New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Simo]

Chuck in a visit to the club shop, cos kids n shizz, a couple of those fancy blue doughnuts and some proper food and drinks and you're spaffing best part of £500 to go the match.

Can think of loads of things I'd much rather spend half a grand on.

Add to that, if you're not local, and we keep getting s0dding 2pm Sunday or midweek games, the cost of hotel etc on top.

Im booking hotel rooms in advance even before the ballot, on a cancellation rate.

I made the point about our ground being unique in its silence and I think you can see it at Bournemouth tonight. Probably the least atmospheric ground in the league but still noise constantly happening.

Bournemouth fans have had way more to cheer about than Everton fans for a good five years now...

Sad but true.

I don't think you understand my point, or maybe you're choosing to ignore it to make your own point. What I'm saying is that the club is choosing to maximise its profits now but that that strategy may have the effect of diminishing the fanbase in the future which, in turn, will hurt the club in many ways in the future including economically. My central point, I suppose, is that we are seeing Everton Football Club ceasing to be a club rooted in it's community and becoming a service provider like a concert venue or a cruise ship. I personally think it's a shame that working class families will rarely, if ever, get the chance to go to the game together. I understand that this has been the direction of travel for some time but it doesn't mean I have to like it. As for your first point, nobody is forcing me to take my family to a game for £400+ (for the four of us), that is true, and I won't pay it. It's a shame my boys will miss out on a treasured part of my childhood.

Will agree with a lot of your points. But main point being prices will only get higher, especially if we want to compete with the big boys. The clubs playing the fans to see how much they can muster but the irony is - A lot of fans will pay anything for tickets and extortionate drink/ food prices and if some leave, others will step in. The whole Premier Lge picture is only going to keep rolling upwards.

Notice someone in the crowd has a drum that does actually makes a difference.

In that case why do Leeds have their stadium bouncing compared to ours?

The older fans will pay almost anything. Younger ones can't, even if they wanted to. Rent, groceries, car insurance etc, etc are through the roof, they just don't have the cash. That's what I'm worried about.

As for the PL only rolling upwards, I'm not so sure. The European super league will be back on the horizon very soon, I would imagine.

There was a massive queue when we passed at about 7:10 on Monday, so I reckon pretty close to kick-off.

Match intro still needs a little work (stadium) but I'm glad they're showing more of this ground level stuff I bitched about not seeing enough of.

I suppose outside of the derby and United home games every league game is just bog standard when you`re never in the running to win a title or grab a CL place. It doesn`t help that some of the performances tend to be poor even when we get a result. This season we started with Brighton probably thinking they should have taken something out of the game having had some great chances. Then Mansfield proved hard to break down, followed it up by firing blanks against Villa, and then a very poor display against Wham. Roll on Palace on Sunday, with them playing on Thursday they may be a bit short of energy coming to BMD. We certainly used having extra UEFA Cup games on a Thursday as a reason we would play so poorly the following weekend when we were in Europe,

Hopefully. We might get away with a 1-3. Not too much damage to our GD.

kid hasn't got an account / e-mail. He is 4. Why can't they just make it easy and let us manage it for them.

Lightweight. Tell him to man up.
