New Everton Stadium

[formerly manx toffee]

From what I can tell, there has been absolutely nothing to ever suggest Qatar Airways would be a sponsor other than fan speculation alongside Toyota and Bank of America.

Wouldn't exactly roll off the tongue like The Lexus or The Megafon would.

Best I can get you

It's health and safety gone a bit mad really. Council obviously covering themselves by herding people like cattle rather than just letting people calmly and patiently make their way across the bridge

I feel sorry for anyone trying to walk towards the ground at that particular time though. I can understand them keeping a narrow "north only" pedestrian path whilst the masses leave.

Think we found a way for increasing the capacity.

Remember when there was a vid in here, must be a few thousand posts back now, where someone was going round applying them.
Not hugely suprised there’s an error, I fact I’d be amazed if that was the only one out of 50 odd thousand

Was it LCC, then? Steve Rotherham claimed he had no idea who those guys at the bridge were on Radio Merseyside the other day. I know he's not City Council, but I'd have thought he'd have been informed about these sort of things, given his responsibility for public transport.

Well people make mistakes. Just hope the guy has gotten a good alternative seat.

Are folks going to stand in the Lower South stand?

Yeah, absolutely.

Just a stack of numbers in one hand, doing thousands of seats a day...

I remember commenting at the time that it was a nightmare job because it's mind-numbing, but you can't switch off because you've got to be on your game ensuring you're working sequentially.

The problem isn't that there's no 397, it's that they've mucked up the order of the labels!

By 2028 you'll be able to walk the river side of Nelson dock down towards town.

Which is great but it’s 2025

Couldn't make that out from the vid. If so even better.

could always be worse either way I guess:

Yes, this was my suspicion.

The width of the channel more than halves, from 19m to 8m:

(Plus another metre or so either side for the pedestrian walkways):

Looks like they should build new pedestrian walkways either side of the bridge.

Should be simple for normal countries. Would take 12 years, and eleventy billion pounds in the UK though, before it gets approved.

Wonder if they they’ve sold seat 399 or whatever the extra one on the row would be.
I would assume it wasn’t listed against the seat maps so should simply be reallocating the correct number to the correct ticket holder.

I dunno mate but I'd imagine only the council or the police would have the authority to implement a stop/go on a public roadway/Bridge like that and didn't look like or the setup of police doing it so presumed it was the council

I know but like any large event when it finishes anywhere really if you know you have to walk against the crowd coming out it's going to be majorly difficult so either get there just before or wait after for the crowd to disperse a bit

Probably been discussed before but what do people think about the type of fan that is going to start going to the new Stadium?

It's already started at Goodison the last few games. West Ham was unbelievable with the amount of alien accents around the ground.
