New Everton Stadium

I think we all agree we should have the 4 stands correct? Not the oval bowl design?

hahaha should have said for me 100%, to me the atmosphere just isn't the same in Oval Bowl stadia, also looks horrible.

Fully agree. I think BK realises that as well and has that in mind going by the previous Kirkby design.

Stadium architects love the oval for all sorts of practical reasons but there is a way to get the benefits of an oval access external area with four fully joined but distinct 'stands' internally if you can be bothered spending the money. However, a good oval is arguably better than a bad super-shed and vice versa. Quality is what really matters.

Why? Everyone seems to be getting so hung up on this image/iconic business. GP is only iconic now as the new stadia crop up and the old girl looks like a quaint relic. I very much doubt when it was built the word 'iconic' was at the forefront.

Lets just build a good looking, recognisable, functional, well equipped and appointed stadium with good access, good boozing and good corporate boxes. The rest is sentimental tosh.

you've dismissed the term iconic but included good looking and recognisable in your response.

Go figure

For me it needs to be an unobstructed view of a regulation size football pitch. Oh and 70 or 80 prawn sandwich stalls or corporate boxes.

You'd have loved Kirkby

Yes and no, Spurs have got the inside right imo, Without knowing the proximity to the pitch.

Their stadium looks amazing in the plans

There's nothing wrong with an oval stadium if the design is right e.g. Wembley

But when it's done badly (or on the cheap) e.g. The stadium of light or the riverside, then they're gash.

Previous Kirkby design was very cheap and nasty, design and build job by Barr Construction. A concrete jungle it would have been.

Are we ?

i dont want any kind of squared off job like Ibrox or the Kirkby Shed.

I want it enclosed, smooth & flowing like Juve or Bayern, Lille would have been so much better if it was closer to the action.

for me Juventus & Bayern have set a benchmark with theirs although theres no reason why the ends cant be all 1 without any corporate interuptions.

That's what you can do for £100m

You could not build that here for 100 mill. Also I do not think that on any of the sites suggested there is enough room for that, pity like.

Always thought we should keep the same tier structure as goodison just a bit bigger, and wrap the outside in a modern facia . Have the best of both worlds

Including all the restricted views.
