New Everton Stadium

I've noticed a few comments commenting on the lack of overhanging stands. But if you think about it, with overhanging stands you wouldn't be able to have corporate boxes. Imagine being in a glass-fronted corporate box with a 35-degree concrete roofline dropping down in front of you, and the increase in corporate boxes is one of the many reasons for the new stadium.

Oh yeah, I've not saying all the way round, or even on every tier. But if you consider a 3 tier mainstand like the 1 we have, the corporate boxes would be between lower and middle tiers, with a smaller over hanging tier similar to the top balcony, to bring the furthest back rows closer to the pitch.

I envisioned the Blue Wave mimicking our current mainstand with 1 end being bigger than the other, with the larger side attaching to the giant single tier home end and then sweeping down towards the smaller south end, which, along with the stand on the opposite touchline, could also have 2 tiers divided by what would be a horse shoe shaped division 3/4s of the way round the ground, for corporate boxes and disabled access areas.

Just my opinion of course.

Think the club are really going to push this ‘Blue Wave’ business for the home end, similar to Dortmund’s Yellow Wall…..
Not sure forcing something like that will work over it being a bit more organic or fan led……
13000 fans quietly grumbling while 0-0 to Burnley (interspersed with occasion shouts of c’mon bluuues, deez are sh**e) isn’t going live up to the image……

As the capacity has been scaled down (and the separation from upper and lower in the stand) it will be nothing like the yellow wall.

I would say the curvature at Spurs home end is more like a wave tbh,

Exactly..... i think it is just 2 more rows than the combined upper and lower Gwladys St. The "super riser" half way up is to help facilitate safe standing in the lower section (allowing seated fans behind to have clear sightlines. Spurs South stand also has a large step up half way up. Possibly slightly less pronounced than ours. The other issue affecting our new home end is the relative height and upturned geometry of the roof, with its separation from the fans. Hopefully the unity of a large(ish) single tier and the cranked corners will overcome some of that, but it's not really the same as Dortmund's Yellow wall.

The whole design now looks very generic imo. Apart from the outside aesthetic it looks more like typical bowl.
