Fox in the North Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Glad to see a lot of the recent expansions and new stadiums have more individuality about them. Gives me a lot of hope for our eventual expansion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think every football fan will always lament teams leaving old grounds for brand spanking new ones to some extent, especially when they move as well. Having said that, half the away end was dog-shit for watching the game For starters, it's not really in Everton (not that Goodison was anyway). It's still not ideal by train, but visitors will be able to get to it via train without leaving any stations with only a 10 minute walk at the end if they get on the local rail network at Lime Street. It benefits the rest of Liverpool area more so than visitors though really. Much better to get to from the city centre though, there are loads of good boozers within a half an hour walk, and long term there is a lot of planned investment on the docks between the stadium and the city centre. And beyond the stadium to the North too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlennyFox55 Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 I’ve always found the atmosphere at Goodison quite disappointing considering it’s such a great traditional old ground. Really hope we get to see official plans on our expansion soon. Will be nice to have something more unique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stripeyfox Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Will be a shame to see another one of the "old" grounds go, but I do like the design and location of the new Everton stadium. Looks fantastic Is good to see clubs being more adventurous with stadium designs - we definately don't need any more identikit bowls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl the Llama Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Honestly think it looks fantastic if the final build is anywhere close to the mockups. The setting alone will make it fairly iconic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BKLFox Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Another example of the ridiculous sums of money in football. Everton's new ground is estimated to cost £500m, Spurs was what £1bn & to think our stadium cost £30-40m & nearly folded us as a club at the time. Even in todays rates that £40m is still only 58m, i bet the planned extension of 10k seats will cost more than that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbertway Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 Very good listen if you've got 20 minutes to spare. Can totally empathise with a lot of it, especially being annoyed at media and outsiders who have no real clue what's going on but tell the fans that they're wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really much going for it in terms of modern stadia aside from the money we've spent on it since (in terms of lighting and big screens etc). Personally wouldn't be against the building of a new stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spurs might top that but obviously we haven't had chance to go yet. Old Trafford and Anfield are among my favourites too, those two always seem weird when I go in terms of feeling much different to other grounds.

Finnegan Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 (edited) I know it's popular to pretend Goodison is a good ground because it's "traditional" and shit but it's a ****ing dump, it's a generic boring square, why is that magically better than a generic boring bowl just because it's older? It's also inexplicably still made of wood everywhere - how that's even still a thing after Valley Parade idk. It's crap.

Corky Posted 23 February 2021 Share Posted 23 February 2021 I think we get a bit too hung up on tradition and nostalgia, some of these grounds are iconic but they could also be holding the club back. Everton will be getting a minimum 18k more fans in with the potential to expand, it seems like they are looking after the local area too, if possible I'd hope that the cafes, takeaways near Goodison could set up home on matchdays close to the new ground as a gesture. I think they'll make a good go of moving and will go all in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
