New Everton Stadium

[peteblue]

There will never be a standing section in a stadium in this city.

And yet everyone in the Kop stands up throughout the game......go figure.......

I was around the proposed area today and can confirm there is defiantly a nasty smell !!

I'm sure somebody here works for UU and said that smell is self contained. Also heard that it's molasses that's the smell?

Any new stadium should be future-proofed as much as possible and that means easy provisionning to install 'safe-standing'. Would be stupid of the club not to.

In an ideal world you build your Main Stand to the west so that come 3PM on a Sat most people are not blinded by the sun. With the plethora of KO times now it's not as important. It's why early KO at Goodison are poor for sunlight being in the fans eyes as it was never designed for them.

Don't think the people building Goodison ever gave two squits about the eyes of the serfs attending tbh.

Based on what Chris said does it sound self contained to you? Who buys a plot of land next to sewage treatment factory to cater for up to 50k corporate and customer based clientele?

You need three things for terraces to be safe

1) a well-designed safe standing system
2) football clubs and authorities to consider the fan's well-being as more important than money
3) policing at football matches to be based on the concept of serving the public rather than considering fans to be scum and the enemy

Germany have all three and it works well. The UK would just have the first and problems would never be far away

Personally dunno I'm never down there. This is the post from @ryanbeno80 who knows more than me....

I work for a company that builds sewage treatment works and you can rarely smell anything when you are on the site it self unless you are up close to certain areas of the works, and even then it's quite mild.. UU will have a responsibility that no Odour effects surrounding areas and if it does they will have to do something about it.. Can't see it being a problem

With regards to buying a plot next to a sewage works I agree with you but we're in this mad world at the minute of having to believe Moshiri knows what he's doing

Yeah I agree but they wouldn't want it in their eyes

It cost one company 150m to do something about as I mentioned in another post....that will not happen here I suspect.

The RS will protest mate, then the same people will go and stand up every week home and away.

Protest all they want we are first team in city, they will pop up all over England eventually. Look at Celtic.. Why no protest against their safe standing? No way we have to pander to them.

If enough complaints happen and were proven to be sufficient, they have to take further preventative measures to eliminate odours emanating from the plant.

I wouldn't wait for the problem to impact a new massive commercial venture I would be all over it now with UU. That is exactly what happened with Twickenham and they had that utility company invest 150m before it impacted stadiam commercial operations.

Im not so sure that the smell would be self contained from united utilities, although Ive not been down the docks recently Ive been past the place just off the lancs and it stinks, no way its self contained

We don't know that they aren't. We also don't know that it is in fact coming from the plant. As others have mentioned, the smell of molasses can be quite strong down there. Extensive tests have been run on plant that matches the tech used at UU and have found that there is no need for further odour elimination than what the kit supplies. However, it would become up to them to prove if it was challenged, if it isn't being....

Some will protest and some will be in support of safe standing ( I am) . Like all issues people have differing opinions. Why tar everyone with the same brush? The article includes a statement from the HJC which of course includes bereaved family members. http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpool-news/echo-readers-say-safe-standing-11657310

I'm pretty sure that when GP was built it was prdominantly attended by men and boys wearing hats and caps which probably took care of the sun.........
