Club invites fans to help shape matchday experience at Bramley-Moore Dock

Can we have a pillory with an effigy of Bill Kenwright (or better still, the real thing) so that fans can express their thanks to him personally for the 'good times' we've all enjoyed under his peerless reign as Chairman?

Have modern hospitality on the concourses. Bars, food outlets even restaurants like at the new Tottenham stadium.

Likewise in the planned Fan Plaza.

Basically, encourage supporters to spend their time and money at the club and generate additional revenue for the club. But give them the facilities to do so.

Please take the Goodison Supper Bar with us. I can't imagine watching Everton without chips, peas and onion gravy.

When I next go to Goodison, they get 㿝 off me for the ticket. Unless that lady in the Upper Bullens finally decides to serve me, that's it.

The rest of my match going money is spent outside of Goodison and Everton.

Obviously, "naming rights" has been a topic related to the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock with USM having for a time first option.

Man City are going to rename their stadium temporarily to the "Manchester Stadium" and Dublin are dropping Aviva. But this could be an issue for us if the bid and our desire to find a sponsor instead of USM comes to fruition.

They go to "the ground" purely to watch the match. The two things, although closely linked to each other, are IMHO discrete. People "generally" don't go to the ground to drink.

Now whether the provision of pubs and bars etc within the stadium and/or the grounds of the stadium will change behaviour which has been ingrained for many years remains to be seen.

I still think you'll get the pains in the arse unseating complete rows after kick-off because they have to get that last bevvie down them even if the bar is within the concourse.

I'm with you on one count as I'm a traditionalist. But if we want to compete financially, we need to make the most out of the new stadium from a commercial perspective.

It pains me to say as I love my traditions but that is what has held us back in my opinion.

We have heritage in Bramley-Moore Dock. But capitalise and move forward on the opportunity it will gift us with.

My brother-in-law who goes to the game with me timed the walk from James Street Station to BMD at 20 minutes last week and I think that'll open up the city centre as a pre-match drinking venue.

On a different note, I watched Mr Drone's time-lapse video on YouTube this morning and the progress in such a short space of time is mind-blowing.

An Everton video "Just In Time" on YouTube is well worth a watch too.

I just wish I could visit and have a walk round there now.

How about just getting on and building it, and shoving the nonsense surveys in the bin somewhere?

Meanwhile, Frank's issued a rallying call to the whole club under the headline 'We need help'. Putting yourself before the club again, eh, Frank. That's why you'll never make it as a top coach.

A good team would be nice of but I'm trying to be realistic.

They built around three sides of the ground an all-seater stand with concourses underneath. He took me once and you could get quite decent food, swilled down with a couple of pints of hand-pulled bitter, whilst watching the lunchtime match on large TVs.

At the end of the first year of the new stand, their income per spectator had increased from ٟ.50 a head to 㾸.00.
There's definitely money to be made, if they get it right!

What is hand-pulled bitter? Does it taste different to using a pump?

Do they charge more for it?

The match-day experience is taken care of by the game and if we win or not. Five course meals, a giant mural of blue boy Bill and a holographic statue of Moshiri won't add to the entertainment value of the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
