New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Went for the first time on Monday. Notes on the place:

The walk was 25 mins from where we were staying on the north side of the city centre - that's what my Mrs' health watch thing timed it at, and we walk at a fair lick.

The walk down Waterloo/Regent Road on a drizzly Monday night was absolutely miserable. Dark (for some reason the street lights weren't on), bounded on one side by the dock wall and on the other by mixed use commercial units in varying states of repair, punctuated by the odd 'pub'. I assume it's nicer on a sunny Saturday afternoon but it does give the feeling that you're walking to an industrial park with a football ground on it. I thought the approach to the ground and concourse area didn't exactly scream 'Everton'.

Inside the ground, absolutely amazing. I've been to grounds all round Europe and in England and our stadium is the most amazing place I've ever watched a game of football. It's insane how good the noise and the sight-lines are in there and difficult to describe to someone who's not experienced it. Knocks every other ground into a cocked hat. I felt absolutely euphoric (right up until some Man United twonk scored). The 1878 flag display looked brilliant.

Presumably the surrounds, walk-up and access are a work in progress, so see how it looks again in a few years.
Superb review.

Friends: Next week, what time would be good to get to Ten Streets Social for some pre game food considering the game is at 17:30?

First time at the Dock so suspect it would get very rammed very quick!

If you're considering food, I would go with @Rich1878 and be there for 2, at the latest. If you want a drink alone, you'll get in right until the end.
 
Tickets on sale this morning for an "open training session" at HD on Tuesday the 7th April. Haven't seen anything advertised yet but they are available to members for free. Just snapped one up. Heads up, unless you all know and I've completely missed an announcement!

Had an e-mail last week regarding a takeover for Easter. A lot of free activities for kids at the stadium on the week of the 6th April.

Good for any junior members including this open training session!

Is the training session just for juniors or any age?

I thought this was a good idea since we are so gash there and becoming even more familiar with playing in front of fans is defo needed.

Hard to say but earlier the better

I imagine having not had a Saturday game since before Christmas that fans will be well up for a few pints

I know I am
