2nd test Everton Under-21s V Bolton Wanderers B

[NathDogg]

Few from today, just an awesome ground, an awesome space, feels like it’s been there forever and it’s all ours.

Also beyond proud to be right under super Kev’s nose and on Alan Balls chest on the fan wall, brought a tear to my eye finding my pics. Beautiful.

Dan meis has done an incredible job on our new home.

Even the seats at the back feel close and the view of the pitch is spectacular from every seat I parked myself in.

It’s also gonna be very very loud, when we’re all at it.

Only issue is the transport links, the council and Rotherham are a disgrace and need to pull their fingers out - we tried the bus from town, scrapping that now and gonna walk in, faster and easier.

The test events are for the club to the safety certifications for the stadium, nothing else

I've no doubt it does.
But if the fans can't get to the stadium stress free,it must be flagged up.
Everyone pushing and shoving outside to get in to see the kick off?

Very sensible post this. If Goodison was our new stadium and everyone had just rocked up for the 1st or 2nd time it would be chaos too. People adjust as they get to know the pinch points and when best to turn up and naturally it will become easier because of that.

Nah, people will definitely be drowned in the mersey due to overcrowding.

I've done that walk a few times, from the Luas on Abbey street to Croke park, it's not too bad but not great if the weather isn't playing ball, people wont appreciate walking half an hour in lashing rain.

If you can't handle that Everton probably isn't the club for you.

 

[Kevsleftpeg]

Who Everton employ?

Correct. But what's your point?

I cant remember what was in the plans for away fans for dispersal post match. Walking them back to Lime Street looks like a ridiculous proposition.

Away fan coaches are going to be parked up in the Bankhall street area apparently,
So they'd be marched down from the North side of the stadium i imagine

On BBC local news there interviewing people at the stadium - loads not happy. Surprise surprise.

We parked on Walter st carpark ( next to Titanic hotel) got there 12pm drove straight in off Great Howard st and then straight out at the end, no delays at all, down to Leeds street and home to Huyton in 20/25 minutes.
Added a change to the pricing board though,
" Event parking " which cost us £15 today
There was 5 of us so £3 each

Did you have an erection?

Did you have an erection?

Why are you determined to minimise a looming crisis here?

Do you think it serves anyone well?

Cars, thousands of them, need to be allowed to park around the stadium. And a system will have to be concocted to avoid the worst of the gridlock.

That's the result /conclusion of the two test events. The absence of adequate public transport makes that inevitable. I think we've all seen enough to know that's the only way forward until the local state get their thumbs out of their arses to fix the mess they should never have allowed to agree to in the first place.

All the congestion and bottle neck issues will be sorted when supporters fall into their own routines and use their common sense.
