Everton secure new hospitality partner for Hill Dickinson Stadium

I was going to lead with ’Fans craving the authentic armchair experience’… but Anjishnu beat me to it and his professional journalistic tendencies ruled that out.

I like it… but then I'm a dedicated unabashed armchair fan — but I will need a spot for my prawn sarnies.

I hope they put the VAR nonsense on the monitors, but then they don't do that on the big screens, do they? It may happen with hopefully more 'transparency' moving forward.

The refs at the Club World Cup seem to be giving it a lot more verbals to the crowd about such VAR decisions... wait and see if this percolates into PGMOL.

How many are going to go along to a Stadium, that is still difficult to get to, via Public or private transport, after the event? Again, as with most things, no mention of proposed cost, should anyone wish to experience the event.

The same with the Forever Blue Membership scheme, they have conveniently, eventually released the cost, which is almost double that of the previous Official Membership — with no concessions for those over 65?

Sorry, I don't follow your point about going "after" the game.
These are seats to watch the game live, mate.

Everton finally sorting out our marketing and corporate side to generate revenue. This will only apply to those who want and can afford it.

They should still hopefully accommodate the traditional matchday supporter.

I personally wouldn't choose it. I belong in the stands.

I could stay home and do that, but I was thinking when I rock up in November next year it may be a seating option, but not if I have to buy a whole enclosure.

You would want to for 7K, but wouldnt these seats cause murder ?

He was snow white! A gentle giant.

Think I'll be happily sticking with the pre-match pub and then the East Stand.

Did make me laugh that. What's the world coming to!

Although, I suppose there have been many a time at Goodison I wished I'd stayed at home.

All the plastic kopites will try to grab them with fans craving the authentic armchair experience and watching the screen.

This is surely taking the piss, Everton.

It's why having an independent fan group rather than an elected Fan Advisory Board makes a lot of sense to me, but I suppose it's not going to be that important until we become successful once again.

My want is mainly a decent and decently priced beer and as for curated food and drink — leave it to the pretentious 1% of the blues fans whoever they are. There is no pleasure greater than inverted snobbery.

I guess the days of grass roots football and the game for the common man are gone.

Dixie would be turning over in his grave to see this modern "everyone" wants-to-be-a-millionaire game of football with land previously used for community leagues now being used for high priced housing developments.

It doesn't make sense that large parts of the stands have wedges cut out of them so that people can look through plexiglass and look at the Mersey. Same ludicrous idea that a false canal has been dug in at the back of the stadium that faces the… Mersey.

A hotel or training facilities could have been built on the wasted space at BMD. Yes, the BMD will make money, but, with a bit more thought on the (making more money) side,
millions more could have been made.

Too much thought was put on the heritage, dock walls, tram lines, "We have to remember our history" side crap, than making as much cash as possible for Everton Football Club.

Commencing countdown… put your helmet on.😁

If suggested prices are correct even a few clubbing together would make it beyond most of us, and more expensive than watching from the stands. I'm afraid the green eyed monster is here to stay, and making the life blood of the game (fans) pay!

Not something I could afford, or want, to be honest.

It's Soccer, Jim… but not as we knew it.

Looks like we are getting earners with all this hyped-up shite but we need players to make a team. The players we have left won't be getting the well-to-dos excited in their comfy seats.

Come on, Davey, stop dithering and give Kinnear a shake-up to see what loose change he has.

So, Everton FC are clearly targeting not only the average fan, who goes to watch the game but also well-heeled folk and corporates, who are rolling in it. Good business all around.

If I do manage to get over to UK again, I'll be happy to get a seat anywhere in the new Hill Dickinson Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock; if it can be close-'ish' to the halfway-line, I'd be ecstatic.

Although I have considered the $5,000 F1 tickets before now.

It's not something I'd imagine Evertonians would want as part of going to watch Everton.
