I'll likely shed a quiet tear when Goodison is torn down, but there's a part of me that is really looking forward to rebuilding the club by the river. I watch a lot of vintage football - The Big Match Revisited, old Match of the Days, etc. - and what strikes me is that so many stadiums back then have either been closed or radically revamped over the intervening years, while Goodison looks...pretty much the same now as it was then, with relatively minor modifications.

Sure, the Park End is "new" - and St. Lukes has been obscured - but other than new scoreboards, our ground has basically decayed. Anfield looks like a different ugly sister to the original, but it does look different. Stamford Bridge bears no relation to what it looked like then. Highbury, Maine Road, Upton Park, and White Hart Lane are long gone. Villa Park looks substantially different. St. James' Park is like a new stadium compared to then. Only Old Trafford looks similarly familiar. And, given the state of disrepair there, that's not a good comparison.

Our stadium - arguably the best of the lot in the 1980s - is now, unquestionably, the shabbiest of all the big clubs. It is a perfect mirror image of our decline as a club.

Roll on the dock!
 

Don't forget for anybody under 40 there have genuinely been no good memories (in terms of success) at Goodison apart from sporadic victories over Liverpool which meant absolutely nothing in the grand scheme of things.

Thousands of restricted views, no leg room, cramped consession areas with crap food and drinks, in a terrible area.

Can't wait to see the club move away from Goodison.
I'm old enough to remember your success under Howard Kendall in the mid 80s and I think you'd have been more successful if your neighbours hadn't been drunk and disorderly in Heysel.
