New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Been thrown in the family enclosure by the ballot for united. Block 125, gate 1. Normally sit in south upper or south east upper/lower. Personally never had any teething issues getting in the ground yet.

Is that side of the ground still bad or has it improved?

I'm assuming the smart money is to take the long way around and go up the south across the west to the NW corner and also thus missing the bottle neck of dirty scruffy mancs ? Or is it sound now just head to NE and up that way?

not sure about the queue situation but in terms of avoiding the manc tramps you should be ok before the game heading in the NE corner. After can be a nightmare though as they let everyone out together so you'll be in amongst them.

Should not be letting opposing fans out at the same time as our fans, it's a conflict/ accident waiting to happen. What do other teams do, do they keep opposing fans in after the game ?

Not in my experience, and we stopped at Goodison years ago although I appreciate there was less of a bottleneck on Bullens road.

It’s madness that the family enclosure spills out and walks right into the away fans exiting.

Terrible egress design.

I've seen a few other posts about this. I sat in the Upper Bullens a few blocks along from the away fans and aways came out at the same time as them and this was never a problem there. Personally don't see why its a problem at the new place.

Gate 1 has never been bad!

Just the bottle neck if you walk down the north to get out with away fans coming out…. Usually celebrating after they have won!

I think they should bring in a ticket exchange membership. A free membership that allows season ticket holders or sells to transfer to the free membership but maybe a £3.50/£5 exchange fee.

That way if someone is able to go to a friends odd game or two the dont need the expense of a full membership just the transfer fee. That way the club would still get something and the ground would be full.

I couldn’t believe this when I did it after Sunderland. That’s going to kick off at some point.

Kettled in a small lane way with just a waist height tiny barrier separating the thousands of fans.

Im not in the North Stand but cant you just walk round inside to the East Stand and exit from there to avoid the away fans outside?

Not if you're in the family enclosure. The concourse is enclosed and you have to leave by the designated exit. Then you're swept up the outside of the north stand by the crowd.

It's not rocket science.

Club badly need to sort out a singing section next season. It'll turn around the atmosphere immediately. We just don't have the time to create the community vibe that Goodison had. Stick a load of like-minded blues together who know that everyone around them is committed to getting the atmosphere going and and the place will be electric.

Going in there'll be no issue

If your wait until the final whistle it depends which way you're going.
If heading towards the centre, going south under the steps of the west stand is much faster. I've heard that you can walk round the carpark and Nelson Dock from the South West corner and avoid the congestion at the gates opposite the Bramley Moore pub
If going north still go south but exit out one of the middle gates

Don't bother going under the north stand.

The club seem to be using the land north of the stadium as player parking and to store pitch growing equipment. I'm sure they can widen the access if need be

It's just the crush getting out mate, if trouble starts no amount of police will get through the melee to stop it, as I said it's an accident waiting to happen and I hope it never does.
