New Everton Stadium

[davek]

Keeping the light show theme running: can we shine this off the new stadium roof across town and onto Big Stand FC?

If you’ve not been done yet/in a while, go down of an evening and have a mooch while the lights are on

It’s spectacular

Also being able to see into the turnstiles makes it very so so real

can you didn’t even know we had any?

When will be able to get on site and get close to this stadium?

My best mate sent me this Friday.

From my LOR mate: We’re on track to complete our works for Christmas - then it’s over to the club to complete to fit out for 6 months. Everything is do-able and achievable for footie in Aug mate. They will need a couple of test events in May / June next year which are all planned. It’s a magnificent stadium. The quality of that south stand amenities areas with the blue kit escalators going up from ground level to the public bars and concessions is just great. Massive area up there with views back to the city. Superb. I also love the west plaza public realm space - where the coaches will pull up & the players will enter the ground. Really cool. They are planning a floating stage on the water adjacent to the west plaza for music / entertainment pre-match and the public space adjacent Regent Road with the old hydraulic tower is huge. Can imagine people mingling pre-match for a beer. Think they are looking at putting a bar in the hydraulic tower. Looking at it all yesterday if I was choosing a seat I’d go east stand - pro’s your facing the dug outs, and directors, you can see / hear the blue wall, you can see / hear the away fans in the corner, you have east access / egress via Regent Rd - there is walkable access to the south stand bars via the huge concourse. You will love it mate. Its quality. An exciting time to be a blue!

This is my preference, but from watching the interview John Blain did it sounds like it's going to be the most popular pick for a lot of fans.

I'll be quite far down the list when it comes to picking a seat but will be choosing on my own so hoping there is an odd empty one available in a decent position by the time it's my turn!

I thought that a late re-design in the plans, involving more accommodation for disabled supporters in both the north and south stands, was to mean a reduction in overall capacity.

The 52,888 capacity was estimated before the planning process was completed, but close to the end of the process the design was altered with the introduction of areas to accommodate wheelchairs at the front of the South Stand (not sure if the same for the North Stand). This must have led to a downward revision of the capacity.

Looking at the WSL derby, with the Park End empty, is there a row of rail seats added about 3-4 rows back from the front ? It looks like it

Blue streak special would look well on the tracks with a couple of carriages done out as one long bar.
