New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Amw79]

Did anyone notice the pitch sinking into the Mersey by 10cm early in the second half?

Saw that. And thought it was weird that there was no corner flags on the left hand side, cos they wouldn’t fit.

I can’t believe that people actually believe that a stadium built in 2025 doesn’t have escalators. It has loads of them.

??? Most of the turnstiles don't have access to them. Seems a bit grim for those in the upper tiers?

The upper tiers aren’t that bad.

Thoughts on today
- fabric of the place inside and out is top draw. They couldn’t have done a better job
- food outlets in the concourse need better planning for queues and bottle necks
- I caveat this with the fact it was a friendly but the acoustics had a hollow echoey sound - not the intensity of Goodison
- south stand upper bar remarkably easy to get served at and the views across the city are unrivalled
- the staff everywhere where first class
- regent road was and will become even more so amazing as more bars open
- it is not Goodison and it will not come close to the place in terms of intimacy, atmosphere or intimidation.
- we will make it superb and unique when we settle in
- the tannoy is far too loud

Had an amazing day...She really is a thing of beauty

Queues for the bars were massive on the west stand, however, I just walked around to the east stand (where the concorse is a lot bigger & used the Ebar instead

The views from the south stand are spectacular & if we can manage to get more land/water on Nelsons dock, it would be fantastic!

Some people do not deserve nice thing. Smoking in the toilets and two lads using the disabled toilets together-wonder what for?

Yeah, I went in that one, and was a nightmare. Something not right there, as most other gates appear to have been ok. It’s a test event, so hopefully has identified whatever problem it was, so they can put right.

The problem with that gate was loads of people were in the queue for gate one on the left so in the wrong place, then there was a queue to the right same turnstile.
Which was mad.
We got there about 2 pm and the steward said stand in this queue , which was basically in the middle of the other longer lines and we were in after about 5 minutes.
The stewards need to get used to which place people should stand ect they were like lost sheep, I know someone who is one and they basically got told to go over there.
Not the training you would expect.
Suppose its all teething problems.
That gate 1 could get lively at certain games as they are right next to the away fans.
Good view from are seats.
Amazing stadium .

South Stand? The Gwladys toilets were always filled with a cloud marijuana.

Loved it.
Took my Grandson and first thing we did was to head straight for his stone on Everton way.
I was as proud as him to see his name embedded forever at our fantastic new stadium.
The highlight for me however was to come just after that.
He said "Come over here Grandad, there's another one for you to look at."
My Son and Daughter had ordered a stone for me which I knew absolutely nothing about.

The acoustics had far more intensity than the upper gwladys! I didn't even know the announcer's voice sounded like that

Random question, but can you actually buy a packet of crisps anywhere in the ground?
