← Hill Dickinson Stadium

What do you miss most about Goodison Park after months in the Hill Dickinson Stadium? 🥺

The new stadium has surpassed all expectations so far 🔥

neilpurcell35mo ago

Giving up my forever blue + as I can watch every game, home and away on the telly, in comfort and without all the hassle after the game.

brogan5mo ago

Seems like there was even more hassle with the trains last night. Do not envy the trip home after a late kick off

bernie.hawthorn5mo ago

Love the atmosphere once I get into ground. Love my seat etc. but cannot manage the “scrum” not only to get out but also to get in! Getting home for me via Sandhills station is a nightmare! Especially night matches and yesterday the trains were only every half hour ! (Not Everton’s fault) but I just can’t stand the crush and panic creeps in. 😭

barbaramurray19675mo ago

EA. Were getting rip off at this new stadium. And the tickets prices are disgusting. There priceing themselves out. And it's not the people club anymore.. and these new owners are ripping us off and butting more money into roma. Sorry let's get back to paper tickets. Sorry my opinion i prefer goodison park. Easy to get into the stadium and easily to get out

brogan5mo ago

Think they have to be careful. You do not want to flush out the proper fans and end up with a stadium full of day trippers just there to see the new stadium. The atmosphere would quickly turn

williamsdave9595mo ago

Digital ticketing is a rule introduced by the premier league and not the clubs was actually told this by Everton themselves

brogan5mo ago

Have to feel for the elderly people who have to go through the trouble of applying for printed tickets

carolsmith936mo ago

Ten minute walk from were we parked by the pub and benefitted from £3.50 pints ps the pub has shut down I feel like I’m getting ripped off now

dusters216mo ago

Digital tickets is a farce I transfered a ticket to my friend but he realised later he could not attend so he asked Everton to re sell it but they said because he had accepted it they could not sell it on , Digital is a mess.

brogan6mo ago

That is an absolute joke. Long live the days of paper tickets

jasred636mo ago

Parking , no 3pm Saturday games and not being able to give your ticket to friends or relatives.

brogan6mo ago

The lack of 3pm games has been a massive issue this season!

ronnienwilliams6mo ago

I miss the Goodson of 60 to 70 thousand on the terraces I don’t miss the Goodson of 39000 seats!

brogan6mo ago

Those would have been the days! 🤩

barbaramurray19676mo ago

Sorry i miss goodison park.

mark.marston6mo ago

Unfortunately GP just wasn't generating enough cash. HDS earns us around £40m in additional revenue every season. It's sad that success on the pitch is now largely based off the commercial success of the club

barbaramurray19676mo ago

Easy to get to easy to get out..availability to get tickets for home games. No walking miles to get into town. Easy to get to you coaches and taxi and walking home. And easy to get to your car by pireroad. To the car park.

brogan6mo ago

The transport is by far the biggest issue and that will not be an easy fix

bennett38377mo ago

Paying Cash. And reasonably prices

anthonymanley19567mo ago

Wining a game

parrjohn2497mo ago

Walking up Spellow Lane,turn into Goodison Road and then EVERTON hits you-the smell of hotdogs in last months grease and smell of hotdogs horse muck!!!! NSNO

dusters217mo ago

What does NSNO mean ?

nothingbutthebestltd7mo ago

The atmosphere, shaking, and not getting ripped off at the Winslow, etc, for a Guinness. Oh, and chips & curry from the Gwladys street chippy! The things you don't realise you have until it's gone.

williamsdave9597mo ago

Playing at 3pm on a Saturday forgotten what it's actually like ?

brogan7mo ago

To think Everton aren't even in Europe (which usually stops teams playing on Saturdays) and we've had just two 3pm kick offs at the new stadium. It's crazy

dusters217mo ago

I miss going through the turnstile in Bullns road , getting chips for £3 with gravy in Gladys street. Also the atmosphere of the old Lady & the fans . As for the food & drink at the Hill they can keep it I didn't get OLD just to give the Owners my Savings . As for these night games 1 after another it must be horrible for people who work.

brogan7mo ago

The days of cheap days out to the footy are longggg gone! I genuinely think football clubs are at risk of pricing people out with the cost of living. The night games have been an absolute joke. Transport may not be great but it's made 100X worse when you're trying to rush home for work/school

del_kath7mo ago

Well, the most glaring difference is access either by public transport or by private transport, the total lack of parking possibilities. Having attended a few games, there also seems to be a lack of atmosphere, despite having ostensibly larger attendance. That possibly stems from team selections, not inspiring and even later substitutions.

brogan7mo ago

I think it's a bit of everything atm regarding atmosphere. Fans can only give so much when the performances have been as dire as they have been.

barbaramurray19677mo ago

MASorry i miss goodison park compleaty. I stood on the gladyes street end when I was a child..and it's so hard to get tickets for this new stadium. But what enjoys me this that you see all these empty seats in the new stadium. And when you try to buy home tickets you can't.

cmdixon6mo ago

Why are there empty seats? Is it season ticket holders not attending but because they've bought a ticket the game is classed a sell out?

brogan7mo ago

So many memories that have been left behind. The club really need to look into the ticket issues before the new season!

kmm.mace7mo ago

EVERYTHING. I miss being able to drive, park & walk to Goodison. I miss sitting with the people I sat with in the upper bullens. I miss being able to add to the Goodison noise by stamping my feet on the wooden floor. I miss that the away fans had a small section of the ground & I couldn't hear them. I even miss the terrible ladies loos! So EVERYTHING!

brogan7mo ago

Could not put it better. There's so much magic lost in leaving old stadiums like GP but it all comes down to money. Look at some of the grounds the Premier League has lost like White Hart Lane because clubs are pushing for every penny they can get

kevinmrpeters8mo ago

Knowing that there is game going on whilst in the concourse! Have the sound proofed the concourse walls and ceiling?! And switch the annoying music off!

williamsdave9597mo ago

The big one for me is the goodish atmosphere no better stadium than goodison park when it was rocking

goodisonforever9mo ago

Sitting with guys Ive sat with for over 20 years , the tenure rules split everyone up to the extent ive not seen anyone since GP

brogan9mo ago

This is such a shame!

davidcharles18789mo ago

I miss going through the turnstiles with a season card , instead of a phone, I hate all this getting searched nonsense, also I hate the way the club fleeces us with the ale and food prices.

brogan9mo ago

Long gone are those days and paper tickets will now be an artefact
