Everton reach major landmark ahead of Hill Dickinson Stadium move as footage shared
Everton are finalising their preparations as they move stadium for next season, and excitement is building.
The Toffees bid farewell to the iconic Goodison Park at the end of last season, and they will hope to enjoy their first campaign at their new ground.
Everton want to further strengthen their squad ahead of their move, with Thierno Barry the only key signing as a new striker to open the stadium.
The Hill Dickinson Stadium is on the verge of full completion as Everton prepare to move in, and one key development has now been revealed.
Everton Way now complete at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Everton have made significant progress on adding club crests on the corners of their new ground, and three more are set to follow.
There has now been an official announcement with updates over the progress of the works at the stadium, with some yet to be completed, but one key part is now finished.
Everton Way, a walkway along the entire south stand of the new stadium, has now been finished, with 36,000 personalised paving stones engraved into the ground.
| Stats | Goodison Park | Hill Dickinson Stadium |
| Capacity | 39,414 | 52,888 |
| Years open | 132 | >1 |
| Construction Cost | £3,000 | £750million |
Fans were able to submit messages and tributes to feature on the walkway, which has now been finalised.
The walkway will be covered up temporarily, as Hill Dickinson branding will be added to the south stand, but this exciting project is sure to go down well with those attending matches.
Everton need to add more signings ahead of stadium move
While there is excitement about the stadium move, Everton will need to show ambition on the pitch and address their threadbare squad.
A lot of senior players were allowed to leave, but Barry has been the only signing in a window where other clubs who finished around Everton have been more active in the market.
David Moyes will aim to add to his midfield and attacking options, but there was a huge boost as Jarrad Branthwaite signed a long-term deal to remain at the club.
Everton’s first match at the Hill Dickinson will come against AS Roma in a friendly in August, and tickets quickly sold out for the highly anticipated game.
