pete0 Posted July 27, 2019 Report Share Posted July 27, 2019 2 hours ago, MikeO said: Other than Arsenal supporters when they went to watch a game, 95% of them would have Highbury back in a heartbeat going by people I've spoken to. Blew everyone away at first look perhaps but then reality kicked in. Ultimately it's nice to have a great looking stadium, like most expect ours to be, but when you're sat there watching a match the aesthetics of the outside are irrelevant. That's the one thing, the most important thing, Meis has got right. Liked the booklet they done comparing the seating to the other clubs. Us and Chelsea being the only ones to value atmosphere higher than whatever reason there is to have flatter rows. 55 minutes ago, StevO said: Most media outlets have commented how good it looks, from Sky, BBC, Talk sport and plenty of former players in the media, not just former Everton players. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/uk-england-merseyside-49109807 https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/25/everton-unveil-plans-new-stadium-liverpool-docklands-area https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/premier-league/everton-new-stadium-bramley-moore-dock-designs-latest-jonathan-liew-new-white-hart-lane-a9022831.html%3famp I googled 'Everton new ground' and these are the first three that pop up for me. Main thing I see from that is the stands are steep and it'll be good for the area. From memory when I went on SkySports website the news wasn't prominent either after the announcement.

I put a lot of detail about this in the survey. They should offer a similar seating position. They should also try to give you the option of sitting with friends and family if it can be accommodated. I meet 9 other people at the match, I sit next to one of them. We are all in the same block though. If we could be put in the same area that would add to our experience and our atmosphere, multiply that and I think the atmosphere grows. I also think they could condense season tickets to the front of each stand, leaving no single or double untaken seats. That way general sales tickets will be available in bigger quantities, so better suited for groups. Say in a 35 row stand the first 28 rows could all be season tickets with 7 rows of general sale. These kind of things can make a huge difference, and worth noting that West Ham didn’t do anything like this. MikeO and Wiggytop 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
