New Everton Stadium

[Yarrgh]

Fair does then, never knew that.

I don't think we ever owned the pit, which is key to us not being able to raise it to the ground and halt the consequences....

Just completed the survey and suggested a minimum of 55,000.

Behind the goals is pretty much on the pitch. If you look at what you have quoted there, it shows a walkway, but when you get to the north/south stands the walkway is thin and you can see Seats in that area.

Possibly more wheelchair accessbility areas along the sides? Would be enough room for a chair and then space for people to walk past.

It does look that way as you highlighted, but then it begs the question why the side stands don't follow the same proximity so all 4 stands are literally on the pitch.

May be perceived a little negative, but it seems counter-productive why its only 2 stands in this manner.

Just seen the edit: could be accessibility seating

Thanks for that

Correct, but our first official ground out the park was just out of Stanley Park, on Priory Road roughly where the petrol station is. Played there for a few years and built stands there, think our first ever FA Cup fixture was played there, then we moved to Anfield and you know the rest.

Did we build anfield ?

yeah so in the behind the goal ends there is hgiher up disabled seating, maybe allows for some front of stand seating.

Could be nonsense.

We built it and called it home from 1884 to 1892

I was having a read of other club forums to see how they liked the new stadium and this post on the Wolves’ forum is interesting.

From the poster ‘Professional’

I’m involved in it on the finance side. It’s going to be a spectacular ground- hopefully bringing them closer to the ****ty red half of the city.

The capacity just feels like where going 2 strps forward and 1 step back all over again. By the time its finished 6 teams will already have bigger grounds, maybe even 8 if Chelsea and Wolves press ahead with there plans, the sh!te will probably be beyond 60k by then with there Angield road plans.

Just hope that the 62k figure there quoting in regards to expansion, is actual designed extension of tiers or added tiers.. as safe standing won't go anywhere near that figure.

It isn't about having the biggest capacity though. It's about having an affordable modern stadium with excellent facilities in a good location not far from our spiritual home. BMD seems to tick those boxes well enough.

Proper club Wolves, them and Villa. Plenty of great history and on the up but haven't gone insane like Watford fans did last year.

I have a slight niggle myself.....

I remember going to Spur early 90's my 1st ever visit there. We where 2-1 up and they scored 2 very late goals, Everton style. Barmby won it for them in the 92 min. Anyhoo i remember being in the away stand and looking over at their home end. I remember the big gap from the top of there stand to were the roof met. I always though it looked half done and very poor. Never liked WHL because of that.

SO...... the end opposite the big home end at BMD looks a little like that. Don't like the distance between the last row of seats and the roof starts. And to me if we round it up to the two stand next to it we could get a few more thousand seats in. Like we all want....

Its petty really and i love the stadium so much. UTFT

Yep - I know what you mean. It has been eating at me a little the more I look at it as we are used to there not being space between the stand and roof.

I’m holding on to the idea that these could be the expanded sections should we want to increase capacity.

I dunno. The rest of it is perfect.

Could be for the accoustics some people have gone on about.

Or engineering reasons as the space is strict and cannot be over hang etc.

Well there were three small wooden stands up when we departed for Mere Green in 1892.

I think that's exactly what it is, space at the back of that stand looks massively limited. Compared to the original renders though where it looked absolutely tiny I can well put up with the design shown yesterday.

Maybe in time though they could add a few thousand seats and have the stand overhanging.
