I'm sure our opinions on a naming convention will fade away with the decades.

The Doc wrote: ↑Sat May 17, 2025 7:29 pm That was different though, Goodison was permanently named after someone in the community, Hill Dickinson is a sponsor for a defined timeframe.

Just like Spotify Camp Nou won't always be called that.

For a year or 2, the club will be completely transient, no physical roots to speak of, 'Everton' will be 50,000 matchday people sat in a brand new stadium, trying to recreate what came before. It will change the dna of the club and, as supporters, being custodians of that identity should be paramount.

I'm really looking forward to it, but very mindful of what it is to be an evertonian and yeah, a bit worried that something might be lost.

52,888 capacity, is it about 34,000 ST holders and 3,000 away fans?

So in theory, probably like 12,000 tickets for general sale at the high end of a guesstimate. That's a significant improvement on Goodison's availability, it'll be interesting to see if they continue with the separate windows for purchasing.
