New Everton Stadium

[Gladystweet]

I've been told on two separate occasions, the objective is to make the new stadium the best club stadium in the country, including Spurs new ground

Any hints on shape etc?

Just watched a Youtube vid of the roof closing and you are indeed right! The 2 roof panels only cover the ends behind the goals. My bad....

The anxiety of a new stadium is killing me. The competitive edge within me is already flapping about getting a good seat, at a good height pretty central behind the goal is driving me crazy. :-(

Selfish, but Im happy where I am and hope the whole thing falls apart

UB? Upper Bullens?

How do you sit behind the centre of the goal if you're in the Bullens?

Tell you what the traffic farce last night in town, them idiots playing at home and all the wools trying to get into town to watch it in the pub, just shows how staying in that area is a bad idea if we want a bigger ground.

He might be a submarine...

Nothing specific, but bare in mind Dan Meis told @ToffeeDoug the history and energy of Everton would be reflected in the final design - that doesn't sound to me like a bowl - perhaps he's going to reintroduce the semi circles behind the goals again lol

Nah, it will be supported by 6 massive escalators and be 60 feet up in the air.

I want a huge one tiered stand behind one of the goals. And I mean huge.

Well I for one am starting to get a wee bit excited.

I asked him about heritage and he answered in more emotional terms about the history and energy of GP, not yet totally convinced he was definitely talking about physical references to GP and our wider heritage. I will ask him again when he is in a biting on a dangler mood!

I liked the 'what's the most atmospheric stadium in England' question.
Is suppose it's called fishing....not catching!

My personal choice, would be a stadium that (internally) acknowledges the football pitch i.e. 4 stands that face the pitch. The usual wrap around seating for bowls doesn't sit right with me. The 'corner' sections can be used for large screens, TV studios, security/police viewing studios and perhaps, more importantly, state of the art viewing areas for 'disabled' supporters.

Externally, the facade of the stadium should be where the aesthetic 'wow' factor is (the real 'wow' should be on the pitch). Views in and out, on the waterfront, it could be amazing.

This on toast.

Everton Football Club is surely worthy of a bigger and better stadium than Newcastle United.

Let's be ambitious - let's have a ground that can match the stadia of the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and West Ham.

No we are not, get real for f's. sake !!
