New Everton Stadium

[Moderatelywarmwater]

But surely part of the docks built on already was listed and has been lost forever? The dock has to be made good again if the club leaves the location IIRC?

The club can surely conserve them and put them back at a much later time?

It seems daft to build a stadium then have it unseen behind a wall.

I cant believe we've fallen for that.

It’s the same reason that you keep your frank and beans in your underpants.

It allows visitors to have delayed amazement/horror (delete as appropriate) which is more satisfying. Well provided they’ve brought a magnifying glass anyway.

Closer. That reminds me more of the museum though.

This is actually a very good point. It's the same concept isn't it. Meis has basically walked along the river and ripped off the first slightly unusual building he's seen. Pathetic.

Doesn't matter what it's going to look like really.
It'll never be built apparently.

At this moment it looks like it will stay as a dock with apartment blocks around it.

Isn't past of Peels project for the area ?

But what about all that buying the dock, filling it in, putting structures up in all four corners, putting stand metal work up plus those four new gigantic cranes, establishing a multi-storey section for workers and filling the place full of equipment and material. Was this all just a bit of banter….

Yep it's Peels, Nelson wasn't supposed to be looked at for years but as soon as the stadium is up they are going to get on with it pretty quickly. All those apartments to sell and think of the bars and restaurants they can build on the ground floor to make a load of cash from.

Not the best pictures but you can see the sort of building around the dock...

Wikipedia still says it's a wet dock so you have to assume it is just a few cardboard cutouts placed there to make it look like some work is being done.

Explains a lot….

The wind has changed direction now on that one, it’s all about finding reasons to slag the build off now and find potential cataclysmic hazards in and around the build and site.

Yeah as you can see in the picture they've demolished the stadium and reverted it back to a dock. Well after the 500th supporter was chopped up they couldn't let it continue and it was more trouble removing the turbines than the stadium (said lib dem councillor Richard Kemp).

Drones and helicopters can breath a sigh of relief……

Only the tower and retaining walls are listed.

The dock itself kind of fell under the whole mercantile city heritage thing.

The wall isn't that big! It will be part of the appeal when done.

Absolutely ridiculous. Paying £500M down there and stimulating about a billion quid of regeneration and we have to hide the stadium away.

Waterfront view of imposing new stadium

.....round the back of Uttoxeter Leisure Centre.

Gonna say it again. I really don't like the open look at the back of the stands. I think it makes the stadium look smaller and less imposing. I hope it's something that can be changed in the future.

Reminds me of the Aviva stadium. It just looks like a half empty vessel.
