New Everton Stadium Discussion

i’m not even assed about this whilst we’re crap

Might have asked this before but here goes. On a match day who will be allowed past the dock wall? Only ticket holders or anybody who just fancies a pint with their mates? I suspect the former but I don't think I have read an explicit explanation of how things will work on a match day. Anybody know for sure?

Funny enough, I'm the opposite. BMD is about the only thing keeping me involved as an Evertonian at the moment.

Be positive about this Matty, its not a fix but it is a very positive step.

450000 cubic m. Ship carrying 3000 every trip.

Dock is approx 450,000m3. Shoalway can gather approx 4,500m3.

I'm guessing the Shoalway's hold volume of 4,500m3 is the sand and water combined. So the next thing we'd need to know is how much of that volume is sand, and how much is water....

12ft by 6ft mate. Basically a snooker table with the depth of a 3ft paddling pool.

Not sure a midfield two of Allan and Davies will be able to cover that

This is the one thing about Everton that almost exists entirely outside of the present. It's totally removed from the current on-pitch stuff for me.

In the same boat mate.

topical pun intended

I agree. We need Doucoure too - but he'd have to lie flat.

Right, and let's not forget the sand getting pumped in has a high water content (obviously).

I wouldn't be surprised if it needs at least double the 100 journeys the basic maths would suggest.

Absolutely. If you think about it, there will be footballers playing there whose great-grandparents haven't been born yet. It's mind boggling. I wonder if Evertonians thought 100 years ahead when we moved to GP?

I bet the first person ever to watch a match from the back of the Lower Gwladys was dreaming of this new ground with more than 6 inches of visible pitch.

I love the back row of the street end. Honestly never bothered me barely being able to see the other goal

Haven't been there for a long time. A good thing was that it was always toasty at the back even on the coldest winter days.

Would’ve been a blessing last weekend.
