New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Ruairi77]

Don't know if it's been posted so apologies if so but this lad seems to give a positive and balanced review of the new ground. Definitely knows a thing or two about it given the amount of grounds he's been to.

haha,
like the bit where he's moaning about modern football and Beto scores.

Perhaps other parts of the ground are serving drinks ?

The south stand bars remain open; I even got a text message just after the final whistle at the Brighton game reminding me and inviting me down for a post-match drink.

Was she on your row?

Alas, I never found out. We were off to the Glasshouse on Vauxhall Road to audition it as our new post-match venue.

Message read:

Great win to open our new home! Come and celebrate in the South Stand bar. Open for the next hour COYB!!

At the end where he summarised he was overall positive about it.

It is possible to have issues with some aspects yet come away with a positive overall view.

Not in Daves world it isnt

We haven’t sold out any of our games yet. Brighton was 51k and Mansfield was 48k.

I agree on the expansion bit though. There may come a time when we need that size stadium, but it’s not now.

Pish. Kopite view.

Sold out tickets in demand apparently what Americans love, yet only effing Everton can fail to fill a brand new stadium.

 

[Davideeyore]

Yeah, absolutely.

The ballots are massively over-subscribed, so the demand for a normal match ticket is there.

Unfortunately - but understandably - Everton are trying to squeeze as much out of us as they can, hence a large chunk going to Seat Unique.

I expect that to reduce over time, the club ultimately want to sell every seat, so there will be more available in the ballots in time.

There's something not right with all of this. I can't speak for Everton but if they're leaving many seats empty (don't care what reason, or who's responsible, a seat is a seat), then they need to be on it already.

Oh no I’ve been rumbled. I can return to RAWK and regale them with tales of cheese on toast and bed wetting over right backs.

How come I didn't get that text? Or is is only selected people that got it....

Got an email that I was successful in the ballot for the West Ham game in block 231 row 62. Is that not bang in the middle of the away fans

You’re above the away fans

I don't think my brother got it either, and we're both season ticket holders in the same stand.

Presume I've ticked a box somewhere at some point and you/he haven't.

They're declaring sell outs to push the matchday corporate and corporate lite sales. They're testing that market, seeing how far that they can push it.

I think they're playing with fire with Seat Unique packages. We don't have the vast out of town or International support of our neighbours, with thousands of fans prepared to spend small fortunes every week for once a year or even once a lifetime visits. There's a chance that we'll see large numbers of away fans in home sections for certain team's visits.

Absolutely spot on.
