New Everton Stadium

[Big Neville Southall]

Heard a few whispers the away end will be at least partly behind the goal. While I think they are right that it would add to the atmosphere I wouldn't want it unless it's replicated at all PL grounds.

Thanks Mick, possibly sweeping around from the corner then I wonder? Cup games going further into the End perhaps?

I know some of the decision on where to have the away end is based on the safety aspect on away fans entering the stadium, to ensure there isn't a great deal of mixing between fans.

So Everton will have limited options on where to put them, but there still will be options, eg, if it has to be the SW corner, then they could do it as SW side stand leading to the corner, or the corner sweeping to the sides.

give the away fans good seats until any of the top 6 come then shove them as far away up in the gods as possible.

You can't put your own fans up in the gods....we will be top six by then.

I think the safe standing home end is a must

individual iconic stands it seems to talk about but also talks about one roof.

Main Stand will be in the west as is traditional surely.

I don't think it matters as much in large modern stadia, as the low winter sun that can blind players is usually blocked out by higher grandstands.

The one thing that still doesn't make sense to me are the dimensions of the site. We've seen images of a north-south orientation, but I can't see how a large stadia can fit into BM on a north south basis and still allow access and egress to the western side of the ground.

Just make sure the home end is not looking directly into the sun like the Gladys st is. Bloody nightmare.

It does mention future-proofing but yeah this end must be ready for that eventuality you'd think.

Having it in the west also allows for the best (most corporate) stand to have the prime location wrt the river. Will be a tight fit though.

Only rumours I've heard I don't have any inside track. I'm sure there's some on here who know much more.

It'll probably never happen again but the old days of away ends was great but then football was very different then!

To hell with the away fans,put them in the corner facing the wall

That'll be sound, something we've never had before. Also doesn't mean the stands won't be individual.

My Everton's gone tbh, I'll still give it a fight to get it back though.

I would read it as the opposite. From the corporate lounges, bars and concourses underneath the stand there will be views of the city. If it meant that these areas were on view from the seats in the stand, the opposite stand would be tiny.

Didn’t think of it like that, still suggests an east west pitch though

Instead of monorail can we have the overhead railway back!

...I think I will put, ‘provide a very good football team’.

They want you you provide ideas for possible improvements not miracles
