# Everton’s weight of history: Analysing the Toffees’ debut season at Hill Dicky stadium

- Everton wrapped up their first season at new stadium with 23 home points.
- The 2025/26 home record ranks as the fifth-worst in Everton’s entire history.
- Despite the world-class facilities, the team actually regressed at home.

**Moving from the historic, soul-stirring confines of Goodison Park to a brand-new, state-of-the-art waterfront stadium should have heralded a bright new era for Everton Football Club**.

Instead, the 2025/26 campaign starkly illustrates that a change of scenery does not cure fundamental on-pitch issues.

By finishing the season with just 6 wins, 5 draws, and 8 losses across 19 home games, **Everton** managed a meagre 23 points, averaging a dismal 1.21 points per game (PPG). This disappointing return firmly roots the inaugural season at **Hill Dickinson** among the ten worst home league records in the club’s entire history.

When we place the 2025/26 season under the microscope against **Everton’s** historical low points, several troubling trends emerge.

## Modern trend of Everton’s home vulnerability

As the data from [EFC Statto](https://x.com/EFC_Statto/status/2058855430160273786) illustrates, Everton’s worst-ever home records cluster heavily within the modern era. Out of the ten worst home seasons in club history, four occurred in the last six years alone (2020/21, 2022/23, 2024/25, and 2025/26).

### Everton: Worst home league records in club history (adjusted to 3 points for a win)

| **Season** | **Games** | **Wins** | **Draws** | **Losses** | **Points** | **PPG** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **2022/23** | **19** | **6** | **3** | **10** | **21** | **1.11** |
| **1957/58** | **21** | **5** | **9** | **7** | **24** | **1.14** |
| **2020/21** | **19** | **6** | **4** | **9** | **22** | **1.16** |
| **1929/30** | **21** | **6** | **7** | **8** | **25** | **1.19** |
| **2015/16** | **19** | **6** | **5** | **8** | **23** | **1.21** |
| **2025/26 (New Stadium)** | **19** | **6** | **5** | **8** | **23** | **1.21** |
| **1949/50** | **21** | **6** | **8** | **7** | **26** | **1.24** |
| **1950/51** | **21** | **7** | **5** | **9** | **26** | **1.24** |
| **2024/25 (Goodison Final)** | **19** | **5** | **9** | **5** | **24** | **1.26** |
| **1992/93** | **21** | **7** | **6** | **8** | **27** | **1.29** |

## Shaking the Goodison ghosts at Hill Dickinson

The data highlights an uncomfortable truth: the new ground has inherited the exact same frailties that plagued the final years at Goodison Park. The 2025/26 campaign nests uncomfortably amongst recent, dismal home form:

- **The nadir (2022/23)**: Everton’s worst-ever home return remains the 2022/23 season, where the team suffered 10 home losses and scraped together just 21 points (1.11 PPG).
- **Final season at Goodison (2024/25):** The farewell season at the Grand Old Lady yielded only 24 points at 1.26 PPG.

While fans hoped the stadium move would provide an immediate competitive lift, the 2025/26 metrics actually represent a slight regression in PPG (1.21) compared to the final year at Goodison (1.26). The new stadium may boast world-class facilities, but the squad managed one fewer point than they did during their emotional goodbye to their old home.

## Summary: Stark reminder for the Blues

Ultimately, Everton’s 2025/26 home record proves that bricks, mortar, and stunning architecture do not win football matches.

For the new ground to truly become a fortress, the club must fix the foundational issues on the pitch. Only then can future generations measure Everton seasons against the club’s illustrious highs rather than its historic lows.
