New Everton Stadium

[Dougie]

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

Thanks for the update

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

I think the look of it competes with the stadium and we could do with some definition there.

Yes. It's a perfectly quiet bit of industrial architecture. Nothing wrong with how it looks.

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.

Yeah I read that and can understand sections within the terracing missing for that reason.

The truss resting points seem to be on each of the corners, yet there is concrete terracing missing on the latest videos on all but one corner if I remember rightly.
Putting the trusses in would then prove difficult in lifting those corner terracing pieces in place.

As I said, I’ll watch with interest how this unfolds as I find it fascinating.

They had installed some of the corner terracing on the north stand last week. Im pretty confident it will be completed this week ahead of the roof truss installation next week.

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.

It is a blight but without that blight it would of been harder to get that plot, nobody else was going to use it, apartments wouldnt work there, they needed something to bridge the gap between that and the plans fot the rest of the docks heading south

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.

Build some more big wind turbines to hide it

You are poking the bear Macca, lol

 

[charlie atkins]

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.

is that where team coaches will go down, looks a bit tight

On both sides the space is wider than a typical road... Looks tight but it isn't

 

[Ruairi77]

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 haven't been to the site so not sure how it looks in person but it doesn't seem that unsightly. Are you just getting put off by the idea that its a waste water treatment plant, would it bother you that much is they were just warehouses? I'd be more concerned if there was actually a smell but visually it doesn't seem too bad, the stadium is in an industrial area.

 

[AsiaAsia82]

The gaps in the terracing are for obstructions to go in, otherwise it just wouldn’t be the same watching the blues and being able to see the whole pitch at once.

 

[Eggs]

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’d be very surprised if such discussions didn’t take place in the very early stages of this process.

This your new angle?


You've tried everything else, may as well get stuck into the neighbours.

Trusses next week now I've just been informed

Thought she stepped down a few weeks back?
