Just watching that video mate and I reckon there's still another 8-10 rows worth of concrete to be put on that East Stand. Also on the South Stand where the space divider is (which will separate the rail seating lower from normal seating upper) only 1 row of the lower section has been done, so there's still another 26 rows of concrete to be added. It's gonna look waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger than what we currently see.

Can anyone tell me the distance, or have the most up to date images that show the gap, between the last row of the South Stand and the roof by any chance?

I wonder if the reduction in the South Stand and therefore the freeing up of horizontal space has made way for more rows to be added to the North Stand?
Don't think so mate as Nirth stand lower is 30 rows, same as the East and West Lower. The Upper is 16 rows and that's due to no more space and the glass window.
mate, so sorry was no on over the weekend. But great work on estimating the seats for each stand!.
Still no closer to understand where we will be moved too. Son keeps asking weekly!

Anfield will not be able to hold a candle to it when completed.

I wonder if we'll be able to move around within the concourse during ht/before the game. Be nice to go in, get a drink with people in other parts of the ground. This is possible in some places as long as you're on the same level (away section aside)
This could be a big earner for the club as people will go in the ground earlier and spend more

You're gonna need a dark room soon mate, lol.
It's freaking awesome though.
Now, can you just confirm pitch will fit and the wind turbines are safe, then your work here is done... oh and the wall...... mustn't forget the wall....???
I'm sure they will try and raze it to the ground, even if it is using candles, utter melts...

That's true - never thought of that but you could do that at Wembley when I went to a gig there, we walked about halfway round the lower tier to find quieter bar queues. Hopefully having better beer and food alongside smaller queues will also encourage people to spend more time in there. Also having some proper toilets not a sweat box with a trough in it will make it all more appealing too

The reduction of 6 to 8 rows could be around 1500, reducing the capacity to just over 50k, we would have heard something if they were to reduced to that amount so I wonder where they reallocated those 1500 seats?
No matter which way I rotate the pitch, the damn thing just won't fit mate. Hockey pitch yes, football pitch no.
I've also noticed the wind turbine behind the North Stand is on a slight angle. By my calculations, the angle of the wind turbine will be similar to the leaning tower of Pisa and the North West Stand corner will actually have to be built around the wind turbine. Unfortunately that does mean we'll have more severe restricted views at BMD than we've ever had at Goodison Park.

Just catching up on this thread so apologies if this has already been covered or linked. In terms of the roof, other than the removal of the slight incline from North to South, I understand the roof design remains the same as the original planning submission. You can read the detail in Part 4 of the Design & Access Statement but as I can't work out how to link from my phone I've taken some screen shots. Hope you can read the detail on the attached pics.
Inner roof is polycarbonate. Main roof is standing seam aluminium. Barrel roof is perforated aluminium. Only the polycarbonate and standing seam aluminium sections provide protection from the rain with the gutter then separating the perforated barrel section from the main roof. The barrel section isn't close to the seats though.
any help?
Definitely no reduction in any areas mate. That North stand was always going to be quite a small upper tier due to lack of space.
52,888 is what they've said and that's what it'll be for starters. I'm assuming the only way it ever gets closer to 60k is if the standing ratio increased and the North stand lower and South Stand Lower section become standing.
Whenever I look at the plans, it definitely looks to me like the East and West Upper tiers could have been made bigger as the footprint of those stands is huge.
Also on another note, if someone here has a family member/friend who they take to Goodison and they use a wheelchair, could you reply to this message as I have a question I'd like to ask. Apparently at Goodison there is access for 216 wheelchair users (I'm assuming this number increased with the new upper section they built in the Park End?). On thennew stadium plans I could only count access for 181 wheelchair users which I thought quite strange as it's a larger capacity. So my question is. The seat next to where a wheelchair can be placed for the relative/friend to sit, do Everton ( or football clubs in general) actually count that as one of the 216 seats available?
On the plans it looks like we've got a fair few access points yet surely it would be really disappointing if there was less access than Goodison offers.
