New Everton Stadium

My son is definitely going to continue with the season tickets next season. One big worry will be the alleged lack of car parking. It is likely to be so bad that our current school car park in Fountains Road anticipate continuing their £10 per game deal even though it is 1.4 miles from BMD. That counts me out even if I wanted to continue because I could not walk that far. Dropping off and picking up in congested roads will not be practical. Forget public transport.

Don’t mind me asking but what’s wrong with public transport .?
Merseyside has generally very good public transport and I would imagine that there will be soccer buses running from various hubs to get you at least within easy walking distance.

Out of towner question here
Any word on a ferry? Even just the short ride from town. Would love to bring my kid by boat up the mersey to a game.

Not as far as I know.
Ferries aren’t the same anymore
Up until about 20 years ago ( maybe longer) they used to be a
regular affordable way to ply across the Mersey to various destinations.
Nowadays they don’t operate as frequently and are priced more as an expensive tourist ride than a form of integrated transport.
I doubt the cost of running one every other week ( and presumably building a new landing stage ) is viable for the use . They compete with the trains really .
But who knows 🤷‍♂️

The majority of people don't reach well to change even it's for the benefit for everyone.

Absolutely baffles me in this day and age when you have google maps telling you step by step how to get somewhere and people are stressed over parking spaces.

Because its awkward for many, quite difficult for night games to get home after work and back out again & particularly expensive for families especially travelling beyond the merseyrail network.
 
People will appreciate the new stadium. Spurs’ stadium despite being meh on the outside is phenomenal on the inside. Times have changed and it’s so much better for food, drink, standing about and not being generally crammed back into the 1800s
 
Yes because parking around GP is relatively straightforward compared to the extent of the restrictions that will be in place around BMD. Some people have no option but to travel by car for a multitude of reasons.
I don’t use my car for GP, on the odd occasion I have I didn’t know where to park and once ended up with a ticket.
I don’t anticipate using my car for for BMD but If I did decide to I know all the car parks around the city centre area, which in my eyes makes it more accessible
