New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[arch stanton]

Reckon them massive concourses are gonna have a few free standing tables fixed in them?

hopefully a bit of seating for us old boys too

they could have a few ex players wandering around the concourses to encourage people to stay and spend.

Reidy stood by the stairs with his fedora on and a machine pistol strapped to his waist...

"Lad, get back the bar, you've only spent 20 quid. Tight arse"


Works for me.

I used to see John Parrot down at Goodison all the time but I'm not sure that would encourage me to buy another pint. I know that's a bit flippant but I don't know how many would hang around on the off chance of bumping into Graham Stuart or Ian Snodin.

 

[Captain Bligh]

Yeah, that's absolutely mad.

We had our last ever full-family trip to Goodison for the Roma game, and we were chased out when we were taking photos at - and I just checked - 7:01pm. From a 5pm kickoff, that can't have been more than 10 or 12 minutes after full-time.

and that was after they'd royally messed up the turnstiles. We got into our seats just before half time

 

[bigjonny]

No, but the stewards going along the rows clearing all the rubbish wouldn’t be too happy with post-match drinking, either.

It might just be a multi-layered concourse I guess.

Yes it is multi-layered , apologies if someone’s already answered.

 

[Vintage]

Probably my favourite view of inside the ground so far.
Think they should have put up bigger fencing along the Northern boundary

 

[allen]

Thanks! No, it hadn’t be answered, but I had realised on watching the video again that you can see an elevated area on the right at the start of the video - and I’d presumed that was where he was headed for a bit more space.

To assist fans who are yet to select their seats, later in the tenure hierarchy, it would be helpful if the club could periodically update the ‘Season Ticket 25/26’ website with a graphic showing where seats have already been taken. It would give fans a chance to think again and plan ahead if their first preference location is fully taken, or looks like being so, before the date on which they can choose.

The only other image I can remember the club publishing in the 90s was during the Johnson era, when they produced an architect's Pen and Ink drawing.... but that was for a stadium in or near Kirkby.

Thanks Tom, they're the plans I remember. I just remember a scan of a programme.

Really appreciate that. Thank you

That’s a very good suggestion - would be good to send this message to the club

where was that due to be built?

 

[BullensRoad]

where was that due to be built?

It was a plan to redevelop goodison mate.

90's. Before my time but I remember seeing scans of it online years ago.

It was the reason the park was built further back from the pitch iirc.

At least if he was at the ground he wouldn’t be with some supporters wife *

Is the season ticket release day as much fun as waiting for a home game ticket release too, like manure just now.
If so I might be taking half a day off work
