What exactly do i have no clue about?

I've met the bloke, he had a season ticket last season, he's got one for this coming season. Do you think he gains that many subscribers from Everton stuff that he is willing to make it all up? Easier ways mate, look at Goldbridge.

I'm not defending him other than he is an Evertonian.

sorry mate but I know he didn't have a season ticket last season. Happy for you to prove me wrong.

I really don't care enough to try and prove you wrong mate! :) I would just point you to all his match vlogs for the league games where he is in the same seat in the PE. I think someone who had two seats had a friend that was ill and couldn't make it, so Mr Drone took that seat for the year and he has done something similar for this season too.

As it's the stadium thread that is being derailed that's the last I'll post about it.

No way all the concrete ends up blue. If they were going to paint anything underfoot blue, would surely have to have been done pre-test event. If done badly it could be an ice rink when wet. If there was a plan to put grip paint on step-ends, again it would have been done surely before all tests. The bland colour of the steps up to exits will disappear when humans are in there. There will be fixed and digital ad boards, ideally something on the horizontal wall splitting the levels. But even that will just get covered in flags.

They've painted the concrete floor blue at the bottom of steps up to 1st floor of souvenir shop. If they can do it there it can (eventually) be done elsewhere.

So what are they doing with those seats ? Binning them without offering them to fans would be a disgrace.

It's a good point. I bought one that comes in a presentation box, I really would have loved to get a couple to install in the house. Posts and all. It would have helped them to clear the lot, without the need to clean/repaint and package, or throw away.

I didn't buy mine cos for me it was all or nothing. I'd have had far more interest in a few working seats together than a simple piece of 'bum plastic'.

Would like them to eventually install an escalator to the second floor. Seems daft to make people climb that many steps - i know there is a lift, in reality you're not going to queue up to use that unless you have to.

I can see on a matchday how that extra capacity of using the stairwell might be a good thing, no harm in having something that joins the floors up in more usual way, especially on a non matchday.

You'd have thought they'd have designed that in from the outset. Don't think it'd be an easy thing to do now.

If he did it wasn’t his, he openly shared that he was on the waiting list and missed out for BM. Apparently one of his subscribers has give him his ticket for this season as he can’t make it

I used to work with him years ago. He is a blue. Met him at Wembley once - the Liverpool semi final

The season ticket this year wasn’t his you are right.

Hate to be critical but the store opening and fit out looks shambolic.
Once in a lifetime opportunity and we look like amateurs.
There should have been free stuff and discounts and the store should have been ready with signage.
It looks like a pop up shop. Absolutely embarrassing. FFS Everton.

I get the impression it was a very rushed. No official opening with a few freebies or players to attract fans. The store looks very nice but they have to sort the stairs out between the two levels. It looks like a factory emergency exit. It needs some Everton pictures so that it looks like part of the store and brings the two levels together.

Agree about getting between the 2 floors.

One thing that did confuse me was the stewards here. We only got the lift but pretty sure I also saw one on the mr drone video.

It was like they were manning the doors as these would take you through to the stadium maybe.
