New Everton Stadium

[Lmc2016]

Not made my way though it all but the docs showing the Walton Hall Park alternative was interesting.

Just looking at that now, some interesting designs there, the canopy scheme definitely being the weirdest, would of gave us one of the most interesting looking stadiums in the world but also one of the worst looking at the same time. Makes you think though how much money did the club spunk on paying for designs like that.

Made up the club never pursued the WHP route, would of pretty much gave up on them if they had

Would love to see all the design ideas for all the options we had. I'm very happy design wise with what we are going for though.

They've added floor plans which puts to bed my initial fear of not enough concessions.

Ground floor has concessions which are shared with other stands as does floor one which also has those central type bars in the middle of the concourse which is cool.

Also, west stand has another concourse on floor 2.

Hospitality areas are massive and have outdoor terraces facing the Mersey.

Presume this appointment of contractor pretty much negates any concerns over how it's being financed?

I stopped worrying about that the day we announced we got 30 million for an option to buy the stadium naming rights.

I can only imagine the 3 away dressing rooms are to cover all eventualities. There will be different standards and requirements for League, European and International football

Makes it easier to hold large gigs. The Aviva in Ireland technically has 4 changing rooms.

You obviously don’t frequent the current affairs forum

I do not Brisan, do not wish to get mixed up with politics, world affairs etc.

Interesting sequence of events whether there is anything in it, who knows,

30 mill upfront naming rights
Megafon tower appears at GP
Shirt sponsorship to end at season close,
Building contractor named,
Funding to be clarified when PP given,

Something gong on.

Great find, so that's 52,630 paying punters per game.

Is that less away fans than now despite stadium increasing by 12k?

I think its around the same mate. Sure its about 2,600 currently. I'll check

Edit - apparently we offer just over 3k for Goodison, or 1,700 for smaller allocations and that happens a lot. So hopefully that would be another 1k on general sale for a few games

Hi mate what heading are these designs under.

This stadium is going to change so much for us. I feel like when we can actually see it being constructed our anxiety as a fanbase will decrease.

We’ve been close on a few occasions over the last 20-odd years of having decent teams but we’ve always lacked that extra something to push us on (mostly money). Then we’ve always had the issue of knowing we need a new stadium to really progress and sustain a position at the top end of the table. I feel Goodison has been a stone around our necks, weighing us down.

I’m not saying this stadium will catapult us straight back to winning league titles but what it will do is put us on an even keel with our rivals. No longer will we be handicapped by a inadequate stadium.
