New Everton Stadium

I'm an out of Towner that only ever goes to Goodison, so not really aware of what Bramley Would be like. had a work thing at the Acc. Conference centre, Albert dock area, lovely day, what an incredible area, I can see why the kings dock thing has been a big missed opportunity and this bramley Moore site is going to epic, wow! Looking forward to it even more after today, might take the kids to goodison a few more times though and this time stay near the waterfront rather than heading straight home. Good visit to Everton 2 also crammed in while I was there!
 
That stadiums perfect for me.....maybe steeper sides, but what a stunning ground that would be..

It's visually good with nice use of the Leitch criss crosses. It looks as though the lower tier is overlapped which is a positive. However, that lower tier looks only half the size of the Lower Gwladys Street. Plus three tiers behind the goal, that's an instant no. It's a push getting the songs to travel up to the second tier, but three from such a tiny lower tier is just wrong. Plus third tier on the sides, why doesn't it overlap the second? You're missing out on getting more fans closer to the action.

I've been trying to look for the best Main Stands in Britain that appear to have fans as close as poss to the action. A decent example is Bill Struth's Main Stand at Rangers. If you look at the starting point of the third tier it starts very close to the starting point of tier two. So you have two times the number of fans on the same footprint as you'd normally have one set of fans. I did unfortunately see a sneaky supporting column on tier two!

Visually it needs a modern update but of course keep in those criss crosses, needs more corporate areas etc.

For any mathematicians on here take the touchline, draw a line coming from there of 34 degrees, and the top tier will have to be on that line somewhere, then work backwards adding in your other tiers.

So consider things like how close do you want your highest tier, how many tiers you want, how big you want each tier. You'll find you may have to sacrifice one want for another as both may not be mathematically possible.

You then also have to consider what is possible to do, if you get a design where you get as many fans as possible sharing the same footprint, can it support each engineering wise?

Thats a modified Archibald Leitch stand isn't it? Ironically you've just made a case for staying at Goodison :)

Plans for Everton’s new stadium suggest the club have a 60,000 capacity venue in the pipeline.

According to leaked images, Everton will boost their match day crowds by a whopping 20,000 when they leave Goodison Park, which has a restricted capacity of 40,000.

It had been thought Everton’s new stadium in Bramley Moore Dock would boast a capacity of 50,000 and cost in the region of £300m.

Everton want to keep their club traditions intact if and when they depart Goodison Park

It is understood that Everton's new stadium will have a bigger capacity than Liverpool

But drawings from an official document by stadium designers Buro Happold Engineering, revealed Everton’s plans are much more ambitious than originally thought.

The drawings, which appeared on an Everton fans’ forum this week, reveal the potential look of the waterside stadium, as well as plans for a fan zone plaza to be created on one side of the ground.

The cost of building a bigger stadium will push up construction costs, but the additional capacity would also boost the club’s turnover significantly.

Everton have agreed a redevelopment project at Bramley-Moore dock in Merseyside

Everton will be looking to build a 50,000-plus stadium on the site

Everton generate £18m a year in matchday income, but the new stadium could push that figure beyond £50m.

A 60,000 stadium would also catapult Everton into the upper reaches of Premier League stadia. Only Manchester United’s Old Trafford stadium has a significantly larger capacity than the planned new build.

Arsenal’s Emirates Stadium holds 60,000, while Tottenham’s new stadium will have a capacity of 61,000.

The new stadium would also give Everton local bragging rights, as Liverpool’s Anfield stadium currently holds 54,000 fans.

The architects behind the £300million have immersed themselves in club history

Everton have been situated at Goodison Park for 125 years but leave in the name of progress

Last year Everton acquired land in Bramley Moore Dock for £22m and the club hopes to receive planning permission in 2018.

The leaked plans will bring an additional feel-good factor to Everton fans, with the club outspending every other Premier League club in the transfer window so far.

The Toffees have snapped up centre half Michael Keane for £25m this week, to take their overall investment close to £100m this transfer window as they attempt to break into the Premier League top four.

Other arrivals include Ajax midfielder Davy Klaassen (£23.6m), Sunderland goalkeeper Jordan Pickford (£30m) and Henry Onyekuru (£6.8m), the Eupen striker who was immediately loaned out to another Belgian side Anderlecht.

Holland Under-18 defender Nathangelo Markelo has signed from FC Volendam, while Everton are also in negotiations to sign Malaga's Spain Under-21 striker Sandro Ramirez for a fee of £5.2m and have been linked with a possible move for former player Wayne Rooney.

Buro Happold were contacted for comment.
