New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium


Everton that...
An Everton fan said it was "amazing" to have finally taken his son to see a game thanks to the inclusion of a sensory room at the club's new stadium.
Stephen Simpson watched his friends bring their children to Goodison Park over the years, thinking his autistic son Joe would never be able to go with him.
He said that while Joe, now 21, could not watch games at the Blues' former stadium, the sensory room at Hill Dickinson Stadium meant they had been able to do so.
Stephen told the BBC it meant "everything to bring Joe here"

"I have always wanted to bring him since he was little and I just never had the opportunity," he said.
"He wouldn't be able to go to Goodison with the way it was because it would have been too loud for him."
Stephen spoke about the moment Everton's anthem - the theme tune from 1960s TV show Z-Cars - began to play on the public address system when they attended a pre-season friendly earlier this month.
"It was just amazing watching Joe's face," he said.
"He was a little bit overawed with the noise but it was a really nice feeling, sharing it with him."
Joe said it was "great" to be there to enjoy the atmosphere and watch a game with his family.
He said using the sensory room as a quiet space during half-time had made it possible.

It’s been grim supporting us for the past 30 years, but we finally have something to be proud of and we deserve it!!

UTFT!!
Finally, after all of Bill's broken promises and failed projects, the years of worrying about PSR issues and everything in between, we're finally about to kick off a real game in our shiny beautiful new home. šŸ’™
