New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

I wonder if it's to do with the shuttle bus required, I checked the capacity and it's 1k cars so you might have a decent number of people arriving and departing and needing a few buses to travel a couple of miles and back, looks like they are shifting car drivers to park in the city centre and using train, walk or the new bus routes to get to and from the ground

Travelling In to the city from the North (M58), effectively going past the ground, into town, then back on yourself, then back into town after the game then the route back out from town to the M58, it’s a logistical faff. Stanley Car Park P&R was arranged successfully for Eurovision, not even been given a thought for EFC games. Crazy oversight.

Just park at Maghull North just off M58 then train to Sandhills or Moorfields .
 
My worry is whether this legends game is a stroke of genius or an almighty own goal.
If everthing goes ok with with fans entering and more importanly exiting then fine.
However if there is the slightest glitch on the former i can see the headlines.
Ie "This game had staggered exit times, just imagine it at a normal PL game? blah blah"

Taxis may have the same problem as any car in the vicinity. ie. limited availability of road space. Ideally there needs to be a continual flow of buses from the city centre, operating mainly or wholly in their own lanes. It's just over 1 mile from the Liver Building. If the dock road and Grt Howard are kept for public transport and blue badge holders only, then each shuttle bus could probably do 4-5 trips per hr to Stanley Dock and back. The Gliders with off-board ticketing and full segregation could probably 6-8 trips an hr, which could shift thousands per hr comfortably. That, plus Merseyrail, plus scheduled buses at Scotland Rd/Stanley Rd plus walking should easily do it. Throw in football specials from several east Liverpool and other districts and many of the problems can be averted. Brighton and several other clubs had subsidise a whole network of bus routes to make their new stadium's transport plans work. We should've identified those public transport blind spots and done the same.

How will they monitor the tickets on the glider busses? Guards at each entrance?

Used the Park for decades. Thought the Park held a lot more than 1000 cars. Good shout to use shuttle buses from and back to. Was perfect for us using the M62 and East Lancs Rd. Idea might come to fruition after first 3 or 4 home games.
