New banners spotted
Following the season ticket announcement, some new banners were spotted at Goodison Park promoting the launch of the campaign.
X user Terry Smith shared the images from outside Goodison on Wednesday afternoon: “Interesting banner at Goodison today. A new chapter in our story announced.
“On the eve of new ownership and with a new stadium almost ready, everything changes but everything stays the same.”
Osman admits atmosphere challenge
Everton hero Leon Osman can’t wait for the club to move to their new stadium. He believes there are some potential complications they will need to be wary of though.
The Blues are currently in their final season at Goodison Park before making the switch to a state-of-the-art facility at Bramley-Moore Dock.
During Osman’s playing career, Goodison was a huge force for good for the Blues. Under the guidance of David Moyes, Everton had an exceptional record at the Old Lady, although in recent years visiting teams have enjoyed more and more success there.
This season has been tough for Sean Dyche and his players too, with just three wins registered overall. Two of those, over Crystal Palace and Wolverhampton Wanderers, were at Goodison.
Speaking as he opened the new BoyleSports shop in The Concourse shopping centre in his boyhood town of Skelmersdale, Osman gave his verdict on how the Goodison atmosphere could be translated to the club’s new home.
“Goodison Park is certainly unique, I think that’s a good way to describe it,” he said. “The fact there’s a church in the corner says a lot about the history steeped in the community there. The atmosphere is outstanding. I hope the new stadium can bring that and it’s the Evertonians who can bring it there.
