Mayor's Bramley Moore Dock Open Letter To Evertonians

They can give an indication - a clear one. I'm not asking for blueprints.

We need some clear idea of what sort of stadium they have in mind using examples from other stadia if need be. They can't just keep people guessing while throwing out broad hints that the stadium won't have the close to the pitch raking grandstands they desire because the facility also has to accommodate an athletics event.

It's just not on to have NO IDEA what the design it is they are realistically going for here.

There should be something to see at this stage.
No there shouldn't.
 
The design needs to be better for sure.
Can you, or anyone else, point to an example where incorporating the possibility of a running track into a design does not compromise achieveing the maximim closeness to the pitch and maximum steepness of stands allowed by regulations?
Personally I cannot reconcile the two and if Meiss does achieve that it seems he'll be the first in the world.

No offence, but they really don't have to tell the fans anything until they are ready to release their actual proposal, design etc.. to the press.

Maybe they haven't actually got any designs and its all ideas. You know ideas.

Why do you believe they owe you or anyone the pleasure of details?

Especially if its all still early....

Judging by the talk (and i agree with the talk if we do a track and look Olympic like that's not on) on the floated idea of a track has gone down they would be fools to simply release every idea plus pictures and some sketches to the public. That would just give people like you more fuel to be negative. Its bad press simple as that.

Be bloody patient. In the last few months the club seems to know what its doing.

When London, or any other place, gets the Olympic games nod, they get 12 years, (I think), to build the sites, do infrastructure and stuff.

Ok, the CWG is smaller scale, but 5 years, or 4 if you believe Joe that after our first season a magic athletics track will appear at the new ground?

Not a chance.

7 years for the Olympics.

5 for a Commonwealth Games is definitely doable.
 

Very disappointing response in general from my fellow Evertonians on this subject. Do any of you actually live in Liverpool or have a life outside Everton FC?
The games would be the biggest and best thing that has happened in this city so we should be behind it 100%.

But our ground might/might not (delete as appropriate) have a running track for literally 2 weeks.

This is far and away the dumbest thread in the last 3-4 years on this site.

You could run a temporary track out one side over the stinking Mersey, swing it back in through a friggin side door and not compromise the stadium. You could put it on the roof, you could suspend it over the entire stadium with virtually anything, even bloody hot air balloons if you'd like. There are a million ways to to do this, none of which are even that difficult. Why hasn't it been done?

Why the heck would it have been? No one has NEEDED to do it. Not because it isn't possible. We could build an elevator to the moon, a building a mile high, etc.

It is amazing that we have so many architects and scientists in here to tell us the limitations of building and physics.

Even worse, demanding to see the designs. What a joke. The designs will be ready for the fans when the club deems them to be ready. We rip them about the terrible PR they've done on other things, yet we demand them to just throw a design out there without considering the PR of it?

Someone even accused them of spending 52M on two players to DISTRACT from an announcement that they were going after the CWGs? Seriously?
 
Dan Meis seems like a nice bloke, and a very talented architect, but he needs to know the following.

Liverpool is f*****g Baltic for 11 and a half months of every year.

Before he sharpens that pencil, he needs to walk down the dock road in November.

Look at the mess in Liverpool one, basically a series of aerodynamic wind tunnels.

It needs to be designed to accommodate the permanent Winter of Murkeyside.
