I have watched Everton since 1953 I still go to the new stadium and live 140miles away when I hear all the grumbling it is wrong we should be grateful for such a great stadium although I loved Goodison this is far better let's just get behind the blues and be thankful 😀

These new owners have never been to a home game yet. And goodison park was easy to get to by car coaches taxi buses and easy to park your car. And easy for disabled people.

Good. Don't care as long as they fund the team. He's probably busy and doesn't even like football
robi166d ago
Think that's just TFGs style. They tend to stay out of the way but I am surprised they haven't attended a single game yet.
Tickets should be £45 a game 4 adults 20 4 kids I bought a £60 4 ever blue + membership an get nothing for it an i can't even use the app my address an phone number still not updated 😭
glynowen71117d ago
I saw Barcelona with Johann cruyff play for well under a pound. Now I pay £6 to watch park football
Rear bullens atrocious view like looking through a letterbox. Defo needed the move view fantastic at the HD
robi166d ago
HDS has had some teething problems, mainly around transport, but there's no denying it's been a massive upgrade on GP (as much as I loved the old place)

Has the Hill Dickinson Stadium brought new problems for Everton fans? 😬
Season ticket prices are expected to rise for next season 💰
glynowen71117d ago
One complaint in 26 thousand, really. Male football clubs of that standard can only dream of playing in a stadium like that. Getting bored with this now it's not your gender but your level that dictates pay and stadia available. So the youth teams should be paid the same as women going by their logic. Games gone mad😁
bgraneek120d ago
Sky or tnt sceduling so many monday night games shows just where their priorities lie and its not with paying supporters. They would be happy for stadiums to be empty and just use canned cheering as long as their product is ok.
richiekodak79127d ago
What has done my head in is to many Monday night games , been told it could increase through lack of games, we might have had. I miss the Monday games I work. Moneys talks or at least TV money does. If this carries on I will give up my season ticket.

Which do you prefer? 😬

The Grand old lady Goodison Park is EVERTON FC i wer goin since aged 12 I'm 59 now

Lack of 3o'clock games on a Saturday is a disgrace and i believe affecting the atmosphere. Fans struggling to get to night games and rushing to get home.
goldenholden213d ago
Agreed but nothing to do with the club

It isnt the stadium. We just cant score goals.

Well another defeat at home. When is this team going to get going at this stadium 🏟️ it’s getting serious now. I know we will be safe but can you see us improving next season at home 😔
summersp1968212d ago
Yes
kevink40222d ago
Whether we are playing at HD or at Goodison. We just cant score goals. If we improve our strike rate, everything improves. We need a striker, or tactics to score from other players

Sorry let's get back to goodison park. It was a lot easier to get into goodison park by a wheelchair. That's my opinion.
nothingbutthebestltd224d ago
Only one way to go, and that's forward.
brogan225d ago
If only! Has it been really difficult for you at the new ground?

I don't remember queuing at Goodison for the loo but h/dick very poor Not no where near big enough & paper towels empty need electric drying after all it's a football ground not Mark's & Spencer.
kmm.mace211d ago
Ohh maybe if your a guy you didn't Q for the loo. Definitely not the case for us female fans. Always a Q & getting into the toilet cubicle was like the Krypton Factor! Ladies loos at Hill Dixie are much improved 👍
goldenholden213d ago
Towels don't run out in upper south stand. Please not electric dryers, much slower!
julielawrence744226d ago
Are you sure that you went to the loo at Goodison?? The queues were horrendous!!!! I think the loos at Hill Dickinson, are well spacious, AND no queueing!!

Not with Barry or beto. Because to be honest there are bloody awful.
seanbennett498215d ago
We need to sign a big name young Proven striker. I would love Dusan Vlahovic on a free transfer only 25 is good in the air & with feet
Capacity definitely doesn’t need increasing, there always plenty of empty seats when we play at home, I quite often move around.
ronnienwilliams223d ago
There are empty seats because of the policy to force people to pay for membership and not put tickets on general sale

I miss the grand old lady so much, why can’t we do a swap with the women’s team 😞
brogan233d ago
Money talks. I think most fans of clubs who've moved into new stadiums are regretting it

What is going so wrong at the Hill Dickinson Stadium for Everton? 😳
It is now less than one win in every three following the loss against Bournemouth... 😤
anthonymanley1956219d ago
Needs to start playing players in there right poistion garner at right back total waste garner is the only midfielder who can see a forward pass theres players there to cover poistions so use them
rod.52222d ago
No real atmosphere, not helped by our tactics. Need to change that quickly with only 5 home games left. This team needs to start thinking for themselves and play a more aggressive attacking style.
cmalone851222d ago
A blind man can see, we need a decent centre forward. Nothing to do what stadium a game is played at.

ANOTHER fixture change is potentially in store for Everton... 😭
How do you feel about all of these night time games at the Hill Dickinson Stadium? 🫣
williamsdave959228d ago
Needs to stop nightmare getting home after the games especially 8 o clock kick offs TV own the premier league

Best stadium in the country 😍 💙
rod.52228d ago
It probably is the best, but not for crowd noise it isn’t. There is no heart to the chats and singing, it’s halfhearted at best. It’s up to us to get this average team playing better by getting behind them, even if they are struggling. Stop the grips and make some noise 👍

What is to blame for the hundreds of unsold tickets on Everton's exchange? 😫
Something needs to change!
rod.52228d ago
Let me buy a season ticket then. I will be there every game come rain or shine. I have been to the games, not all of them, because of one thing or another. I have supported the club since 1954, I’m 74 this September and I want to carry on watching my beloved Everton until I leave this world.

What do you miss most about Goodison Park after months in the Hill Dickinson Stadium? 🥺
The new stadium has surpassed all expectations so far 🔥
neilpurcell3153d 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.
bernie.hawthorn168d 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. 😭
barbaramurray1967169d 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

How is this even allowed to happen? 😡
Fans will be set for more frustration with two more late kick-offs added!
ptrckbennett291d ago
Every week it is becoming clearer and clearer that for some unknown reason the PL have an issue with our beloved club and I think it's about time that this is looked at more closely by an independent party and get to the bottom of it once and for all!

Has this £30m upgrade actually made a difference on match days? 📞
Let us know what your experience has been like...
goldenholden213d ago
On the toilets issue at Goodison I could leave my seat on the HT whistle, get to the loo, get a cuppa and get back before the restart or not much after. At HDS I was missing at least 2 mins of action but I am on the next to back row of the upper south stand, 84 steps down and back up, I'm over 70. But they've made some changes and easily back last 2 games
goldenholden213d ago
The wifi works remarkably well at HDS. Not the most important thing but a huge improvement on that score from Goodison
robi.buckley291d ago
The upgrade makes very little difference to me. I go to HDS to watch the game, not sit on my phone browsing the internet 🤷♂️

What is the loudest you've EVER heard Everton fans at home? 🔊
You can pick between both Goodison Park and the Hill Dickinson!
robi.buckley290d ago
Too many occasions to choose one! But Hill Dickinson is already the loudest Premier League stadium ever recorded at 126 dB so there is that 😛

It needs a propper railway structure it's a disaster waiting to happen
brogan292d ago
Gonna be years away from anything like that annoyingly
Make the north stand bigger get more fans in . The interest is clearly there.
neilpurcell3234d ago
How come it was half empty against Bournemouth.
brogan292d ago
How many more seats do you reckon could be filled?

What event would you like to see held at the Hill Dickinson Stadium next? 🎸
Can you imagine how good a concert would be there!

Must be a sign they've done something right if ear plugs are required 🤣
brogan296d ago
Can’t ask for anything more then - love it! What’s impressed you most?
Should have gone to 60 thousand from the off .
davibush297d ago
Not really . 50,000 is🤣 optimum size for any stadium . Good views for everyone. The extra ,10,000 seats are worse views and cost the most to install.
brogan297d ago
Deffo! Imagine what it'd be like to get a ticket if we were to qualify for Europe 🫣

At least it’s not soulless - better than the Olympic Stadium.

It's to small. The capacity will need increasing at a more substantial cost than it would have been during the initial build

If you could change one thing about the Hill Dickinson, what would it be? 🤔
fitzsimmonslee7184d ago
Tram line from the railway station simple right to the ground makes sense
barbaramurray1967226d ago
Sorry if you got an disabilities and in a wheelchair it's impossible to get into the ground. The experience is awful for these people who have disabilities.
kevink40228d ago
Transport, isnt really something the club can fix. We can, however change our performances on the pitch. Personally,I dont think the ball rolls well on thr HD turf. I am sure the surface at Finch Farm isnt the same. Surely, we should be training on the same surface. Tactically we need to be agressive at home, we need teams to hatr playing there.

Was supposed to be going me first game their against Sunderland in Jan and now ive gtb in work 😮💨
brogan298d ago
Plenty more opportunities mate! Did you get to experience Goodison before the move?
I just hope that the everton lady's carries on playing at goodison..
brogan298d ago
Brilliant idea by the club! Have you been able to attend a game?
The Premier League,is the best in the world,& a modern stadium,is going to be a basic requirement to attract the best
brogan298d ago
Absolutely! Only really Spurs offering what Everton can now. We’re nailing down the spot as top ground in the north now
I havent been to the Hill Dickinson stadia yet... Been past it many times though through the week... What a stadium, would like to go at least to 1 game... Not been for 23 years ..last time when i was 40 to Goodison... How much is the tour around it, may i ask.Thanks
brogan298d ago
£26 for an Adult, Kev. Be good to see the heart of the beast and all the behind the scenes features
If you think getting away from the stadium is difficult, you try getting a cup of coffee on the concourse at half time, it’s a nightmare.
colinjoyce3234d ago
Can't you manage to go a couple of hours without a cup of coffee?

Catching the train at Sandhills were all herded into pens like sheep, then crammed on the train, didn’t have these issues at bank hall Kirkdale etc ,

People vaping in the stadium should be stopped. Its against the ticket rules and it stinks.
