New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Parked at Prince's dock, took 15 mins to speedy walk, jog, pay and get up to the 6th floor. As I got out things were looking ok but traffic soon built up from all sides, if i was 5/10 mins later it could have been total gridlock. Where I was it was harder than Goodison.

I was supposed to park at Walter Street had I got to Liverpool when I should have (before 9am), due to a junction closure on the M6 I was delayed by over 2 and a half hours, so pointless even trying to get that close. If I had of parked there though I reckon it would have been easier than Goodison, would have been on Scotland road within 10 mins of leaving the ground.

Drove from Lincolnshire and weighed up lots of different options to get to the ground but decided on the day to do what I did when I went to Goodison. Parked on Walton Hall Avenue and then went for a pint in the Taxi Drivers Club. After that headed towards Goodison, the difference here was that I was on the matchday bus that I'd got on to outside the TD club. A bit surreal really: the blues are at home, it's matchday, yet after a few seconds GP has been and gone on the journey. Was dropped off on Great Howard Street, really close to the ground, the journey was £2 and totally hassle-free, same on the way back after the game.
There was just my car and one other on Walton Hall Avenue when I got back to it, then had a very leisurely drive out of town compared to how it was post-match at Goodison.
Does anyone know if the additional buses were just put on for the test event or will it be a regular thing?

Did you have to book the bus in advance? Did you get it outside the Taxi Club?

You'll be at the mercy of availability to move your seat to elsewhere?



Bingo - though the club are claiming they'll ensure only Club View people can access it. But will they? On what planet are stewards going to be checking thousands of people.

I think because that wont happen, then the single allocated bar for that area isn't sufficient.

I mean, it's one bar for 2161 people - you allow even more to that and it means absolute chaos with queues, like yesterday;

Will they ever?

Presumably they’ve planned for +2000 wanting to spend the £10 credit each game and at the moment (early days admittedly) I can’t see how that’ll work with yesterday’s setup. Maybe the self pour will be a game changer?

The seats are great (worth a premium) but if you can’t spend the credit, I’d rather have it in my pocket. Set an oxygen tent up at the top of the stairs (self service obviously) and I reckon it’ll be a winner.

I’m hopeful they’ve got a plan for the concourse access, because checking 2000 people at half time doesn’t sound like a runner.

Re: the ‘clueless’ stewards doesn’t surprise me, I go to the Comic Cons run by Monopoly Events at the Exhibition Centre and, other than Monopoly’s own staff, a lot of them are external hires by ACC who either get overwhelmed so get confused or are there for a quick payday so aren’t particularly fussed which I suspect is what happened at the stadium yesterday

ACC Liverpool has always been a mess. The he hierarchy their have never had a clue. Class themselves as public sector but are horrific.
