They changed it.

Would definitely want to QS on that project, even if just to shout things at Elstone.

Can I come in as you're assistant then?

Rainham Steel, originally from Essex (founded by Mr Wm Ives, a lifelong Spurs supporter if I remember correctly) are now based at Scunthorpe to be located close to the British Steel mill which produces Beams and Columns (H and I shapes - think of girders) which is their main product range.

Depending on the actual design, Rainham Steel would almost certainly be looking to supply to any stadia work being fabricated in the UK.

But, whoever eventually supplies any steel will be greatly influenced by the actual design the structural engineers come up with.
There's lots of ways to achieve the same end results structurally and not all steel companies produce all steel products.

Large spans using tubular trusses (like LFC recent work) have been popular recently because you can suspend the roof below the exposed truss which is then out of sight from the spectators, and low maintenence compared to trusses made from steel beams, angles etc .

Think of all the exposed steelwork visible from aerial shots of Old Trafford - it's all tubes, no beams or columns like Rainham Steel supply.

Rainham wouldn't expect to get much work from that type of design. But think of Sunderland where the roof cladding is above the structure,
that would suit what they stock and what British Steel / Tata made/make at Scunthorpe.

Rainhams best chance is if the terracing is constructed from steel (like the Olympic Stadium), and not precast concrete like the terracing at Tottenhams new ground.

Or they could buy from TATA in Deeside North Wales, both the cladding and steel decking ( what holds the concrete up )are manufactured in Deeside there only 45 minutes away?

Get it there on the river.

Basically, if it's designed by Miess - it's going to have a huge version of the tower built into it.

I would expect it to be much more subtle than that.

Why? It has absolutely nothing to do with any ground Everton have ever played at. If he's planning something in keeping with the traditions of Goodison the things that spring to mind are the Leitch latticework, multi-tiers and proximity to the pitch.

'Iconic' is going to be the most apt description of our new stadium.

It will become an iconic building, let alone stadium in its own right. It will provide the city and the club the sort of identity the Sydney Opera House provides Sydney.

The Tower is on our badge and our club shop has been designed like it..


My comment was a bit tongue in cheek to be honest.

But lads, he's getting the Roma players to enter the pitch off a lift - just like the Romans did with the gladiators -

I've been thinking about the latticework. As iconic as it is, and as much as I love it, would it suit a modern stadium?
Obviously it will have a modern take on it but I just can't see how it would fit in.
Saying that, there's more artistic brains than mine on the case so I'll have to wait and see..would love some brickwork though.

I know what you mean. I doubt it would simply be transposed across as it would be prime (electronic) ad space in a new stadium. One for Dan to solve

Yeah it just suits Goodison. One of the first things I noticed on my first visit and still visualise it when Goodison is mentioned.
I like the fact that Dan Meis has given us some clues to the design.
Gives me a good feeling that we're not just going to get a stock/soulless stadium.

or knowing us, it'll end up looking like that car Homer designed for his brother
