New Everton Stadium

[Togger Blue]

What on Gods Earth is that at the top ?

Looks like something out “The Thing”

It's davek, waiting for the Everton & District Pipe Band!

How are you feeling about the new stadium my son? I bet you're buzzing like a spinsters hand luggage.

God bless.

Now these serial failures have definitely got this up and running I am excited about it. Anyone who ever thought that this was a foregone conclusion even within the last year had rocks in their head.

So you've moved on from your complaint that the Orange Order walked up it to it now not meeting your steepness requirements?

What's with the past tense, too? It's still there, and it's still a hill. Get down there with your inclinometer.

...but it's not got the steepness that poor old @Eggs thought it had that made him feel we should call the south stand 'The Brow'.


FFS 'the Brow'. If it had that rake to it it'd have to extend down to Stanley Dock.

It did make me chortle like, so hats off to him.

….if you walk to work up the Everton Brow steps, you’ll have thighs like Gerd Muller:

….ha, ha, I have no idea of the rake but it’s steep & it’s a symbolic link to aspects of our past.

What end are you in lad? I'm in the Brow End lad'.

Lordy!

Anyone have any idea how the new stadium steepness of stands and close proximity to the pitch compares with juventus stadium...

I would prefer the Bramley Moore end but I don’t suppose they’ll call the stadium and one end the same thing.

Not happening.

Comparable. This 33 degree rake - IIRC that's what the Everton Stadium would be.

New Everton Stadium

1) is the seat ok 2) can I see all of the play without posts in front of me 3) can I see the play if others stand up (I’m thinking the back of the lower Bullens here) 4) will there be enough beer and food outlets 5) will I be kept dry in the rain 6) will the toilets be better than at GP 7) will...

I'm standing there with some bags of pepper to throw at the Netherfield Road Navy.

I`ve used those steps numerous times for hill training, as do many people and I can confirm, that even though they fail to meet @davek stringent steepness requirements, that, to us mortals, they are indeed very steep.

That'd be the closest you'd been to Goodison in a couple of decades, wouldn't it Dave?

 

[COYBL25]

He's just bitching at you because you poke fun at him. No doubt he'll have something else to make an issue of before the day is out.

So far the list of complaints includes :

Exploding helicopters.
Stray wind turbine blades.
The boundary wall being listed, too high and unsightly.
The new brickwork pattern, not being to his liking.

Moving on to this mornings complaints :

We`ve now got the Lodge marching up Everton Brow and thereby soiling the hallowed ground of Everton Brow, but this is balanced out by the fact that it`s not steep enough.

Can someone ring for the Doctor please.

He also objected to us playing Dynamo Kyiv to raise money for Ukrainian refugees because of neo-nazis, or something. He's grasping to stay relevant as GoTs resident polemicist. Jimmy (@ForeverBlue92) has usurped him as forum mad man and he's not taking it lying down.

lol I`ve missed the one about playing a charity match, to raise money for neo - nazi refugees.

This truly is next level stuff.
