Homepage Article Goodison Park to become the permanent home of Everton Women

I think this is brilliant news and very sensible economically. I thought all the plans for regeneration were a bit underwhelming tbh.

Great for the growth in the women’s game and I hope that it attracts players to the club so we can really compete. I will go and watch them play at Goodison for sure.

I wonder if there will be 2 or 3 cushions on every seat and who will put the bins out?

I saw the woman's derby at castle grayskull the other week and actually enjoyed it. The idea of standing in an old school scalled down version of the Gwladys has me hyped like hell. I've already paid for my season ticket for the men so I'm pretty sure I can get into see the woman for free (shows what I know about what I'm actually entitled to tbh!) but I wouldn't even mind handing over somthing like a £100 for a second seasom ticket for the woman's side and U21's if that helped the growth so long as the club doesn't get greedy with the price of season tickets at the new place.

Doesn't dilute Sunday for me. I might go to an Everton ladies game in future just to sit in Goodison again, but it won't have the same stakes involved and it won't have that life or death atmosphere.

Very likely there will be parts closed and perhaps stand(s) demolished by then too.

It's a good move, keeps a part of history intact and gives the womens team a chance to grow larger crowds

the life and death atmosphere will go to BMD!

Brilliant news tbh, think it would have to be redeveloped to a smaller capacity to be completely viable mind. Raises the profile of the club massively imo, opens up more potential revenue streams.

Still hoping the land at the Park End can be redeveloped into something useful

Probably to dissuade the fans from gutting the place.

That has crossed my mind

We build, we don't demolish.

You mean we don't knock walls down, we build them

 

[Ged G]

Great news but surely it will fail its safety tests? It was about to nearly 18 years ago…

Stop being negative. It won't

 

[toffeeblue9]

I am instinctively against this, but I'm unable to articulate why exactly.

I think I just don't want to see a watered down, rebuilt version of it.

I'm emotionally all over the place

 

[James Patrick]

We'll be able to move back in 200 years when BMD is underwater. English Heritage will be protesting about the demolition of the oldest 20th century built end still standing in football - the Park End

Mens team, women's team, it doesn't matter. It's still Everton and we're still playing at Goodison.

I think is a great idea hopefully we all can get to see what plans they have for goodison seeing what the do to the structure, and how it changes. Also keeps memories alive by have the stadium there even if changes. Hopefully raises the profile of the ladies team and we can get more fans going.

Think it a good move for ladies... Also, for local businesses in and around L4, shows a commitment by new owners that it's not all about what the EPL can make them. Myself totally unfazed by departing Goodsison for Bramley Moore.
