Goodison Park

[Daytripper]

I grew to resent it in a way, like one of the big reminders as to how much the club had regressed, became archaic.

I miss the walk up to Goodison. BMD is infinitely better, but those narrow streets, the Ale houses on route, it's not the same (yet).

My match day routine still gives me the chance to walk these streets, then the pubs, then another 50 mins of walking!

The thing I miss most about Goodison is the shady bogs at the back of GT4! Ideal place for a quick half time burst rather than go down to the concourse and have to wade through loads of people to get to the ones down there.

I now go in the lower South at the new gaff and the toilets there are just way too small.

I have been back on four occasions since the Southampton game at the end of last season and I still love going to the ground. The walk to Goodison has always been something I have enjoyed but I have noticed how County Road is obviously much calmer now on a matchday and I miss how lively it got around there on a matchday when I am walking to the ground now.

The toliets in the lower South at the new gaff are way too small.

I previously sat at the back of the Lower Gwladys, so they were always easy for me to access when I needed to access them. Now, you sometimes end up in a queue in the Upper South. At least the new ground has hot water as I would sometimes end up shivering after washing my hands in the Lower Gwladys lavatories.

Glad it was saved for the women's football team ....

Same here mate. Really struggling with the transition from the Lower Gwladys to the Upper South. Hoping to move down to the Lower South next season but don’t think we’ll ever get the same level of atmosphere as the street end at the new place unfortunately.

When we get the atmosphere going at the new place it can be the match of it. This is more down to the people that made that noise have dispersed all around.

If we think the atmosphere is poor it's up to each and every one of us to change that.

I do miss the clattering of the wooden seats that was a precursor to a chance or a goal.

Really missing the Blue Dragon.

This too.

We’ve more or less, with the exception of Arsenal at home have played half of the seasons home games.
What do you still miss about Goodison, and does anyone feel better for the move to Bramley Moore?

Goodison..I remember being slagged many years ago (toffeeweb) for pointing out it was a relic that was not fit to advance our team. Great nights are about the team and supporters, not the venue although some are better than others. For me the 'Old Lady' smelt of incontinence a long time back when it was clear we could not generate the revenue to compete.

I still get a bit tearful thinking about Goodison, I miss the place, but I love our new home too & wouldn't go back to Goodison now.
Love the view from my new seat.

This Canadian is just thankful to have been there on three occasions -- the last one in 2007 for a 2-0 win over Boro in what was my late father's last trip home. Still have the tickets.
