Goodison Park (Everton FC)

***Please do not comment or rate because of the team you support; actually read the review first!*** The first ever purpose built football stadium lies at the heart of a mass of housing. This has been the home of Everton f.c. since 1892. The four stands that were once representing architectural revolution, now left behind by newer stadia. This famous old ground lies just 3/4 of a mile away from the home of Liverpool f.c; anfield. Only stanley park separates the two clubs and their similarly out dated stadia, yet both remain at the forefront of English football. I can assure you all, however, that although the stands may be dated, the atmosphere at ...  Read the complete review

Goodison Park was once one of the shining lights in the world of football stadia. Unfortunately, even this die-hard Evertonian can see that this is a ground that has had its day. Undoubtedly filled with history Goodison Park leaves me with a sad feeling of nostalgia. I grew up five minutes from the ground and saw during the nineties Everton go through so tumultuous times nearly being relegated on numerous occasions. The euphoria of the 1994 game relegation saving win against Wimbledon was something I will never forget and other fans will point to 1985's Bayern Munich game. However, the ground itself is fast becoming a shadow of what it used to be as seemingly every ...  Read the complete review

'Goodison Park' is the home of Everton Football club who play in the English Premier League. The stadium is situated in the city of Liverpool, was first built in 1892 and today has an all seated capacity of 40,569. It is actually one of the oldest football stadiums in the world believe it or not and was the first purpose built football stadium in England.

Looking around the stadium it is not one of the best and not one of the worst, its somewhere in the middle. It is made up ...  Read the complete review

Ok- firstly I admit bias, I am an Evertonian. In fact I have just some back from a slaughtering 2-0 defeat at Goodison by Manchester United today!! History As a bit of history Everton was a founder member of the football league in 1888, they have been first division champions 9 times, runners up 7 times, second division champions in 1930/31 and runners up 1953/54. They've won the FA cup 5 times, been runners up 7 times. They've won the Charity shield 9 times. They've won the European Cup Winners Cup too. So we are talking a good team here with a solid history despite the cracks from other team supporters. Everton have been at Goodison ...  Read the complete review

In it's day Goodison park was the finest stadium in the country. If anybody has visited the ground in recent years they will quickly come to the conclusion that it is time for Everton to move on in order to regain their position at the forefront of english football. The ground still attracts high attendences so therefore can generate great atmospheres. Unfortunately you have to have a decent side too, so unless we move to the proposed new kings dock stadium we will remain in the doldrums, with the bank manager on our backs ...  Read the complete review
