New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

There's a cup for the Seamus testimonial now, is there?

It’s been to long since the Sydney cup.

It’s been to long since the Sydney cup.

Was that after the Florida Cup?

I think we won that, didn't we? Juve on penos? John Stones?

Maybe.

There's the consideration the club have to bear in mind, I suppose, about what happened to other major clubs that moved ground. It required the 'Arsenalification' of the Emirates with all the trappings of old stadium like the Clock End clock etc making the journey.

However, that was a soulless bowl and generic in comparison with ours.

It's not Goodison and we dont want it to be. We've sung for years about the Royal Blue Mersey and this is what it's like in reality.

Sing with me:

There's going to be no anomie for the EFC!

My theory is 4 sided grounds win every time. Goodison was the first one in the world. Tiered stands help too, not bowls where the back row is quater of a mile from the pitch. Goodison wss the first 2 tier 4 sider and the first triiple decker.

Highbury was a proper 4-sided ground and they moved to Ashburton becuse it was the style at the time. They didnt need to. E.g. Palace stayed at Selhurst Park which isn't that different to Highbury, and they can still watch PL.footy and buy a pie for less than 10 quid.

Some clubs' matchdays died by moving to bowls (Arsenal, Reading, Bolton, Leicester, Southampton)

Other clubs like Brighton, Man City and Sunderland have moved from 4-siders to bowls and made it work. The difference, I think, is the people you fill it with. If your fans are all tourists or spending 30 mins on halftime you're never gonna get a song going.

Other clubs like Brentford, Coventry, Doncaster, Wimbledon, Juventus chose to build a new 4-siders becsuse they knew their atmosphere depends on it.

Arsenal fans like to sing Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal all game and then they wonder why the other team's fans diont give them any 'bantz'. And then they dare to comment on the atmosphere at away games. We csn igmore those football phrasebook tunnel dwellers.

Tottenham rebuilt their ground on the same spot and it's a fantastic stadium but 2 songs and some warbling noises aint gonna cut it for 90 minutes.

West Ham effed up big time. No question.

If people are singing loud and proud, and they have plenty of somgs, there'll be an atmospherr. Evertonians have got it all in spades. And weve got the 4-sider feel in BMD, it's best of both worlds.

Here's to Keane, Neville and Carragher shyting themselves pitchside when the noise hits them.

Think we won it again under the FSW mate - also on penos!

That wall needs to blend in
Not stand out

It'll have Champions League logo's on it in a year or 2

Why did we have to have a wall anyway? I just think it spoils what would have been a continuous bank of blue seats.

Not that I would know but I suspect it allowed the top half of the stand to be steeper.

That was a different US trip, there was some confusion how the winner of it would work out, and seemed like there was a rule chance when we did so well in it so we didn`t win it.

Agree with the sentiment but you're all over the place with your facts. Brentford and Wimbledon built whatever was cheapest. Arsenal was always quiet, Leicester and the others linked to other issues not the style of the bowl.
