New Everton Stadium

It was a suggestion within the design Everton could’ve refused the idea so really the blame if there is any is on Everton and not Meis. And by the way I’ve no issue with it.

Meis thought he was being clever and clearly trying to curry favour with the 'fanbase' to get the gig.

Let's have it right, if there were no such 'truss' design anywhere on this new stadium absolutely no one would give a flying one about it.

That was a conceit of the architect that was whizzed through on the nod of a handful of divvies who are as representative of Evertonians as the Fan Advisory Board.

I think it is a standard type of design for adding structural strength to two beams, triangulate between them. Its really not rocket science.

It's not standard though is it?

I think you might find that the survey results taken before the design was finished showed a very high percentage of people wanting them included in the design.

They were presented with a fait accompli.

Imagine getting this upset about some latticework ???

They possibly added them in beforehand but at the same time you can't throw it back in their faces if it was later validated. A lot of people wanted to take a recognisable part of Goodison to BM and that was the standout point.

Anything and everything.

Yes it is

That's fair enough on a small scale...like Arsenal did with the clock.

However, the new stadium will be almost dominated by a look over the shoulder statement at the past. IMO we should stop emphasising the past and look to the future. Those trusses belonged to Goodison and should have played no part in our new stadium.

Yes it is

The leitch truss is standard that we see on every football stadium?!

It's basic steel erection right across the industry

That's not what I said or alluded to; cross and diagonal bracing are standard structural bracing techniques in all industries. Its basic engineering. You will find it in most or all stadia but it may be hidden rather than made a feature.

Fan Advisory Board wasn't even a thing then, Dave.

2/10. Try harder.

Not in that particular order we see at Goodison?
