New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Sharp in attendance.

Doesn't hold with me that.

Just keep away you rat.

Let bygones be bygones life is to short, I think he knows he was wrong.

Nice seeing the HT crowd scenes: the fans lapping it up.

Must be nice for people from places like Ivory Coast and Scotland to be in that stadium which gives them a little glimpse of the future and to dream what could be for them in time.

Even Pattinson?

Have to say it hit home going to the Chinese supermarket today.
Turning in to Bounadary street the magnificent ground stood tall from a mile away....but jeez it's grey and the HD wording is finally bugging me, although i've said nowt up to now. Not a badge or a bit of blue in site....even from 150 metres the token crests are hidden.

Driving home past Stanley park..boom.
Yep Goodison looked tiny but the royal blue gable ends on stands and the massive white G O O D I S O N shouts home.
Not even any signs on tall posts on boundary street saying the home of Everton.
Dave K gets stick but he's right with this one.
Why have we not even done the Everton stuff on the seats yet?
Can't just be down to upsetting the sponsors surely? Quite strange the lack of identification this ground has.
I thought the same on my first visit in August but truly thought it'd be sorted now.

I get this sentiment but what is the worry here? Do you know it’s the Everton stadium? Of course. Does anybody who has ever been within 150 metres of it know it’s the Everton stadium? Yes.

I’m not sure what group of people we are meant to be concerned about here.

Nice feeling though seeing our own gaff hosting these international events again,takes me back to being a little kid back in 1973 and Northern Ireland hosting England at the grand old lady

We all make mistakes in life and he probably does. Great to see him back.

Whilst I agree,he was still moaning the other month about how the fans "treated" him

Zero contrition has come from him.

I know mate an a apologise would of been nice, but it's Graeme Sharp we owe him too much as fans. Maybe he was influenced by others to say things and I know he's a grown man and should of known better but still..

I love seeing blue and white mate. I don't blame you for questioning me about my thoughts but i am just baffled by the low key aproach to this ground.
Goodison was known by everbody for over 100 years but it did not stop them from plastering the point it was our home as soon as you left queens drive.
Even southport have their seats showing their name as most clubs do.
As i say i'm just saddened and dissppointed by it. It is wrong.

Remember it quite well...peaking through the turnstiles ,catching a glimpse of Banks in his England kit.
Seemed important back then.

How condescending is this

No need to include the Ivory coast in that statement at all.

The South stand looks good dressed in saltires.

The South stand looks good dressed in saltires.

The south stand dividing wall looks great covered in flags: take note, Everton.

35,000 gate.

That's pathetic for a country that's playing it's last British friendly before the World Cup finals.

The Welsh and the Irish fill that stadium under those circumstances.

It's a Tueday night Dave, people have better things to spend their money on than a jarg friendly, and there's more people live in London than the whole of Scotland.

Let them enjoy the game, the ground and the City.

Just had a mosey at some old photos of Goodison. This is from 1938, nary any outside signage about the club. I don't know when exactly the outside of the ground became more heavily advertised.

1960

And from 1965.
