New Everton Stadium Discussion

[The binman chronicles]

They’re just visuals - but they do tie up with the planning docs - check part 1 and 2 of the Design and Access Statement, both the original and the addendum. These show all the level plans in one place without having to try and find them in the other documents. The differences are pretty clear, apologies I’m in my phone so can’t dig in to try and highlight myself.

So yes you are right we will have significantly amended internals at somepoint.

 

[Toffeeslam]

The app is wrong (I’m pretty certain), they’ve only updated the external view - the internal has been left as per the original planning submission which is not a reflection of the changes they’ve made.

forgive me if I’m wrong but the home end there didn’t have a concourse running through the center of it like we see there though.

from what I remember it was one large stand with no tiers

 

[H.H.]

You're correct. It now doesn't look like its a single tier stand but the gap between the lower and upper tiers is so small it shouldn't make much difference.

Where are the visiting fans being situated and are they also getting "safe standing" seats?

 

[maccavennie]

In the app they do not exist as you get that chunky wall behind the accessible seating in the corner that means the stands align better. In the little VR stadium they are there though:

Good spot mate and yes that is different than the inside of the updated app isn't it.

I had a look at the app again and I was half wrong, even on those you can see a dividing wall but as it's painted blue it is less noticeable. It's a lot smaller than what it appears we will have as that one only looks like it's at the bottom of the join.

Spurs single-tier stand has a divide running through it, as does ours. To state the obvious, they make virtually zero difference to anything.

The divide in the big home in is part of future proofing for rail seating in the lower isn’t it? Has to be slightly elevated so the seats in the upper section can see over people standing in the lower. Think it will barely be noticeable when full.

Yep.

The designs are superb and the location takes it to another level completely. Love the addition of the stairs. That side of the ground will look incredible from the river.

Tottenhams's south stand does have a divide. It's for wheelchair users, its about a third of the way up the stand, coming from both the east and west stands.
Behind the goal the stand is uninterrupted, roughly the width of one side of the penalty area to the other.

Agree with this. Just one point the ground will look incredible whatever way you look at it

Yeah, I've just looked at it. There's the disabled sections which run a good way in to the stand and then there's also a divide in those two blocks you've said are "uninterrupted". Looks like a walkway or something.

But this is all just insignificant minutiae that doesn't really matter anyway.

Very true that a little wall divide won't really make any difference and will hardly be noticeable. People get a bit hung up on the thought of having a true single stand.
