Whilst it's amazing looking, it looks ICE cold. Look out for icebergs.

Based purely on my one visit on Sunday, menacing may not be the word that could be applied to our new home. Im talking of the acoustics from the section where the away support is housed is extremely audible. Away teams could well be emboldened. Two games in and both Brighton and Mansfield fans claiming they out shouted us. Im not sure about that in that travelling fans of all teams generally are vocal most of the time, but in doing so are unlikely to hear the resident supporters.It's fair to say now after a few games have passed and the novelty of the stadium has begun to fade - at least slightly - realities are beginning to bite.
Goodison was a menacing stadium for away teams, and it's going to take a long time to replicate it at what looks to be a more neutrally laid out and anodyne new stadium.
Avalon car park on pumpfields road. £4. 20 minute walk to stadiumParked up and got away with no issues. The only downside was paying £20 to park. Hopefully find somewhere cheaper than that.
I think it was a menacing stadium. Unfortunately in latter years when we weren’t playing well our own team could find it more menacing than the opposition at times……Our record at Goodison in recent years was not good at all, other than at the back end of the season when we were in relegation trouble. Of course if we had won more home games, we would not have been in trouble in the first place. So I don't agree with this idea teams were afraid of coming to Goodison and we're losing that.
I didn't go on Sunday, but the Mansfield fans were the loudest away fans I've heard against us. To me they sounded a lot louder than any opposition at Goodison. Could be the fact that it was a big allocation for a cup game but most likely the stadium acoustics.Based purely on my one visit on Sunday, menacing may not be the word that could be applied to our new home.

It feeds back into each other, they're not discrete.All of this is only an issue for those watching on telly isn’t it. Like most ST holders, I’m not arsed about what it looks like on Sky. The stadium is magnificent, whether it looks it on TV or not.
If this is the case and it should be, why did they have a huge bank of seats empty on the upper stand? Note; no need for mass empty seats on the lower level. Segregation argument doesn't add up

Prior to it being the 'Hill Dickinson' the account you are replying to was up in arms about the historical aspect of the Bramley Moore Dock and it's associations with the slave trade from over two centuries ago.Christ, you talk some plums.
You’ve spoiled what should have been a fantastic thread with your constant faux outrage.

How many were under Moyes, they obviously don't count.5 wins at home last season suggests otherwise
