The Dock Lines: A fan personalisation legacy scheme at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Intaglio is proud to deliver The Dock Lines, a new fan personalisation feature for Everton Football Club at Hill Dickinson Stadium, following the success of Everton Way.
Set within the original railway tracks that once powered the city’s global shipping trade, this striking 400m² engraved stone installation will house thousands of personalised granite stones, each carrying with the names, stories and memories of Evertonians across generations. Inspired by Archibald Leitch’s iconic truss pattern at Goodison Park, the design connects the Club’s past, present and future in one powerful tribute.
Delivered by Intaglio, the team behind the hugely popular Everton Way, the first phase of The Dock Lines was installed ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season. Remaining stones are available to purchase from evertondocklines.com. The second phase of installation to complete the scheme will be announced in due course.
Intaglio designs and installs bespoke fan personalisation and legacy stone schemes for clubs and stadiums across the UK. See more of our stadium legacy projects here.
The Challenge
Everton Way had already shown what happens when supporters are given a permanent stake in the Club’s history: thousands of stones sold and demand that kept growing long after the first phase went in. With Hill Dickinson Stadium fully open for its first full season, that appetite hadn’t gone away, with fans still looking for the chance to leave their mark on the new ground.
The club needed:
- A new personalisation scheme that stood on its own in a different location.
- A way to meet proven demand from fans at a scale that matched thousands of supporters wanting in.
- A setting within the stadium footprint with a genuine story, not just spare space to fill with stone.
- A design language that tied Hill Dickinson Stadium back to Goodison Park, so that the new scheme felt like a continuation of the Club’s history.
- Delivery of the first phase to a fixed deadline, ready before the 2026/27 season, so supporters could see and buy into their place in the scheme from matchday one.
The Solution
Intaglio’s answer wasn’t to reproduce Everton Way, but to deliver a scheme worthy of the same successful ambition. The original railway tracks, dormant since Bramley-Moore Dock’s coaling days gave the club a location with genuine heritage. Restoring and building into those tracks let The Dock Lines meet supporter demand at scale, whilst grounding the scheme in a thoughtful narrative.
Creating a narrative around the restored railway tracks
The original railway lines, lovingly restored ahead of stadium opening, are the physical setting for the installation, keeping the dock’s working history literally underfoot and providing a framework for the thousands of supporter tributes.
A pattern with meaning
The stone layout takes its cue from Archibald Leitch’s truss design at Goodison Park, so the installation reads as a deliberate bridge between the old ground and the new.
Built to scale, installed in phases
Intaglio delivered Phase 1 ahead of the 2026/27 season, with Phase 2 to follow, purchases running through evertondocklines.com and location confirmations emailed to fans once their stone was installed. The sequencing ensuring the Budweiser Plaza remains fully operational and accessible to supporters.
A stress-free fan journey
A dedicated online platform allowed fans to personalise their tile with a name, dedication or message. Replica keepsakes are also available. Intaglio manages production, installation and supporter fulfilment, ensuring each tile is engraved and positioned accurately.
The Results
Phase 1 of The Dock Lines was delivered ahead of the 2026/27 season, turning supporter demand into a scheme fans could see, visit and be part of from the club’s final pre-season fixture. With stones still available to purchase and Phase 2 to follow, The Dock Lines is proving to be more than a one-off launch, it’s an ongoing legacy that will keep growing alongside the club.
