New Everton Stadium

[maccavennie]

have you Nick Knowles on site or something?

Got the boys in, local community all chipped in. I just gave them a sob story that our old landlord spunked 500m and was skint so couldn't finish it and that our new landlord was stuck in Texas and couldn't make it over until August.

Nick and his crew were more than happy to come in and finish the job off.

Need to get Anika Rice onto it...she always got the job done in time.

Cheers mate. What company was it that done the fit out? Have they been called back in or have we eneded up using a different company?

Can't say mate.

Can't say mate.

B&Q wasn't it?

Good folk at Home Bargains, can't see any of them doing a shoddy job when I look at the high standard of their shelf stacking

I believe that the first fit out was not up to snuff and they’ve redone it all

The badge on the dressing room ceiling has been redone at least twice

That was Dave’s fault, he had to moan about it didn’t he.

Hill Dickinson??
Why not John Player Special? With an all black and gold away kit. Now that's cool.

I don't like these naming rights. Look at Arsenal, with their 'Emirates'. They'll call it the Emirates years after the naming rights are gone.

If they have identified issues be they aesthetic and/or works-related, which need/want improving, then fair enough.

I have no idea whatsoever how long a full fit-out would take for a development of this size but it seems it's barely if at all started so at least they are not re-doing large elements of it.

If we need to wait until September for the first game it's not an issue but surely if it went beyond that, a lot of questions would arise.

 

[Del-boy]

First three games will be away. This will then take us to an international break. First game in the new stadium will be mid to late September. Hospitality/dinning sections still need a lot of work. Also still trying to sort an access road through the UU site next door for the owners/big wigs in corporate to get into and out of the stadium quickly.

 

[efcfanwirral]

We’re not going to play any more games at Goodison, where have you got that from?

Just the logical solution if they really do mess up the timelines beyond this first 3 away / international break rumour.

Is there a chance the stands could bend?

the Coral (Bill’s ex band)

the Coral may not be quite as seminal as the La’s but shedloads of platinum and gold albums.

I thought Bill and his band were great yesterday

His solo albums are all fantastic too. A star in his own right who has gone way beyond being ‘an ex-member of the Coral. And he’s produced Michael Head’s last couple of albums. Top choice for yesterday and I agree, he was great. He could have done without the totally out of sync fireworks going off during In My Life.
PS Always thanks his mate Leighton Baines in his sleeve notes

Those fireworks were hilarious from the upper gwladys. Obviously we couldn't see anything, just smoke shadows after the pops

Current state of the hospitality.

Knowing us that's probably finished
