New Everton Stadium

[McKindrick Blue]

I know that the lattice effect on the brickwork is not to everyone's taste and I'm somewhat glad it is so subtle as to be mostly imperceptible, but I think nods like this below are really cool. Great shot from the latest club update vid...

the more I see the more my mind is blown!

Ive run out of words now!!

Seeing the exposed bit of the old dock wall again, the view through the Leitch bit to the Liver Building!

Just wow!

 

[The binman chronicles]

Couple of weeks back the tip of my finger came into contact with one of the propellers as it landed on my hand.......never cut it but it was painful for a good few hours afterwards

There's a perfectly simple and reasonable explanation for this.

...You're Superman.

Had that been poor @tommye it would have been another tip sadly going into the bin...

I don't think he bins them mate. He probably saves them to give to taxi drivers.

Why have they installed dug out seats already? They're not even embossed with the club logo or a sponsor like every other team in the league.

I think they can all be added later, like the branding of the terrace seats etc

I have to focus on my inexplicable current fascination...

Interesting use of the word "during" - like the wall being exposed is a transitory thing.

Be interesting to see the relationship between the pitch / advertising hoardings and that stone work.
If there’s any chance a player can come into contact with it I imagine it would be covered.

Found myself thinking "I'm going to bring my camera and give that a crack" myself!

When they showed the East plaza steps as well mate, it cuts to an arists impression. Deffo looks like it's going to stay like that breezeblock finish.

Yeah, it's interesting to me precisely because it's right on the edge of being visible / not being visible when the pitch is laid.

Yeah, I think it is, isn't it?

Shame, but maybe it's something we can improve later.

I'm disappointed with that whole space, to be honest - it's felt tacked on since the moment it was unveiled in the revised designs.

The idea is great - but the design is, to me, incongruous. You can tell one architectural firm designed the stadium and another the stepped plaza.

Yep, even with the brick facade on the plaza it would have been nice to have the black panel trims so that from a distance (if you were on the ferry as an example) it would match with the panels on the stadium cladding.

Like you said, it definitely just feels like an add on and a cheap one at that.

Little things like that can be "fixed" later on, surely?

Yes.

I think this design for the stepped plaza was much better. The scale is more appropriate, and it's much more creatively shaped.

(Though I do think the massing of the carpark is too much - it projects too far).
