New Everton Stadium Discussion

@kev was going to do that too but he went the diplomatic 'sucking the fun out of the only decent thread' route.

Honestly you can't blame someone for flipping their lid, do other clubs have this many doom-mongers?

I love that he's confident on timescales, sponsorship revenue and everything else without showing any particular working.

He's riding into battle with his sword held high.

Some hint of the ground being suspended, folloewd by a picture of all work-staff in a meeting on the top tier.

As we all know when you get bad news the bosses are bound to make everyone walk up 10 floors of stairs to tell them at the top of the stadium rather at the bottom.

Some cheeky reds/blues have turned the topping out thing, into something else.

Mm, I’m not trained in HR best practice but you probably wouldn’t tell people they are all getting laid off on a raised platform next to a large body of water.

What does that mean ?

The ceremony marks the overall completion of the building's structure (the building is not completed, or ready for transfer to the owners or clients, it is a stage during the building process).

It's not a traditional 'Topping out' That's when the roof is complete as the name suggests, but it could be the final part of the concrete superstructure.

'Topping out' ceremony apparently

ment to be tomorrow with sharp and baxendale
there

 

[Toffeeslam]

What does that mean ?

Hopefully it means topping themselves for the complete and utter incompetence at running a football club

Bill has allegedly already had a few "bottoming out" ceremonies in his time like.

In an ideal world, id leave Nelson dock as a body of water. Looks like a reflecting pool for the south stand. Id love them to decorate the perimeter build seating, maybe a landing platform for water taxis etc, even have some docking for barges, maybe a floating bar etc.

There are so many warehouses and derelict looking buildings along the dock road and derby road, surely they would be better utilised for carparking. Out of sight of the shiny new stadium.

I also hold out hope of an over head railway or tram system to go from BMD with stops at the new "Central park", mann Island and the 3 graces, Albert dock, Echo arena, baltic market, brunswick, old garden festival site and all the way up to Otterspool, connecting the whole waterfront. But that might be just a pipe dream.

10,000 cars tugged into the Irish Sea during the first half and sold at a Dublin car auction the following week.

Gotta pay for this stadium somehow!

Tower cranes no longer needed so off they go to allow next stage of the build. (Red crawler lifting barrel roof sections in)
