They are going to cut the capacity to just over 3,000 it'll be like dragging a kitbag down the M1.

How do you cut the capacity from 50,000 to 3,000 it's hilarious :)

I'm assuming they'll only open the stand with the players' tunnel on matchdays.

There will be more officials than fans, the echo will be astounding.

It's a fantastic gesture by the club. I doff my cap to them. I'm just not sure how practical or sensible it is.

They will flog the land next year citing that they tried.

The stand capacities are:

• Goodison Road - 12,664
• Bullens Road - 10,546
• Park End - 5,750
• Gwladys Street - 10,612

If they retain just the Goodison Road stand they will have far more than a 3,000 capacity.

What the fuck is the City legend Joe Royle doing there?

Yawning his head off when they showed him.

That isn't what they are doing though, it'll be the whole stadium open not just a stand it will effectively be an empty stadium. Unless they knock it down it will just be a near empty stadium.

Everton are drawing up plans about how they will reduce the capacity of Goodison Park when the club's women's team move in, including closing some of the stadium's upper tiers.
The women's team average attendance has been 2,062 at their current home at Walton Hall Park and Everton are keen to make Goodison more intimate with its current capacity at 39,572.

And the game hadn't even started. Is Hinchcliffe there?

Best memory of Goodison is the brilliant Florian Albert for Hungary v. Brazil at the 1966 World Cup. After the game the crowd chanted "Albert, Albert" till he came out to receive their applause.

It shows how bad our recruitment has been when Everton have a full back approaching his 40th birthday who is better than anything we have in that department.

"good to see the fans respecting the occasion and staying off the pitch" commentator doesn't mention the 2000 strong army of perimeter security guards plus the entire Merseyside police force all there to stop them lol.

Very emotional, but good and enjoyable as well. A nice way to see us out. I will miss the place, but we needed to move. I have many great memories of the place, football, family and friends. Nice to know I can go along and see the ladies play there as well now.

£60000 from Sligo Rovers after impressing in a friendly.
Must be one of the best ever buys, service and value for money.
