I was half considering it, but really that’s a massive jump from what I pay in the Gwladys Street at the moment, so it’s a no from me.
(which sounds like one of L. S. Lowry's lesser-known works...)
Re the discussion below about the club hoping people will stay around after the game (and also spend more time at the ground before the game than, as a whole, we do now).
An interesting comparison is Brighton. I go to two or three home matches a season there with a friend who lives locally (including "sitting on my hands" for our game each season). For those that haven't been, the basic problem there is that the ground is out of town and the train station (Falmer), while very close, does not really have the capacity to disperse everyone quickly so they chose from the start to keep all the bars etc in the concourses open after the game and, unless you are in a hurry to get somewhere, it makes a lot of sense to stay on for another pint or two and then head to the station.
There is also a non-corporate free to enter bar (Dick's Bar), which doesn't get too busy after the game.
Where I think Everton may struggle is getting people to pay extra for the "bar only" options, given that there won't be the same issue about getting away from the ground and that every pub in the city centre is within walking distance. Has anyone on here joined up for the "bar only" hospitality? I'd be interested to know what they are charging, given that prices are conspicuously absent from the ALL marketing on the Stadium website (as far as I can see anyway).
If you have to ask the price, you can't afford it
