New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

I was wondering about this.

The amount of people "following" others through the barriers without scanning their cards/phones was crazy.

I know the technology is meant to be brilliant and its all camera controlled in someway but I did wonder at the time if people could feasibly be charged for stuff they didn't pick up and also could/would the cameras be used to identify those who didn't scan.

It was the Through Pass in the NE corner of the upper tier and there was just a single person at the barrier who I think was mainly there to explain how it worked and not to police it. There were no stewards anywhere to be seen.

I’d be very surprised if it wasn’t (supposed to be) smart enough to deal with this sort of thing (tailgating) as it’s pretty much guaranteed in a football venue, never mind grocery shop.

Edit - just checked, even Amazon are phasing it out in their stores in favour of an alternative system.
Never change Ev, never change 🤣

But it shouldn't be the reason why sectarianism died in Liverpool and stayed alive in Glasgow was because Everton and Liverpool didn't engage in politics. That's the reason why you don't have to worry about getting your throat sliced outside a pub in Liverpool for supporting wrong team. It's why when we played Liverpool at Wembley both sets of fans chanted Merseyside. Celtic and Rangers fans rioted on pitch. Because Everton and Liverpool don't get involved in politics, hospitals aren't full of injured people and you don't have players receiving serious death threats, such as Neil Lennon. My issue is same woman wouldn't have dreamt of turning up at GP with a T Shirt saying Free Cyprus considering Northern Turkey has been occupied for decades? Kurds have been massacred and oppressed for centuries, did she turn up with Kurdish flags to support them? No. Clubs endorsing political causes and allowing fans to use stadium to promote their agendas leads to problems. Most the problems in build up to Yugoslav wars were caused by a small extreme minority, who used sports as a vehicle to promote an agenda, that lead to people killing their neighbours. There's a reason why far more people have been seriously injured relating to Celtic v Rangers, compared to Merseyside derby and that's religion and politics.

I think you're getting politics mixed up with religion.

Not to get into trouble with mods, by bringing up issue again, but Everton were right. Politics has no place in sport, it hasn't worked well in Glasgow, Italy or Eastern Europe. In fact bringing politics into sport played heavy role in causing Balkan wars. During Euro 2016 you had Northern Irish with ROI fans singing together on ferry like it should be. You go to games to support Everton, if you wanna make political statements go to political meetings.

I enjoyed the stop oil fella 😅
 

Meant to put this up on Saturday, thought it was a good picture from an unusual(ish)vantage point (just on the bridge between Nelson Dock car park and the players car park).
