What will the home changing room look like at Everton Stadium?

Phil, the place Everton needs to be is in the Premier League and financially secure.

I'm sure that, if Russia would have invaded 2 years earlier, the stadium would not have been built. We would possibly be in a better position than we are now instead of being practically skint, an absent owner, dodgy buyers hovering round and the corrupt Premier League doing its best to destroy our club.

Yes, the stadium looks great but we can't afford it, and if we don't get the points back, we will probably be relegated, but hey, we will have one of the best stadiums in the UK. I know what I would rather have. And by the way, I said before a bucket of sand was drawn, we can't afford it.

As an Evertonian, I abhor that — to my core.

The only consolation is that this is who you are and we know that you are in a tadpole minority of perverse posters who never celebrate but always castigate.

You are as representative of Evertonians as London is of England.

You don't speak for us, thankfully, Mr Alexander, in your fuming septuagenarian angry little space.

Never his biggest fan, but he was a steady player. Great defensive recovery abilities.

He sums up my emotions in his comments.

Part of me knows we have to leave Goodison and the new Everton Stadium is a fitting location. We have done for decades.

Part of me doesn't want to leave Goodison. But we have to.

Can't afford it? Well to coin a military phrase, we are long behind the line of departure now. It's happening.

Of course, I'd better add in that there will be those who are sad to leave Goodison Park for the obvious reasons.

My comment about those that don't need to visit is aimed more at those who seem to be constantly negative towards anything to do with Everton. There's always Tranmere to support or Marine. :)

Whether we can afford it is another matter. I guess time will tell. Where there's a will there's a way.

Well, right here and now, we have the Wembley of the north at Bramley-Moore Dock! (We could do with a 60,000 capacity though…) Did no one else notice it apart from us Blues?

Manchester United's minority shareholder Jim Ratcliffe wants the “Wembley of the North” at Old Trafford – not the city itself.

Why the North needs a 98,000 capacity stadium and why the taxpayer should contribute a single penny towards it are figments of his imagination.

And if they had invaded 3 years later, we would have not had 10 points deducted and be playing in a shiny new stadium.

They collectively spunked good money after bad, signing the wrong managers, wrong players and have now totally hamstrung us.

If only we could have had someone like Daniel Levy running things. Levy might be a knob but I wish he was our knob. A shrewd businessman. He makes Moshiri look like Timmy Mallett.

Wembley makes England a London-centric thing in my opinion.

If we were going to have a national stadium, the Midlands might have been a good choice.

Although personally, I'd rather we adopted the German model.

Take the team to the country. Villa Park, the Emirates, Old Trafford, St James' Park and of course, the new Everton Stadium.

As to having no chance of winning trophies, Jagielka scored the winner in the FA Cup Semi-Final. Had he, Yakubu and Arteta not been seriously injured, we'd have had a much better shot at winning the Final — a game we narrowly lost with a makeshift team.

That apart, while I'm not disputing Jags was well paid, he certainly wouldn't be on my list of expensive shirkers just picking up a paycheck.

What a strike!

I thought Don might respond to a gentle piece of chastisement from Miss Better if it's said aloud in a "school marm" sort of tone.

Loved this guy as an Everton player. Is he not coaching?? He has an attitude that surely would rub off on others in coaching or managing.

The derby goal!!!! 'Nuff said, Don!!!!

Sorry to pile on even more, mate, but Jagielka was also the captain when we got our highest Premier League points total, and Everton's most-capped England international.

I really think you blundered with this topic, mate.

Mitigating circumstances: he was the captain and doing the bidding of his master, Kenwright same as the other two.

Seems a decent enough fella but totemic of our acceptance of obscurity.

At least the changies look better than those dreadful pics of the bars.

And let's not forget that winning penalty at Wembley in the semi final against Manchester United clad in all blue.

Once again, I gave my ticket to my son and watched it in a nearby pub surrounded by Manchester United supporters.

They were mostly friendly but on one occasion, they spouted out some Hillsborough vile and got confronted by an Evertonian, who left them in no uncertain terms. We were outnumbered in that bar by about 4 to 1. But they backed down.

A couple got kicked out having been caught doing drugs in the toilets.

When that penalty went in, I was standing on the chairs, possibly on the table. I can't remember.

I went to meet my son and youngest brother as they left the stadium chanting Jagielka's name.

I literally leaped over the couch.

Fast as fook, brave as anyone in a blue shirt that I can remember.

Read the game well.

Dare I say the only player to earn us 60m and still play for us.

Lots of short bitter memories on this thread, he is only touring the new stadium FFS.
