In the eye of the beholder.
My point stands: wtf are we using a reference to a man's work form 130 odd years ago - a man who used to knock that truss out at most grounds he worked on in the era he was working in?
It's 'kin bizzare.
If it were the Tower on the badge I might accept that point. THAT is peculiar to Everton. Criss cross trusses are NOT.It may be Dave, it may have no obvious meaning to many who visit the ground, but tbf it looks quite good, it breaks up the brickwork and gives those that know, ie us, a reference point from where we came. It’s a nice touch, and it looks good. I’m not sure what else we could want…..
You posted a lengthy article a week or so ago on the challenges fans have in adapting to new grounds. If I recall the article was focused on Man City. Little touches like this can surely help the process for someIn the eye of the beholder.

There's something horribly mawkish (and clueless) about some of the *traditions* that surround this club.
This facade is a fail of epic proportions.
Of course, I accept the stadium will be a great leap forward and is an overall success we can all feel pride in. But that face of the building is an embarrassment to me....and the fact that it doesn't even keep its own integrity but is broken up by plain metal panels adds insult to injury.
It's neither here nor there as a statement.
Meis dropped one massive bollock with that.

It is. Frustratingly so.Fair enough, but let’s see when it’s done and built. We can’t change or affect it, it’s a done deal…..

No @Eggs, Dave is quit right. We don't want our brand new stadium being spoiled by a nod to history. What we should have is something bang up to date.…personally, I love the links with days gone by, they weren’t all as miserable as they are now & it’s great future generations of Toffees ‘know their history’.
i reckon in reality you‘re quite giddy about the crisis-cross.
But we was toldView attachment 174148
That's the difference in height 7 feet, if we hadn't been told I doubt we would have notice.
Gwway there was me thinking you would like it.
