New Everton Stadium Discussion

[davids]

Absolutely spot on.

When the ribbon is cut on Notre Dame's re-opening, Everton will release yet another supporter survey.

I've a feeling that survey will be about a change in badge.motto or both.

 

[PhilM]

just cant see it happening.

its getting very close to final design for planning permission.. and its all very very quiet.

im thinking there could well be hundreds of small / minor revisions and even some very major ones...

I could be wrong but there are always leaks and snippets before big designs get released

Perhaps interference by certain local organisations, who are playing a key part in the entire process, may have played a part in a delay due to such amendments.

Fully expect Notre Dame to be fully restored before Bramley Moore opens.... or evem starts

I fully expect a successful manned mission to Mars before they break ground at BMD.

A bigger organ?

Oooooohhhhhhh Matron!

First images of new 'landmark hotel' that could tower over city's waterfront

Liverpool's iconic skyline could be set for a new landmark

So our stadium has to look like it ‘grew from the docks’, yet monstrosities like these are planned in arguably the most important area of the city?

The new ferry terminal is the worst.

Something doesn’t sit right with all of this

I don't actually mind West Ham, feel sorry for what the owners have done to their club and Upton Park was always up there with Villa Park as my favourite aways

Easy my favourite away soon changed when they moved

The Museum of Liverpool and the Mann Island apartments, too. All horrible buildings.

Our stadium would a mile or so from this key area. Are the club fighting back enough on this issue?

Erm, Everton? Fight back? You must be new here

As always no

Maybe it's to do with the fact that BMD will be the first infill for quite a while.

No the clubs advisors are letting Historic England, English Heritage & UNESCO drive this. Look how long anything takes. Over 5 months since last public consultation & we have no definitive date for 2nd consultation. No renders because we are scared of anybody from the 3 bodi s taking exception to them. It’s a joke.

Have you seen that "iconic" and "huge" hotel they're building next to it?

It's the size of a travel lodge and looks like one. Wouldn't surprise me if it is.

So much mediocrity is being approved on what should have been a chance for the city to be ambitious.

 

[Philw]

BMD is a nice size, but it's essentially the wrong way round because you don't build stadiums East-West (there are a few exceptions but not many).

Why is this? Is it to do with the sun getting in ppl's (keeper's) eyes? Would be a lot easier to do E-W! Was having a look at the stadiums in London and they all seem to be just off N-S (true N-S maybe?).

The only thing that safe standing/rail seating will guarantee is that there’ll be a couple of thousand old farts moaning they they’re standing up

You know you will be able to choose whether to go in that area or not right??

Initially main stands were built in the west so that the majority of people had their backs to the sun. In modern times the same principle exists but also benefits TV cameras.
