It'd help also if that stadium was Evertonised rather than it being what it is: a tourist attraction and 'multi-use entertainment complex'.
The club are in the grip of organisations like OCS Management who run the stadium for them and who are determined to maximise commercial partner's rights at 'the facility' to the exclusion of Everton related identity.
I bet the 1878 lot have had to negotiate with OCS to get any banners vetted in terms of what's on them and how big they are, for example.
And forget about the stadium exterior and seating having Everton on them because that'd be shot down straight away.
People need to wake up to just what sort of vice like corporate grip this stadium is in.
It'll happen though. And when it does these corporate whores wont know WTF has hit them.
That’s happening Dave.
They’ve put images of former players and other EFC chants and players interviews on walls in the concourses and that now.
I agree that they can do much more, especially pitch facing with the seats etc, but it is definitely happening. I’ll get some pics and post them vs Notts Forest.
On the pitch performances will also affect our opinion, and I don’t think we have been good enough, but that can happen, it’s sport, we know we’re not like the rs who just can’t understand or get it when other teams are better and beat them.
Build and coach a team fitting and worthy of the epic new ground and our amazing supporters - that’s TFG and
Moyes job now.
The other factors like transport and chaos at the bars etc should have been non existent from the off - they’ve had years to get that right.
This yellow card swearing fiasco is just the cherry on the cake - it’s a farce, and if the club and the moaners don’t knock it off soon then many will just pack in going.
Maybe that’s the long term want/aim from the club and some fans, but I really hope not, as those old school fans who’ve been and stuck with Everton through thin and thinner are what makes us who we are - we will always need that kind of supporter in the ground in decent numbers, or we might as well be Bournemouth or Fulham et al.
