The Hill Dickinson Stadium, Everton's new stadium, is experiencing some initial parking challenges related to a controversial traffic order. Everton is addressing the issue. An Experimental Traffic Order (ETRO) scheme affecting local residents and businesses was paused due to concerns, indicating a need for better parking solutions. While the stadium's concourses were crowded at half-time, some anticipate that increased circulation when more areas open will alleviate congestion.

Rivals - Liverpool
Travel: Being part of the West Midlands contingent of Spurs fans, we travelled up from Wolverhampton Railway Station. The train takes one hour forty minutes so a decent little journey with enough time for a few beers on the way.
Refreshments: Before the game, we went straight into the Crown pub by Lime Street station and a had a couple of beers. There were a few Everton shirts dotted around but not many. I'm guessing they were also fans from outside the area. We then got a taxi to the Arkles just outside Anfield and had a few more beers before the short walk across Stanley Park. There was a good noise in the pub from the Spurs boys who were looking forward to continuing our good away form.
Impressions: The ground is proper old school and visible as you near the end of your walk through Stanley Park. There were quite a few Spurs walking through with little to no animosity between home and away fans. I can imagine it is quite an adrenaline-fueled walk through when there's more riding on the game or more rivalry. The away end is pretty much right off the road as you've crossed it, so happy days in terms of ease to get to.
Atmosphere: The game itself started well. Spurs could have been 3-0 up, but instead, former Gooner, Theo Walcott smashed in a goal from close range for Everton. Everton then looked to have gone 2-0 in front but the goal was ruled out for a shove on Sanchez and Spurs bounced back. Son scored from a tight angle before Dele smashed in a rebound and the half ended with Harry Kane scoring. The second half began where we'd left off as Eriksen volleyed low past Pickford. Gylfi did pull one back for Everton to make it 4-2 but goals from Sonny and Kane made it 6-2. I did miss two of them before half time going to get beers and food but the price was reasonable from what I remember. The concourse was tight, plenty of singing, a proper away ground.
Exit: Getting away from the ground was fine. A fair few Everton fans left at half time and those who didn't trickled out as it went from 4 to 5 to 6 up, followed by a quick rendition of "You should have gone Christmas Shopping" from the travelling Spurs fans.
Enjoy: Overall, Liverpool is a good city, friendly people (cab drivers, bar staff etc), No issues with Everton fans who were pretty dejected. Hill Dickinson Stadium is a proper football ground with all stands different to one another. As regards the Everton crowd I was surprised at the lack of noise but then again they were behind by two or more goals for most of the game. Good day out, loads of beers and a Spurs win... happy days!
