New Everton Stadium at Bramley Moore Dock

[Blueomar]

The West Ham YouTuber who snuck into the derby at the end got a ticket for the test event - nice guy, very positive about the stadium, and it's worth a watch for a pretty thorough look around (he seems to be lost most of the time)

Watched his vid the other day, seems like a nice fellow and he really really likes the ground! at "toffee-hammer"

Are we really talking 30mins to Lime st. ? I took an Uber yesterday and would have thought it would be more ?

Afterwards it took me and Uncle about 30 mins to reach Shenanigans on Tithebarn.

Hes 70 so id imagine 30 to LS is very possible

Amazing news, and this is just the start:

Everton Stadium has been chosen to host the historic return of Rugby League's Ashes series this autumn.

Rugby League Commercial confirmed that the traditional England-Australia challenge will return after a 22-year absence.

Everton’s new waterfront home will host the decisive Second Test on 1 November, with the three-test series starting at Wembley Stadium (London) on 25 October and ending at AMT Headingley (Leeds) on 8 November.

The matches will be played on three consecutive Saturday afternoons – with each kicking off at 2.30pm and shown live on BBC One in the UK.

Hope it doesn’t ruin the pitch, I presume there’s an international break then.

Hear me out...

I've seen them do that at Carlisle and wondered what it was about.

Genuinely been spending my imaginary lottery wins on reinstating the Wirral (Moreton) to North Wales (Rhyl) Hovercraft route, but extending it on matchdays to a Northern dock.

How much can a hovercraft cost to maintain ?

I can lend you one, you just need to get rid of the eels.

Nah... don't want to look around at my fellow blues and see this..

Hmm... How is the second test in a 3 match series the "decisive test?" ...."Potentially decisive", granted.

Great to be a venue of choice for additional events, and all part of the marketing model, I am sure. I would want to be sure the pitch has matured and robust enough to cope, so it doesn't detract from the next football match.

You'll get used to RL marketing! They have probably realised that is when we go two down to the Aussies and then accidentally published that but joking aside, it will be a great event and the pitches always stand up pretty well. I'd not worry about that.

Come on England!
