New Everton Stadium

The above post raises a good point... It will be interesting to see how detailed the specific "View From Seat" option is, once it is made available.

Would be brilliant if you could enter a few variables which would give you a really bespoke and as accurate as possible representation.

Could be really informative if for example they give you the option to enter your height (the view from a particular seat for a 6ft plus adult could be totally different to a young child, especially if sat up against a vomitory or handrail). Also being able to switch between how it looks sitting versus standing (for when everyone stands up as an attack starts to develop (LOL as if!)), and the option of filling the surrounding seats with models of others.

Can't see them doing any of that though

Great shout that though mate.

Get all the 6 footers at the back and let us vertically challenged folk at the front!!!

Question:
Do we think they will still do a version of "Operation Goodison Exercise", and if so, what are they going to call it?

"Operation Everton Stadium Exercise"?

What even is Operation Goodison Exercise?

They open all the external gates/doors. So say they was to be an emergency evacuation, fans don't get stuck because someone forgot to open up exit C or whatever.

Nice! Been wondering for about two decades.

Always wondered why they don't just relay that via radios rather than having it blasting over the tannoy. (or better still just have it planned in advance at a set time).

That's not true though is it. The OFFICIAL line from the club is that there are no obstructed views. The OFFICIAL line from the design team is that there are no obstructed views.

Nothing has confirmed that the South Stand wall obstructs any views. Nothing has confirmed that seats have been 'Removed'. They were NEVER installed in the first place. That's a simple fact, something you clearly struggle with. Makes absolutely no difference whatsoever if they were there on the planning drawings but aren't now. It's planning, not construction. I'd expect you to understand what the RIBA Plan of Work is.

When talking about the away end, i stated that supporters would be standing so it wouldn't be an issue. As i've already conceded in this thread, that was an incorrect assumption as the area is actually seated. Nevertheless, no-one can say with certainty that those seats are absolutely obstructed or if they will even be sold. I'm quite happy to wait and reserve judgement and not openly criticse at every opportunity.

I'm trying to understand what your experience is that makes you such an expert on stadium design that it means you can openly criticse something you weren't involved in. Thanks for confirming you're not an expert.

*Edit* Just to add, I haven't been critical of the process or design at all. I suggested that it might have been better had they chamfered the corner of the platform off to improve the views. That's offering an opinion, i haven't called it flawed or poor design like you have. I fully expect that there is a reason why they have done what they have. A reason that no-one here knows because we aren't part of the design team!

No, when the point was raised about the swept back wall, YOU stated that there would be no obstructions in that area, based on your belief that the design process and those responsible were somehow infallible, and basically, who was I to question it.

The drawings clearly show those end of aisle seats in place. The videos/images showed the bracketry was in place for those seats during construction and steps were also set to the width of the original aisle. Now those seats and brackets are not there.

Now you're backtracking and deflecting with personal attacks questioning my experience etc, which is entirely irrelevant to the points being made.... i have never said that I was an "expert" but have experience in sightline modelling/surveying and design. You evidently don't.
