New Everton Stadium

Is it true that Dyche has asked for a stuffed tiger standing on its hind legs for his office at BMD?

See the screenshot from January, this is the east stand before the roof was started, i have drawn round the floodlights in red.

Now you've posted that, I do remember. Thanks. I'm still really looking forward to the big switch on.

 

[Dr Baxter]

That's the design of it. It will look exactly how it looks now, though I'm sure it'll have some classy lighting

Looks really open to the elements. I've posted on this before but I can't help thinking it is a waste of space, in every sense.

The elements cant get to the fans through that section as it's completely blocked off by the concrete seating.

Even though they’ve been like this for decades, I still find it a bit mad how floodlights are so small that you don’t notice them unless you look for them.

They used to be these huge hulking things towering above football grounds… though admittedly before my time, I guess that image of towering floodlights is stuck in the collective consciousness to a degree.

Any idea if they have changed their mind regarding solar on the roof? Just with it being more or less finished no signs of the panels

No it’s not true at all don’t be silly. He has actually asked for Mike Tyson tiger to be in his office at BMD.

Panels go on last!

South Stand. They’ll be going up soon.

Yeah, I did know that. But, I was referring to the weather getting into the steelwork, concrete etc. The rain will sweep in and when it snows heavily it will stick. Seems needless.

Had a drive past this morning. It is very very imposing, could not believe how big the stadium is.
On the downside, it stunk to high heaven.

God bless.

You should have opened your windows.

I do wonder if something could be bought in that would mask the smell. Surely that exists somewhere.

In one of their updates they said that the stadium will have its own scent. I assume that they will be releasing some sort of scent to mask it. Unless they just acknowledged it will stink there

Genuinely funny

I have been there a couple of times in hot and cold weather and it hasn't been smelly. I suspect that they occasionally vent excess gases so it will stink a bit some days, but they probably have agreed not to do anything on match-days. I hope so anyway.

I'd guess I've been down about 12 times since the build started and I have never smelt anything. As you say, it must just be once in a while.
