点评:I recently went on the new Everton Stadium tour at the Hill Dickinson Stand. The facilities are genuinely impressive, and our guides — I believe Paul and definitely Sophie — were excellent. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and gave us a great behind‑the‑scenes look at what will soon be one of the best stadiums in the country.
However, as an Evertonian, I left feeling something important was missing.
For a club with such a deep history and such a unique identity, the tour doesn’t yet tell the story of who Everton are. If new fans or visitors from other clubs come to Liverpool, they’ll naturally be drawn to Anfield — but if they happen to look up Everton, there’s very little here that explains our heritage, our culture, or why we’re known as The People’s Club.
We haven’t lifted a trophy in over 30 years, but our history is rich, our roots run deep, and our supporters have kept this club alive through some incredibly difficult periods. Everton would not be where it is today without its fans — and that story deserves to be front and centre.
Right now, the tour shows the stadium.
It doesn’t show the soul.
Everton are the senior club in the city, founding members of the Football League, pioneers of the English game, and a club built on community and loyalty. Visitors should walk away understanding that. They should leave thinking, “Liverpool have the trophies, but Everton have the heart — this is my second club.”
The stadium is world‑class.
The staff are brilliant.
Now the tour needs to match that by celebrating the one thing that makes Everton truly special: our people, our history, and our supporters.
I hope the club builds this into the experience, because Everton’s story deserves to be told properly.
翻译:我最近参加了埃弗顿新球场希尔·迪金森看台的参观活动。球场设施确实令人印象深刻,我们的导游——我记得是保罗,肯定是索菲——也非常棒。他们热情友好、知识渊博,让我们深入了解了这座即将成为全国最佳球场之一的幕后故事。
然而,作为一名埃弗顿球迷,我离开时却感觉缺少了些什么。
对于一个拥有如此悠久历史和独特个性的俱乐部来说,这次参观并没有完整地讲述埃弗顿的故事。如果新球迷或来自其他俱乐部的游客来到利物浦,他们自然会被安菲尔德球场所吸引——但如果他们去了解埃弗顿,这里几乎没有任何内容能够解释我们的历史传承、文化,以及我们为何被称为“人民的俱乐部”。
我们已经超过30年没有赢得过任何奖杯,但我们的历史底蕴深厚,根基稳固,我们的球迷也让俱乐部度过了许多极其艰难的时期。如果没有球迷,埃弗顿就不会有今天的成就——而这段历史理应成为重点。
目前,参观路线主要展示的是球场。
它并没有展现埃弗顿的灵魂。
埃弗顿是这座城市的元老级俱乐部,是英格兰足球联赛的创始成员,是英格兰足球的先驱,更是一家建立在社群和忠诚之上的俱乐部。参观者应该带着这样的感受离开。他们应该想着:“利物浦拥有奖杯,但埃弗顿拥有灵魂——这是我的第二支球队。”
球场是世界一流的。
工作人员也十分出色。
现在,参观路线需要与之相匹配,颂扬真正让埃弗顿与众不同的元素:我们的人民、我们的历史和我们的球迷。
我希望俱乐部能将这些元素融入到参观体验中,因为埃弗顿的故事值得被完整地讲述。
