Everton announced that the fanbase has chosen the name of the "fan-named pub" at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, which will be on Village Street, a "fan-focused area on Level 3 of the West Stand."
This particular pub will be known as The Prince Rupert, a name which the writers at this website are quite in favor of.
According to the club's press release, the name won by a slim margin over The Southall Arms, with Toffee Tavern, Eddie Cavanagh's, The Royle Oak, and The Giants Taproom also in contention.
Village Street will also include a trio of other on-site bars: Queen's Head pub, Kendall's, and Dixie's, all of which are described as having distinctive atmospheres and providing "a stunning panoramic view of the pitch" from the halfway line.
All of this is only exciting news in that it indicates just how close Everton are to stepping out onto the field at the new stadium for the first time, and because it showcases the club's desire to remember its roots even as it moves away from Goodison Park as the permanent home of the first team men's side.
Hill Dickinson Stadium has also lined up a slew of high-class dining options within its walls that will add to the modern footballing experience. The names of the restaurants (Domingo's Bar & Grill, 1878 Bar and Kitchen), like the pubs, connect to Everton's past.
Sure, these experiences are not going to be available to everyone, but they are part of the stadium experiences at newly built venues, so at least it is good to see Everton striving for the best in their introduction.
Maybe it doesn't mean anything, but for supporters that shout, "if you know you're history" at the top of their lungs, it makes sense that the connection is felt, so good on the club for doing so as often as they can.
