New Everton Stadium

[BNJ1878]

Will the Everton club store outside the ground close and move inside the new stadium once it is built. If so will it be much bigger, as it needs to be as the other 2 stores are not big enough.

I expect it will be assigned as a new space for EitC.

No point keeping a club shop in Walton.

Trusses next week now I've just been informed

I believe there will be a two storey club shop within the east stand.

Is there any plans for behind the North Stand...that is, widening the access to it by coming to an agreement with United Utilities and / or providing a perimeter to it so their unsightly wastewater treatment works doesn't have to be seen?

I can pretty much guarantee that United Utilities won’t give up any of their own operational land there.

If a wall is being built, Everton will have to pay for it.

Can't we get the Mexicans to pay?

That place was always going to be a blight. There's little chance of them leaving any time soon either.

I cant atm get access to the plans for the stadium perimeter and what the club plan to do about that in terms of landscaping. I think I remember a tree lined border between the two sites.

A tree lined border would be good.

As you say, UU won’t be leaving that site. It is a brand new treatment works that they spent £160m on.

I would have thought all the concrete terracing would be in before trusses so they don’t hinder the cranes - but I know diddly squat about building football stadiums so I’ll wait with interest how it all works.

The access road UU have on their side looks very spacy. I'm hoping sense will prevail and the council can persuade them to compromise on that side of our new stadium.

What we dont want are tv cameras covering that 'kin place cheek by jowl with the stadium.

I work closely with UU. They won’t give up operational land there.

Not that I’ve heard of, I work for the company and know people that are based at Sandon Dock. I don’t know how you’d go about hiding a wastewater treatment plant that’s more or less all indoors already anyway.

I don't think the plant is as such unsightly it is more to do with what we know it is.

Resisted the urge to visit up to now, but seriously thinking of calling in in the next week or so. Could drive there in about 25 mins, but would rather get the train in and have a pint in the Bramley Moore. ?

Definitely worth a visit, even if just to be told "Stay on the other side of the road!".
The viewing platform wasn't open when we went, about six weeks ago, I don't know if any of the others who have been have more info on when that is open?

Pretty sure some gaps in the terracing are essential for props/support to emerge through and up to the trusses until they support themselves?

Engineer types will be able to explain it, but they need more than a few bolts at the bac of the stand to hold them up at the early stages.
