New Everton Stadium Discussion

[CJR]

My suspicion is that it will be transport related. Maybe a tram system along the dock road.

Be great if it is true but I imagine we would not see this in operation for at least another 5 years or so? Who pays for it, who operates it etc?

Rotherham suggested when it was first mooted a while back it was government money...potentially the same again maybe.

These are estimates but it's about

13k South Stand
10,700 North Stand
12,500 East Stand
12,000 West Stand

That's what I managed to count (48,200) so I know I was out by 4k which I'm assuming would have been in the East & West and box seats/corporate

This is how it's actually been broken down though (these numbers are accurate)

43,880 will be normal seats
5,334 will be premium seats
448 will be Box seats
2,968 away seating (Northwest lower tier)
258 seats for directors, media and non officials

Hopefully less tickets for the reds, as their stadium gets larger our allocation gets smaller seemingly year on year

I think this season was due to their new stand being utterly crap and unfinished.

Though I do know what you mean, they always seem to find a way to provide a reduced allocation.

What are the chances of safe standing ever happening? Can it easily be vetoed?

They could have a ferry Dock there. Would be decent to get the ferry along the Mersey to go to the match

And line up the kopites one by one

Would be unbelievably iconic, but probably H&S nightmare for a crowd of inebriated fans from two sides on a ferry together

Any news on the gay atheist and his muslim girlfriend who hates houses of worship?

I was in London with mini S late summer and as we walked over Westminster bridge, a boat went beneath us packed with spuds fans on their way to a game (Fulham??) so it could be done. They were having a great time and it was ace to watch

A quicker and cheaper solution might be the previous Lime Line proposals. Trackless trams are being pioneered around the world. They require a fraction of the infrastructure/capital investment and can offer all the benefits of traditional trams. Could be a real game-changer for the transport planning of BMD to give better connectivity with the city centre. The key for any system is good route segregation. A tram only Dock Rd might provide that..... simultaneously linking all waterfront schemes from Liverpool Waters and Ten Street developments in the North across the city centre frontage at the Pier Head, Albert Dock/Arena, Baltic-Triangle and Marinas in the South.... linking Sandhills to Brunswick Dock.

A canal boat, or similar sized craft, would be able to reach Bramley Moore from the Albert Dock end via the canal link. Fully expect someone to put on a water taxi of some sort on match days.

Sorry to be ignorant of those proposals. As well as along the dock front it links to Lime Street and other places ?

Wow, the AV equipment seems to be going in early - I'm guessing the panels are for the north stand screen? I wouldn't fancy building a roof with the world's most expensive TV underneath it.

 

[Milkman]

I still can't quite believe this is actually being built. Never thought we'd see the day.
