Kopites absolutely seething.

We build stadiums and they knock them down.

People need to walk around more as there was a massive queue for the toilets in the South Stand and the one next to it was straight in and out. People just need to get their bearings.

My gripe was why on earth have carragher there on out big day? He hates us and ridicules us at every possibility.

with his being a blue as a kid it qualifies him enough to suit their impartiality code. just avoid him.

Fantastic day. Made up to get the win, and the atmosphere was pretty good. Very loud.

Still some teething issues getting into Gate 2, with big queues. Is strange, as gate 1, right next to it, had a small queue of about 15-20, Gate 2 was a tailed back queue of a few hundred.

Tricky getting food and drink at half time, and big queues for the bogs. When we kicked off the 2nd half, stadium looked about half full as people obviously still waiting in lines in the concourse.

Found my stone easily enough, and had a little sit on the Western terrace, which looked ace in the sunshine.

Main thing: 3 points in the bag.

I echo this

Gate 2 had a queue but all of 10mins wait to get in.
The queues for the food as soon as you entered made the place feel a little bunched but I’m putting that down to the time of the game (2pm maybe some we’re getting lunch in the ground)

Half time, we left a couple of mins before the whistle to get drinks, not an issue with queues.

All in all a great experience with teething issues that will get ironed out.

Good to know. I thought there was no parking nearby?

I parked just at the bottom of Bankhall where it meets Great Howard street, on the little industrial streets there. No problem at all, takes 20 minutes to walk to the ground and that was a leisurely stroll.

Stadium looks magnificent on TV.
One quibble - would have preferred away supporters to be out of sight of the cameras

Unfortunately thats in the PL rules now, that they have to be pitchside and on show. Older grounds are grandfathered in but its a requirement for a new stadium.

Pretty much everything is great, the only thing that needs sorting is the queues on the concourse. A lot of people just wanted beer, but are held up by people ordering food that takes longer. Maybe some kind of extra division for some drinks only lanes could help with this. Normally I would use an e-bar but I couldn't see any of them on the South lower.

And kill people

...almost goes without saying.

There is one in the south-east corner, facing away from block 10.

They can't sleep thinking about this stadium.

They're all over their social media spreading their bile.

Great to read all the positive comments - truly.

But I really miss Goodison.
