The Goodison Sleepout is no more but the need for funds to help the homeless hasn't gone away. If you can help with my fundraising please do as every penny raised will help someone.

An excellent, honest piece from @john-b58.bsky.social highlighting outstanding stadium issues.
Valid comments from @patricridge.bsky.social too: outsourcing large elements of service provision don’t absolve the Club of responsibility for the quality of that service.

Business With Blain: Hill Dickinson Stadium is Brilliant, but Everton Have Issues to Solve
The first non-footballing event at Hill Dickinson Stadium proved a success, albeit with some major drawbacks that must be addressed quickly by Everton.

I think it’s universally accepted that the London Stadium is a poor football ground and the Everton Stadium is magnificent.
West Ham’s attendance against Spurs of 62,459 means their income was probably at least £500,000 more than ours yesterday.

One bright spot to come out of the US tour was the coverage from @everton.toffeetvefc.com thought the daily shows, press conferences & Vlogs were all excellent. 🤔 Hopefully they get further opportunities with the club. Well done to @baz.toffeetvefc.com @ped7.toffeetvefc.com @john-b58.bsky.social

See the guy with his head in his hands? That's Jake O'Brien, on loan at Molenbeek, gutted to have conceded as Beveren striker Thierno Barry celebrates after curling the ball into the bottom corner.
This was the Belgian Second Division in 2022 and now they are Everton team-mates.
