Labour urged to get involved after latest Everton outrage at Bramley-Moore Dock
Everton have faced their fair share of issues as the club prepare to move to Bramley-Moore Dock.
The Toffees will say goodbye to Goodison Park at the end of the season.
In preparation for the move, Everton have held two test events at their brand-new 52,888-capacity stadium. However, fans have experienced some difficulties during both events.
Transport and getting in and out of the stadium have been the main concerns, with Liverpool City Council urged to take action.
Everton have also been told to reduce prices after struggling to sell some of their more luxury seats at Bramley-Moore Dock. However, it appears as though prices are rising elsewhere, too.
Everton fans outraged after recent reveal at Bramley-Moore Dock
The Toffees will need to find a way to pay off the cost of building Bramley-Moore Dock, which shouldn’t take too long with a £150million windfall on the cards for Everton.
However, that doesn’t mean fans should be exploited, which is what some supporters feel is happening.
As reported by Mail Online (25 March), Everton fans have labeled the cost of food and drink at Bramley-Moore Dock a “joke”, with one supporter sharing that two 330ml bottles of Corona, a doughnut and a pie came to a cost of £18.70.
However, ex-Goodison scout Bryan King – speaking exclusively to Goodison News – doesn’t think much can be done about these rising prices.
“New stadium, new prices, I’m afraid,” King said.
“The stadium has got to be paid for, let’s be fair. If you’re going to a football ground, I’m afraid it is the same in every football ground, everyone complains about the prices.
“Go to Glastonbury and see how much a beer costs. This is just a sign of the times; prices have gone up everywhere. Talk to the Labour government about that, see if they can do anything about it.”
Everton need to ensure fans are kept happy
Moving from Goodison Park to Bramley-Moore Dock is a big deal.
| Everton’s last four games at Goodison Park | Date |
| v Arsenal | 5th April |
| v Manchester City | 19th April |
| v Ipswich Town | 3rd May |
| v Southampton | 18th May |
Some supporters might even have reservations due to their affection toward Goodison.
As a result, Everton need to ensure their supporters are kept happy throughout the transition. Therefore, if that means reducing the cost of food and drink slightly, that is what needs to be done.
