there'll be plenty on the pitch to make up for it!
Fair enough....but I feel like everyone has a different idea of what they'd like from Hospitality.
Me personally I'd be made up with this offering,you'd like to think the clubs Hospitality team will be making sure in regards to wherever you are in the Hospo suits everything ultimately is Everton centric.

The assertion was that HOK would put their name to it even if it wasn't achievable on that site. That's nonsense. HOK certainly wouldn't have staked their reputation on it if it wasn't possible, as they would be easily called out. As I said, even the club's architects didn't dispute this.... hence the club resorting to saying that 55k was too small, while still pushing for Kirkby.
Logistically it is much closer to the city centre, particularly Lime St and Queen Sqr, all its transport hubs and services, with more major roads on all sides, offering alternative routes and shortening any shuttle distances.
These hospitality offerings seem pretty well thought-out to me, to be honest.
But equally I wouldn't get too hung up on any of it if it's not to your taste.
It'll be relatively easy to modify the offering between seasons, as the club will certainly do as they get a better understanding of what the fans / corporate guests want.
The important thing is that - at last - we can offer impressive facilities like these for the fanswe can fleece who can afford it.

The club may well tailor the offering seasonally...just like a lot of restaurants do these days.
Yeah, I don't mean just the menu, though - I mean it would be trivial for Everton to rip out an entire restaurant and replace it in a few weeks in the off season.
No doubt they'll be looking to cater for a wide range.
When you say you'd be "made up with this offering" - I'm genuinely curious as to what exactly would you be made up with?
It's difficult to say what the offering is - there's no package/cost detail, but I suspect you're looking at... what? based on Goodison lounges - £600 per seat, per game in these sections?
I get it.
We want to really promote and buzz about everything and anything with the stadium.
It's the only positive thing we seem to have at the moment.
And it is going to be incredible.
I've worked with The Jockey Club, Arena operators, bar operators on corporate refurbs and I can't help but say that this... this is uninspiring - it's hardly "“a revolutionary re-set of traditional football hospitality”
I preferred the refurb in 2019 and that was a short term refurb with plenty of strings attached.

That would be the home dressing room considering how often the performances stink the place out

I don't think our shade of blue is good for bar or lounge interiors and seating. I just don't get the thinking behind this kind of corporate livery in those settings. The posher lounges benefit from some variety in the finish. Leave the Royal Blue in the stands and show some imagination in the hospitality areas.
How times have changed lol
Obviously price point is always keys but in terms of aesthetic and the potential food offering its all stuff I'd look for when i going out for dinner and that coupled with watching Everton is right up my street....your right though everything become relevant when you find out actual price.
Indeed, and the price is going to be significantly more than any restaurant in town - understandably so, because of the experience. It's top flight (hopefully!) football. In my view, that should always be central, with a nod to Everton/Evertonia no matter how subtle everywhere. Spurs had the likes of the Tunnel Club which was genuinely “a revolutionary re-set of traditional football hospitality”
On the plus side, it is only one component of what will be to come.
I like the idea, just find the renders to be really meh.
I suspect they'd be able to sell every lounge 5x over for the first few years too no matter the branding or offering too.
Have reserved tables with access to a cash bar with simple food for a reasonable price and I won't moan even if it's red

Yep I think this is just 1 option with basically 4 experiences within that option.
I like it, I like the design, the setting, what is being offered.
I think they'll definitely be something for everyone mate

Welcome back Wayne
It was of course possible to do, with the ground being elevated above the island, but tbh the plot we now have is much better and will serve the fans well. Our new outside areas will be fabulous, large and inviting. In a straight choice between Goodison, Kirkby, the Loop and BMD, BMD would win hands down with any vote imo………
