New Everton Stadium Discussion

[wainy]

Yes. Any word getting back to management that they're unhappy and they're on dodgy ground.

BTW, 2 died in Liverpool just over a year ago on a LOR site in Liverpool.

Second man dies after Laing O’Rourke site accident - Construction Management

A 17-year-old man has died after spending several days in a critical condition in hospital following an accident at a Laing O’Rourke in Liverpool last week.

Same as any job really that though isn’t it?

Sad about that young lad, has it been confirmed it was LOR at fault?

You'll have to back that up with more than a statewment.

Where have people said those dock walls - designed to stop people getting near the waterfront for commercial purposes - mean a lot to them?

Similar to the way Welsh people now love the castles built by the English in Wales…
Another of your false assumptions

They dont love them. They see them as symbols of Norman oppression.

They were on their site. That's LOR's responsibility to keep it secure and safe.

No it's the same as any job. The accident and fatality rates on building sites is way higher than most other places of employment....that's why independent trade union H&S guidelines need enforcing. ...not some LOR flunky giving the go ahead to any work old environment that allows the company to cut corners.

What is the lemon yelling at now

Stop talking garbage Dave you cannot possibly know that

Now about this stadium….

Yes we all know accidents happen on construction sites, the risk is higher working above ground with heavy materials and machinery, and any accident is terrible for all concerned. Your belief that LOR deliberately allow corner cutting is just laughable.

The stats say they do. Their record on safety is horrendous.

Why are people supporting a money grubbing union-busting organisation here over both the men and women who are building this stadium and the union that seeks to protect them more rigorously than LOR ever would?

I cant believe that scousers need persuading so much to see it the right way. The club have leverage and can change this practice in a heart beat. They MUST do that.

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.

Now the concrete steps are on you really can see the scale of it.

That South stand... Guaranteed everyone will be going on about it when we open the doors

No-one one really goes on about the huge stand behind the goal at spurs... That's because despite having huge numbers, they don't have anything near the energy we have. Tens of thousands, but collectively a bit mediocre.

I don't think the street end gets enough recognition nationally compared to being in the stand. Maybe the way it's built with the overhanging bit, but the seething, boiling pit of anger within would be amplified ten -fold in a stand like that

Said this a few time, Spurs with its curvature gives it a friendly look. Also it's akin to that stadium Marsille have.

They should encourage all the singers and people who make an effort to get in that end, they probably naturally will gravitate to that anyway

I’m boring so will sit side on

Something needs to be done here. What is meant to be a positive thread with updates is, like most threads, curtailed due to someone who seems to have an agenda or enjoy causing distress. (If he's on the spectrum then I sincerely apologise).

 

[mahermi1]

Can we have our stadium chat back again Dave ? All this talk of, It will never happen, modern slavery, Knocking down historic walls, Windmills, now its Everton's fault there is no Trades Union on board with our contractor. Have I missed anything ? Anyone would think you had an agenda or would just like to moan about anything that comes to mind.

 

[formerly manx toffee]

I think the stadium will be a thing of beauty.

 

[Lobster Johnson]

Would we get to know with that lot?

I hope there never is. But LOR have a terrible record.

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?
