That also means they'll have access to the shared concourse that wraps around 3 sides of the ground.... which could be chaotic.

Lots of potential for the away fans of bigger clubs getting on this then.

Can't see why they aren't at both grounds tbh. People talk about Everton branding on the new stadium. These are Everton icons, this is the Everton Stadium. An absolute no brainer. Cast copies and get them on the plaza.

Shouldn't sponsorship deals appear in Everton's accounts also? At first glance, it does sound improbable that a company with those turnover/profit figures would sponsor a football club to the tune of £10m per year. However, if they see it generating far more business or facilitating...

I was, and I wasn't tbh. I could see why it was part of that initial reveal, to force a clear connection etc. It also reminded me of one those South American stadiums with the club name emblazoned on a mostly plain side wall in massive letters, as the only adornment...... and the clearest "our...

The original renders all seemed to show EVERTON in large letters on the south stand glass frontage. They seem to have done away with that and gone with subtlety, presumably thinking that exterior is a very distinctive design that will soon be known and recognised nationally/internationally as...

I got mine on Monday.... (thinking my son had already it sorted it last week). There were thousands left at that point.

It was clear from the start that this site was always going to be anti-car..... the stated required modal shift to public transport was a dramatic one, which appears to have gone over the heads of many drivers. The issue then, being that it was also a bit of a public transport blindspot...

The problem with lots of cars wanting to access the Love Lane and other areas off Grt Howard St is that it won't take much to gridlock the whole area. This happened before the last event with the strand and junction with Leeds St/Grt Howard St completely locked up. This stopped a lot of shuttle...

There's already a Sea shanty that mentions Bramley Moore Dock....

Yes, a real life test event of everything, including transport. Led to little or no protest from fans or club. Unless there's a real dangerous incident.... I think they'll probably comfortably fob everyone off. If it turns into gridlocked mayhem with ridiculously long dispersal times, they'll...

Yes, but there were some issues with less than half that number attending, and no real protest materialised on here, or elsewhere for that matter. Knowsley council were more than prepared to cap the capacity at Kirkby, which after getting what they really wanted (a shopping Mall) would've been...

Yes, the horse has bolted. The first test events were months ago and the issues pretty well documented, but any protest on here or elsewhere has been pretty muted tbh.

We've known the shortfall and potential problems since the transport plan was first published 5yrs or more ago. When I first mentioned my reservations on here, the majority simply said..... it's a short walking distance from town.

Walking has always been their fall-back. Their other argument will be to say that they supplied all the agreed provision, based on the club's plan, which in turn was based on the club's fanbase and consultation data, where the club asked the fans how we would be travelling to/from the match etc...

Rotheram will simply say that this is the club's transport plan, created by the club's transport experts using the club's fanbase and consultation data, for the club's planning application...... all to show that this site, with its access to the Northern line capacity, Shuttle bus capacity...

I agree. I think that it is essential to test all aspects fully. I think the legends game should be a separate test event and not something used to artificially spread out post match dispersal. Maybe it should even be a freebie for all season ticket holders and members to fill the place and test...

Both trial events struggled to keep their attendees in the ground till the end. On both occasions, it looked like half or more had already left before the final whistle (despite the fact that the last one was stopped early in the 2nd half). So, normal matchday egress/dispersal has been nowhere...

Not being "sure" is neither pessimism nor optimism.... by definition.

There are lots of facilities in Liverpool's 2 new stands. 3 times more boxes, more hospitality/corporate seats, more lounge space overall and a higher capacity generally. In Euros 96, Stanley Park was turned into a fanzone, now one end of the stadium sits in the Park with fuller access.... and...
