New Everton Stadium

[TheCount]

Meis interview:

You've spoken in the past how the cost of stadiums could become prohibitive due to the demands and expectations of owners – was that applicable here?

“No, I don't think so because from the very beginning this owner, and through and through from the club, they didn't talk about revenue and why this was important.
“What I tend to get with a lot of projects is....where the revenue is going to come from. “But in this case, because we weren't being driven by a revenue model, we were being driven by an experience model".

Bizarre answer for a club that's pinning its hopes on a stadium-led recovery.

I think it'll grate with those who wanted a 60K build.

And those people would have been right.

However, the stadium led recovery idea of 10/15 years ago wouldn't work now. Match day revenue just doesn't touch the sides.

The stadium is still key but it's more like a flagship store for a brand.

Which is why you're bang on the money highlighting the location. It is iconic.

My heart still skips a beat every time i see it. Gonna break thousands of hearts when the day comes but come it must.

Potentially we have around 80 games left at Goodison! Lets make the bleedin most of everyone of them.

 

[GwladysBlue]

We should embrace every game at Goodison now knowing were are nearer the end,I know i will.

Going to be heartbreaking.

I’m just praying we get at least one trophy in before we leave.

Oh Davey, no one there has talked about a stadium-led recovery, nor are their hopes pinned to that. Its merely something you invented in your own mind, as you cant fathom the team can do well financially, and you are your lone authority.

Does anyone know if they spoke about the sewage works smell and what will be done about it?

Unless they enclose the red shed in a recycled plastic airtight bubble I am afraid we will have to put up with it

 

[ToffeeDan]

Lovely


And definitely going to hack Kopites off so even better

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.

I am working over seas just now and “Alexa what’s the sports news “ starts with the Everton stadium pictures and story
Happy

I love the design. Close to the pitch seating and all that. The one thing I would like to see is a permanent home for the Everton Collection.

Don’t you dare misgender him, but that’s @Joey66

There's a vacancy to look after the sewerage plant -
I've got!interested you for that job - negotiation is ongoing they've offered a time and a turd for extra hours.......

lol lol lol lol lol
Oh it seems like this is hurting you so much Dave.

Maybe the plant hasn't needed to do anything up to now because of the lack of neighbours. You have to hope this will be addressed once we're there.

 

[ncblue]

Love these early sketches.

 

[IV(AC)]

Love it
Can’t wait to be sitting in it

 

[collymcd]

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.

Don't be afraid Dave.

 

[WA Toffee]

So, the big end with Everton written on it, what is the minimum price the club will accept to have the sponsors name up instead?
