Bramley-Moore Dock packages to start at Everton before controversial takeover
Everton have had an incredible response to their Bramley-Moore Dock hospitality packages, despite the “controversial” proposed takeover from 777 Partners, according to The Business Desk.
The business publication reported on Wednesday (20 September) that ALL, who have carried out the Toffees re-set of new hospitality have had an overwhelming demand of interest, including already selling out seasonal restaurant memberships to “Dock on 1” in just three months.
Despite the controversial takeover from American investment company 777, who look likely to acquire Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1 per cent stake in the Toffees [Sky Sports, 15 September], there remains a lot of interest from fans in the new packages at the Toffees’ new ground.
Explaining the interest, The Business Desk wrote: “The club said its Everton Stadium hospitality packages are proving incredibly popular with the fanbase. Seasonal sales of other ALL spaces – inspired by the vibrant dining scene across the North West – have also sold out.
“ALL encompasses all the bars, restaurants and experiences that will be available at the new stadium, which the club says presents a revolutionary re-set of traditional football hospitality.”
Revolutionary re-set
Despite the turmoil at the top of Everton currently, it appears as though the Toffees are on to a winner with their new plans around their Bramley-Moore Dock stadium that could not only be great for fans but also provide some much-needed funding to the club.
Through thick and thin the Everton fanbase has been loyal to their club and that is displayed in the size of the crowds that have been attending Goodison Park over the last few campaigns despite the terrible form of the Toffees on the pitch.
However, this proposed new plan around the stadium makes the need for new investment in Everton even more crucial and sooner rather than later, as under Moshiri, there will not be enough capital invested to keep the development of the stadium on track.

Hopefully, that will ensure those who have decided to buy membership for the new stadium, will have a stadium to enjoy when construction is set to be completed in 2024.
