The mythology around our previous home

[Yarrgh]

How old are you !?!?!?

Imagine being alive in 1892 and not having to worry about those gobshites though... oh well, at least it meant that they left our club to go fester in their den of iniquity.

He’d blame the brand of tea bags there if he thought it would serve his underdog, woe are we agenda

90% of the time Goodison was like any other ground, the atmosphere was fairly average. It was only in Important and big games it became alive. The new ground will take time for people to move about and the sections have a core of the people who create the atmospheres. I can guarantee the first season at HD had a better atmosphere than the first years at Goodison.

You saying we didn't have Good Times?

When we moved to Goodison after being forced out of the Pit - Goodison back then was the best stadia in the divisions - it the team that play in it is the end product - fans liked to be entertained

One more home win and we’ve equalled our home wins for last season, despite all the pants pissing. It was always going to be the case that as soon as we lost a few home games people would start blaming the building itself. Atmoshere at Goodison has honked for years outside of relegation deciders.

How forensic do we need to be?

As a fan in the 80's and 90's many a game would have 20-25,000. Some lower. The infamous Coventry game was just 3 months before my first game in 84.

The atmosphere is affected by what's on the pitch. Recent years it's been on the pitch and yeah sometimes the atmosphere is akin to a library sometimes it's raucous. Same at BM. That's down to the fans. Open ye mouths! Create a cauldron.

Unfortunately at times what's on the pitch is

We don’t have a side or style of play that’s conducive to a good atmosphere or to get you out of your seat, not at Goodson or the new place now. Have to give the fans something to get going no matter where you play

We did ok at Goodison when we won trophies - all with former EFC players as Managers too....

 

[If You Know Your History]

There are some differences, for example when people applaud it's a more echoey sound at the new place and we've lost that rumbling sound of goodison with people feet on the wooden floors/the seats banging when people stand up

I don't have a season ticket but I've been to all home games this season apart from 3 so I've been pretty much everywhere in the ground

In terms of volume I would say the front of the south stand is much louder than the front of the street end. The upper West and East have more atmosphere than the top balcony and similar to upper bullens. First few rows of the East are way better than the equivalent in the paddock for atmosphere and view

Only the corners of the upper seem to feel a bit removed from the atmosphere in my experience

100% agree!
