Stadium Tour - Goodison Park

[ToffeeScot]

Most, if not all have now sold out to the end of the season. As this is a bit of a different season, has anyone seen if they're going to add more dates during the summer at all?

It could be an idea to double up and have a Goodison and BMD stadium experience where folks can get a look behind the scenes before Goodison closes its doors and then get brought down to have a tour of the new ground. Have a shuttle bus for folks to get from Goodison to BMD and then for the full experience on the way to town they can stand at Sandhills for an hour or more in the hope that a train arrives to get back to town.

Everton?
If they're as clueless as normal, probably no.

….i took my 3yo grandson a few weeks ago so he can always say he went to Goodison.

I think the problem with adding more tours could be that the stadium is no longer being operative. Apparently some internal infrastructure is being moved to BMD so Goodison might be out of commission and unsafe for public to walk around.

Puzzled why they haven't put on things such as 'Legends' games during international breaks or while we were out of the cup

With the amount of tickets not going to actual fans you would of thought it would of made sense to at least try and get one special 'Goodbye to Goodison' game in there

give Roysten Drenthe one last run out

On a serious note, I'm pretty sure the likes of Ferguson, Jagielka, Distin, Osman, Kilbane, Michael Ball, Joseph Yobo,Thomas Mhyre etc would of jumped at the chance of a kick around on Goodison one last time.
Even could of done something along the lines of (if Sheff Utd didn't mind) giving Tyrese Campbell a minute or 2, as respect for his dad

So many missed opportunities and time running out fast to squeeze anything else in. Useless tossers.

Agreed mate. Luckily I'm off there in an hour for the tour , been looking forward to it for ages .

We are then popping down to BMD for a peek before a couple of pints to say ta ra to the Old Lady.

Booked a tour as I was seeing the same thing. No guarantees they have more and people may be taking seats and the pitch and whatever else they can have for a keepsake. If people want to go don't wait.

I'll be in town in July I've given up on getting a tour, I'll drop by both stadiums, for a goodbye and a hello.

I went on the tour this morning

Does each person going need their own customer number? Or can I book online and just buy for 4 adults

We don't really have the type of fanbase that goes in for that sort of thing as a general rule, and the lack of genuine 'legends' in recent years make it quite difficult. It was hard enough to justify paying £20 to go and watch Kevin Kilbane when he was an actual footballer, i'd have to have a very good reason to pay it to watch him at 50.

Is right, was wondering what they'd done with the bird skeleton

Sold out every home game this season, including the poxy cup games
Sold out Roma in a pre season friendly also

We had 10k & 25k turning up to under 18 & under 21 games at the new stadium

Guarantee they put a 'Goodbye Goodison - Legends Game' on, you get at least 30k, even if the majority are just fare weather fans taking there kids just so they can say they have been.

It would also open up another avenue for further revenue in the future for games during international breaks at the new stadium

Not done the tour since about 1997. Hadn't even thought about doing this but it's a good idea.
