First memories of Goodieson was TV coverage of that football tournament held in England in 1966. The low wall around the pitch and I think it was a Hungarian (could it have been Bulgarian) player shoulder charged (down right assaulted) over the wall and a fair drop on to the concrete terrace behind the goals. He was clearly injured but carried on playing as no subs were allowed those days.

I thought that revenue from ticket sales didn’t really matter much to teams in the greatest league in the world?
Are Everton really going to attract massive gates, outside fixtures v Liverpool?

I'm happy we play where we do, but still regret that we had to get rid of the slope.Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

I really like the look of it.
Not that it will ever happen, but if we were to ever leave Easter Road for whatever reason I would love to see us do something like this down in Leith Docks.Last edited by Lendo; 23-02-2021 at 09:53 PM.

Very good crowds for a few decades to watch a team that has been miles behind the top teams in the country.

Been to Goodison a few times, it's got a really good atmosphere, but it is also a bit of a dump, for an EPL stadium even Easter Road beats it by some way.
The good news for Everton fans is that at least the new stadium will be in Liverpool, rather than outside the city limits, which is what the proposed Kirkby move would have given them. Anyway, where better for a Scouse football team than right on the banks of the Mersey

Easter Road is our home and i would hate us to ever consider selling our soul. When a club leaves its spiritual home the spirit dies within the relocation

It's totally hideous.
Whoever gave that design the go-ahead needs their head examined.

Cracking old school stadium but with that comes the lack of 21st facilities and the previous poster was right about the legroom and toilets. The only positive from the latter was that the smell from the bogs was masked by the smell of the weed which seemed to hang over the stadium like a cloud. A new stadium was inevitable given the new money invested in the club and financially it makes total sense but I'm sure a lot of Evertonians will be sad to leave Goodison.

Yes they dont have the global reach and appeal of say Liverpool or Man Utd ect but they still are a massive club in the north west of England, I go down to Chester and north Wales quite often and the numbers that follow the Toffees is remarkable really.
They would comfortably fill 52,000 for most if not all Premiership games and I fully get why most Everton fans feel that 60,000 should be the preferred capacity.
What I would say that the stadium will look amazing just like Spurs but it will have a breathtaking and iconic setting in the World Heritage Site waterfront. This will instantly mark it out in world football.
It's going to be interesting for all football fans if the plan around safe standing that the board has comes to fruition. The initial build would be 52,000 seats but it will be designed in a way so that should the law permit, then it could be reconfigured to include a vast terrace area which would raise capacity to 60,000, a bit like what happens at Dortmunds ground when they covert it from a Champions League venue to a Bundesliga ground of 80,000.

Everything looks temporary and the poles are ridiculous - not quite sure what they were thinking.

I’d have gone too but maybe not as often. I think we would have lost a lot of supporters.
Easter Road is a glorious stadium and the walk up to it on match day is all part of the magic.

It's just a personal opinion but, when the discussions about redeveloping Easter Road were ongoing, I wouldn't have been completely against moving away from Easter Road, if the circumstances were right (location, stadium, transport links, etc).
However, Straiton definitely wasn't the right location.

How would you feel if we changed the name of the stadium? If it was to increase revenue.

The "7 Up Easter Road" is far more appealing than the "BP Arena".Mature, sensible signature required for responsible position. Good prospects for the right candidate. Apply within.

Can’t think of any of those criteria or circumstances that would have made any move a good idea.
Location, stadium and transport links were all tick tick tick I think even then.
