So many kopites will be getting launched in the dock after a derby defeat

Marvellous stuff

Love it but at 52000.

Can’t wait to go swimming in the water after we win the league there in 2023.

Won the league by christmas?

Have to say, after the 'blue wave' tease, I was expecting something more related...

...like an outer shape of stadium like that of a wave building upwards, all the way around, that lit up blue.

Or at least a wave-shaped roof.

Or at very least a curved stand.

I dont see the reference of a blue wave immediately.

That's because it's a retrospective name. Meis only started tweeting #BlueWave during the US midterm elections, when it was a hashtag for Democrat voters. Loads of people on twitter thought he was talking about the stadium and that eventually lead him to adopt the nickname for the stadium project. He probably liked the symbolic alignment between his biggest project and his political views, but there's not much architecturally that's very wave like.

Anyway, stadium looks more or less as expected from the leaks a few months ago. Smart, very intimate, nice mixture of materials, looks like he's made a lot of the location, and that fan area looks enormous. Can't say I love the very heavy roof trussing, but apart from that I'd say good job. Will look spectacular at night I think.

Get it built!

I just wish @Moomin was here to enjoy our total victory over @DerbyshireAndHarper

Dont see the issue with 52. We arent filling 60/65 each in week any time soon in my eyes and by the time we are, rail seating will be legal and we'll have 62,000 available.

Love the red brick and the wharehouse feel, again with the brick theme inside.

Currently bathing i the salty tears of all the reds responding to this while the rest of the footballing world applauds:

“wHeRe wiLl yOu pUt ThE tRoPhY cAbInEt?”

I see what they're trying to do by incorporating a warehouse design, but then they fuse futuristic with it...and it doesn't blend.


I'd like something with clear simple lines and rectangular. The Bordeaux stadium is aesthetically pleasing. It's simple but stunning for my money....

Looks like a greenhouse mate

1 by 1?

 

[Wat Tyler]

I like it. One thing I like above all is the closeness of the pitch, it's a proper football ground.

 

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

I hope to see this built, looks amazing and will propel us up where we belong.

 

[Brisan123]

Hang on. You were all for redeveloping the place yesterday.

I may invest in a barge with a licence for a bar, nice, laid back, unique way to travel to Goodison.

Or even a dinghy and a six pack for those on a budget.

I just need to stay alive long enough to make the first home game.
