Crying out for a screed, that...

Looks to be a lack of windmills if you ask me.

Interesting that Everton now lease the extra strip of land from UU.

You'd think that in time, if the club wanted to bring the north stand up to the height of the other three, it's more likely because of that. UU are probably more likely to sell as they don't need it themselves.

United Utilities originally tried to get the stadium cancelled for some reason. Not sure how true it is but I spoke to a couple of project managers at LOR working on it and they are adamant about it.

I have a feeling it'd take more land than that to extent the north stand. It's probably there too if United Utilities were to reconfigure its access and exit strategy from their site.

The only vehicle entrance at the moment is though the north stand as well. Although I'm sure they'd find another way to do it.

There was beggars at Goodison too

I know. It just looks so stark these kids crouched down by the foot of the dock wall.

It's meant to look like this when it's finished...

Is that confirmed as a long term thing or just a short term thing while the build and signage etc are 100% completed?

You can’t beat row A being 40 yards back from the goal line!

The design in general. If that running track was seating it'd have a better capacity than Bramley Moor by a long way. Some of Bramley seats should include binoculars

Nothing new here but worth a watch anyway.

FFS, he's milking this stadium isn't he. Yeah, sketches on napkins...we know.

His explanations get more confusing as time goes by too.

He's defo added in this one about the window looking back toward the city skyline being an objective of the design and build. First I've heard about it.

Brilliant that. What a job he has done, given us what we want. Cheers Dan

I am personally highly pro-windmill. I think it is why Dave and I disagree on so many things. Irreconcilable differences I believe they call it in divorce proceedings.

Boats are made from wood, which comes from trees.

The lovable rogue is implying that its been so long since we won a trophy that the tree grew, was cut and the boat was made.

Pretty funny if you ask me.

It's a Kopite taking the piss. How is that funny?
