New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Anyone go to the Bramley Moore for a pint after?

Yes, I would say so. It's split into two tiers (standing lower, seated above) by the dividing wall and with different concourses, yet when sat there it felt as one.

It looks more like one singular stand as well from the photos, and much more entwined than say the Lower and Upper Gwladys. But essentially, they're separated.

The problem is that the Upper will rarely stand up.

Plus the ones who you want to create the noise are better at doing so at the back not the front. They will also be closer to the roof there.

They have standing and sitting the wrong way around.

Have to say I disagree it was Everton’s night and should of only been us in there, so many of us missed out on the tickets

But that falls again on who got chance to have the tickets in the first place, and them giving it up randomly. If he gave Mr Drone just 1 ticket then he wouldn't be able to give the rest to his mates.

People need to hold the council and Steve Rotherham to account over the transport stuff

This stadium is amazing. I think it’s the best I’ve been to - and that’s some going vs the Emirates

But we’ll be hosting Euro 2028 games and probably a Europa league final in the next few years. We’ll not get anymore of those if the transport side of things remains the way it is now.

I honestly don't get the whole furore. Was the person who stole a RS who got a ticket from Mr Drone, or are people putting 1 + 1 together and getting seven?

So many blues have taken enjoyment out of watching these videos over the past few years. If the club choose to reward them with a free ticket, so be it.

Every ST holder will have a chance to visit before the season starts.

I guess, if his video is accurate, he genuinely received an email at extremely short notice and was already in the area as he was making some videos for his channel. He was never going to turn the tickets down, and given he's likely struck up a decent bond with the fellow drone fellas thought it's best to give them first dibs as they were also there instead of the tickets not being used. I can't really put any blame on him for that - I guess the only other thing he could have done is accept one for himself and offer the other three to random Blues that were also at the ground but didn't have tickets, but there was no obligation on him to do so (might have made for great content for his channel, however).

Yeah agreed, as I said my issues go to the person who gave up the tickets, not that Mr Drone accepted them. Which of course you would do. Most of the people around had tickets and if it appeared he was touting them outside, perhaps that could have landed him in hot water. It makes sense to give it to his friend group at that point.

Mate, I thought the very same thing. Currently, where I stand in the Lower, you do have the seat in front (at approximately high shin/knee) height to protect you.

The drop from row to row is significant, so I wouldn't want to go tumbling. I suspect they'll have planned for everyone to stand in the lower, and sat in the upper.

But I don't think that'll ultimately be the case in all areas. I stand now, and I've only gone in the upper because my son is too young, even though he stands now.

It may be different when everyone eventually sits in their own seat for a proper game.

Another reason why the rail seats should be at the back

I wouldn't be surprised if they get the stewards and tannoys to discourage any attempts at standing in the Upper tier. It'll be standing at big moments only then back to sitting.

No KC and Craig did not steal the food. They are okay people for reds. I don't begrudge them getting in, they have put out content for us. This was a little payback for that to help boost their channels.

I suppose it's possible the mystery Season Ticket holder who gave the tickets away could have been a proxy for the club..

Magnificent arena,only worry is the logistics getting to and from,I guess we can leave that in the capable hands of kopite Steve on the council eh?

 

[Connor mcloud]

Can anyone tell us if you have to prepay for the food and drink in the stadium

 

[PhilM]

For all I love our new stadium, this has got me emotional about leaving.

Only Everton by the way can have a test event and the club shop not be open and operational. A massive opportunity for ten thousand people to purchase goods. Even one off goods. If 2k bought £50’s worth of gear then that’s 100k. Just stupid at times.

but then all the stock in the shop is lying around for months til its open proper

 

[Bedfordblue]

Think the lack of urinals can be easily compensated in the upper south, they should just install a massive one along the window over Nelson Dock.
Could even be another Everton first, longest urinal in world football.

I tried to join my mate in there before the game but there was a giant queue to get in. There are several old pubs along the dock road that have closed down, could really do with some heroes to reopen them.
