New Everton Stadium

The "not finished yet" thing is surely nonsense. Roof and drainage should be well finished and fully operational at this point (and long since). However, I hope it is just a bizarre scheduling error and not a miscalculation of drainage capacity. I'm also bit surprised that any failure/overflow route (for an upturned or barrel-roof design) is within the bowl footprint, and not fully external, to avoid this. Either of which could require some expensive mitigation. Hopefully it's as trivial as they're suggesting.

Who's lying in that newspaper article,then? EFC, The Daily Mirror or Laing O'Rourke?

I would be surprised if it wasn’t ‘finished’ by now too, but that doesn’t mean someone didn’t forget to re-open a valve or whatever after doing some work or commissioning etc.
Not beyond the realms of possibility that some kopite on site has deliberately blocked one of the downpipes either, symphonic systems do need greater maintenance than washaways ones as have smaller diameter downpipes.
The fact it’s only occurring in one area suggests it’s a localised issue rather than design flaw.
I don’t expect a need to redevelop the drainage or roof system just yet.
Biggest suprise / concern for me from that vid is the excess run off isn’t diverted better.
 
Would be great to know what it was like inside the stadium during the high winds.. whether the wind surfs across the top or swirls inside. Be interesting to hear from anyone who was inside there during the gales
 

The lack of transparency from Everton on the flooding issues could become a big problem.

Who’s going to buy a season ticket if you’re going to get drenched as soon as it rains?

Not really on Everton to say much, not got the keys yet as it's STILL UNFINISHED and as such it's all on LOR to provide explanation/updates.

People just wanna moan at the club for something to moan about.

They've literally said it's not finished yet,not sure why anyone needs to give a detailed explanation as to why it's specifically happened. Could be for one of any numerous reasons and it's clearly not something that's going to occur every time it rains.

If anyone uses it is a basis not to purchase a season ticket then, quite frankly, they're a moron. 🤷‍♂️
