New Everton Stadium

Here we go peeps, latest update with great views of barrelled roof supports on west stand... enjoy 💙

Excellent views. What struck me more than anything was the potential to expand both the East and West stands just by redesign of the roof above the two structures. Obviously one of our building experts will tell me why it can’t be done, but the space above is available…….

It is available and can be done but by the time we've paid for what we've got and think it's time to extend then it will probably cost 300 million per stand. The numbers won't add up well to warrant it and will ruin the cohesive look imho. It's a bit like the North Stand at the millennium stadium, they've talked about developing it for years but that one stand would cost nearly as much as it did to build the rest of the stadium to start with.

Just got to hope they allow us higher standing ratios as it has already been baked into the design to get that extra 9 or so thousand in.

I think there are only 7500 safestanding places in total (home and away). Even at 1.5 :1, that will only yield 3750 additional capacity.

Quite agree. And I think Colin Chong himself said if we expand it would be via the east and west stands.

Of course it can't be done because it'll spoil the pretty curved roof and affect the acoustics ;)

I've not seen the exact numbers but I would have guessed there has to be at least 5k just in the lower South stand including the corners? That at the numbers they hope to get (1.8:1) would return + 4000 alone, presumably that number could be matched in the North stand too if the demand is there to do so.

I've always gone along with that will be some point way off down the line as it will be 1:1 for several years before moving up to something like 1.3:1 and then perhaps your figure of 1.5 is a more realistic celling a decade or more after introduction. That said if that is successful and supporters and stewards/police aren't raising concerns over overcrowding then perhaps there is a case to be raised again and occasional games could go higher as part of a further trial.

Will supporters behave enough to make that a reality...I don't know. All you can say is that if we have built the ground to be able to accommodate that number of people it has to give us a better chance. I agree with what you've said previously where they probably should have increased the tread depth if they wanted two standing rows created within a seated row. That may go against us when other clubs new stands/stadiums are built to future specs to allow larger safe standing ratios.
 
How many season tickets are available for when the new stadium is built?

Also, how high is this stadium compared to others?

Looks pretty big for a what is essentially a 50k stadium

Regarding season tickets I can't see there being a load more than the 31k we have currently. Perhaps new ST places will be created by the ones who upgrade to premium ones? But I would guess that will be it.

If you've seen the new Anfield Road stand in person you'll know that isn't small, our stadium is a couple of metres taller again I believe.

Because of the steepness of the terraces it is tall for essentially 12k more than Goodison. I did a few mock ups a while back showing what the new stands would look like in comparison and it simply towers over it.

Yeah. I clocked that. Would be expensive but easily doable. Take the concrete higher, more beams to hold it up and the start of the roof then over hangs the sides, rather than just finishes there. I'm sure that's what it's been designed for. It has been future proofed.

Are you sure it's taller than the new extension that crowd are building?
