The mad thing is that during Covid, half of our team used the away changies. I bet they had to draw out of a hat.
I'm sure the guide said it was right under the concourse, and there was barely any sound insulation... must be properly miserable before the game and at half time.

Unfortunately, it can't make up for a poo team, otherwise our home record would be amazing.

They should've built a replica of the goodison away changing room and brought all of the fixtures and fittings over at the end of the season. Would be funny to see the away team reaction when they walk in and it's like we didn't move.
Also, the corner of that wall needs repainting/a protector on it.
Hasn’t put off most teams coming onto the pitch and beating us though. So what’s the point? I get it’s for some type of advantage, but at Goodison that dressing room is only uncomfortable after the game with its 3 showers, no ice bath and 1 toilet. Before the game all they have to do is get a kit on and listen to some instructions.
Yeah, I mean it boils down to marginal gains.
Everything in modern, top-level sport is about getting the smallest advantages you can wherever you can.

Got anything for the lower John?
How does that work in terms of payment, if we were both doing the pay over a year thing?

And using the away dressing room with all its lack of comfort, they still walked out of Goodison twice with the PL trophy. Maybe our lot have been too comfortable in the home dressing room.

Now that, I'm not sure of.
How good a mate is he? Maybe do it once, for both tickets and set up a standing order. Will save you £55 fee then as it'll be one transaction.

Ive been in it, its horrendous for a PL club.
There is one bath on the right as you go in and the bath is one you get from B&Q and about 6/7 showers against the back wall.
Honestly ive been in amateur changies that are on par with it.
It's not specifically an Everton thing.
At practically every ground the away changing rooms are deliberately uninviting.

Mmm. Tricky. No worries, thanks for the info Jacko.
