Goodison Facelift

Has anyone watched the clip on the official everton site of ferguson's winner vs the s***e in 94? Commentator starts by describing the stadium, "all seater now and one of the plushest and most luxurious in the country". How times have changed!
 

Recently visited Goodison Park with the school I work in, I can confirm that toilets have been re supplied with loo roll.

The chairs in the MS are still wooden.

Lots of scaffolding on Gladie but could not tell what it was for.

Got to sit in Executive Boxes and for the money they cost I can see why we struggle on the hospitality side, more room in the one toilet we have for the whole of the MS - okay if you have the money though?

All in all, the same old (and getting older) GP.

Maybe we are not really doing any work as all funds are going to the ring fenced for the new stadium?
 
The other half was telling me about a nice project at the Za Lužánkami stadium in Brno. To put it mildly, it was in a bit of a state of disrepair.

Anyway, an old player in the city wanted to give the old girl a decent send-off so recruited thousands of fans to tidy her up and play one last game before it was knocked down. In a couple of weeks they turned it from the above into the below

All via a voluntary effort from the fans. Reckon if we all turned up with a paintbrush we could spruce up the Old Lady

After a bit of pestering, this story was picked up by the Guardian today :)

Given this is Everton fc were talking about, what are the odds of Everton painting the ground using the john stones money in 2016 ? Followed by the utter fume when tins of John-Stones paint appear around the ground at the time of the painting lol
 

The ground is old and in serious need of redevelopment, but it's not ugly. It's the surrounding area that's appalling.

Goodison Rd is a disgrace and apart from the ground nothing has changed in the last 60 years that I know of.
 
I read the accounts that the club are spending around £1 million pa just on simple ground maintenance
At some point very soon it's not going to be about needing a lick of paint it's going to be areas of the ground being condemned.
