New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Chris Martin]

Just had a stroll around the store. It is a soft launch as I was talking to staff. Quite impressed to be fair.

I would love a replica of the Littlewoods clock, might have a go at making one sometime.

I much prefer the industrial look. The same for the concourses, boozers, hotels etc. Not everyone's cup of tea but you can't please everyone.

As a professional shop fitter, please tell us in specifics what they should have done.

Please use other shops as examples, so we can get a good idea on the nuances of shop fitting, as non-shop fitters.

I am not a professional shop fitter but I imagine it’s quite tricky to layout a shop that’s going to be very quiet most of the time but extremely busy at certain times?

If you leave enough space for people to get round when it’s super busy I guess it’s always going to look a bit sparse when it isn’t.

Think it looks great all around the ground

The shop is looking good!

Yep, my thoughts as well. It was a very tongue in cheek comment to somebody who is generally moaning but very rarely (if ever) offering up their solution.

Added to the fact it was obviously a soft launch, a full launch would have more than likely been a weekend, when most people are not at work.

Somebody mentioned when gigs happen there. There is a possibility that they may use the space for a pop up merch store for any bigger acts that come by. That may change the layout, etc.?

Anyhow, nice enough shop. Wasn't offended by the look of it.... some good stock and plenty of space to walk around the 2 floors!

1st person in got a new away top. Expect they will be all over social media.

Stayed for about 15-20 mins.

Only question is car parking situation going forward on non-match days.

When the construction work has been completed you will be able to park up in the West Stand car park. I expect that to be available for tours, shop and restaurant/bar patrons.

I assume the access to this is then alongside the north stand?

A Italian restaurant

Allardici's, I believe.

Specialising in traditional Italian-immigrant fish - landed at the Dock - and chips.

With gravy.

They could do with getting some stock inside it.

I'd settle for a ceiling.

I'd settle for a ceiling.

Exposed ceilings are all the rage now to be fair.

The industrial look is in.

Just one of those fashions I can't abide. It'll always look cheap and unfinished to me.

I like it.

The design of the stadium, and the working class heritage of our club, suits that sort of honest, industrial appearance I think.

But I get why some don’t like it.
