I disagree that having a bigger capacity would have sunk the club. It's the people who ran the club, they nearly sunk it. Moshiri, for all his effort, was trying to sell us to 777 for God's sake. Now THAT would have sunk the club.

Something would have had to have given. We were close to the abyss a couple of times, so the options could have been to mothball the project, reduce the capacity halfway through or skimp on the materials and end up with the fit and finish of grayskull.

Very true
That's how he kept his job for 11 years without winning a jot.

He kept his job for 11 years because he is the best manager we've had in the Premier League era/last 30 years. Joe Royle won the FA Cup and if he had stayed longer may have done better but Moyes' longevity outdoes Royle.

Even if Royle was better Moyes is still comfortably in the top 2.

Since our last Title in 1987 we have finished in the top 4 only twice - once under Moyes.

We have finished 5th three times - twice under Moyes

6th four times - twice under Moyes.

Been to 2 Cup Finals since 1989, one under Royle that we won and the other was under Moyes.

You'd fail to turn up to orientation Matty. They'd say meet up outside the West stand and you'll be sat outside the North one thinking why has no one showed up.

They be all wondering where's Wally

I feel like Everton have a huge and loyal support BUT also need to attract the younger fans, by having a larger capacity allows the option to invite local schools etc, if only 10-20% in time becomes blues that still grows our support, we need to attract the casual support who have now chance of getting into A*field and I honestly think we have a huge opportunity with the new stadium to build the next generation of blues

I have two kids but only me as a season ticket holder, with a larger stadium there is more chance of 2 or 3 of us sitting together

Maybe when things settle down in new stadium more availability will arrive for all of you will be sitting together..imo alot of people jumping on waiting list may give it up few seasons in.. wasn't long ago we were offering half season tickets.

11 years of " knife to a gunfight " wasn't for me.
He was Kenwrights shield , he kept the wolf from the door without winning anything.
Very very few managers get 11 years at any Prem club most get 2 years but Moyes was just what Kenwright needed.

Covering the pitch to presumably stop the birds getting to the seeds.

Did you prefer the 11 years before he arrived (90-01 ignoring the Cup win)

Or the 11 years since he left in 2013?

Not a case of what I prefer we've had 30 years of winning nowt.
But
Silva 's 1st season
Koemans 1st season
Carlo's only season.

Good post.
Any idea on the distance between the lowest point of the roof and the top of the bowl, eg in the corners?

It only gives the measurements from the centre of the stand.

Looking at this image we can estimate that each glass rectangle is roughly 4m give or take. Seeing there is two whole, two partial and about one more would take it up to the height of the top edge and the full 47m. So towards the very corners it might be closer to 37m. We have to remember though as the corners of the bowl have already cut across before that point, it would probably be better to take the measurement from the first steel column. That would put it at around 40ish (without printing it out and getting a ruler involved).

The water they pump out of there is clean water after the filtration process etc.

Me and the missus have been drinking that water for years and has never done us any harm
