New Everton Stadium Discussion

[arch stanton]

Just been down there this morning. Looks bloody marvellous.

Not too sure if mr drone picked up on it, but the roof trusses look like they’re being constructed on the temp structure in the middle of the pitch.

I went down too, couldn't see anything over the stacked up bodies of dead workers and LOR counting their piles of cash

Ahhhhhhh. That’s what that bloody big thing was blocking my view. For one minute I thought someone had put a big wall in the way of the stadium.

I’ve just watched the latest Mister Drone update video and our South stand is looking sensational.

One thing about Spurs single tier stand is it dips away either side, that wave thing a lot of grounds have now, and I think it takes away to how intimidating it is.

Ours will maintain its height all the way along and that will make it look more imposing even though it’s a few thousand seats smaller.

If safe standing regulations change, ours will hold 16k eventually in a tighter footprint than Spurs.

It’s going to be incredible.

All kite flying is banned during this period of mourning for Her Majesty.
Show some respect man.

You've quoted this a lot, Dave. I've been looking for comparative stats with them and other main contractors on large public/private projects and drawn a blank. Can you help me out?

It's not a competition. I said they have a terrible record. They have. You just need to take a cursoy look of the cases over the past few years to see that. They also take a different counting system to reporting their injured too, so comparisons with other groups will be difficult. They use a system called 'safety differently' which emphasises the count of fatalities not anything less than that. LOR are "demanding an end to the established culture of 'zero harm policies, and a greater acceptance of accidents as part of working life.". That leads to workplace H&S practices that focus on stopping fatalities...but that should be a minumum of any industry anyway.

Fair play, I'll have a read of their policies.

Has @davek approved the grass seed yet?

The angle for the seating looks pretty steep !

The first couple of the terracing supports have been added to the East Stand now too, she also is up and running. Incredible progress. Well done Noggsy.

It probably will be but I'm willing to sacrifice a stadium full of pot for the blues
