New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Did you put that on your stewards application with the club ?

If so I think I know why you got rejected

nope

 

[The binman chronicles]

Muckers who worked on the stadium posted on here a few weeks back to say he'd heard from LOR that they had squeezed more seats in and it would be just over 53k. But that South stand was deffo stated as 13k so it seems a big jump to 14,850 doesn't it .

It was always 15k if you counted the corners. You asked about the fact that the upper holds a lot more despite looking a similar size, that is down to the concentric nature of a stadium, each row around the pitch is bigger than the one below it, therefore by the time you get to the top there are a fair few more seats.

Hope you, and especially your dad, have a great day. What does he think of the new place?

He was blown away by it. Metaphorically, not literally, we didn’t get that close to the wind turbines. He’s just turned 73 so has been going to Goodison since the 60’s so he’s seen a lot of change there alone. We haven’t lived in Liverpool for decades though so rarely get chances to go to Goodison these days. He was like a little kid though, getting right up to the gates and getting photos which he immediately sent to our family WhatsApp group.

Good thing is he’s healthy so hopefully we’ll get a couple more games in at Goodison this season and then a good few at BMD too.

I know you go down there quite often and you’ve said about how you can’t appreciate the scale and it’s so true. Coming down the Regents Road past all the industrial sites and then you see the North Stand window looming large. Then walk down and see the South Stand too. Really is a thing of beauty.

Was it? Ah, well. That's that, then.

What's the general concensus on moving out of Goodison, mixed feelings I imagine?

Can’t come quick enough

Beautiful. Must have been like a reverse of him taking you as a kid, that gobsmacked look of joy, amazement and pride all smashed into one big daft grin or laugh.

Enjoy tomorrow pal

Using crayons to fill out the application would be good enough to bag the CEO role at Everton...and even in the unlikely event you get turned down for that, you'd probably get the managers job instead.

So only 5000 standing in the South stand lower. I wonder if people in the South stand upper will be unofficially standing as the Lower Gwladys has been for the last few years.

Most stand in the LG because the view is poor.
Can't see persistent standing being tolerated in the upper.
