New Everton Stadium

West Ham get 65,000 every home game. If we want to become the best team in the land, we have to think big. I really hope these new owners aren't as timid as Bill was all those years.
I have touched on this in the past. Man City and West Ham print complimentary tickets for many schools and other establishments resulting in thousands of give away tickets. Tickets that are actually sold and season ticket numbers are then calculated as attended. They do not do a turnstile adding up they just mark the attendance as tickets sold and given out regardless if they attend or not. This is why you always see empty seats at West Ham but is recorded as a full house.
Most clubs like Everton do the attendance on people turning up not tickets given out
 
I don't think they meant fill it in did they? I took as developing the land opposite.

I think the TFG meant that, but some have blown that up and we couldn't build an Etihad style campus just around the edge of it!

Ped said to fill it in and put a 26k indoor arena there. One of the things that makes our stadium special is the Nelson body of water and the reflections it gives. Madness thinking of doing away with it.

Agreed. That's what makes our new home so special. No use moving to the waterfront and remove all the water.

Oh I see, Ped is talking crap, you wouldn't have to fill in the dock to do that, there's loads of room on Central Docks, peel would sell it to them if the wished to buy it.
And yes you're right, the water reflections are part of its charm. They would have no chance getting permission to fill another dock in anyway, especially as there's so much land available as it is.

West Ham have the big stadium, but it comes with a terrible atmosphere and plenty of their own fans hate it. They got it on the cheap and thought that would put them on the path to the top end of the league. They never thought about how poor of a stadium it might be long term. The upper tier was supposed to be taken down originally, as the idea was to keep it as an athletics stadium. The roof and upper tier was never meant to be there long term. They also have had issues with stadium branding.

There is a water treatment plant immediately to the North (over the road) - United Utilities (Thames Water equivalent) 'processing' turds for the few grossly disfigured fish in the River Mersey.
The water they pump out of there is clean water after the filtration process etc.

There used to be about 14 outfalls pumping raw turds into the river until that was built.

Yes, my point isn't that I want our stadium to be like West Ham. It's that a team went from getting 28,000 to 62,000. We could easily go from 40,000 to 60,000. Anyone who thinks we couldn't, have had that fear drummed into them by Kenwright.
 

latest video confirms that the blue lighting will be calibrated for coverage and angle, so i suspect it will end up being a blue hue under the barrel rather than the current spots of blue.


Good news :dance:

You can see from the lighting on the South stand that the intent is likely to light up the underside of the cladding at the top of the 'window' but it's failing to do so in the most part.
