It will have to get moved when the toffees are in the F.A Cup Final

The brick will be like a Pablo Escobars lads night out.

Even more than usual?

Could our last game at Goodison also be the end of the road for some of the pre-match watering holes? For some they must have made a killing on match days that would help them through the spells between matches.

Course it will be. The cash only rules crack me up on match day.

They're already closing. Off the top of my head, Springfield Inn and St Hilda's to name a couple.

Noticed the Melrose Abbey was closed after the Leicester game

It's inevitable really.

Always makes me smile too, but then again if it's not going through the books and they're not paying a fee to whatever contactless gadget they have to wave at you every time you buy a pint, maybe that keeps the price down for us customers.

Unless of course this will be the as yet unannounced 3rd test event....

Can't be, if you've put in for tickets for the test events and dont make the cut for the first 2
Your guaranteed a ticket for the 3rd event.
As the test events are only for season ticket holders and you cant be in two places at once there would be chaos with tickets changing hands

As there's gonna be loads of people locked out trying to get in to goodison, is it not possible for the club to put up a big screen at the new stadium for those locked out? Pretty sure that would help with crowd control. Just putting it on here in case anyone has anyone's ear.

Loads of pubs around ground to watch it in and be at ground later.

Nice idea but for my that day isn’t about the football. Hopefully also the result will not matter (in a good way).

It will be about all the experiences and memories that the place holds, but that will come with us.

I grew up a stone’s throw away and I sadly will be one of those locked out barring a miracle.

Absolutely - you worry for the likes of the Spellow and the Winslow, maybe the Crown (although they also get reds in there for home games)

Blue House is already moving to BMD

Dunno if the likes of The Brick and The Oak have enough footfall outside of match days to survive, but yeah, it will be a struggle for a lot of them I expect

 

[Lanolin]

Surely the whole point of wanting to be at Goodison for the last game is being at Goodison for the last time?! I'm sure it'll be on TV but I can't see what the appeal would be of being at BMD for it.
