New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[WelshBlue92]

The roof structure is quite complicated and modifying it would be no easy task. Particularly the North/South stands as it is carried by the full span trusses (2 north, 3 south) which were assembled on the ground, craned into place, and then temporarily supported.

The East and West stands are supported by cantilever trusses and would, in theory, be easier to modify.

If there was going to be any expansion of the stadium capacity, then i think the East stand would be the place to do it, but it would not be cheap and it would compromise the whole aesthetic of the roof.

Yeah if its just one stand expanded (East for example) then it affects the aesthetics of the roof compared to the other stands and if East, West and South are expanded then they likely need to completely remodel the whole roof and support structure which I imagine would be enormously expensive, especially for the "cheap" seats. It's why I think any increase of this scale would require additional boxes/corporate spaces to make it profitable - and even then it would require a strong business case/demand.

No - I've parked at Hunts Cross and come in from there and it was 8 carriage trains the whole way. 8 car trains can't stop at Cressington though, so they miss that station out

Ahh, that’s good to know. I knew there was an issue but wasn’t clear exactly what it was.

Interesting info below, it’s the match day yield per fan per match (avg ticket and concessions spend).

It’ll be interesting to see how much ours increases after a season at HDS.

How were we only be £22?! I assume that doesn't include the price of the ticket? Surely even the cheapest season tickets were more that and the more expensive tickets would push the average up in any case.

Interesting, I thought, that they lower the blinds before the match - forcing everyone out to watch the football.

I'm sure this has been asked previously but has anyone had any hassle bringing small bags/backpacks into the ground?
I'm having to stay over at a mates house the night before the palace game due to train issues.
I'll have to bring a small bag.

Looking beautiful in EAFC26.

Missing the upper level of LED advertising boards, just concrete. But detailing great, and looks really tight to the pitch on panning shots.

They did. You can see them going down as they leave their seat in the restaurant and then you can see them fully down when they get to their padded seat

Pretty sure you can use the Titanic Hotel parking

Only if you use the part controlled by Eurocarparks an you have to pay,
The rest is for hotel patrons only as far as I'm aware

Ha, yes - I think you missed my comma after "I thought" - I meant I thought it was interesting that they did that! I didn't realise until watching the video.

I know what they’ve said about only allowing A4 size bags, but for both the Brighton and Villa games I’ve seen several people with pretty large backpacks
