New Everton Stadium

Google suggests it is 34 minutes. I don't know anyone who could walk it in 15 minutes.

Maybe they have inhalers.

Like I said, it just depends how fast you walk! If it takes you 40 minutes it takes you 40 minutes, how long it takes me is neither here nor there is it?

True. I think the lesson of it all is that if people are planning to walk from the city centre, or anywhere else for that matter, I think they need to do a test run or 2 this summer. That said, generally speaking I think people believe the new place to be a shorter walk from town than it is.

It’s neither here nor there, quite right.

Also, if someone was to upload their walk to YouTube, there’s nowt to stop a viewer changing the playback settings to 2x speed, for example, which would give a false and overly optimistic indicator of pace.

And woe betide / God forbid anyone who sets the playback speed to a measly 0.25x speed - that viewing experience would be extremely tedious and offer absolutely zero value to the viewer.

They could film their analogue watch as they walked and show it was set to Earth minutes, not Vulcan ones, though.

We could all run there
Have a sort of Park run event each game

A quick Google will confirm on average a human being walks at 3 miles an hour. 1 mile in 20 minutes for the majority of people. If you can walk 1.5 miles in 15 minutes you walk at 6 miles an hour, which is twice the average speed. That's some going.

I'll do a sponsored walk first game of the season...if I don't it walk in 15 minutes from the Thistle hotel,I'll buy 5 jigsaws and make a 50 quid donation to a charity of your choice.

Thanks for all the responses, quite detailed…
Another question: what will it be like for mere mortals and wasters like yours truly to get tickets next season via ‘general sale’…

Meis has been a poor choice for a designer. There's no question about that.

What about an Iron Man event. Cycle from Lime Street to the Albert Dock, swim the Mersey and then a run to the Stadium.

20mins?

And whoever survives that and manages to stomach watching Everton afterwards wins the gold. True grit.

Imagine the person recording forgot they were recording, and just started dawdling on the way, and loitering around bins, having nonsensical conversations with tramps and generally taking their time, stopping in at Greggs for a cheese slice, stopping frequently to scratch their crotch etc. But still uploaded their video to YouTube.

Then throw in the issue of someone setting the playback speed to 0.25x, their entire viewing would be a long, drawn out, bizarre and frankly surreal experience.

Just get off at whatever station is best for you, couple of pints and the walk will be fine. Easy.
