New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[BackRow PE6]

Yeah, it bugs me every time I hear an Evertonian call it Castle Grayskull.

That was the hero’s lair, FFS!

nothing embodies them more than He-Man though. Stegged up grock with a bad trim running round thinking he’s boss

They dont know what they have done to ruin the skyline of the city with that hole punch of a stadium. Stand on the Wirral side of the river, see the eye catching Liver Buildings etc move across and see that monstrosity at the top, typical Americans, build big to be seen. Dan Meis designed what he was asked to by Evertonians.

Too right mate, we've got the Meis, they've got the Rats.

Hopefully this goes well and they open the upmarket river view restaurants in time on weekend nights when there's no matches at home.

I asked about booking 8 people, thinking at least one of the restaurants would be open, for a meal on a non-match weekend night and was quoted just over 1000 GBP!

It’s a monument to greed and nothing else

Just had to post this honestly on another planet some of the rs fans. Will agree would have loved stay at goodison because of the history. But the new stadium is just a massive wow everytime you go to it, and is something anfield will never be as you can only do so much becuase of the foundations. Really hope we can keep pushing to get the max out of the stadium making sure all tickets sold, looking to increase the capacity, get more things around the ground bars would even love a small museum or something to show some of the history of the club.

I'm going to guess that Andy is a vicar's son from Berkshire and has absolutely no idea about the history of Everton, the RS or Anfield. He does however treat his girlfriend to a visit to see Liverpool once a season and books a hotel in Chester because Liverpool is a bit too "urban" for him.

Was that not to rent out the actually area in the stadium? It's now available for events.

I asked how do I book (as I expected at least one restaurant to be open at weekends at least, but not on a home matchday) a meal for 8 of us and that was their answer.

£125 a head, 3 courses with some drinks? It doesn't seem overtly outlandish.

Drinks are extra - £26 plus VAT for a bottle of wine.

Two of the 8 are grandchildren.

Every day's a school day.

I've spent the best part of a decade thinking the man's name was Dan Meis - pronounced like the rodents.

I hate meises to pieces.

Had to laugh about the bit he says Liverpool are still in their spiritual home. They drove a lot of local people out of their homes just to expand their own foot print.

These sentences are in perfect harmony aren’t they.

Had to laugh about the bit he says Liverpool are still in their spiritual home. They drove a lot of local people out of their homes just to expand their own foot print. That was something that we decided was not worth doing to folks who live next to Goodison and prompted us t look for a new home.

The obstacle which blocked the Gwladys Street End for 23 years

Everton's famous home end is in its 80th year as a double decker stand

Then did the same at the Park end in the 80s/90s. As have several other clubs when expanding their grounds. The issue was perhaps the long term blight that was left in the process (often more a case of planning issues), which was similar to the Gwladys St redevelopment.... so it is a bit of "glass-house" argument tbf.
