EVERTON FC: GOODISON PARK - THE HISTORY
Спорт
THE HISTORY OF GOODISON PARK, THE HOME OF EVERTON FC SINCE 1892
Goodison Park officially opened on 24 August 1892 with an athletics event. The first match, between Everton and Bolton (4-2), was played 9 days later. Everton had previously played at Anfield, but a dispute over the rent drove them out.
Goodison Park initially consisted of one covered seating stand, two uncovered terraces, and a running track. In 1894, it hosted its first FA Cup final. Notts County beat Bolton in front of a 37,000 crowd.
The stadium got quickly developed in the early 20th century, first with the construction of a double-decker stand at the Park End in 1907, and next with the large Goodison Road Stand in 1909. The running track was also removed.
The new double-decker Goodison Road Stand had been designed by renowned architect Archibald Leitch. At that time, Goodison Park was considered the best ground in Britain.
Archibald Leitch also designed the next two new stands of the ground. The first was the new Bullens Road Stand in 1926 and the second the new Gwladys Street End in 1938. All stands were two-tiered.
On the 18th of December 1948, Goodison Park recorded its highest attendance in a match between Everton and Liverpool. A total of 78,299 supporters visited the match.
Goodison Park was one of the playing venues of the 1966 World Cup, during which it hosted three group matches, the quarter-final between Portugal and North Korea (5-3), and the semi-final between Germany and the Soviet Union (2-1).
The stadium remained largely unchanged until in 1971 a new three-tiered main stand was built in place of the Goodison Road Stand. At that time the stadium could hold about 55,000 fans, slightly less than half seated.
In the 1990s, following the Hillsborough disaster and Taylor report, Goodison Park got converted into an all-seater stadium, which reduced capacity significantly. In 1994, the last major development took place when a new stand got built at the Park End.
In the last fifteen years, Everton have been actively pursuing a move to a new stadium, first at King’s Dock and later in the Kirkby area, but both times plans fell through. After a break during which efforts were paused, the club recently picked up their pursuit for a new stadium again, focusing on a site at Liverpool’s waterfront north of the centre and one in the Croxteth suburb in the north-east of the city.

Nothing beats the character, style & feel of these old football stadiums. This ground appears to have a church in the corner! That's gold, u wont get that in the new boring stadiums. & to think they once had 72,000 plus packed in like sardines. o how i wish i could have been there. Simply magical.
A classic old school football ground. I love it and I love The Toffees! I hope the new stadium retains some of the Goodison character. COYB!

It is a great joy, you must do it at least once. It's not the same on TV. I feel the magic every time i walk up the steps and out onto the stands and you get the first look at that wonderful pitch all bright and beautiful and perfect, and the noise when we score, it just makes you feel joy. Hope you are lucky enough to experience it one day.

Magical views of this great stadium, it will be sad to see the club move to its new home.
I am not an Everton fan, however you can not deny that Goodison Park has been one of the outstanding stadiums up the 1990s ... its still a good old stadium, yet Everton need to move to the Liverpool Docklands.

Love these videos, please do the hawthorns!

A proper stadium
Like the old Goodison road stand and Park end stand.
I'm not an Everton supporter but I can still say that Goodison Park is a lovely old ground!.

It's definitely an Everton game and probably a 1924-1929 derby based on the kit and the clothes, but the keeper is throwing me because I thought it was Billy Coggins, and his only derby wasn't until 1934. Everton fielded a lot of different goalies in the Goodison derby of this era so open for a historian to pin it down. 1924 was Alfie Harland, 1926 Taylor 1926 Ben Howard-Baker, 1927 Taylor, 1928 Davies.

It's a pun maybe (Everton: Ireland / England: Liverpool)
The move will be ok. Bramley isn’t like the curvy other new grounds. It’s tight, square and football ground vibe. Sound.
2:50 (and later colour photo) The only team to wear an all-white kit, against Brazil, in 1966, was Bulgaria. It was Brazil's only win, in that World Cup, 2-0.
I always thought they could have added a second tier to the park end, theres enough space behind the stand.

There is not enough space at the sides with overhanging roofs on the side stands. Great expense for little gain. Best is to move for the landlocked site with poor transport access.
