New Everton Stadium

[Convoy1044]

Bit of a longshot this, but does anyone still have those structural cross sections where they lay the bramley Moore stands over others.

I'm trying to gauge the relative height and distance from the pitch compared to areas of goodison.

I generally like the design and the location is fantastic, the pillars external of the South stand I’m not particularly keen on…they have a bit of a league one look to them

The location isn't fantastic, it's nowhere near the city centre and travel is going to be ridiculous. Kings dock would've been 100 times better.

Yes it would have been but would you rather have had this location, Kirkby, Stoneycroft etc? It’s still a good location but unfavourably compares to where the M&S arena is now

Why do the top tier seats look wet, does anyone think there are random leaks in the roof, something does not look right to me?

I heard the other day that it's ten miles from BMD entrance to Liverpool One! Total disgrace and not well thought out at all.

Apparently it’s a design flaw, the only open air stadium in the world that allows rain to reach the seats.
Damn you Meis.

Didn't know Kings dock was an option. Best location out of any of the others on offer.

I'll tell you what my fear is about a site that's provided a 'natural' barrier like a wall: that access to it will be generally restricted in a way that it could never, of course, have been at Goodison.

It's vitally important that this stadium is available to the community 24/7 and not treated like an out of reach facility.

The dock walls have been hated in Liverpool because of their restrictions on access. I'd counsel the club never to go down that route. It has to be a living social organism in that district or it will become estranged to it, alienate it and soon fail.

Since when have the Dock walls been hated in Liverpool? News to me, built by French prisoners from the Napoleonic War they should not be knocked down to suit a football club.

That's a fair comment, I love the new stadium I'm just selfishly thinking about how to get there with an elderly relative.

It was ours until Kenwright ballsed it up unless I'm getting confused with another central location.

I'll be travelling 856 miles to get there this weekend. Utter disgrace!

Disgraceful house hunting on your part there mate. Get to one of the estate agents in West Derby when you're over and sort this farce out.

Don't forget to time how long the walk takes mate

King's Dock would have been better for us as a club. I won't doubt that at all, a huge missed opportunity. But I think BMD is a better location for the city in the long run. It'll eventually bookend the city centre and I don't think having 50,000 people merging on a city centre stadium would be that great on a match day. It would bring the city centre to a standstill and there would be a lot of football fans milling around. Whilst most of us wouldn't care, it can be intimidating for people who couldn't care less about football.

BMD is a betterment on Goodison's location. I understand you might be anxious for those with mobility issues but I don't think travel for those fans will be worse than the current situation. Granted it's easy for me to say this though. But I guess we won't know for sure until we start playing there.

I'll be using the Millennium Falcon, town to BMD (8000 light years) in 6 parsecs. Piece of p***.

God bless.
