What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Goodison Park offers a deeply historic and passionate football experience, with stadium tours praised for their knowledgeable guides and match days delivering electric atmospheres. However, visitors note the stadium's age, with dated facilities and occasional restricted views, alongside a sometimes 'bitter undertone' in the crowd due to the club's long trophy drought. The upcoming demolition adds a poignant layer to any visit.
"This was a father-son trip to celebrate the big 18. My son has been a huge Everton fan for years now so I figured what better way to mark this moment than with a trip to see Goodison Park before it gets torn down at the end of the year.
We did the tour the day before the match against the Tottenham Spurs. The guides were passionate and super knowledgeable walking the group throughout the stadium while bringing the rich, vibrant history to life. It was very enjoyable and informative.
The day of the match was even better as the energy was electrifying. From the boisterous crowds of loyal Evertonians to the friendly taunts from the Spurs fan base, we enjoyed every minute of our first EPL match. It was even better as the offense was in high gear racking up 3 goals to the opponent’s 2 in the first half. The 2nd half was more a chess match with ball control being the key focus.
In the end, the memories were made as we took in the views once more of this hallowed pitch and home to Everton."

"This historic and famous stadium, and home of Everton, was quite the experience. I'm glad to have seen the Redmen here before they demolish it. It's a pity English football is losing another one of it's old school stadiums, but the club probably needs the move, as the place is looking a bit tired. The wooden seats are way past their sell by date and I noticed there are still some parts of the stadium that have restricted views. In the concourse of the stand, the fixtures, fittings and wiring etc. looks like it was installed in the World War 2 days. The food on offer wasn't great either. I met a few sound people from the older generation here, who have followed their club through thick and thin and don't boo their team constantly, like a lot of the fans here. I totally get that these fans have been long suffering with not winning anything since 1995, the board, and rubbish teams, but there is a really bitter undertone to the atmosphere here, that you could cut with a knife. It permeates inside and outside the stadium, I was afraid of being outed as a Red. Also, these fans celebrating getting a draw in the last minute, as if they won the world cup, was wild. Really small time. A new stadium and reset is much needed for this fan base."
