New Everton Stadium

So hard to do it justice.

 

[The binman chronicles]

Think Doncaster filled their full allocation, Southampton took the minimum amount and couldn't sell all of them. But it does show that there isn't much price elasticity in our fanbase if a £5 increase results in a smaller home turnout against premier league opposition.

Think it is more because of what is served up for that (or any) money really. We all knew it would be terrible and it ended up even worse than expected.

If we were playing well it would have been full at that price (minus the missing away fans).

Such a shame there's not enough room for the pitch

That’s a blessing in many ways

apologies if this has been answered before, but how possible is it to increase the capacity in the future? if so, how difficult would this be to do given small footprint of the ground?

I'm sure it will be as blue as you like when it's dressed for match day.

If the need arises in the future. Colin Chong confirmed that east and west stands could be extended to add additional 10,000 seats, So you would think 5000 each side. He did state though that the whole roof for all four sides would need to be changed.

I don't remember him saying that all four roof sections would need changing. The end roofs are goal post truss supported. Presumably these could stay in place and the side upper tiers extended between them (or a new tier), which would need approx 25 rows if it was a straight extenstion. Of course, this would form a step in the signature barrel roof, which might change the whole design aesthetic from rolling Wave to Armadillo, but it might also help to facilitate implementing a full/closing roof. Which could be a step-change in functionality/flexibility too.

Alternatively, negotiating airspace at the North stand might allow a more straight forward expansion there, adding approx 4k with a simpler stand and roof extension. A potential future capacity increase for safe-standing in north and south lower tiers, possibly taking the overall capacity upto 60k.

Good. They can sort out the expansion joints.

I know people say it looks like a spaceship, but I get more of a retro-future vibe from the kind of angle.

It looks like a giant Zeppelin docked and ready for takeoff.
