@davek must have had a belting sleep in his coffin today, sucking blood like Bela Lugosi here.

Would you get this far without it being sorted?

We’ve been pretty much here before. You seem convinced though so any detail would be an interesting read?

My next hope is that we offer much better food n beer to the fans, what is at goodison is just not good enough in this day.

We need to offer a wider food and beer range, especially if they want to keep us in and around the complex.

Its not even better stuff to be honest, it’s just a better environment.

Better beer would be nice but it won’t really affect the amount of people drinking massively. I don’t drink lager as a rule, I drink cask or keg quality beer, but 90% of fans will drink whatever you’ve got, and I include myself in that if I’m drinking at the game.

More food options would be good but again, most people are either in the ‘grab a bite and have a load of pints’ or ‘have a nice meal’ camps. It’s not easy to cater to both, and just a few decent options in a nice environment would help massively.

No reason why it all can't be done either mate

We offer that kind of environment, and all 4 of my clan get season tickets / club memberships.

This part of the match day now is so important.

I was reading that spurs have 20k ppl still in and around the ground 2 hours after the game. Now thats the sweet spot!!

Even just walking round the stadium will be boss, I've always enjoyed the docks me so to have our stadium slap bang on the edge is fine by me.

That area on a weekend in the sun will take the punters in when no game is on.
At least we know now where events such as big screens, mini festivals etc will go.

Honestly, the more you see of this, you will realise there is nothing generic about it, it has Everton all over it, don't actually think the images released today give it the credit it deserves. The existing dock walls, the acoustics, the changing rooms, everything has been done and made to be spot on!!

It'd be hard not to have some form of particularity about it...it is a new stadium, after all. Brick and glass and steel...in that shape. We've seen it before. It doesn't captivate me as much as the location, I'm afraid.

The exception here is thst we didn't have the finance we do now nor the partners.

Looking round the various sports news outlets and it's disappointing to see this news so low, the BBC have us under news of wolves and Rangers FFS.

Not being funny but a new stadium is bigger news than a first round qualifier for the Europa league.

Sky are just as bad.

Daily fail had us top but it's dropped slightly.

Such a beautiful stadium.. I bet this will help lure in top talents.. The future looks bright!

So is this 52k gonna be 51878?

Sounds like guess work to me that.

Hopefully we sort it out properly anyway.

If that leaked image is it then i quite like it but be warned, if i like it 99% of the rest of the forum will hate it.

Its certainly not Iconic though.

Hey maybe I was wrong for once ??????

So, ruling out brick, glass and steel what would you like it building with David?

Sticks and mud sods?

Been on Sky, BBC, ITV, most reporters have tweeted it.

No disappointment at all, it's big news as an Evertonian and that's what matters.
