I’ll go first. The irregular width of the brickwork panels means the left and right edges of the crest line up nicely with a depression in the brickwork, but the central points at the top and bottom are off centre over the panel behind them...

I'm relieved to see they've got it central across that bricked section, because it wasn't on the Hill Dickinson promo render and that was making my eye twitch. Having said that, that is the West Stand, so there's still plenty of time and space...

*checks watch. 'sake. Finger on the pulse as always. Thanks though mate.

I first saw it from Paddy Boyland on Bluesky just after noon. Not sure if it’s his or not.

I'm afraid you'll have to reach back quite a long way to ask the guy who came up with it why he chose 'Nil'. Pretty sure he doesn't post on GOT, anyway.

It’s possible the exact opposite of what I’ve said is true, too: that the face is translucent plastic and the sides are aluminium. Looking forward to seeing the finished result in situ, anyway.

Yeh true, but from the designs, it looks as if the light is coming through. Well, to me anyway

Just seen this. Id guess some sort of plastic as the light needs to shine through

Not necessarily, at least the face doesn’t need to be translucent. The light could shine out of the sides.

Looking forward to seeing how these look in reality. It'll all be out the effectiveness of the lighting effect, I think. Are they white plastic or anodised aluminium or something, do we know? Hard to tell from that picture and the renders.

We're going round in circles here, so I'll just finish by reiterating that there's scope for things to improve if the reality is terrible. The situation won't just be abandoned by the council because the plan was written years ago.

I really don't understand why they don't just run a soccerbus service up and down Great Howard Street to and from the stadium and James Street. Sometimes the low tech solutions are the best ones. A dozen double deckers, a temporary bus lane, no...

Because it’s a test event and not the lived life of a match going Evertonian. If there are problems, it won’t be brushed under the carpet.
