Getting to Bramley Moore

[Dutch Toffee]

It's a special place isn't it @tommye

Me and the missus stayed at the Titanic, took two minutes to get to ground, about 30 minutes to get back, we coped

What time did you start in Wetherspoons today then fella?

There is always a way to cope.

This is for those who do not get it about the new ground and those who try to be clever here in this thread. Enjoy and learn. To paraphrase the Greek stoic Epictetus "It's not what you face, but how you react to it that matters".​

PS. and do be positive... especially when it come to Everton ​

I’m a fairly fit 66 year old and in good weather, it was a comfortable walk from town, not sure how that will feel when the rain and the wind are lashing me, also the stupid bridge weight restriction, with the stop/go lollipops - I am sure will be badly received by a big portion of 50k people in bad weather.

I’m sure we’ll work out better routes and get our collective acts together, but the distance to walk may prove to be a way of culling older or less fit people from the Season Ticket list. My dear old dad will never walk that distance, let’s hope systems for disabled are addressed.

Notwithstanding, it was fabulous. What a stadium, when the sirens and Z Cars beat out, hairs stood up on the back of my neck. While I am able, this is going to be fantastic.

It's jaw droppingly magnificent. Genuinely takes your breath away.
Will be the envy of football when they pack 50k+ snarling, screaming, raucous blues in there and annoy them, the noise just hangs there.
The place is gonna bounce like we all hope it will.

Goodison Park has been a part of my life since I was a toddler, I drive past it pretty much every day and leaving is gonna break all our hearts but we've got ourselves an absolute monster of a replacement.

Dan Meis has played an absolute blinder.

There's a cartoon I'm thinking of, and all the characters are fighting, then a mummy duck and her ducklings want to cross the road or something so everyone stops and they cross, then the fighting starts again.
That bridge bottleneck I can see being a face off point. Unless they're going to put machine gun batteries in select areas, then trouble will find a way.

I am really fed up of this "debate" about getting to the new ground. Many here need to stop, back off, chill out , or just fcuk off. As an Evertonian for all my life, more than 50 years, look, we went, got in, etc. Sometimes, when I was too young to pub hop, for a rest or to escape rain, I walked for miles. I fully understand that we are in "modern times", but distance, parking, hotdogs, nearest ale, etc etc... JUST GO THE GAME. I await the abuse. Ta lads...

Ok boomer.

I agree Buddy, Everton and Liverpool City Council should be applauded for getting all Everton fans exercising and getting fit again.
