New Everton Stadium

[SLAVEN BILIC]

Haven’t gone back to see what you’re all talking about but I presume it’s that massive gap in the join in the North East barrel cladding?

Massive may be overstating it ever so slightly

Last time I checked mate it had increased to the point I could squeeze a wind turbine in it.

We could get whoever headlocked Denise to squeeze them back together. Be a piece of piss.

Really enjoying watching the West Plaza coming on. The fan plaza will look great, but the steps with the cladding and water will look stunning in the summer.

Anyone know what the plan is for the area between us and the Utilities plant? Was that always open? Are we putting a wall or fencing there? I dont remember seeing it on any of the original pictures/videos.

Tommy can you get down there today and pollyfill that big massive gap on the barrell cladding cos that's just going to fry my brain for the rest of the day

Bit of tarpaulin and heavy duty ducting tape. Job done!

Must admit, as much as I liked the look of the images released of how it was going to look pre/early build, I was never enamoured by it.

But seeing it come together has changed my mind… it’s magnificent.

Can’t wait to go and see it in person.

Can you go and cellotape it together mate, i don't like it.

If we look at the South East corner where it's still semi uncovered, you can see the framing that is different to all other ribs (two smaller ones) that divides the South stand from the East to allow them to move independently, the gap runs over the roof too:

I can't say for sure they will try to mask these up, I doubt they would be too visible at ground level though.

These things are common along large expanses of steelwork and generally you don't notice. For instance Titanic's superstructure had two such gaps.

Did anyone ever find out what the more transparent sections of the cladding are for?

Behind the mesh there is exhaust pipework.

And look what happened to that!
