New Everton Stadium

[GoldenToffee]

How's that? The bar in the South Stand, for example is almost the width of the whole stand. With far more staff to serve you and more space, how can it be anything other than a massive improvement? I also read there are 747 toilets in the new gaff. It's a whole new world, surely?

Additionally the service will be much quicker due to the upgraded facilities, contactless payment and no doubt plastic cups that fill from the bottom in about five seconds.

Is the larger stand to the left one stand, there seems to be a wall separating one half from the other. ?

Yes it will divide it into standing and sitting and it will drastically reduce the amount of times in a game where we will get an atmosphere. How often are we going to get the entire stand stood up as one now?

If only we could be like anfield though, 61k don't you know.

Size is literally their only consideration with that mess.

Interesting tweet from a Spurs fan campaigning for a singing section at their new ground. I hope we have learnt from their mistakes.

“At Tottenham they instructed the architects to create the acoustically loudest stadium in the league and then didn’t think about how that noise would start and who would start it. What happened was everyone headed south for a cheaper ticket and all the vocal fans were spread all over, the Park Lane / Shelf corner was gone. Add to that tickets prices that have gone up 20% in 2 years, a high turnover of fans, an obsession with playing really loud music everywhere right up to kick off and the production team managing every moment not allowing the atmosphere to grow organically, members struggle to get tickets and there’s no members blocks like 35 at WHL where you knew you’d find likeminded vocal fans, plus a drive by the clubs to get as many new fans as possible through the door every week, together with a ticketing plan that attempts to mix all fans together, which doesn’t help the atmosphere.

If there is absolutely no focus on atmosphere, then the atmosphere will die”

….. I imagine most Gwladys St ST holders will gravitate to the South Stand, be interesting to see where ST posters on here are planning to sit.

Where do you sit now? What is your preferred stand at BMD?

I'm surprised that they didn't go for a larger version of their old East Stand with a shelf and safe-standing along the side, with large double deckers at each end, as they had previously. The old WHL was louder, with just over half the capacity, and no Kop in sight. There is no basic understanding of how the atmosphere is built or how old terrace culture worked to do that. They couldve stacked most of the corporate on one side and built a mega-shelf on the other side.

If only we could be like anfield though, 61k don't you know.

At least 20k of their capacity will be day trippers.

£650 a ticket to see Leicester and £1,200 a ticket to see Man Utd in the ‘founders’ lounge at Greyskull. These are the club prices, not from a tout.

And what the **** are they founders of?
