They let us in 90 mins before kick off for the first test event. That was both in the dock area and stadium.

Has anyone received their ticket for the second test event yet? I got the confirmation email but the "add to wallet" link doesn't seem to work and it isn't showing up in my Everton App either.
I’m the same mate, had the confirmation email, then have had another about the evacuation exercise that will be performed, nothing about ticket.

I tuned in at the top of the hour and there was no mention of it, been on in the background since and still haven't seen anything of the stadium.
I took it to mean they were presenting all day from there so perhaps a segment every hour amongst their normal coverage but seems not to be the case, it's all been in studio so far.

There`s some clips on the sky sports web page if you can get on that.

The subject of Steep Stands and if they are closer or further away comes up a few times. I've done a crap attempt on paint, with an even crappier photo of my attempt, which helps explain the issue:
You may have to zoom in but the blue lines show the gradient. And black lines show the steps.
What I think many do is simply pivot a line in their heads to think that steep looks closer.
However the second image shows that you can't do that because the steps are no longer a series of horizontal and vertical lines.
The only way then that steep can be closer is when we reduce legroom as below. Both on the same gradient you can see that the tighter legroom fits more rows into the same space.
What happens though when we reach minimum legroom?
Above is a shallow stand with equal legroom to a steep stand. You can see the radius shows that shallow stand is closer. In this example 6 rows are the same distance as 4 rows of the steep stand. The steep stand is just higher up but definitely not closer.
Obviously there's other things to consider, and a stadium will have to have compromises. We all want a good view, especially when bringing kids who struggle to see over someones head and we all want a certain legroom etc.

This doesn't narrow it downJust watched Vinny O'Connor chatting from pitch-side with that idiot presenter from SSN trying to be funny.

Just realised that if Nelson dock had been purchased with BMD, there would have been no need to snip off a portion on the north stand.
