Poll on the new stadium

[johnjoeefc]

As someone who has not been to the new stadium yet I would be really intrigued to get an idea of how good it is from fellow fans with all factors considered.

10 is the best of the best, cannot be improved and is just an absolute phenomenon.

0 is absolute garbage.

What are we saying?

….what does ‘all factors considered’ mean, @johnjoeefc? Is it factors outside the BMD gates, like transport, safety etc?

Give it an 9 for now but could easily go up to 10 when everything is finished and we are settled in the new ground

 

[James Patrick]

I'll reserve judgement until I see it full every home game after the novelty effect wears off.

Solely on the stadium, the stands, the location, the plaza etc which aren’t fully finished, it’s already a 9.

It’s magnificent now, a world class arena.

Just needs the finishing touches adding inside and out to make it our proper home and hopefully they review food & drink prices, which seem a little steep for what you are getting. It’s then 10++++ and will be easily one of the very best in the world.

The first proper match with a full house in full voice is going to be mind blowing and electric.

Not commenting here on the shitshow of transport and parking, that’s not on the club.

8 for the time being, lots still needs to be sorted internally which I am sure will happen. The bogs at Malaga (2nd tier Spanish football) are (or were) better; in some at our gaff there are only about 8 stalls. better shelving for people's ale as others have mentioned, lots of little things to sort out but it's new and will be a work in process. Then I'd be happy to up to 9. When they open up the western terrace overlooking the Mersey and it's a nice sunny day (once a season) it'll be brilliant!! I suppose the prawn sandwich lads will think it's 10 already! Like many I'll miss Goodison, but the fun of trying to avoid the dog [Poor language removed] along City Road will be a distant memory!

Hard to tell without a full meaningful match on.

From what I have seen though the outside looks boss. Inside is impressive but also a little bland so far, that will probably all fall into place once some final touches are put in place though. I suppose all grounds like pretty much the same inside on telly.

Lots of positives, including design and location. To be a 9/10 imho it would need to have a retractable roof, removable pitch, about ten thousand more seats and for GA areas fitted out to a better standard.

That wasn't in the design brief or what we could afford. Meis always said it would be more basic and compact than some of our contemporaries.

I'd give it an 8, would've liked it to have been closer to 60/65k seats and there are still some finishing touches left to do before its fully completed. It'll be interesting to see how to atmosphere is next season, hopefully we don't have the issues West Ham (too far from pitch)and Spurs (too many tourists) have had.

It certainly looks really good and the only thing that at the moment could be a fault is the problems folks have had with transport links. I`m happy with the capacity and how it looks inside and out, but maybe it could have some Everton signs up to make it feel more our home.

Aren’t the bells and whistles being added in the next few months ? I hope so because as you said, it’s a tad underbranded .

 

[Bluebonic]

I gave it a nine, it gets a ten when they turn on the wi-fi etc. for those who haven’t been, absolutely everyone I saw coming through the dock wall gates stopped, open-mouthed and just smiled like a bunch of gormless loons Thats the effect it had on everyone. It is boss, forget the transport issues, they will get sorted and crowding etc. will settle once people get into their new match-day routine. The look, the feel, the accoustic are all spot on, the sirens and Z-cars are deafening and when 53,000 roar out the team on the first proper home game everyone there will know that this is an exceptional football stadium.

 

[Daytripper]

8 imo

 

[superkeeper]

9 here. I, like many others, was constantly looking up, down and around the ground and saying ‘wow’. The plaza and the Everton Way are truly magnificent outside the ground and inside going up the steps and seeing the pitch and the stands appear right in front of my eyes, it was like being a kid going to his first ever game in his life all over again. It still not yet the finished article and I can’t wait to see what it’s like once it’s fully up and running
