New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Rightly or wrongly, many have bemoaned the lack of Everton identity in and around the new stadium. Dixie Dean and the Holy Trinity are this club's immortals (there may be a few others who could merit a place, but they certainly do).... they don't just represent a single era, they represent our History and identity, and will be worthy of their place regardless of whatever the future brings. As regards duplication of statues, I don't see any problem. The art form lends itself to it, which is why many great statues have been reproduced multiple times for different locations. The thing is, how many clubs have 2 stadiums which merit it? The new ones could perhaps be of a different scale to befit the different setting. Failing that, commission entirely new ones. Of course the danger then, is that the new depictions might not match the quality or capture the essence of their subject(s), in the way those already created have (there have been some absolute howlers on that score). Hence the reason why a basic recast is the normal and safest approach, and indeed a further celebration of the sculptor's original work.

Copies of the exact same statues would seem like a bit of a half arsed way of doing it for the new stadium to be honest. If we're going to have statues (which i'm not hugely bothered about anyway) i'd rather see new pieces commissioned rather than just making a replica of something we've already got.

And there it is... digital season ticket via apple or Google wallet will allow access to stadium only. No screenshots of the ST.
NFC tech.

But you can apply for physical card via link in email

Also thinking about this and Google Wallets. Rather than buying a burner phone, you could get a cheap OS watch. It will sync your cards and anybody can wear it. I reckon it'll work if it has NFC. That way you get to keep your normal phone and not carry 2. I dont think you have to have your phone with you if you have your watch.

That's were I've gone for too. Always said that when I grew up I'd go sit on the sides.... I'm only 60, so this is the first phase of that. Sat behind the goal, same row as my season tkt for the first trial event. Moved over to my season tkt seats for the last 15 mins.... thought it was a much better view tbh.

Yeah I really like that perspective of the game. Big difference for us from the TB, and suppose everybody, is we'll be in the same bowl as everybody else now so be interesting to see how that affects the atmosphere.

Just got the ST through, entrance 8 under the west steps. Hopefully get to buy you a beer at some point!

Where is Entrance 11? South stand. Is it central?
 
Anyone have any idea where I can find the locations of the turnstiles? I’m entrance 2, all I can make out is that it’ll be 1 of 4 entrances on either the north east or northwest of the ground. The information they put out in January about each stand doesn’t have anything in the way of turnstile numbers on the maps.
