing something to increase revenue and that’s treated dismissively.

Memberships are voluntary- no one is obligated to purchase them.

Personally I take great pleasure in reminding my sly 6 ‘supporting’ mates down here that they haven’t spend a brass razzoo on the clubs they so fervently declare their love for.

Memberships aren't voluntary if you want to occasionally go the game. If you want to go one game a season that first game costs well over £100.

The club are doing what other clubs do so you can't blame them but memberships aren't meaningful. It's a money making exercise.

If a gestation period is needed to weed out chancers erecting tents, then I'm all for that.

In any case, a slow process in this case wont be affecting local fans. It's a hotel for out of towners.

From that image the thing looks terrible in any case Imo. Like a refugee centre. And in a terrible spot.
