New Everton Stadium


did you not see the report about rising tides due to global warning? Our nice new stadium could become a massive swimming pool
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/business/news/article.cfm?c_id=3&objectid=11847022 only a concept, but wouldn't be surprised if we had a sunken or partially sunken stadium. They said in the video that the cost can be reduced with it being built this way and as there is already a big unfilled dock it may make sense.

Interesting but surely part of the appeal to the dock location is to build a stadium that will become part of the iconic skyline which can't be achieved if it is largely sunken
 
Right are you all ready for this.....



I've been to Goodison today to change my seats. We needed to go in and have a look at the new seats as they were in a different stand.

So.....

Spoke with a few members of staff and I was asking them what they knew about the new stadium. They said the club have had a big meeting with all staff to tell them what's going on....

They couldn't really tell me that much as it was confidential but they did say.....

THERE WILL BE NO RUNNING TRACK 100%

It's not part of anything thats being looked at....let me say it again.

THERE WILL BE NO RUNNING TRACK 100% CONFIRMED BY THE CLUB.

also said the design isn't total done as they still don't know what the capacity will be. But it's going to be bigger than they 1st looked at.

Exciting time ahead. And can we put the running track to bed.

All sounds good but it's not actually confirmed by the club mate, a steward who was told to keep his mouth shut told you. It's hardly an official announcement. Even so if it's true it's very exciting times
 
Bit worried that Meis designs stadiums on a budget.

They look great on the graphics etc but they seem to have open gaps in the corners, tiny roofs and lack more of large internal structure top modern stadiums posses.
 

Depends what the client requests , surely?

That's true but if that's the case why didn't we go for populous?

Meis is good at what he does but he's not one of the best in the world at what he does which has been touted on here.

Take my blue specs off and unleash the scepticism, from a neutral perspective it would appear his style was chosen as it would allow us to build a stadium for half the cost of others, which would mean it would have half the facilities and infrastructure.

Yeah, but what are your new seats like........

Not getting at your opinion here but which infrastructure/ facilities do you fear we will skimp on?
