New Everton Stadium

Always wanted to be a GF, just never had the build, would have had them ballet dancing in the mud

Half hour of Tai Chi in the rain before they start. All good, crack on lads

Can’t fault you

Just knocking about ideas for the screening of the new stadium from that ghastly carbuncle next door.

The club states that there'll be trees planted on the site so maybe an attempt at making an avenue effect will take place on that northern perimeter.

It'd be nice to think Peel have a clause with UU whereby they can dictate borders between theirs and adjoining sites. We need some space over behind that stand, no question IMO.

Rather than try and cover it up we should fully embrace it. The north stand should become The ‘Carbuncle’ end

I disagree. It's something we need to fight to get some definition from.

It's the one part of that location that is an issue.

The less we see of it the better.

I suppose we could install a few wind turbines to block the treatment works Dave. We could even paint them blue and white with a Leitch criss cross design.

You can see here how LFC will have Anfield's border with Stanley Park tree lined after their new stand is moved into place:

I dont know if there's enough room for that at our site on that northern side....or even whether it'd be appropriate (it works for Anfield because of the park setting and ours is more riverside environment) My point is that LFC will be restricted to how much of the park it can encroach on as we have been on our site.

That looks like Bootle Sports Center. No wonder their heads are starting to spin watching our fourth grace go up.

It's a dog's breakfast of a stadium in terms of symmetry.

You can see the temporary tower structure for the roof trusses is in place in the North West corner now.

Ffs, I come in to this thread from some light relief from big oil supercnut and find the his separated at birth brother has taken over this thread. Just K’off the pair of you.

Thanks for those posting pics and vid’s of updates, much appreciated from a world far far away

Hmm! You have more faith about this happening Dave than most, I reckon.

They'll have to have some boundary for security purposes.

Re the boundary with UU behind the north stand:

Here's the published plan from the stadium documents: file:///C:/Downloads/8.%20BMD01-PLA-L1-00-DR-L-4002_BoundaryTreatments.pdf

As you can see, there's a tree lined section at the north-east section of the boundary but then a security fence is all that's planned between the UU access road and the stadium (line S11a).

The concern for me is that a fence is all that will be available, as the distance between the stadium wall / entrance gates behind that stand looks to be about 8 metres in width (gauging that from the scale of the football pitch on that document). That's not much room and, therefore, we'll be left with something completely underwhelming rather than a nice bit of landscaping / tree-lined avenue over on that side of the stadium perimeter.

I do hope the club have got something more up its sleeve than a rubbish fence.

Looks like there will be some trees at the far end. Elsewhere there seems to be a small wall. Doesn't look too bad to me. If they don't use it on matchday then the smell should not be a problem.

The trees are more on the concourse.

A 'perimeter security fence' is underwhelming.

East side, south side and west side of the stadium will look fantastic. The north side will be cramped and uninspired.

I think it being tree lined north passage would add the the aesthetic. Whether they can plant them with the concrete and sand base not sure, but I would think it would make the border look better.

Them trees will last 3 years maximum being that close to the river mark my words.

Salt will kill them.
