Onwards Evertonians
Player Valuation: £8m
West Ham's situation is unique. A more pertinent example would be the distance from the pitch of supporters at The Emirates, a stadium which already looks dated.
New stadia such as Tottenhams are addressing the issue of fan participation much more seriously and I suspect Meis will be doing exactly that on our behalf.
Edit: from Tottenham's official site....
Q: What is the distance of each stand from the pitch? How does this compare with other new stadiums in the UK?
A: The new stadium has been designed to bring fans closer to the pitch that at any other modern stadium in the country. The first row of seats will be less than 8 metres from the touchline all the way around the ground – even closer for our singe-tier ‘home end’ which will be under 6 metres – compared with over 12 metres at the City of Manchester Stadium, over 13 metres at the Emirates Stadium and 18 metres at Wembley National Stadium.
Sometimes by developing later on in the process you can learn from the other stadiums mistakes, KD would've been amazing, but BMD will too thanks to us having access to better technology and having a world class architect at our disposal.
