New Everton Stadium

[Del-boy]

It'll be 5 metres smaller than the Spurs stadium, but still at least 4 metres taller than every other Anfield stand bar the Main Stand which is 48 metres.

Not bigger than their main stand? Not good enough I’m afraid. Knock it down and start again.

Only just over 12 feet, so what.

I thought the point was to get the stadium as compact and as close to the pitch as possible. Surely making it taller defeats the purpose. Who cares how tall it is, that's a nonsense.

I'm giving context: some stands are bigger than ours, some aren't. ?‍

It's 43 metres. That's more than Anfield apart from the ridiculously out of whack one they have. Ours will also be higher than the Emirates by a metre.

Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu is currently just 2 metres taller than our new satdium at 45 metres.

...though that's set to increase to 55 metres after an upgrade.

Taller = steeper gradient?
Closer to the pitch horizontally

Taller and steeper gradient are better for spectators, some of the worst away ends were those who had seats just placed on old terracing.
This could be why the street end often stands and the Park End dosent, its not just because to Park Enders are dull

Is the last row of the stand higher than the last row of top balcony? I know original plans was but doesnt seem as high when standing outside of it.

You're not standing outside of it though (unless you work there), when walking down Goodison road you are right next to the main stand and you get a stiff neck looking up. If you go half way down one of the side streets and look at it then that won't seem as large either.

That is mainly due the upturned roof line, which is raised quite high above the stadium. The 2 new stands at Anfield are significantly larger in terms of capacity/numbers of rows. Similar for Spurs new ground.

I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen you say anything positive about the new stadium.

Strangely, you have been positive many times about what the redsh*te are doing though.

It’s just plain weird.

Bit of a weird one, but for an idea of the height of the stadium it'll be the same height as this: the 'Statue of Lord Murugan' in Malaysia....

No, only if you reduce the leg room.

If you don't, the top seats are just further from the pitch vertically and the same distance away horizontally.
