New Everton Stadium

[tr_efc]

How until until the pitch is complete, do we think? Is by the end of next week too soon?

Or will they leave it until the very end because it's obviously not going to be needed until well into the new year?

Has a decision on the renovated pump house been finalised on what is will be used for does anybody know?

I think it's going to be a cafe. Not 100% though

Reckon some of our current squad if they get too close to the stands they'll be dragged off by the scruff of the neck, surf-boarded over the heads of the fans to the back and the nearest exit.

not many of our players need room to run off

Don't think I could have dealt with see Bournemouth fans celebrating behind the goal last Saturday. Only silver lining was that they were out of eyeshot if the TV camera

I know it would have been more of a sickener,but you have to take the good side of it with the bad.

Would have loved it to be a pub like the albert dock pump house - but not ran by Greene King.

After a few days of sulking (post Saturday) and avoiding anything Everton like the plague, I plucked up the courage to come in the stadium thread.. It's 'safe' in there I thought...

First post I read:

Saturday at 1:20pm

Nice pic mate

Fourth post I read:

Saturday at 5:36pm

First game of the season and first game at our new stadium at home to Wrexham nailed on

GTF.

We are Everton.

We don't do relegation.

Well apart from those two other times, correct-ish up to now

Always hoped they would display the Dave France collection there.

Was at Barca recently and they have a great Museum and interactive experience to on a limited site - not sure we would get the footfall for that though, they were charging about 80 euro a pop.

The end of next week is too soon, yes.

I believe they are seeding it soon and letting it grow / stitching the synthetic stuff in situ over the coming weeks. They aren’t leaving it until next year.

Not sure if I remember the museum being in the ground with the shop (think I'm wrong though).

The pump house at BMD is actually huge with a couple of floors - more than enough room for both.

Be cool to have a cold pint next to some of the David France collection.

That would of been great that

Still think it's a possibility as I said earlier it's pretty big with multiple floors.

I think they may also be adding a roof terrace facing the stadium? (Be daft if they don't utilise that space.

I'm a huge fan of the heritage renovations like the old tracks etc.

Easy name for it the bar too, the "1883 Bar". Already has the signage.

They've done an incredible job if you look at the old pics:

That's a pretty good idea. Is it that big inside?
I've never noticed that roof/terrace space either, that's quite a decent size.

I'd love it if we did actually so that, but you know this is Everton we are talking about

Bigger than it looks in the pictures at least.

That is a decent size tbf! Also, I love the idea of 'The 1883 Bar'

Has there not been any indication of what it will actually be? As I said, I'm sure I read that it will be a cafe but I'm not 100% on that. Maybe I read a suggestion
