This exactly, people will have a bevvy in the ground after the game.
Depends on what's on offer. If you have a GA ticket there looks to only be the concourse which will obviously be busy as people leave.

Dont know about a new station, they may have to build more toiletsOr you have three quarters of a gallon of Ale inside you
Is it just me, or are you just not acknowledging the city centre stations and the pull that travelling via the city centre will have for many, many fans?
I'll repeat. Sandhills is the same distance to BMD as Goodison is to Kirkdale. You know what else are similar distances? Goodison to Sandhills and BMD to Old Hall Street.
We're effectively going from having Bank Hall, Kirkdale and Sandhills as the stations that get used, to it being Sandhills, James Street and Old Hall Street/Moorfields.
Good old Bank Hall is also a viable option, and will be my station of choice for the journey to the ground. I'll head into town afterwards.
You say "Yes.... in terms of rail it's approximately 30% better than Goodison for direct services and capacity at Kirkdale"
Is Old Hall Street not 100% better then?
Again, I don't think you're taking into account the pull of the city centre and the knock-on effect it has upon what mode of transport people use. I know quite a few people who only use public transport to go to town.
I reckon the pull of the city centre will see more of our fans using public transport.
You know what else town has? A good bus station.
That will take seconds (maybe minutes) in a more modern ground, they are so well laid out. Will free up space very quickly if there is a market for "staying in" after games. spurs had done this well pre covid from what I believe
That would be absolutely perfect. I'm trying to remember from the planning docs if that was one of the spaces earmarked for coach parking.Does anyone know what the empty site off Great Howard Street is (between Sherwood and the Leeds Canal). A station could easily go there.
No, ofcourse i am taking them into account, but think that the distance from town is slightly prohibitive in terms of relative convenience, and ultimately will require a dedicated transit system as part of a proper strategy for moving those numbers of people through the limited number of routes to/from the site, or the site might fail the club's 60:40 threshold, with ensuing gridlock. A new transit system will never be prompted by a 20-30 event football ground alone, but if kick-started there is at least the added incentive of the other developments in Liverpool waters requiring it's own system or at least an additional station.
As you say, those stations mentioned are a similar distance from GP, and yet only a very small proportion of our matchgoers currently use the train.
Therefore, I think the relatively poor coverage of the northern line on the Liverpool side will dictate how useful that system is, and that extending existing bus services via town may well provide the bulk of the passengers to and from the ground.
Everton Shareholders Association held their monthly meetings in the Bramley moore pub for quite a while only a few yrs ago. I've done the walk from town many times for those meetings, from both Lime St and Liverpool 1 bus station. Pleasant enough on a nice day, but perhaps further than some people think, with Lime St literally almost as close to GP as it is to BMD, and the bus station probably 1.5 miles or more.
Of course the proximity to town is key. However, how this is exploited with effective links to those transport hubs is all important.
Blimey.This is the latest report of something that started in 2017. There is little coincidence of DBB having a significant leadership role. This will solve many of the issues, being placed within 0.6 mile from the ground.
