What people are really waiting for is the gates to open so we can wander round the site at our leisure. I'm certainly waiting for that. Will pop into the shop when I go then.

Between this, the transfer thread and panic about pre-season friendly results, July really brings out the worst in Evertonians.

Kind of has to have been, too. If they'd have given it too much fanfare, they'd have been anxious that people would conflate stadium store opening with stadium opening. Then it'd become a giant crowd control exercise with people wanting to get round to Everton Way, get onto the stepped plaza etc.

Doesn’t smell right to me, this one. Feels like one of those rumours engineered to flush out interest from elsewhere.

Is it? I assume that the attempt to do business will continue. Whether we’ll actually get any done is another matter - but I don’t think all transfer operations will grind to a halt for a week and a half.

They have the rights to it, yes. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbro

Because the players cost less, because transfers are cheaper, because there are fewer comparable leagues to the WSL than the PL and therefore fewer clubs in the market for the calibre of player we’re after. The clubs that are there internationally invest less time and effort in scouting...

Frustrates me, though, that our kit manufacturer owns the Umbro name and we still don’t get the logo on the retro kits.

If you think the women’s market is no easier than the men’s market then I don’t know what to tell you.

Because the market is less mature and transfers are a lot easier because they are a lot more affordable.

Great signs that the Friedkins are serious about investment, isn’t it? If they weren’t, we wouldn’t have signed ten players across both teams already.

I like it. The design of the stadium, and the working class heritage of our club, suits that sort of honest, industrial appearance I think. But I get why some don’t like it.

Looks great to me. I love the exposed concrete in the concourses, too.

I think I object to the name as much as I do the slapdash word spacing. “Official Store.” It’s hardly going to be an unofficial store selling DHgate knock-offs when it’s on the front of the club’s actual football stadium, is it?

Has Steve Rotherham arranged for his barriers to make everyone feel better about Sandhills grinding to a halt at 9am when the store opens?

Everything I've seen and heard about this guy tells me he's a pretty dreadful character.

'Tastefully rustic, UNESCO-compliant.'

All of which is bad in my book - but then you see this - and he wants this deathtrap to be open to fans for the Roma game, too: (Image courtesy of @Noggsy blue 's video) Look at the state of that roof 'repair', FFS. That and the craptastic Brexit tent tells you everything you need to know...

No chance they’d separate the fan plaza. They will be to make sure people only go to the store and don’t go wandering around the rest of the site while it’s still being worked on.

I like the tune, I like the instrumentation… I just think the audio quality of the recording we use is a bit rubbish! I don’t want electric guitars or a dubstep drop or anything mad… I’d just like better sound quality!
