Advert out saying using the train to bmd is a good way of getting your steps in given it’s 30mins away

Brilliant

Re: Mersey travel

A friend in a Supporters' Club says they've been told where the buses will go and its a "ten minute walk" from the dock so not too far, same distance as Priory Road from Goodison

Forget coaches, what about the rapid transport vehicles that definitely aren't bendy buses.

Chariot still hasn't explained why we need bendy buses from the airport. It's not like we're kopites.

They should call them Bendy Chariots to wind him him up.

All part of a strategy to discredit BMD, they wont want us having concerts and other events there, they will want them to continue at the other shower of shites place.

Once people realise it's an absolute ball acher to get in and out of there the press will be all over it.

Get ready for Echo compo faces with "I was forced to sleep at Sandhills cos I couldn't get on a train" type stories.

Having experienced the sheer ballache of trying to get either to and from gigs at Anfield, I'm not having this.

Re: Mersey travel

Why would you go to a gig at Anfield?

Re: Mersey travel

Because I wanted to go and see The Stones and Bruce Springsteen.

It is getting darkly comical at this point. I deliberately didn't bother with Roma as I need to know what the score is before Brighton and I thought I'd learn from others' experience given where I am at.

Was looking at wheelchairs today as my EDSS (MS fans will know what that means) has hit 6.5 and though I won't need to use one much, the walking stick and the walking frame aren't going to cut it some days.

Everton used to give me an accessible parking pass for Stanley Park, which was still a bit of a hike but was good enough for my needs. This year we went into a ballot (which I wasn't even invited to originally despite being an accessibility permit holder) and I didn't get one.

Lazza has been sound and said he'd share a taxi when he's going but the 'get the steps in' advertising from Merseytravel seems to have missed all the representations from disabled fans that er, we can't walk to Sandhills or Moorfields. And we certainly can't walk to Sandhills and stand there being kettled.

Dear me.

Its been a epic fuckup by Merseytravel & Rotherham and his fob off that they wernt sure it would be completed is a pathetic response

The club should be berating them in the background

Have the club done enough? I wonder if we’d had owners in they may have been a bit more demanding. I think Everton have left it to the council and they’ve neglected us.

To build a massive stadium and have next to zero car parking right next to it, does smack of a huge missed opportunity. You only have to look at the car parks City have right next to their ground to see they are raking it in from that point of view.

For match goers its probably not that much of an issue as we go regularly enough to find and settle for an alternative (plus a high percentage will want a drink and wouldn't consider driving anyway). But if the place is going to be a go to destination for large concerts then a sizeable number of people will want to be able to go in their car.

Re: Mersey travel

One of my favourite Everton abroad memories was a bendy bus at Standard Liege. It was proper bouncing and got even worse (better) when Joe Parkinson was spotted on the front seat of the one behind. He was absolutely buzzing at the bus going mental.

I think that's the nub of it. We've been rudderless for years. It's why we got hammered by Masters and it's given Kopite Rotherham licence to completely ignore us.

I do think the complete lack of planning re. infrastructure is going to become a huge issue for us. That joke of a staircase being built AT THIS POINT tells you all you need to know. It reeks of panic.

To be clear, I don't think this is on the club. It's on the council, specifically Chariot. That stadium is a total game changer for the whole area. To not facilitate that by investing in transport infrastructure is just inept at best. At worst it's because he very much wants to do the bare minimum to assist our development.

If LFC were about to move into that stadium there would have been hundreds of millions of council money spent on infrastructure. Those metal railings at Sandhills should finish Rotherham. Not just pathetic, but dangerous. He's fucking clown.

Re: Mersey travel

It feels like it will take a death at Sandhills for anyone to take the issues seriously.

Re: Mersey travel

Not at all, this should have been something they should have been sorting with them even years back

Re: Mersey travel

Same boat pal, I've made no secret of my use of a mobility scooter to travel anything more than 50 yards these days. Even if I could get dropped off right outside the BMD gates, I'd struggle to make it across the plaza and forget about standing to queue.

Accessibility provision inside the stadium if excellent, but but not much thought given to how those people are meant to actually get to/from the ground.

A disabled drop off zone inside the plaza would have been a tremendous help to many.

I am going to struggle to walk from the station. I am hopefully having a knee replacement in the next few months so for most of this season it will be difficult to get there.

Sake lid. I was thinking of returning the compliment to a West Ham fan who sorted us out for Macclesfield tickets in 2009 but then wondered about the logistics of it all.

I also want to take a 90+ dad of a mate. Can you keep this board in touch with the options that we have please. I really hope there is a capacity to listen and learn from the club to make it a good experience for everyone.

Re: Mersey travel

Anything I hear I will whack on here mate. I'm in EDSA so I hear what they pass on. Tbh the one good thing is how much different fans are being supportive of disabled and elderly fans.

I do appreciate the club are in a difficult situation. The infrastructure isn't their fault. It just sticks in the craw that we had better provision at Goodison (particularly when you consider the Blue Base as a safe space) and that it might be a struggle for disabled, elderly fans, pregnant women etc.

Yeah if this was them no way would they be getting this afterthought treatment. But then he only found out the other week the stadium was gonna get built. Gonna be interesting the Roma and Brighton games…

Re: Mersey travel

Bobby is a joke. Let’s hope the club step up.
