Hot Wok at The Dock?

Not sure to be honest, my lad told me they will call it the Hot Dock, don't know where he got that from

Should be plenty of options around BMD soon enough. Right outside there is 3 bars being built right next door to each other. The Terrace bar, Bluehouse/Hot Wok and the Old Lady.
You will then have the Holy Trinity Marquee on Terrys Timber land. Of course there’s the Bramley Moore pub. Couple of hundred yards south up Regent Road, there’s Murphys Gin and Ten Streets Social. There’s a few other small establishments up the side streets. If you don’t fancy them, 25 minutes walk into town (that’s how long it is from Denbigh Castle) Black Horse from GP is probably about 20 minutes walk.

Where is the terrace bar and where is the Old Lady? There is already a pub on the corner which seemed open, the royal crest I think it was

No, UEFA only look at 60k + stadiums for the CL final. I think if you look at the time the Millennium Stadium hosted the capacity that night was only 67k down from 73k after they make the alterations for the press and other guests they don't want in the general attendance areas.

That would mean we would drop under 50k and you can see why they want bigger.

As magnificent as our new stadium is and as magnificent as the location is, I do think they were short-sighted to go for 53k.

Would they allow safe standing for European events? Wouldn't that bring it up to 60ish?

It really was, especially when you look at other grounds. In 5/10 years time, we won't even be in the top 10 biggest grounds. I get what Dan Meis kept saying about wanting to keep intimate and not wanting to have any empty seats but there's definitely a case of if you build it, they will come. And just imagine if we start doing well, tickets will be like gold dust

Surely that’s the point of limiting it to the current capacity though?
We aren’t doing well but hopefully they will still be like gold dust, otherwise it will look like the Emptihad until we are.

I understand why “bigger is better,” is such a prevailing attitude. I’m not immune to it myself.

But I think BMD is going to be something of a different beast.

It will be full of Evertonians and very few tourists.

I’ve heard West Ham, Spurs and City fans all complain that the tourists heavily dilute the atmosphere with low-engagement and phones out filming all game. That’s been a decades-long problem at Anfield and Old Trafford, too.

The truth is we’ll never know what the other side of the capacity / atmosphere coin looks like, until and unless the stadium gets a chunky extension.

having been in to BMD for the second test event, I think the capacity is bang on. Of course on paper the number of 55k+ would look better but the feel inside is of a big but compact stadium and it will be full week on week (save for the odd evening carabao cup game)

UEFA don't allow safe standing in their competitions. Dortmund's capacity goes from 81k down to 66k for European games.

We should have built it bigger but in the circumstances, it might have finished us off if we had to find another £200m to build say a 60k.

The difference in income for that extra 7k isn't game changing, it's roughly the wages of 1 decent player (if they are all sold and you don’t get too many kids/pensioners on concession rates).

Stadium size ultimately won't be the difference maker unless the bottom falls out of the TV market.
