Our stadium will 100% be bowl shaped.

I mean, the latest stadium they are building looks like this :

Bowls get a lot of hate, but theres a reason for the design, cost and acoustics.

Meis' tweet suggests otherwise. It's clear they are using Goodison as an inspiration

His tweet talks of energy and history, hyperbole, im telling you now, we will build a bowl.

Bowls are fine, the best stadiums in the world are bowls.

It would have to be one weird bowl...I think that tweet clearly indicates bowl is out of the question with EFC

It currently has a 54k capacity, BUT it has A BIG STAND.

Their new stand is very impressive, but 54k - I don't know where I got low 60's from - takes the capacity bragging rights
out of the equation for those bothered about it.

It really doesnt, but ok, time will prove my viewpoint correct, I can wait.

They had/have plans to increase it further, but from what dem yanks said recently, I suspect it wont be anytime soon.

Yeah who knows really....Moshiris gold fish knows more about the designs than any of us. It will be spectacular in any case.

Its very easy to stick a few archibald like stands and a tower here and there, even in a bowl shape. That Roma stadium has a special ultra stand for example.

Bowls dont have to be soulless, theres so much that can be done internally and externally to make it look special.

For inspiration.

It will be a bowl to utilise the space in my view.

I was having this discussion with a friend of mine and he seemed to think that the stadium will be 60,000+ which triggers a loophole for additional transportation regeneration.

In light of the council adding a new Creative quarter and extended road to the exist position we are building our new stadium.

I think it's all ticking over quietly but purposely.

The suggestions I have heard is that we are looking at a 60,000 capacity stadium with the potential to expand to 70,000 should demand require it in the future.
