New Everton Stadium

[The binman chronicles]

This is an interesting view from the wastewater works, worth a follow as he is posting almost every day:

Thanks for sharing. He should have some great videos over the build from that spot

 

[Dddddd]

up to now, the only person complaining about the pattern in the brickwork....is you, funny that innit.

He’s a troll. I’ve just got the soft **** on ignore.

 

[Bluestar]

Even with the brickwork though: why on earth retain some backward half-arsed glance to the past with lattice brickwork?

It's 'kin daft beyond belief.

I think there's a real disconnect between what that club thinks it is that fans want (constant looking back over our shoulder to Goodison and the club's past achievements) and the reality of what we all actually want: a break from the past and a forging ahead into the 21st century. They presumed an awful lot with that choice of brickwork pattern.

The maudlin preoccupation with the past weighs like a dead hand on Everton. Just leave it where it belongs - in the history books not in our present.

Horse and bolted spring to mind.

How many points does an aesthetically pleasing rear exterior for the new ground get you each season?

Hopefully 40.

 

[malfosse]

Pretty sure most will disagree with you....

You have rubbished this project at every single stage. Every.single.stage. whined and moaned constantly.

Steep enough for everyone?

No, I haven't. I've doubted that it would ever get done. That's a different matter. And given Everton's record on delivering a stadium i was wise to be cautious.

As far as the actual stadium is concerned I have consistently said it will be iconic and that is because of the location.

That doesn't, though, hinder criticism of the design or the capacity.

 

[davek]

So basically you were moaning that it wouldn’t get built. Now that’s been disproven you’re moaning at the design (which has been there for about 3 years and you could have moaned about that all this time as well - you missed a trick there).
If it looks ok when it’s built and regenerates the whole area (not that you go the match to view it yourself), what will you moan at next? Have a good long think about it and start that moaning process now as I’m sure we’re all dying to get a heads up on that one.


You’re fkin mad you know.

What would have been the point of continually moaning about its design (and I actually registered my dispproval of it years ago, btw) if I thought it wouldn't see the light of day?

I'm sorry if you or others find criticism of a design unpalatable, but I dont think the thread is merely to cheer lead the project is it?

No, I'd put them in a museum where they belong.

How about the museum / visitor centre at Bramley-Moore Dock?

God bless.

Maybe it would be more acceptable to Save it as changed the name altogether, Bramley Murdock here we come.

"Pie in the sky stadium. Will never be built"

*Everton starts builing the stadium*

"Well................It's not very good, is it?"

Jesus Wept!!

 

[Davideeyore]

Definitely an overhang... But not much

Even so, it is an overhang I didn't expect this. For me anyway it such a small detail makes a big difference. It makes it more of a Goodison feel.
Take a look how it is at Celtic Park.

Just to add those electronic screens on the over hang, could easily show something like this below.

 

[Jimishorts]

The sun will hit the glass in such a way as to create a magnifying effect which will result in many being permanently blinded in the first few rows of the North Stand

I believe they’re copying the design from a hotel in Vegas.

The 'death ray hotel' burning Las Vegas visitors came up with a simple fix

The Vdara hotel in Las Vegas has a serious design flaw: It's highly reflective glass creates a "death ray" on the pool area.

I actually don’t disagree with @davek - the location makes it iconic, not the stadium.

Although it’s a nice stadium and I’m sure it’ll be boss, you can put Nou Camp, or Allianz Arena, or San Siro anywhere in the world and they would be iconic.

If you put our stadium somewhere else, it wouldn’t be iconic.
