Goodison Park through the eyes of a Liverpool Fan

Goodison Park stands as a venerable monument to football history in Liverpool, steeped in tradition and tales of glory. Home to Everton Football Club since 1892, the stadium exudes a palpable sense of heritage and belonging. With its distinctive arches and classic architecture, Goodison Park holds a special place in the hearts of Evertonians worldwide. Beyond its storied facade lies a cauldron of passion, where the faithful gather to roar their support and create an atmosphere like no other. From Dixie Dean's legendary goalscoring exploits to the modern-day heroes gracing the pitch, Goodison Park has borne witness to countless moments of triumph and despair, weaving an intricate tapestry of emotions for generations of fans. As the Toffees' spiritual home, this iconic stadium continues to stand as a testament to the club's enduring legacy and the unbreakable bond between Everton and its loyal supporters.

People underestimate how beautiful Stanley Park is❤. As a Liverpool fan I will miss the two clubs being next to each other, I often go to the crematorium to leave flowers for family and you see Liverpool scarves on one grave, with an Everton one next to it!

[@MikeK01]

Agreed. It’s a lovely space. Though as a blue, most of my memories of Stanley Park are walking through it to Anfield full of nerves, then back the other way with a cob on 90 minutes later 😂

@@MikeK01 😂😂You got the last laugh a few weeks ago mate! It is quite something standing in that park and being able to see both grounds. Anyway your new stadium looks nice and at least not too far to travel to. Probably easier for some to get to as more buses and trains go into town. Just watch Nunez doesn't play there for us the Mersey will be full of floating balls with his shots😂

[@arturotraveller3761]

Brutal but fair ! That kid (Nunez) needs a visit to Specsavers. I’m also glad I got to experience the two grounds as they are. Soon they’ll be miles apart. ( much like their trophy cabinets). PS: apologies to all the Blues. I couldn’t resist that one 😁

@@nonnayoubuzinnes1669 It was about time, but I was so happy to get at least 1 last special night at Goodison before she goes. Hope you’re right on the new stadium, but I still can’t imagine how 50k people get in and out smoothly all entering from the same side? We’ll see. Hopefully it will really benefit the city if it rejuvenates that area and brings big gigs and events etc. (As well as a more competitive Everton, please for the love of god 😂)

[@nonnayoubuzinnes1669]

@@MikeK01 It can get busy around there and it will be cold in the winter! But yes it should be good for gigs etc. You wonder how the M&S arena will feel about that, I wonder if the bigger bands will prefer the stadium? I saw the Stones and Elton John at Anfield and it feels surreal seated on the pitch! Hopefully you get the takeover sorted. Big changes at both clubs for different reasons.

Everton signed big dunk when he was locked up, no one else would touch him. We're his hes ours "true blue" ✌️🙏✌️

@@arturotraveller3761 The PL can’t claim records from before it existed. But yes, it should be mentioned more, and most evertonians do get annoyed by people acting like football didn’t exist pre 1992.

That’s what happens when your team is an outrageous success 😉 The PL and before that the First Division have been broadcast in Australia for over 50 years not to mention the massive native scouse contingent that left Liverpool for a life in Oz ! I think you’ll find there are plenty of Evertonians around the world as well. Perhaps not as many as the “neighbours” though. All the best to ya !

Blues like you to think that all their fans are local. Which is complete bollocks. Should see all the coaches heading to Goodison from North Wales every other Saturday!
