New Everton Stadium

[PhilM]

….the Boys Pen was a caged area in the back right hand corner of the Gwladys St terracing if you look from the pitch.

if I remember rightly, The Paddock was the terracing in front of the Bullens Road Stand.

The front section of the Bullens is still called the Paddock. It’s where many older Street Enders go when they prefer to sit rather than stand.

And the wall.

What's the point in building a stadium if nobody can see it behind that bloody massive wall?

Oh god yeah, and the wall!!!

It would be a shame for the welcoming the bus scenes to disappear after the stadium move. Fairly unique to us being one of the few stadiums in a residential area. My Arsenal supporting mate said this was very much part of the match day experience at Highbury which then disappeared when they moved to the Emirates

The RS know how ( not ) to welcome a bus.
Ask the city players

As per Eggs previous description - The level of security caging and the potential danger from the 'inmates' made Guantanamo Bay seem quite tame!

Went in there once and once only - made Lord of the Flies seem like a scene in The Railway Children, evil place ?!

And the deadly windmills…

No I retired
Bought a house , done some work to it , got bored and went back to work ( which I swore I would never do )
New job doesn’t leave a lot of time for the forum.

Drone guys couldn't get the drones up this morning because of the wind. Hopefully they'll be able to this evening.

…amazes me how the crane driver can drop those massive concrete slabs so easily into position, the lads on the ground need to keep their fingers out the way. How clever it all is, Co-ordinating the effort.

To my untrained eye, there doesn’t appear to be much waiting around for materials, so methodical.

It’s simply wonderful.

Yep, like you say mate you need to see it to believe it

Going with a few mates one afternoon next week. Really looking forward to it! Having a pint or two in the Bramley Moore.
