New Everton Stadium

[TommyDavo]

The Tai Pan is in the stadium doorstep pre or post match. On another note did anyone try the Fish an chip stall in the Plaza before the game, price/ quality ?

Didn’t try it but seemed to be very popular, £15

I must say, that's a terrible look for a new stadium: a table at the entrance for confiscated food.

How 'kin petty can you get? The thieving gets.

I cant see that lasting for long.

This whole 'checking for and confiscating food stuff' thing seems quite arbitrary. We were not checked and neither did I see anybody else getting checked when we went in.
Possibly some over zealous members of staff

I know there are also going to be a few independent street food venders close by when the season arrives .

I think going forward we’ll see that as the norm rather than the exception but how it’s actually enforced who knows .

The stewards are being put in danger by the club with this petty policy. They cant police that issue in safety.

The test event atmosphere is all good will and wonderment atm. When that novelty wears off - and fans are trying to cut down on the amount of cash they're being charged to go the game, all expenses included - the resentment will spill over.

The club either ask the vendors inside the stadium to lower their prices (not likely), or they allow people to bring a reasonable amount of their own soft drinks / foodstuff in.

Yeah, stopping people bringing in a packet of peanuts or sweets or a can of Coke is ridiculous, petty, and corrosive nonsense.

I mean, they only sell bloody Pepsi inside...

The actual chip shop that the van is from serves the best fish and chips I've ever eaten.

Top notch, had many fish and chips and Ice creams from Nicholls when over in Parkgate.

Got no idea how you can be so sure Andy, it will be marginal. It might be fine, it might be fine some of the time, it might be blocked all the time. The only way to find out is to sit there and see with your own eyes.

Of course if that bloke standing there is 6'7" then that changes it a bit as that line would start lower down, but that's why I'm NOT saying it will definitely be blocked. We wait to see.

I've also maintained all long I don't see this as a restricted view even if the corner flag is not seen. It's a miniscule part of the pitch.

If some fans tie flags and banners to the rails above that wall then that could also interfere with how others watch the game / see the pitch (a/ the banners content would be eye-catching in itself and deflect attention to them; b/ if they're not secured they can billow about and spoil a view).

...and fans will look to fill those corners with blue, just as elsewhere in other new stadiums they deal with the bareness of those corners by filling it with their team colours.

We’ll request to be away that weekend. It’s how it works. Otherwise it’s too quick of a turnaround time and no guarantee we could play Sunday/Monday.

The rugby in Rome a few weeks ago was played the day before Roma played at home on the Sunday, so its able to be done at short notice.

You're in there for 2 hours, maybe a little bit longer. I reckon people could just about scrape through to get to the final whistle without food.

If you cant afford it, don't buy it. They'll soon review their price point if their sales reduce by a percentage over the year.

By the sound of it, the Club View patrons won't get much for their £10 allowance. But that was probably the plan - give them a tenner credit and they'll end up spending another tenner.

I rarely buy any food or drink at Goodison and, at the prices quoted so far, I imagine I'll be buying even less inside the new ground. I'll pick something up in town and eat/drink it on the long march to Bramley Moore Dock.

They love a few £9 hotdogs.
