The players walking past you whilst you're having your tea looks stupid to me.

Man City already have that, I think Spurs were going to do similar.

I think they've missed a big opportunity there, given the location.

I think there should be an extra tier on the land-side of the stadium for an extra 10,000 home fans to have a good sea view.

I suppose it is what is now called progress but it is the loss of yet another traditional football ground.

Impressive video, but how are 58,000 people going to arrive and leave from one side ?

Or is there a tunnel under the Mersey ?

There's the local 'Alpe D-Duez' hillclimb classic east of Burnley, Mytholme Steeps to Blackshaw Head and they say the easy parts are the 1 in 3 bits before you get above the tree-line.

I think what Burnley 1989 is trying to say, is that he's still got hair and playing with his dad's fluorescent toy cars, like Hawky the Humber and Little Minx and Singy Vogue and hopefully he's still got the green specs that come with them so that you can see them in 3D.

They’ve little option. Goodison is in a terrible state now and needs major work but it’s hardly possible because of where it is situated. Traditional it might be, and I love it despite its state, but they can’t progress at all playing there.

You’ll be able to get a water taxi from ground to ground if so minded when we play them. Jump on a canal boat at the culvert and it can take you all the way to the proposed new ground. Might take a few days!

Surely the better option would be to ground share with Liverpool for 2 seasons and redevelop Goodison...

They can’t redevelop Goodison. That’s why they are moving.

Certainly for an early season match. Nice weather, a stop at every pub and a nice relaxing trip. Parking may be an issue though!

One of the few grounds I’ve never visited for one reason or another, despite have Toffee’s who are friends. Will have to make sure I correct that before the move. Like Wolves, even when I set off break downs en-route having done everything from the Goldstone Ground to Maidenhead United it seems strange I’m missing a local ground.

I would imagine £12,000 will be for a party of 12 for one match, they no doubt sell out every home game

There are two tunnels under the Mersey but that won’t make any difference - the traffic will be an absolute nightmare, particularly as the council has, for some insane reason, seen fit to narrow the already overly congested road along the front past the Liver Building.

It’s also going to make it virtually impossible for me to get in and out of the car park I use at work for two years while their building it!

Scouse claret I did say in about 2014 was it? Celtic Premier League, but you have go by boat and the fans have got to build them first. We're not having that rabble going from Scotland to Cardiff through England to get there.

One I only attended recently...though it gets rubbished for poor Views etc. Got served pretty quick on the concourse.and a good vibe in and around the ground ....plenty of eating options and a proper football ground imo.

It is truly a ground from a bygone age. Every time I go into the concourse I’m astonished it gets a safety certificate, particularly when you think it’s entirely made of wood. The sight lines from the Lower Bullens are shocking and there are posts everywhere.

...and yet I’m really going to miss it when it’s gone.

Everton are on an away trip to leeds and they stop of at Nelson and visit a cafe and with each bun you eat, they have a wrap with a word of friendly advice in the rice paper and it says "When you've gone through Barrawford Locks and you're busing making your cookies for the cycle stop-off round trip round the Dales, don't put nutmeg into the mix instead of ginger powder because when you go past Ingleborough, it might look back at you with a one-eyed stare in your coffee."

I think there's just that one.

2022

Goodison Park Destruction Story

As a goodbye gesture Everton invite Leeds for the final match at Goodison.

The kick-off had to be delayed for a few hours because the army of Leeds fans got lost after their Sat Nav went down due to police helicopter work in the Lancashire area.

Apparently they got lost and ended up at Ewood Park.

Before the Hitchen bridge was built between Woolston and Southampton they had a ferry on rails going over the river Itchen. Can still see today where it used to dock both ends of the river.

If some kind of ferry could be used for Evertons new ground some money good certainly be made.
