The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast - Episode 12
from The Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast With Nick & Dom · host Nick Bramley & Dom Hanrahan
On this Episode 12 of the Half & Half Scarf Football Podcast with Nick & Dom, we look at the impact of Stadiums on fans, clubs and areas such as attracting players, investment and future growth. We look at the recent opening of the Hill Dickinson at Everton - how is the fan experience, where does it leave the old Goodison superstitions, match day routines and rituals, and how long does it take to find and embrace new ones? Are fans getting a better experience or are they just paying higher prices for a "different" experience? We look at ground openings such as: • 2025 - Everton – Hill Dickinson • 2020 - Brentford – The G-Tech • 2019 - Spurs – The Tottenham Hotspur Stadium • 2016 - West Ham – The London Stadium • 2011 – Brighton – Amex • 2006 - Arsenal – The Emirates • 2003 - Man City – The Etihad • 1997 – Stadium of Light – Sunderland • 1995 - Boro – The Riverside Stadium • 1993 - Millwall – Old Den v New Den What has been the longer term impact and what will be the legacy of these grounds? Would some fans rather go back? Will The London Stadium EVER feel like "home" to West Ham fans, or indeed a "proper" football ground to everyone else? We would welcome your views and comments.

What this episode covers
A football discussion Podcast hosted by Nick Bramley & Dom Hanrahan. Two fans and ”Men of a Certain Age” with years of experience as fans of the live & televised game in England and around Europe..... This entertaining weekly Podcast is for ANYONE with a passing interest in football, whether an on the terraces fan, an armchair fan, a fan of the Premier League or the National League and anything in between. Each week we will discuss and explore all that we think might just be worthy of two ”average Joe” football fans giving their time over to consider and discuss - and hopefully entertain, or even annoy you. Football, is after all a devisive sport of opinions and we LOVE it...... It’s not a moaning session, it’s not just a hankering for heavy pitches, flying tackles and laced up footballs, but we think that our audience will certainly agree with a lot of the topics we intend to discuss. Either way, we hope that you will be engaged in a thought process that might just keep you entertained. Thanks for your support.
