New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Think that's a good point. I can't think of any valid reason why cards can't be issued other than trying force usage of the resale site and/or membership fees out of more and more people.

The club are/were under pressure from the EPL to go digital, also there is an enviromental issue wirh plastic cards.

Experimental Parking Zone to be introduced around Everton FC’s new stadium - Liverpool Express

As someone that will be travelling in by car, could anyone recommend a place to park? I've seen Costco mentioned but I think they have a 3 hour limit so by the time the game has happened and walking to and from the stadium its cutting it close.

I reckon they'll put up signs about match day parking like they currently do at places like the Sainsbury's on Great Homer Street.

Or they'll just cut parking times to 90 minutes or something.

Personally, I tend to use driveways on JustPark.

A sail boat down the mersey might be the best option going forward fella.

This is completely OTT from the council imo

So many of those business streets are pretty much abandoned, with no cars at all at the weekend.

The firms down there will make a killing charging for parking

The Premier League clubs have come to a decision on digital ticketing.

They have voted to make it mandatory for all PL clubs as from the 2026/27 season.

Promoted clubs will be allowed two years to bring in digital ticketing.

The Premier League announcement (see below) means that all Newcastle United fans will have to use digital ticketing apart from, as is already the case, certain exceptions – ‘Clubs will retain some discretion to make some tickets available in other formats to supporters who have reasonable grounds to request them. This may include supporters who have a disability that makes the purchase or use of digital tickets challenging.’

The issue isn't just a disability one though, 28% of adults in Liverpool don't have access to the internet. Digital inequality is a big issue in this city and Everton in the community should know that and be protesting to the premier league against the shift to digital for non-disabled fans. I'm currently doing a thesis on digital inequality in this city, it's all talk and no trousers from these organisations to address this issue.

I raised this yesterday on Twitter in response to the Everton disabled association, no reply from them either.

The queuing for trains in rain will ve a disaster after all the years they had to plan it. Can only hope mersey rail put on more services to help with the queues but they haven't for games.at goodison even when limited services are running.

Is that the current design or the earlier 60k?

£20m spent by Liverpool City Council on highways infrastructure, and all they can boast about is a dedicated cycle lane.

Anyone on here planning to cycle to the match?

You can clearly see the booing section on this picture. To help you out, it’s any section with a silver roof.

Imagine the overhead shot like that when 'Farm' is emblazoned on the East Stand roof and 'Foods' is emblazoned on the West Stand roof.

Yeah, a lot hinges on this.

The parking situation is going to be a nightmare - your logical starting point before any conversation in it is that because the stadium is situated on the banks of the river, there is 50% less surrounding land to park on vs Goodison.

That's problematic in itself, then you add 30% to the existing capacity of Goodison and you've already got a significant problem

Goodison, being about as well-established as it gets, has had decades for parking to evolve into the situation we have now

So driving to the new stadium is going to be a real, real problem - and that's before you get into the conversation about the road network to actually reach the site

Having said that, this isn't unusual - there are lots and lots of stadiums in this country and around Europe where the situation is similar, however they pretty much all have the same thing in common - public transport is scaled up for match days. I was in Mainz last weekend and they're a great example of how this has been managed. I was in Schalke last year and ditto.

Sandhills station and whatever bus services are laid on will be the route that most people opt for - this will be ok if the situation is managed well. Lots of extra trains are going to be required, because the use of Sandhills will increase by a huge amount vs the traffic that it sees on Goodison and Anfield match days currently.

Essentially it's going to be a watching brief on this - my early thoughts are that I'm going to tweak my match day routine and hang around for a couple of pints after the game to let the worst of the queues at Sandhills die down - the cynic in me says that Everton aren't going to be devastated by that

Emblazoned on the stadium you said would never happen.
