Homepage Update: Mayor's Bramley Moore Dock Open Letter To Evertonians

[Zezti]

I like to think of it like this: if the bid for the city to host the games is accepted, it'll be a lot more pressure to get the stadium done. It would be much harder to stall/quit so I would imagine the bid makes it more likely for the stadium to get built.

Yeah, and I also said 4 steep stands, 58000 capacity and no running track.

One of these things has already come true. As will the other two.

Why would we want to change the design, when it's not being designed for athletics, nor is the design being compromised in any way?

If there's going to be a running track, temporary or not, then surely it's designed for athletics.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Do you deny climate change exists too, and think the earth is flat?

Swear you're on a wind up.

No I just have severe concerns.

 

[DerbyshireAndHarper]

Meaning no steep stands behind a goal or any stand.

It's not possible that any design which incorporates a track, doesn't compromise the design.

That's not true at all.

A crappy little photoshop/paint job that serves the purpose of explaining how our stadium will look like before, during and after the Commonwealth Games:

The pitch in dortmund is 105m long.
Athletics track is 177m long.
That means the track extends 36m up both end stands. ie more than halfway.

Are people seriously calling the architect a liar?

What makes you qualified to call a world renowned architect a liar?

@tommye

Well actually none of those have come true yet, as no designs have been made available let alone built...

The feller is having a 'kin mare.

I do understand the need to worry however but we
Have to trust what the architect says regarding this.

A question I was pondering was would we be entitled to funding to go towards our stadium being built if it's to host the games? Could give us an extra few bob to build it into a top class stadia

Also it has to be a 55k minimum capacity or I'll be gutted.

Let them bitch on then internet. They're irrelevant to the design process and once complete, the answers will be clear to see.

@tommye

When you say 4 steep stands are you thinking that the corners will be filled in or not?
