New Everton Stadium


You know that twitter pic of him in the top left corner Tommy, well one of those stands you can see on the left the roof looks like a wave shape and it's held up by some kind of mast. I wonder if it might be similar to that


Some larger versions.

The mast & wave part is just a small section and certainly not the whole height. It's kind of hard to tell how it would sit / where. But it's definitely curved from the base up and then the roof curves down just like a wave would.

The face of the wave there is a beam running across, though it's hard to tell from the photo angle, it looks like in between where that roof ends creating the wave face and the beam going across that would be where the Leitch lattice would be.

The lattice like so...

Yeah it's almost like a cut section of the roof isn't it but you can't see how the seating would be underneath it.

Great to see those pics zoomed in though ;)

Edit : good spot as well with the criss cross lattice looking like it almost overhangs on that roof you mention.
 
That video was ace. Proper butterflies when z cars came on. 3 days away from seeing the designs.

If you can’t let yourself get a bit excited this week, there’s no hope for you.

Whatever happens this is what supporting a football club is all about. The hope and the despair and the fact that sometimes they actually deliver on the promises made. This feels far different compared to all the previous relocation failures.

Nothing wrong with being excited about this. Just have to keep one toe grounded until the stadium starts rising around us.

If you look at the piece Dan Meis has in his hand it's clearly a cross section of one of the stands (3 'tiers' by the looks of it) with seats/rows visible, even a couple of stairwell/gangways with some Leitch lattice work on it

Lattice possibly used to connect roof edge to cantilever support
