Everton are already feeling the effects of moving to Hill Dickinson Stadium.

The new arena has certainly been central to regular conversation among fans over recent years.

There was obvious excitement before moving in, but that was impacted by the final days of Goodison Park.

Many didn't want to leave the Grand Old Lady and still believe it was the wrong decision.

Others feel that it was the right call for the future of the Toffees despite the pain of leaving the past behind.

Everton fans will continue to debate the matter, but it is already clear what sort of difference Hill Dickinson Stadium is making.

Hill Dickinson Stadium revenues up on Goodison Park

The world of modern day football has seen various sides up and move to shiny, new grounds.

Many have left fans feeling disappointed, even in state-of-the-art arenas like the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

There have been teething issues on Bramley Moore Dock and will take some time to be rectified.

Some difficult results and issues surrounding transport and the area around the stadium have raised eyebrows.

That has prompted one fan to question Everton journalist Alan Myers about whether there has actually been any "tangible benefit" from moving from Goodison to Hill Dickinson.

They say the Toffees have "moved to a worse ground with worse transport links", but Myers has revealed that it is already making a telling financial impact.

He said: "It’s already making a £35M difference revenue wise to be fair."

That should help clear up any issues people have with the stadium, but what could that mean for Everton further down the line.

Why will stadium revenue be so important for Everton?

Finances in football continue to play a massive part in where clubs sit in the hierarchy of English football.

With the rules set out how they are, the need to bring revenue into the club is huge.

Gone are the days of owners pumping in cash, everything you spend has to come from within.

Tottenham are the perfect example of how that can work after transforming White Hart Lane into arguably the best stadium in the world.

Their ground is used for NFL matches, concerts and even conferences for businesses, all of which boost revenue.

That allowed them to spend more than £300m in the latest summer window.

Everton will be sitting up and taking notice of that as they look to make their new arena a major revenue stream.

That is why a move to Hill Dickinson Stadium will have a major impact and could transform the Toffees in the near future.
