New Everton Stadium Discussion

[Goat]

North and South become the same- meh.

FFS, those white things are where my seats are, if I cant sit in my normal seat I'm going to support City.

 

[TheSpaniard]

Pretty sure one used to be significantly bigger than the other?

Still is. The angle on the photos in the tweet hide the drop on the north stand.

Have they got rid of this?

• A key feature is the “home end”, a single-tier stand that will have a capacity of 13,000.

Just get the bloody thing built ASAP

 

[GrandOldTeam]

So the below is no longer happening then?


What about the single-tier stand?
The South Stand looks hugely impressive, doesn't it?

Its close proximity to the pitch is something Meis desperately wanted to incorporate, as was how steep and imposing it will be to the opposition.

In total, the stand will be able to have 13,000 Evertonians sat there - which will certainly be an intimidating prospect for anyone making the visit to the blue half of Merseyside in the future!

Still there, the dividing wall between the upper and lower section looks to be larger though. This was in one of the original documents to have (legal) safe standing it needed to be quite a bit higher than the version we saw in the main drawings. Else you have to have a curve in the shape of the stand like spurs'.

I've dug out the original document and it appears we have gone for something in-between the 2nd and 3rd variations at the top:

It has been there for ages mate, here is a screen grab from the people's project app. It's disguised a bit being blue. It's just got bigger since:

 

[TheSecondComing]

Wtf why have they scrapped that?

 

[H.H.]

In post 66,758 above It looks like only the lower tier of the "single stand" has been built with safe standing in mind?

 

[orly]

There's a significant vindication for those of us who saw this as a bowl from the off.

 

[MickA]

The only images to take notice of are the ones on the LCC site. To my eyes the interior bowl looks exactly the same.

Real shame, that IMO.

My own fault for spending months gawping at this and not paying attention.
