Even the ones at GP are casting of the original sculptures. The ones at BMD can be scanned and scaled up if you think that it is important for them to be absolutely unique.

Can't see why there can't be copies of the two statues that are at Goodison too. Icons of Everton FC's History should be at the new Everton stadium.

That's were I've gone for too. Always said that when I grew up I'd go sit on the sides.... I'm only 60, so this is the first phase of that. Sat behind the goal, same row as my season tkt for the first trial event. Moved over to my season tkt seats for the last 15 mins.... thought it was a much...

That also means they'll have access to the shared concourse that wraps around 3 sides of the ground.... which could be chaotic.

Lots of potential for the away fans of bigger clubs getting on this then.

Can't see why they aren't at both grounds tbh. People talk about Everton branding on the new stadium. These are Everton icons, this is the Everton Stadium. An absolute no brainer. Cast copies and get them on the plaza.

Shouldn't sponsorship deals appear in Everton's accounts also? At first glance, it does sound improbable that a company with those turnover/profit figures would sponsor a football club to the tune of £10m per year. However, if they see it generating far more business or facilitating...

I was, and I wasn't tbh. I could see why it was part of that initial reveal, to force a clear connection etc. It also reminded me of one those South American stadiums with the club name emblazoned on a mostly plain side wall in massive letters, as the only adornment...... and the clearest "our...

The original renders all seemed to show EVERTON in large letters on the south stand glass frontage. They seem to have done away with that and gone with subtlety, presumably thinking that exterior is a very distinctive design that will soon be known and recognised nationally/internationally as...

I got mine on Monday.... (thinking my son had already it sorted it last week). There were thousands left at that point.

It was clear from the start that this site was always going to be anti-car..... the stated required modal shift to public transport was a dramatic one, which appears to have gone over the heads of many drivers. The issue then, being that it was also a bit of a public transport blindspot...

The problem with lots of cars wanting to access the Love Lane and other areas off Grt Howard St is that it won't take much to gridlock the whole area. This happened before the last event with the strand and junction with Leeds St/Grt Howard St completely locked up. This stopped a lot of shuttle...

There's already a Sea shanty that mentions Bramley Moore Dock....

Yes, a real life test event of everything, including transport. Led to little or no protest from fans or club. Unless there's a real dangerous incident.... I think they'll probably comfortably fob everyone off. If it turns into gridlocked mayhem with ridiculously long dispersal times, they'll...

Yes, but there were some issues with less than half that number attending, and no real protest materialised on here, or elsewhere for that matter. Knowsley council were more than prepared to cap the capacity at Kirkby, which after getting what they really wanted (a shopping Mall) would've been...
