New Everton Stadium Discussion

It still is - well the largest brick built warehouse. It was at one time also potentially the largest building in the world in terms of m² floor space.

Back in the late 80s and 90s, they discovered a torture chamber on one of the higher, abandoned floors, which was most likely used by local criminals.

Just a compilation of videos of us trying to get a corner past the first defender will do it

Looking at the most recent drone videos - excellent updates, hat-tip to those responsible - are they recycling the brickwork from the old warehouses either side into material which is then being trucked around as a foundation for the fan plaza? Looks to be the case.
So we will be walking in across some of the old buildings previously on the site. Nice touch and good re-use of material on site, green credentials of the project ticked off.

I can just picture it now:

Evil Villian "Do you like it when a team scores a goal from a corner kick, Mr Bond?"

James Bond "Of course. Who doesn't like seeing a pin point precise cross, met by a striker leaping like a salmon, bulleting the ball past a despairing keeper. The sound as the net bulges"

Evil Villian "Then prepare yourself Mr Bond. As Everton fail to get past the first defender time and time again"

James Bond "A premier league club? Ha, do your worst. There can't be more than a handful of those before it's trained out of them"

A few hours later....

James Bond "Oh god, please make it stop"

Evil Villian "Had enough already Mr Bond? Disappointing. We haven't even made it to the videos of them trying to find a team mate with a throw in. What about 1998 Mr Bond? Carl Tiler, Marc Hottigar, I could go on Mr Bond...."

James Bond "Noooooo....."

Like it but the work seems to going ever so slowly.

Not sure about that.

For what it is preparation work , I think they are really cracking on with this mate.

Exactly.

It's not chucking up an ugly conservatory that looks completely out of place.

We're building a football stadium in a 10 meter deep pond.

Takes time.

Is the Shoalaway back up and running yet ? Seemingly we have employed the Fabian Delph of Dredgers..

…my mother-in-law is 93 and was brought up in town, she often talks about it.

What does she say about it?

 

[Eggs]

What does she say about it?

….where the river historically came up to. All of those buildings around the Strand and beyond were built where the river once was, so this reclaiming of the dock water is something that been happening for a long time.

What an amazing site it is. I was certain they would find unexploded bombs, I can only assume they did metal detection and had divers.

They had Royal Navy divers searching.

Proper Everton that we've missed one and it'll go off just before we win a trophy

If someone woulda told me twenty years ago I'd be spending my whole Sunday afternoon watching sand dredging videos I'd have laughed in their face, but here I am... NEA
