New Everton Stadium

[Dr Baxter]

Do we know if the bars on the concourse at the new stadium will be open during the match (are they allowed to be?). Just thinking, those who leave early can at least go downstairs for a pint on the way out.

Will be a laughing stock in the championship at this rate unless dyche gets bloody sacked.

One last pint before you load up the pack donkeys and begin the arduous trek home...

No, they can't be open until 30 minutes after kickoff, which has been the rule for a long time.

As will be the same until after the final whistle.

I don't disagree with much of that, I regularly have to fly home for matches and often see a few blues en route, but according to the club, there is supposed to be a massive surplus of demand. A total of 63k+ wanting season tickets alone. Presumably with many more again, wanting to attend less frequently too. I'm not sure that Thursdays are much worse than any other midweek game tbh, so it's difficult to equate all of that with a sub-capacity attendance, for what could be our last ever cup game, for much reduced prices..... (if that happens)..... even more so when we'll soon have over 35% more home seats to fill, at higher prices. Or are you just saying that FA Cup games have lost all of their attraction? Could be the biggest factor.....

Tom, is that your multi account?

You won't find a bigger advocate of the new stadium than me. It's virtually perfect, in my eyes.

Apart from the transport links, how to get there, the opening times, the sight lines, the pricing, the worry about Liverpool doing a trophy parade past it, finding your seat and the lack of additional stations.

Apart from that you've been a proper advocate.

It’s going to take quite a while for peoples matchday routines to settle, from the transport options to choosing where to eat & drink either in or outside the stadium. Then even getting used to the people standing/sitting near you. It’ll all be different and everyone just needs to be patient and embrace the change.

But that doesn’t excuse the likes of Stagecoach who used to run a relatively reliable bus service from Goodison back to the City Centre but in the last year or so it’s gone to pot a bit. Poor queuing organisation and not enough buses for the demand. If they think that will be acceptable for the new stadium they’ll need a rethink.

Those that are used to parking for free only 5-10 minutes walk from Goodison will be in for a bit of a shock/upset when they find everything within a 30min radius is permit zones. So lots of usual habits will have to change. If you’re a resident in that area you could be quids in on a matchday selling off private spaces & visitor permits!

A brisk walk from Dale Street (ship & mitre end) to Bramley Moore is around 30 minutes (Google maps always say a bit longer). Ideally need some new bars around half way to break up the journey!

Nothing will be more difficult.

Bit rubbish that. Be arsed waiting 30 minutes to grab a bevy

The new stadium isn't going to turn us into 1970s Brazil

If it turns us into something other than 2020-2024 Everton I’ll be happy.

If it turns us into 2024 Villa or Forest I’d be more than happy thanks. Evertonians are realistic, they just don’t want to be an utter joke anymore, and that’s the least they deserve

I don’t want to be mean or presumptuous, but are you an older person? For me, Goodison park is a cursed hell hole and I can’t wait to see the back of the place. I hope the demon that so obviously resides there stays when we leave and the curse on this team is lifted once and for all.

Must have been amazing back then. But to most it's now it's a relic which needs knocking down.

The facilities and food are disgusting. We deserve better which we finally have.
