New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[If You Know Your History]

Did you go to the Brighton game? I thought today’s atmosphere was in comparison, Although I didn’t think it was any quieter than the average game at Goodison.

You've hit the nail on the head:

It's not the stadium - it's some of our fans.

When we as a fan base did get going, it was pretty darn loud or at least it seemed so from our seats.

Yep. It has the potential to be the loudest stadium in the land.

The queue at 14.53 , don’t know which turnstiles, the view is from club view

That's absurd.

They should be recompensed.

So this is just going to be one of those “someone posted a picture out of context and everyone slates the club for 10 pages” threads now? Sound.

Disgusting that. I've only been there once but I noticed straight away what an ignorant bunch they were. And reading the experience of others that seems to be confirmed.

Made my blood boil there today seeing an army of them watching the game in the stadium. Hi-viz jackets everywhere all game like they owned the bleeding place. They're surely not trained to be in the stadium like that? Something wrong somewhere there...and then it was all topped of with one of them congratulating Harvey Elliott on his return to Merseyside. Someone needs to have a word with this lot and quick or there'll be a lot of trouble down there.

Their reputation is in the bin already IMO.

That's beyond belief

didn’t you hear about them winning the bloody battle of the dock against the Hill Dickinson mob? It’s theirs now

The army of stewards could maybe chip in with...erm...the stewarding, rather than all be watching the game, as looked to be the case today.

Everton's stewarding bill must be off the charts. I read the other day there's well over twice as many stewards at the BMD as at GP. It looks like more than that.

Wow, shouting about stadium assistants on minimum wage today now?

You genuinely wouldn't surprise me if you do vote reform after all.

Made the mistake of trying the walk-through food kiosk thingy yesterday....as expected, massively overcharged for £31, when all I bought was a sausage roll.
Who the feck needs to be contacted about this?
Told myself I'd not buy anything at the ground, after reading reviews from previous game. Learnt my lesson, will be stashing my own in next time

I have found the Arriva bus service to and from Liverpool One to be very slick, well organised and useful. Today after the match I needed to head to Lime Street so opted for the Stagecoach (919) service to Commutation Row. Never again. Amateur clown show. 2 buses, poorly filled, desperately slow process, left me and scores of others still waiting.
No bus returned within 35 minutes. Girl ‘organising’ bus loading didn’t have a clue when the buses would reappear. I gave up and walked. Next time I need Lime Street, I’ll use Arriva and walk from Liverpool One to the station. Be warned!

I was in that 919 queue Manx, and due to a recent foot injury had no option on walking.
The first two buses filled up quick smart and set off about 5.20 they then had to drive into town and then fight their way back in.
One arrived at about 6.35 by then the road clean up gang had come along and removed all the bus lane cones !!
I Arrived at Commutation Row pretty quickly though it had to be said.

But for 1 and a quarter hours we were all stood there watching the traffic go by*
*Now at gone 6 o'clock was this match traffic or general traffic??

Living in Australia and at my age, this was my one and only time.
God help the poor punters who will have to do it on a regular basis, especially in the winter when its cold dark and wet.
I'm as keen an Evertonian as the next bloke but there no way I'd be doing that on a regular basis - sod that for a lark.

I know its only Game 2 and it's early days yet, but somebody (Who ?) needs a good arse kicking for this.

It's not too hard...
Pre-match the bus numbers are maybe OK (??) because people arrive over 2 and a half hours
post match - put on more buses to cope with the short term load and make them free to speed the loading process...include it in the already exorbitantly expensive ticket.
I know 52,000 people won't use public transport so a nominal 25p?? out of the ticket price and pay the bus companies direct.

Get somebody in charge who knows wtf they're doing !!

That is literally all you bought? One sausage roll?

Did you pick anything else up before you decided on a sausage roll? Cos there’s a tracker on each section that, if not put back correctly will count as a purchase

Must have been one hell of a sausage roll.

What direction do you travel mate.
I park in the industrial streets at the bottom of Bankhall 20 minute walk to the ground.
Then I drive home towards Crosby, haven't had a problem at all for any other games.
Mind you, I would imagine going through town would be a nightmare

I travel from Leeds have gone M62 into the city centre for all test events and matches so far. Yesterday was the worst journey (some said it was due to university’s returning this weekend), Mansfield was also tricky.

Approaching from the North sounds like it might be better but I’m worried about parking options from the North - I was expecting businesses to open up like the taxi club parking used to but haven’t seen any options mentioned on here and haven’t been early enough pre match yet to risk exploring.

Grateful for any suggestions. (Moving from Leeds probably won’t fly)

Nope, knew what I wanted (well it was for my son, who didn't accompany me), one lift of one item and out of there. I've two pre -auth transactions one for £20, the other for £11, pretty sure roll was £8, as I checked before going in

Just noticed I got charged £35+ for grabbing two pints.

I have serious contempt for the people who thought this would work.
