New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[DanEFC92]

Does it include any drinks or anything?

There's apparently a £10 voucher but not for today. Dunno how that'll work

 

[PhilM]

Queues insane for food and drink, either teething problems or they've underestimated demand and need more vending points, am hoping it's the earlier and not the latter

With lots of new staff and facilities, combined with fans likely looking around and finding their way, queues are sadly expected.

It should become more efficient the more games there are.

More like the staff need a rocket up their arse, couldn't go any slower if they tried

Went down on 35 just come back up to my seat after giving up, the queues are horrific, worse than anything at goodison

Queues are mad like

They’ll learn a lot from today’s event and lessons learned from vending and ingress/egress. But what a beautiful stadium. Like others have said, though, it needs blue trim and accents. More personality. It’ll get there over time just like Goodison did.

A touch of blue gravel here, a mural of Bill Kenwright there, and all will look homely.

What are the ale price like?

£6.75 for a san Miguel

I agree, mate. Randomly placed Kenwright statues throughout the stadium really would make it home.

Am hoping that's the case, but it almost feels like that even if they doubled the serving speed then the bars are still too few in number

Mate messaged me to say the same. Heaving.

Did say atmosphere wise it feels like a day out with some football on. Understandable.

Inexperienced staff aren’t going to be as efficient as we’d hope, plus with it being a new experience, more people will be on the concourse.

As staff find their way and people settle into routines etc, it will improve. As others have said, the club will learn a lot from today!

Also shows people are willing to spend.

Is that a bottle or a pint mate?

I imagine people are more up for enjoying themselves than watching the 'action' on the pitch. So im guessing the demand at the bars and food kiosks is huge, i'm sure the Qs and systems will get better when the PL season starts proper.
It's all part of the testing.
