New Everton Stadium

[APN_EFC]

a tragic comedy:
my family and i went to spread our grandmother's ashes in the river on the ferry
it was nice that the place we did it was actually opposite the new stadium
at the same time, they were doing commentary and talking up the stadium, saying ' ...blah blah....it's due to open at the start of the 2025-26 season'.
sigh. i dont know if they'll ever commit to a real timescale

I have been told by a number of people we will go in the stadium at the start of the season rather than part way through

From the Echo today:

"Everton Stadium will have a capacity of 52,888 for club matches but it is understood that this will be slightly reduced to 52,679 for the required alternations for UEFA games."

That's cause the Fat cats in UEFA need two seats each.

Imho the interior bowl design and fit and finish makes theirs a better stadium but ours does look better from the outside.

As Muckers said, the Spurs stadium is basically an American Football stadium, i.e lots of quite small tiers making up a huge stadium.

Impressive at first glance but I genuinely prefer the inside of ours, bit more classic and condusive to atmosphere.

Been told by someone in ticketing it's going to be too complicated to move mid-season so yes I would agree.

I saw your pic, thanks for that. My mistake I'm actually JJ, so I'm a few rows behind. I'm slightly nearer the aisle /steps, so might be able to see a bit more of the goal.....probably not.
We're making a bit of a day of it and having first up close look at the new stadium before the game. Looking forward to that just as much tbh! Might even have a swift pint opposite.

Sounds good, a special moment seeing the new stadium for the first time. Anyhow you'll be fine for the Gwladys Street goal, I moved two seats across and could see that no probs. The Park End goal may become an issue as you go further up and across though...hopefully not.

I tend to think bias comes into that quite a bit. Yes it is good in one way to have a tighter, compact ground especially for those that go to the match, but subjectively if you were to show the interiors to a hundred neutrals they are probably going to select theirs.

"And the Everton stadium, if it gets completed in time"

Reckon it won't be done by 2028 aye?

Swear some in the media like to pretend that we haven't put a spade in the ground.

There's a lot of that, but I'm OK with it.

I know that our stadium won't be as 'good' as Spurs' stadium (when you consider every aspect, size, facilities, uses aside from football, technology involved, money generated, etc.), but there again almost no new stadium would be as good as theirs. Theirs cost about $1 billion!

What ours has is a great location and a unique outer design. I don't think the inside of ours will be anything special compared to other modern stadia, but it'll be a heck of a lot better than Goodison.

World Cup and Euro games tend to have the name of the city that the game is being staged in on the advertising boards on the half way line. Bit of a worry

Reclaim the city!

I’ve given up getting annoyed at these clowns now. Given airtime due a supposed expertise in what that are talking about (even if only journalism) and more often than not, they haven’t got a clue what they’re talking about outside their own limited sphere of interest.

I've been told by the people actually working for the club the move will be as soon as it's ready.

Yep, no sponsorship apart from UEFA's own allowed. Not sure what they will call it though, I imagine it will be "Liverpool Stadium" as they usually use the city it is located.

I hope that is correct I want to move as soon as possible

It is as I asked the question whilst doing the consultation. A company would never leave an asset like that sitting there for sentimental reasons.

I'd be surprised if that wasn't the case given our desperate need for money and the fact that BMD will generate much more match day revenue than GP. Also potentially naming rights money kicking in earlier.
