New Everton Stadium at Bramley Moore Dock

So what exactly are those issues you talk of ?

Probably should have mentioned that!

Toilets is a big one, not enough toilets, not big enough, queues blocking the entrance/exit. Upstairs has two exits but downstairs the one I used only had one way in and out.

The general size of the concourse. I hated going down at half time at goodison at times and although there's more space, its like they forgot people would queue for food. Metlife and even other none football stadiums I've been to in the last few years had more space and in some cases those stadiums were smaller.

The use of the plaza (and this might change and probably isnt a priority right now) wasn't great in some ways. Big queues for programs, big queues for drinks and food. Just didn't seem well planned.

Think people forget this was a test event and that's what test events are for, it was never going to be perfect. Okay they can't make the toilets bigger but hopefully a lot of the issues will be sorted over time.

Two moans from me, caveat - I wasn't there and probably won't be for the near future.

1. South stand lower looks terrible, the safe standing seating and rails make it look half empty, not the swarming mass of bodies we know and love.

2. WiFi in the ground is a horrible move and should be reversed immediately.

Without sounding disabilist, the wheelchair sections look awful behind the goals, it just doesn't look right having these two big grey boxes either side of the goals. The Gwladys was decent the way they developed the corner for wheelchairs and the front row of the Park End worked well too. I don't mean that to sound bad or against wheelchair users, it's the design that's the issue not them.

Also this was the first ever game there really. So every wanted a programme to commemorate the day.

People aren't going to be queuing like that for normal league games after the Brighton one.

I didn’t have issues with the toilets in the east side upper, didn’t have to queue and there were plenty of units to choose from as well.

I did queue up for a hot dog and they ran out of food before I got there. Gutted I couldn’t get my cheeseburger as the pitcher foot place is only on the lower concourse. Didnt find anywhere that sold Stella - it was all Bud or Guinness. I liked the walk in walk out food place, worked well once they got more food in tho it was a bit cramped a space.

I thought the south stand looked fantastic personally from the upper east side view?

I still hate trains so I need to find an alternative transport solution getting to and from the stadium from Chorlton. I left house at 11.20am and got to stadium at 2pm. Left stadium at 6.50pm and got home at 9.35pm. Reminded me of the days I used to drive up from south London to games.

Still the stadium is beautiful, hope the football and level up to it.

Oh yeah, agreed, but the point of a test is to find the problems and I don't think it's a problem that people are highlighting them. I still love the stadium, the way it looks, the feel inside, and so many other things. There are just some things they should have done better and things they can probably fix.

We were in the family stand, got straight into the stadium with no queues 30 minutes before kick off.

Not much in the way of food or drink as they had ran out but the process was smooth and the toilets a huge upgrade especially for the kids in our group.

We'd planned to go to the club shop and get a kit but the queue was crazy, probably a good thing as he said he wants a Grealish Kit now!

It's funny, because I'm sure we all have imagined images in our heads of what users on here we've not met look like and Todd, you are pretty much spot on what I had in my head

Great pic too!
