New Everton Stadium

[AndyRJ]

That volume of water isn't just getting in from somewhere due to poor design. There's a clear issue with the roof, potentially the rainwater outlet. Given it's in the corner, then this is likely where the rainwater outlet/downpipe is so there's likely an issue with that.

Worry about it if it happens during a match day after opening and not when the stadium isn't finished yet. Granted, you wouldn't expect it to be happening at this stage but It's an obvious issue that LoR will be aware of and need to sort.

People in the post suggesting that the covers over the expansion gap are currently temporary until everything is finished. So hopefully that'll all be sorted out soon and the expansion gap coverings will look a lot better than what's currently on there.

Tottenham stadium, Emirates, Etihad, Villa Park, Bernabeau, Vicente Calderon, Parkhead, Ibrox, all better, I could name loads more !!

So you think a stadium that no longer exists in Spain is better than a stadium you've never been in and is not finished in England?
Also Parkhead, Emirates and the Etihad are nothing to write home about.

The Emirates is an interesting one.
The difference in atmosphere between it and Highbury is huge.
I'm glad every effort was taken to keep BMD claustrophobic!

You wouldn't get that volume from the expansion gaps and i'm not convinced that what's been installed is temporary anyway.

That video looks to me like it's an issue with the gutter and/or the siphonic rainwater system.

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 don't think there's any room at the North End but possibilities at the East & West sides

 

[Tim UpperBullen]

Well naming of the stands sorted, deep end and shallow end

 

[NathDogg]

After years of positive stadium news distracting from bad results it’s a refreshing change to see a good result followed by the roof caving in.

Everton that.

A failure/none connection of the siphonic drainage would be my guess as its so focused and a huge volume of water. The siphonic systems store it up to a certain volume then let all go at once.

Whatever it is though, it won't be a regular occurrence on a matchday, it'll be resolved I'm sure.

wonder how long to fix something like that? stadium meant to be named over in November. will try to get a close look at that corner next time am there,i think they have known about it for a while as it was pointed out on @cpoverview videos a little while ago

Might not need to be 'fixed' it may have just not been completed yet.

probably that

 

[Bedfordblue]

Probably just a test of the EBHDP system (Everton go Behind at Home Deluge Prevention system) for draining the tears and soiled undies of the arl arses and super bloos.

It won't be a major issue in the sense that it won't be a huge undertaking to resolve. Either something has failed/ not been fitted correctly or possibly just not completed yet. Obviously having huge volumes of water entering the ground like that isn't ideal but the stands should all be sealed so it shouldn't be causing damage internally.

I'm sure LoR will be around for a while after the official handover anyway. Even if everything is substantially completed, there will be a minimum 12 month defects correction period in which they will need to resolve issues.
