New Everton Stadium

[Lanolin]

Still a lot of concrete and steel on show in the stands, really need to see what will be the branding package inside the ground to soften up the look.

The club needs to let's the fans put there signature around the ground with banners, flags etc to give us the 13th man identity.

Who's the 12th?!

I've been critical before of the height of the roof from the last row of seats. However I noticed that the last row of seats don't connect to the roof and there's a gap.

Could it be possible that Everton may plan to add x no. of rows to the back of the stand and have left that gap and distance so that they don't have to disturb the roof
when doing so?

I haven't looked at the stand cross sections for a while, but from memory I didn't think there was much space between cantilever upright and back row for any additional rows on the sides.... unless that has changed since.

However, both end stand roofs are supported by full width trusses and therefore additional rows could be added (sightline permitting). I think Binman did a mock-up adding a few rows to the south stand. If we ever acquired the (air)space at the North Stand, that would be a relatively straightforward addition too.

Perhaps the reason they stank of piss is that people did miss the toilet too often?

I can reliably inform you that paddling in piddle has transfered seamlessly

Yeah I went to the top row on Sunday and I'm not sure there's much room to add many extra rows. If they ever did want to increase capacity in that way then I think the Roof would need to be raised.

The side stands would need a new roof for starters, but the South Stand could have a few more thousand with an angle change of the glass at the back.

Thanks Tom. The gap is pretty big not just vertically but I'm pretty sure the gap was decent horizontally too.

It's only something I thought of afterwards so when I saw it I wasn't thinking about the possibility of it being left for additional rows. Could be worth a closer look on the next visit.

You normally expect the last row to be attached to the upright but it wasn't. At least in the part I looked at anyway.

The South East corner I noticed that was detached. You can see that from the outside.

That was that kopite from the first event. Hope he tripped down the stares, the tit

Just looking at that again, this must be the original Meis cross section with straight corner wall.... not swept-back, as was constructed. So not sure if the back row (before your extension) is in the position as built.

 

[James Patrick]

He might be thinking about the original east-west variant.... that probably could've had equal height end stands.

They could have had equal height stands but chose to have one "big" end at expense of the other end.

I mean I wouldn’t be happy but you can defo still see all of the pitch so

 

[maccavennie]

Has anyone determined that the walls in the South East/ West corners don't obstruct the view yet?

Eh I wasn't far off was I mate
