New Everton Stadium

[Dixieslaces]

As someone who has been to Inverness Caledonian Thistle's ground, the wind can clatter these waterfront stadiums sometimes and it can get pretty cold in there. Liverpool is already a pretty windy place anyway

Hopefully the stadium is designed in a way that minimises that, which I'm sure it will be

I bet it's still going to be chilly in there regardless though

It's a small thing to put up with considering we're getting a brand spanking new stadium of course, but still a relevant discussion point I feel, even if some people (with their entire 4 months of membership to the forum) want to be arsey about it

Back in the 80's i told my Mum, god bless her, when i went out in November in just me Everton Top, Farahs and Kickers!! Yes I was one of those!! Not to worry as they had the heating on!!

How we laughed!! lol
She used to mess with my head too sometime when I had recorded MOTD for an away game and she would say "you wont see any goals!" lol

We had similar humour levels!
I reckon it will be bitter but as its more enclosed, more protected until we get back outside, Cant Wait to find out tho!

Listening recently to nick one of our regular drone operators who films at anfield and bramley Moore weekly he actually stated that it was colder at anfield and by definition goodison than at bramley Moore. He’s done both sites every week for over a year now.
As he says it’s colder up higher ground

The temperature is the temperature at the end of the day, there might be 1 or 2 degrees different but it's not like parts of the city is 10 degrees cooler. And actually as @Cjplennon posted the longer the air blows over land the colder it can get.

What it then becomes is how exposed you are to the wind and if you are right by the dock wall that can block a lot of it out is going to feel better than being totally out in the open at say Stanley Park.

Nothing beats Stoke City in the height of winter

I think there's been warmer expeditions to the South Pole

Ever been to Oldham?

The waterfront is generally more exposed. Anyone who's ever braved the docks or ferries in the winter months would tell you how unpleasant that can be on occasion.

Cold AND wet is worse again. Some new stadia with very high roof lines have suffered badly in this respect. Standing in the rain was never great, sitting in it is horrendous. Both City and Arsenal experiecing particularly wet front sections on occasions (don't they issue plastic ponchos?). Bilbao (another riverfront stadium) had to extend the roof over parts of the playing area because much of the lower tier was far too exposed due to the high roof. This was so bad that fans often left their seats en masse, packing the concourses even though the original roof line covered all seats (rain doesn't always fall vertically).

Of course this is all further exacerbated if walking distances to/from transport are excessive.... and/or overly exposed with little or no shelter.

now, now, play nicely with him…..

I bet it's going to be freezing in winter what with it being right next to the water

Just keep the windows and doors of your executive box closed ffs…..

Portsmouth away end is the worst I’ve been too, basically was like a wind tunnel due to being open at the back/top of the stand so the roof and terraces created a funnel.

There's been extensive work done in relation to wind mitigation, it was submitted as part of the planning application.

That's why there are trees and other wind mitigation features dotted around the site along with the undercroft/tunnel along the Western elevation to protect supporters and players when entering the ground.

I seem the recall that the bit circled below will be gates which can be closed when the weather gets REALLY bad to close off the waterfront side.

I also think it's the reason why we have these grey bits that have appeared on the most recent images. They're some sort of screen at the very rear of the stands to protect against the elements as the barrel/ side of the roof is effectively an open mesh type finish.

Looking splendid in the sun today. Nearly all the terracing had been added to the lower half of the upper tier on the east stand.

Not sure if this is a WUM.... But ill answer anyway. Generally areas near the coast are more moderate in temperature than those inland. Of course it may be more windy at the BMD as it is exposed but within the stadium it will be protected of course.

My dad worked on the docks for 30 years probably at BMD at some point as well, he'd come home frozen so I think perhaps you (like Meis) are underestimating how cold (and windy) it will be.

Some right wimps amongst our fans.
You wouldn't get them Geordies moaning about a slight chill in the air.

Magnificent

The prevailing winds are from the south west, these are generally mild winds.
In my thinking these will be blowing from behind the South Stand (home end) and corner of West Stand coming across the Mersey from Birkenhead.
