I think it looks brilliant!
I've been going since 1954 and never known any other ground like Goodison. I'd be more than happy to stay there, but in the modern game and the money that's around now it's obvious that a new stadium will be the main thing on the director's minds.

If it's true about the season ticket sales then they're going to need a bigger boat ...............

Fans arriving at Goodison Park for Everton’s first Premier League game of the season on Saturday may have notice the Old Lady is in the process of being given a facelift. An extensive refurbishment programme is well underway which will see the stadium exterior given a new look. Royal blue cladding is being placed on the existing towers in the corners of the ground, with a new tower planned for the corner of the Bullens Road and newly-named Sir Philip Carter Park Stand . Once the cladding and towers are complete, huge graphics will wrap around three of the stands and a new lighting system will illuminate the stadium like never before. With the work continuing into the autumn there is also a creative process being undertaken inside the stadium with the Everton Fans’ Forum working with the club to change the feel of Goodison’s historic concourses. Throughout the close-season, the Blues official Fans’ Forum called upon their fellow Evertonians to submit ideas for artwork, personal images and their favourite player shots to feature across the stadium concourses, alongside classic imagery and famous stories and songs. The first phase of the concourse artwork in the Top Balcony is well underway and fans sat in the highest seats at the ground will see some of the most iconic figures embossed on the walls and pillars with quotes attributed to several Everton greats. Peter Reid, Roy Vernon and Duncan Ferguson all feature as well as Everton’s club ambassadors Graeme Sharp, Ian Snodin and Graham Stuart. The ambassadors were joined by cult hero Pat Van Den Hawue for a special tour to see the artwork. Sharp said: “I am honoured to be represented on the concourses. The artwork really does make a difference to the concourse and fans will enjoy reading up on some of the fantastic players and characters that have represented Everton, whilst enjoying a Chang or two!” Nick Mernock, Chairman of the Everton Fans’ Forum, added: “We wanted to work with the wider fanbase to help us re-energise the stadium. We felt that for the Top Balcony we could draw on the Club’s history and cause a bit of discussion with the players chosen, the quotes used and the songs associated with Everton. “Things are moving very quickly with the other stands and over the next couple of games fans sitting in each of the other stands will begin to see some unique artwork which includes player and fan images.” By Greg O’Keeffe / Echo
