…..my first visit today, I wanted it to be a league game and my son downloaded his Club View ST onto Mrs Eggs mobile and it worked a treat.
I was on my lonesome, got there early to take a few pics of my ‘Everton Way brick’, sitting neatly between Sheedy and Bracewell. I’m in such wonderful company.
Getting in was easy but it’s a hike up those stairs. Like Sherpa Tensing, I passed an old bloke who was younger than me who stopped for a rest half-way up. My son recommended the pie, so I got a chicken pie and coffee but it was wasteful because I’d had a hearty full English before I left home. Anyway, the couple of bites of pie was ok, the half cup of coffee similar.
I took my seat, more stairs to row 57, calfs like Grealish when I finally sat down but it’s a proper footy stadium. Really noisy when it’s noisy, quiet when it’s quiet.
I actually think that ground will get better with age. It’ll form its identity over time. Things will be added, bits taken away, stairs and rails softened with traffic. It’s great, it’ll be greater.
