New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Buy a smart watch and put apple pay/Google Wallet on it.

You want me to spend more money I haven't got on things I don't want.

FWIW: my advice is - if you're having trouble loading up apps/have a phone without NFC etc - go to the ticket office at Goodison...obviously if you're local.

I wouldn't spend too much time emailing or phoning the club about it.

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.

They are but at the same time, Catterick had a hand in Everton's decline in an era where we could have been top dogs, and Kendall left us when we were on top.

where’s the drone guys, some of the HD branding must be up by now surely?

 

[Who's_up_for_cumpkins?]

Last I seen the letters for HD on west stand over entrance had been on the floor for days on end. And annoyingly for those with OCD they'de left a tiny little gap in the o in the dickison on the west stand roof.

I was at seacombe ferry terminal earlier and you could make out the HD lettering on the west stand

Does it not need to be connected to the phone to work?

Nope. It'll work offline.

Hahaha. No mate, its quite ridiculous that its got to this tbh, and I love tech, its literally my job. However, it should never be forced upon anybody. My Dad won't agree to a smart meter, despite lower rates to do so, cause he thinks they're spying on him with it. He hates all this digital ticketing stuff with a passion.

Whoever laid out the letters like that is a genius.
