It's a multi million pound state of the art stadium built in one go, Goodison was built and redeveloped in many stages over many years. I doubt there's plans to do any Goodison-esque changes over the next quarter of a century to HDS so the two aren't really comparable.

I'm not saying concerns aren't valid, but there are a couple of extra posts across the last few pages. I agree with the disabled seating areas, the lack of branding, there being too much concrete and not enough blue... My point is that the stadium will evolve over time and we'll find what works for us (the same as fans finding where they want to be seated/stood).

How often do people move into a new home and not want to change anything? Even new builds. When you start to live with the plans you thought were perfect you realise what needs tweaking and changing.

And of course I'm not referring to redevelopments akin to what Goodison went through (but you know that). I'm pointing out that this will be a long term home and changes will inevitably take place over the years.

I pray they do a lot of work in the summer

Please please please please

What will they effectively change?

They’re not going to move the disabled bays.

The south stand will always be a double tier stand and will be used as such by the fans.

The empty seats? Will the club move away from seat unique?

How will they fill up the huge gaps in the ground, especially in the west stand?

I actually think the ground is great, but can’t hide my disappointment on what the south stand has turned out to be and don’t see that ever changing.

At this point, it’s daft to pretend it isn’t a massive disappointment.
