New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[toffee66]

There was a 4 event limit in the planning approval so this licensing application would potentially supersede that in line with TFG’s wishes.

 

[davek]

I meant gigs

Oh.

I think it's about 5, but as others say TFG are looking to increase that.

They will apply a sealant which creates a protective barrier - helps prevent water absorption, staining, and fading.

Any going spare for me undies?

Does Liverpool have a 'summer series' at all? Leeds has it in millennium square (I live there and saw black keys there this week), Manchester has Castleford bowl 6-8k capacity

I saw there was gigs at pier head but unsure on capacity

We have On The Waterfront at the Pier Head which has about 10k max capacity. I think that we may steal some of that away, but it is also better at the Pier Head because of proximity to transport links - James Street is 2 mins away, Moorfields a little further, and you can trek to Central in about 15

I also think that it will bring back some of the gigs that had been down that end of town previously - Sound City etc with the bigger capacity

Plus it’s not a residential area yet so you could have a longer set/curfew

I can see some of the land near the stadium has been earmarked for housing. That’s fine, but it shouldn’t be used as an excuse by the council to limit the number of events that the stadium can host.

The stadium is the first major development in the area, and as the council say themselves, should be the catalyst for what comes next.

If thats the case, we can’t have new residents moving in 5 years time and moaning about the number of events going on at the stadium.

Need a proper station at Sandhills to cope with a multi event arena.
Council not gonna give unlimited scope for events if 25k cause absolute carnage to the transport infrastructure trying to get home.
Not gonna allow that every week, never mind more than once a week.
I hope and pray they, well Steve the Knobhead, has got it sorted for the Roma game and going forward into the season.

Get it sorted Steve, you colossal weapon

Do you think it’s smell absorbing too?

It'll never happen due to local government incompetence but I still think the optimal solution would be a new station at Love Lane, it'd serve both the stadium and the Liverpool Waters development.

Keep praying. Brighton on the Sunday is going to be horrific.

Have to agree, even think the Roma game will be a pain, as super Steve has done the square root of naff all to address the issues already identified. Derelict in his duties - can’t imagine the level of of incompetence if it was our lovable neighbours building a world class stadium and regenerating a entire area of the city that has been neglected for so long.

Happy/blessed that I am able to walk from the city or might even try going around Goodison and bussing/walking from there.

Best of luck to those without options or choices.

I had no issues parking around The Pits and Christmas Street for the test events. Sure, it was a 20 min walk, but it was simple enough. Obviously, not everyone is afforded that luxury and I've heard some bits from friends who require help that are getting it from the club, not the council.

Now we've moved, parking there isn't an option - would just add more time than it's worth, and we'll end up on the train. That 25 min walk down the dock road will be fine in August, not in mid-December.

I asked Merseyrail (1) if there would be a 15 minute service on the Sunday and (2) would the Old Hall St. entrance to Moorfields be open . Answer to both was 'don't know ' but they are aware of the event.

There won't be

They're just doing the 30 min service with 8 cars https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cnvmd3pzy4go

"There were problems with people hours before trying to get into town and we only had four carriage trains on," Mr Rotheram said.

"So there will be eight carriages from an earlier start."

He also said he hoped to encourage more people to walk from the city centre or from other nearby Merseyrail stations, adding that over time he expected fans to develop their own routine.

"We need to use Bank Hall more, we need to use James St more and potentially even Moorfields more," he said.

There's a 15 minute service every Sunday during the summer months isn't there?
