As you first arrive through the narrow, brick-terraced streets off County Road, Goodison Park looms above.
A majestic yet anachronistic throwback to the great grounds of the pre-Premier League age, it is football nostalgia, a Grand Old Lady whose very structure still shakes when the crowd gives it reason to.
This is a venue rooted in its community, the pubs, cafes and chippies that form an indelible piece of the experience - a bevvie in the Winslow, a bacon butty in the Goodison Cafe, salt 'n' pepper chicken from the Blue Dragon.
But it's about to be no more.
