Is the Canopy for the ones who’ve paid a fortune for the tunnel club thing - no one else gets that view.
The canopy seems necessary elsewise.

While it needn't be award winning, it's emblematic of how we operate. An item that is front and centre of our stadium and they put in zero effort. All it would have taken is:
- Get the colour to match the seats
- Have one specifically designed to fit the space. Look how far away from the edges it is:
- Have it run on a track so it doesn't come out on the wonk - again it helps if you have one designed for that space so these would be tucked up against the walls.
- Get rid of the branding on the top. if you are going to add something, it has to be done well.
Never mind their proper stadium. If you want something written on it, have a proper board like they have:
Could have gone just non-descript with a bit more quality and it would be fine:
Ours just manages to look like a cheap hotel that is trying to be posh, but without the skills or money to do it properly.
In the end it's a small thing, it just winds me up how we build something that is in the top 10 and then finish it with lower league standards.

Forgot to add the ironic bit, is we've put on it 'Only the best is good enough'.
Sometimes you can't make these things up. Hopefully they address it in the not too distant future.

Stuart Canvas are the company Everton used to manufacture the new tunnel. The exact same company Man City use.
We don’t know for certain if it finished yet either, if rollers will be added like Man City’s etc.
Also I don’t think there’s any guarantee that it will be extended when the players come on to the pitch. Often the entrance to the field is without a retractable tunnel & clubs often only pull it out at half time or at the end of the game, in case fans are ‘mad’ at those points.

Knowing my luck they will all be in the bloody North stand !
I know they could have installed a conveyor belt from the changies onto the pitch, so our warriors don't have to move before the game, never mind during it !

What is going to be the popular moan about the badges, once they are finished? I really have no idea?
Mainly because it came up on my feed yesterday and one of the comments went along the lines of 'Why are they doing this now, go out and sign players instead of this'. Can this be beaten? I believe this is the height of moaning and we should all aspire to reach such levels of moaning. Moaning about some guys putting up a badge on the side of the stadium and thinking they would also be part of the recruitment team and this job is taking them away from the important role of scouting and signing players.

The moaning is comedy, at times, but I'm pleased much of the fanbase is moaning: they're fed up with the snake oil that has been fed to them for 30 years. Many of the complaints are simply symptoms of frustration and low standards. People are impatient. I see it as pent-up energy that can be harnessed positive by these new owners when they get things right.
Honestly, I wish it was something as minor and easily fixed that irked me about the new ground.
The thing I dislike is much more fundamental and difficult - or even impossible - to change.
I cannot bear the diagonal lines the brick walls on the stepped plaza introduce. It goes against the entire right-angled-or-sweeping-curve aesthetic that defines the stadium. BDP Pattern totally blew it there, architecturally.
One day soon, you'll have your superior canopy... I'll be left in my melancholy, wondering what it'd look like with Meis' original vision.
I agree, mostly. You're right about the pent-up expectations, and it's good that we as fans still have these high expectations.
But it needs to be harnessed correctly, and it doesn't excuse some of the ludicrous stuff that's coming out of the fan base and has done for a while.
I couldn't give two hoots about the canopy. Yes it may not look great, but in the grand scheme of things it's irrelevant, and the criticism feels crass.
Right now, I want the club to focus its time, effort and money building the squad, because it is who runs out from the canopy that will make real change.
That doesn't mean you cannot have high expectations all over, far from it, yet rather my point is that sometimes we can't see the wood for the trees.
In the end... it's a fluffin' tunnel that within a week everyone will have forgotten about.
