New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[9LeagueTitles5FACups]

From wasteland to tourist attraction: Everton’s new home set to turbo-charge change

Hill Dickinson Stadium’s development has not always been smooth, and teething problems linger, but it can transform both club and community

www.theguardian.com

This article appears to be in response to The Observer's ignorant piece trying to link the stadium's construction to the loss of the city's UNESCO World Heritage status. Hunter makes an effort to acknowledge the draw which the stadium represents as opposed to the former dock. I was also pleased to learn that the club will be trying to sell tours on incoming cruise ships in the near future, which can only serve to drive up revenue from the new stadium.

It's Everton advertising on both boards.

Thought so.

Anyone know if you can swap tickets on the ticket portal resale thing? I'm in upper but want to sit lower?

The new Guardian article is far better than the hit piece from last week. This journo seems to be putting the boot into the other fella early on. Club have defo been on the blower to ask for a redaction or a more positive piece.

Sky Sports will be only too willing to share the Kopite's 'joke' with the rest of the world too.

Hopefully it's wrecked.

The Anfield Wrap.

Bunch of middle class mummy's boys.

Just needs someone to paint 'MURDERERS' on it and the whole thing will be whitewashed in no time.

I don't think I've seen anyone take a bag pack or laptop bag into a football stadium before? Seems a bit daft. They have metal detectors and bag searchers on the way in so you'd be better taking it home imo.

Thanks mate took it into goodison a few times before but they seem a lot more strict BMD. I'd usually leave it in the office but working away externally the next day so have to take it with me.

Good video but dont know why - if the idea for it is to help fans to understand, and therefore speed up - he didn't show where and how you scan for a receipt from the virtual shop.

The players ? I think it's the first 100 to attend get to meet the players

They'll have a plane in the sky too on Sunday. Watch how much coverage their media hands it as well.

All desperate stuff.

We build stadiums that last, they wreck them.

Basically the difference.

Bang on.

 

[If You Know Your History]

Can The Hill Dickinson be as hostile as GP was?

Yes. 100%.

The stands are steep and close to the pitch and there will be more of us shouting for the boys in blue.

 

[If You Know Your History]

10,000 extra fans will make it louder and more hostile than goodison for sure

We will make new memories at the new stadium

Said this once and i'll say it again, their fans are more obsessed with every other team than their own. They are the worst winners and the worst losers. Their first thought isn't about celebrating their own success, it's how they can taunt any other fanbase. It's no wonder they are the most despised team in world football.

Agree wholeheartedly with all of that apart from the last sentence. There's a reason they and Man U claim to have the biggest global fanbases (and wanted extra TV money from international deals as a result). Look at the recent racism row, since the guy was arrested their paid PR machine has been working overtime to bury the story - even fans who sit near the idiot say he's a loon. Within the EPL, a lot of "neutrals" see them as a quasi 2nd team (makes me sick), hoping that if they can't win it, then the RS do. Whereas the average neutral's view of us is the turd that won't flush. Hopefully the new ownership and new stadium marks the beginning of a turnaround for us - but it's a long road ahead.
