These are all fuming because the club are selling them their seat at Goodison for 90 quid. Well, half a seat actually, think it’s just the back in a presentation case. It’s probably dawning on them that taking a screwdriver to the last game isn’t going to cut it.
The penny is dropping that a big, shiny new stadium doesn’t pay for itself…
There’s a lifetime of evidence that he actually is.
The seats/rows in the old Kemlyn Road stand, meant you had to sit with your knees at an angle to the side…
Didn’t the Blueshite used to rain down the seats onto the pitch whenever they got beat at home… or was that the cushions… hard to remember with that mob…!
I heard the PR department wanted to sell off each individual brick as a memento to raise funds… until they were informed Woodison has no bricks as it is just a glorified wooden shed with a tin roof :0)
What’s to fume about. It’s a valuable piece of memorabilia to quite a lot of Everton fans.
Bitters probably got a huge chunk of luck there.
1 unfortunate deflection for their first goal
1 bowler from the Fulham keeper
Atleast 2 very good saves by Prickford.
1 penalty not given by the referee to Fulham
Jammy cunts.
There was an interview with Duncan Ferguson in the Guardian. I went to Google something about him. Obviously has hidden depths that we didn’t know about. (F***ing AI!)
This, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, is why one should not rely on AI.
Intelligence my arse.
Yep. Cue AI melding every single Ferguson into this Duncan super scot. I believe he is also an award winning documentary maker and populariser of the term, now out of fashion, ‘Chimerica’. Not to mention a comic popular in the US and a former manager famous for his watch talking and gum chewing.
Goodison will live on!
Bugger..that’s our extra carparking gone…
I’m quite happy that it is remaining. I do have the nagging feeling that it’s because it would cost more to demolish it.
The upkeep of a stadium isn’t cheap either
The Womens team and younth teams will play there, but it won’t ever be full (i.e. generating income). Just under 40,000 seats, the women’s current home has a capacity of just over 2,000 seats, with an avg attendance of a few hundred this season.
Maybe the owners will look to use it for other entertainment shows - we’ve had comedy for a long time there, so maybe some music?
How cost effective is it to keep a tin shed?
They could ask the fanbase to knock some of the ground down on the weekend to save them a bob or two.
I assume this is why they announced it today
Actually, weren’t they planning on flogging the seats off?
Probably change their mind on Monday about this
It’s good that the stadium remains.
Looks like they want to have a backup stadium in case the stench at the New one is too much.
Keeping a crumbling old stadium with a 40000 capacity going just to host a team that gets a “crowd” of less than 2000 seems like a recipe for disaster to me. They must surely be waiting for the right development opportunity to present itself and when it does, the bulldozers will be let loose.
