That was just a 'placeholder' i.e. somewhere where they had identified branding could be located but wouldn't necessarilly put something there. It was more for stadium naming rights than anything and it appears they have gone down a different route with Hill Dickinson. Prefer to have the...

Was thinking that. Hopefully it's the last letter they paint on, last thing we need is to give the childish kopite whoppers even more ammunition.

Revenue isn't exactly stellar however, they made a £56m profit last year which is quite remarkable on that turnover. https://www.lawgazette.co.uk/news/hill-dickinsons-top-earner-nets-12m-as-profits-surge-again/5121515.article Whilst i don't believe they are paying us £10m/annum, i expect it is...

I've had worse I suppose... :lol:

I raised the disparity in public transport infrastructure spend not too long ago in here, the North-South divide is stark to say the least. I agree that funds are limited however, i don't feel enough is being done by the Council to support the stadium and surrounding development in terms of...

Maybe so, but we've just invested close to £1bn in a derelict part of the city with further significant investment potentially on the horizon. We have retained Goodison for the Womens team and will also look to invest in them and the local area. Not to mention all the work that EITC do...

I thought this quote from the BBC article was particularly laughable. So his solution to the problem is that he hopes fans will stay away from the near £1bn stadium we've built, spend their money elsewhere and simply walk from town. That's the spirit; ignore the problem and hope it resolves...

Wouldn't surprise me if we had done the same for the first fixture at BM for similar reasons.

Cycle lane was meant to be blue! The council must have changed the specification during the technical approval process. Pity.

The club published the number of seats when they went presented each stand a while back, the total number came to 53,400. 12,000 WEST 14,800 EAST 11,800 NORTH 14,800 SOUTH

Yeah exactly. I think even if we had triggered the automatic obligation, we'd still need to do these negotiations anyway.

Athletic are reporting the purchase option runs until the end of May. We've just missed the automatic obligation that set in after 9(?) games. So technically no-one else can do anything until that expires and it leaves us free to tie up a deal.

She's openly admitted her son is a blue. Maybe he gets that from his Dad...whoever he is?

I expect all of the western elevation and the North/South west corners are sealed along with any hospitality spaces etc. Ultimately, the GA concourses are akin to a multi-storey car park. I think you'll be surprised at how well protected from the elements they are...however, they will not be...

I went the first test event and it was proper cold. That being said, was cold everywhere. Only the same at Goodison though i suppose. I sit in the paddock and the concourses there aren't heated, although they have no openings and are a lot more compact which will help retain heat.

Natural ventilation. The general access concourses aren't a heated space so no need for sealed windows which would then require mechanical ventilation. That's my understanding of it anyway.

Hill Dickinson were around before the club existed and were known as Duncan, Hill & Dickinson from about 1872. Never has there been such a furore over their name until being announced as stadium sponsors. Hill and Dickinson are two very common surnames. Plenty of people were aware of the...

over 14,000 ;)

Ah ok, never looked at that one. Ta mate.
