New Everton Stadium

So are you saying that the Leitch design isn’t a “popular signature”? As in people won’t want it incorporated?

If so, what is your evidence for this? Apart from your own personal dislike of its use?

You have no evidence it is popular and I have no evidence it isn't.

But if that design had been left off this stadium I think we can all pretty much agree that no one would give a flying one.

My take fwiw, is what I posted years ago, (it seems) when the design was first shown. It is futuristic, but Meis has completed the trick to make it so, but also looking like it has been there for ages. If that includes a nod to our past, with a few bricks, *shrugs*. No one will notice them after a few months anyrate.

I think the traditional/futuristic fuse was of necessity for the sake of getting past UNESCO etc. And the traditional was to do with fitting into the dockside warehouse type of setting rather than any tip of the hit to Leitch.

I don’t like the design tbh. I don’t like the roof. The stadium itself is fine, I love the brickwork, I love the patterns and what we are doing with the pump house, but I really dislike the roof as it will look dated within 10 years.…….

I sort of agree. I think the roof is 'nice', looks modern. I think the plan was to draw comparison with Lime Street Station's roof.
Probably the odd barrel design is also taken from Lime Street.

I'd have loved a retractable roof or at least one that covers more, like our main stand or the roof at Old Trafford.

At least it's better than the Tottenham roof that looks like barely covers.

Well, as you’re (as far as I can tell), practically the only person on here who is being negative about it, and I have seen no-one else on any other forum or fan site bitching about it, then I feel safe in my statement that the majority of people would be happy with it or, at worst, neutral about it.

You’re the one who made the claim that he was “dead wrong” to incorporate it. If you have any sort of evidence to back this up as being the consensus among fans, feel free to disclose it here my man.
