New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

Can anyone that went confirm that the atmosphere was shocking. That is how it came across on the TV anyway.

On the tele, I heard lots of Wham singing and noise. Sad this.

It was quiet, particularly second half. But we are a very reactive fan base imo. The performance was pretty dire, so most just sit there and moan

Always needs a bad ref decision to get it going, it’s been like that for years. Terrible.

Spot on. It's more of an angry response. Not the singing ultra stuff other clubs do.

Back in Moyes' first spell the crowd would have responded to that West Ham equaliser tonight and pushed the team on for a winner. Sad what's happened in the last 10 years or so. Coincides with when we started to sell out every game.

 

[Big Sams Undies]

Made an absolute mess of the pre-match songs tonight.

PA too low, about a minutes worth of Grand Old Team/Spirit of the Blues then into some video and then messed the Z Cars timing up so the players were already on the pitch pretty much from the start of it.

1/10

The whole layout of this stadium looks designed to not build a fortress-like atmosphere. We dont really have a home end as far as I'm concerned.

It all looks too fragmented and sterile.

And I dont know what's happening with the acoustics for Everton supporters. Even a 2/3rds full away section tonight sounded 10x louder.

Something is just a bit off about the place and it's not just down to 'teething problems'.

Something structural.

Its cos the fans are weapons grade garbo and never sing.

Been telling people this for years, worst fanbase in the entire world.

Perfectly articulated.

Nah.

The stadium should never have been laid out like it has been.

The away fans should have been punted to the upper deck somewhere for a kick off. They make too much noise where they are and visibly they dominate the stadium.

A good fanbase would consider that a challenge, yet ours just moans.

Thought the atmosphere was good. The South stand was deafening at times. Starting to get more coordination with singing.

I still can't get my head around how applause sounds like you're at a conference though. I miss the rumbling sounds of people's feet at goodison

 

[T LEAFE]

Came across as usual: the away fans sound way way more louder than Everton fans - even in when they're in full voice.

I think this stadium has been built with the best interests of the opposition in mind!

Most away fans at any ground are all sitting together and will sing as they've made the journey rather than just sit in silence.
Maybe the seating allocation at BMD has dispersed those that sang at Goodison
Or maybe we just don't have much to sing about on the pitch

Absolute travesty how small the lower tier of the South Stand is. Been said before that so many people who never sat in the Street End will have put themselves in there as well without really wanting to contribute to the atmosphere.

The team are flacid and we have a manager who's clueless.

I think that's maybe the real issue here.

Even by Premier League standards the atmosphere was poor. We all know it was usually crap at Goodison but I think it might end up being worse at BMD. Don't know what can be done to change it.
