That would be such a gargantuan task, and as the club don't get the keys until December (when Laing will let people in) it would knock back the date further.

How many staff members would they need to facilitate 30k+ members visiting their seat? How many days would it be open for?

I think we'd all like to have a walk around the stadium, see what the seats are like and the concourses etc., but being objective it's not a very feasible option.

To be honest I don't have a problem with what Damo said. It's how I feel too.

I think people get too sensitive over certain fans questioning "The Architect" as if it's some kind of sacrilege.

First of all people can have opinions. Different to Meis, different to The Esk, different to the club, different to mine even.

I think as someone else pointed out Meis will have been given his design brief from the club, It's all very well telling us about the last seats are the most expensive and big isn't necessarily better, size envy and stuff like that, but as some said he wouldn't be professing all this if it was Man Utd's new stadium
and they wanted a 100,000 but he's saying it should be less because the last seats are the most expensive nonsense.

I said before and I repeat it Everton have been living like a mid table club mid sized club for years so it's only to be expected they would build a mid-sized stadium.

By the way, that's not taking away any from the design, or the location. Although both are at a cost, at a premium. Granted.

Excellent post.

Dan Meis has done a wonderful job and he will forever be held in high esteem on the blue half of Liverpool. However, the idea that you simply CAN'T disagree with the club's talking points re: capacity because Dan has done a great job... is fatuous.

That doesn’t mean you will get like for like at the new stadium.
For eg if you are in the centre of the upper bullens or main stand. You will not get these areas as an option due to them now being occupied by corporate

I know it doesn’t . I’m answering about sitting in new/old groups .
Not staying in the same areas . I know that’s not possible .
As far as we are guessing it’s on how long you’ve had your season ticket for . Those people who’ve had it the longest , get first choice of the area they wish to sit . So it gets worked down to the least years.
For me personally I don’t want like for like.

Capped at twenty-six years.
 
I do wonder what they are going to do about people who have had their season ticket transferred over to them by just a name change on it.
Say if a grandfather had it for 25 years , and he no longer goes , so transferred it to his grandchild name .
Would the child still be down as ‘25 years’ tenure or is it wiped clean. So he’s on his own years .
 
Has Dan Meis said that the stadium site was chosen in the best interests of the city and the region rather than the club?

I have long felt that his rationale for restricting the capacity to 53,000 suggested that the site was clearly not optimal for Everton. I mean, why build on a restricted footprint if you wanted a big stadium. But I wasn't aware that he was openly saying the site was effectively chosen for the benefit of the city rather than the club.

We could have filled a bigger ground for the first year or so, but unless we get challenging for silverware or the top 6 there`ll be a drop off in interest. In the eighties the ground held about 58k with standing room when we were top of the pile, but in a short space of time there were lots of games when there was plenty of empty seats in the ground. The reason we`ve been selling out this and last season is because we`re approaching the end of Goodison. If we continue with finishes in the bottom half and early cup exits, a 60k + stadium would have a lot of empty seats.
Anyway we`ll see how we get on filling 52K every game for the foreseeable future.

We should be expecting to challenge the top six. I mean, otherwise, what's the point?

For what it's worth, I thought we should have built a 60,000 capacity stadium. We need to be thinking in terms of the great Everton of the 1980s or 1960s, and the great club of tradition. I think what we have built is going to prove too small in the future when, if the club is properly run, we should be stalwarts of the top half once more with genuine hope of winning cups and playing European football seriously.

Otherwise, we should have stayed at Goodison, embraced our decline, and comforted ourselves with history.

But, regardless, if the Friedkins are serious - and anybody they eventually sell to are serious - they'll come up with a solution to expand when it's really needed. For now, I will enjoy our new home. It's magnificent.
