Yes I'm sure @Jacko93 is correct about the North lower being earmarked for safe standing.

Yes both lower ends were potential safe standing areas

Thought they announced weeks ago that 'The Prince Rupert' won the vote?

They only registered the copyright of it, nothing confirmed/announced. Just standard practice to do that

Who the hell would want to pinch that name and how can they copyright it given there's already a pub by that name in Newark ?

But they have said that the name voted by fans, had won the vote? So, it will be called that?

I'd imagine it would be reduced capacity if anything. There would be potential bigger segregation requirements than your usual 3k away fans. Although I appreciate there still tends to be more mixing of fans there is also more potential trouble.

Sorry that's what I meant, the "-" was a minus.

NEW Everton Stadium Bramley Moore dock Everton Way And Pitch Update

 

[balggy]

Wonder if we will eventually bid to hold a Europa League final at Bramley Moore?

Would be great. This Bilbao stadium is slightly bigger capacity 53,300. Nice ground and stands close to pitch.

Didn't the club say that they would be bidding for either the Europa League final or the Europa Conference League final, or have I imagined that?!

It looks massive from pitchside cameras. Hopefully BMD will look that imposing.

Is it not big enough for a CL final?

 

[UltraVires]

The thing that really hit me at the weekend was talking to older match goers and hearing their stories about goals and nights of great atmosphere.

It made me think that goodison has its reputation and affection because of the people that have been in there, previous generations.

With that in mind, I hope the club really emphasises at the first game at the new ground that it’s on every one of us and especially the younger generations to make Bramley Moore come with a similar sentiment in 100 years time. At Goodison we were always walking in massive footsteps, at Bramley Moore we make our own history, memories and legacy.

If I could fast forward a few months to the first game now, I would.

There were apparently only ~49k in for the final?

 

[OneTrueLegend]

have you seen Nick Knowles on site or something?

Claire Sweeney, she’s got form, used to do that “60 minute makeover” show with Craig from Big Brother

No, UEFA only look at 60k + stadiums for the CL final. I think if you look at the time the Millennium Stadium hosted the capacity that night was only 67k down from 73k after they make the alterations for the press and other guests they don't want in the general attendance areas.

That would mean we would drop under 50k and you can see why they want bigger.
