New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Bluebonic]

Starting at about 5:00 some really good drone footage of the site.

Its actually a tad depressing seeing them docks now! When i was a teenager, i used to drive down the dock road with my dad in his car, and the lines of lorries waiting to get into the docks was simply endless! Heaving they were, such a shame, but hey ho, it is progress they tell me?

I think we've budgeted a fair amount for stilts so we'll be alright.

Nah meiss is gonna design a stadium that at the press of a button it rises up on hydraulics.... sea rises smeeh rises..

Ok may be an optical illusion.

Any guesses if the pitch will be side on or end on to the mersey?

...visually you would think it'll be better running side on alongside the River or at least at angle to show it off to best effect.

I've got 3 sets of arm bands and I'm willing to chuck them in with the kids still attached.

fair play mate, you've basically put in more than our luvvie Bill has. I hope he's reading this and is ashamed he's never offered to chuck a few relatives or Elstone in as some form of counter balance mechanism to keep it afloat.

This is what UEFA recommends....

When planning the orientation of the pitch, the primary
consideration is its position in relation to the sun and
prevailing wind. In Europe, a north-south orientation is
generally considered best, as it means that, in the evening,
the setting sun will not hinder the vision of one team more
than the other.

Assuming a north-south orientation, the main TV camera
positions should be in the west stand (main stand) to avoid
problems caused by the glare of the sun.

It is particularly important that any deviation from a north-
south direction is kept to a minimum if the stadium and
pitch are not covered. In such cases, the general rule is
that this deviation should be no more than 15° from the
north-south axis.

In certain cases, site constraints may dictate an east-west
orientation, although in general this is not recommended.
In such cases, special efforts are required to minimise the
contrast caused by some areas of the pitch being in sun
and others shade, and thereby minimise the impact for the
TV cameras.

Wembley is an example of an East-West stadium; that's why they always have problems getting the pictures right for TV.

Heaven forbid that anybody would have to shade their eyes from the sun

...but we're rarely on live and always last on MoTD so we should build it whatever way we want.

Remember the Fun House? Don't think they'd get away with some of "Rides" nowadays. The spinning disc thingy, the revolving pipe and the alternating stairs. Bodies everywhere!

Ha ha, that was insane - no way that'd be allowed these days!

I think they're just saluting the captain.

I hope we mark our first day at Bramley Moore with a KENWRIGHT OUT aeroplane banner.

don't need aeroplanes now Tim, just hire out the QE2 to sail by with a banner securely cellotaped to the side and that will do the trick.

Nah well keep the plane for Bill and have the QE2 pointing towards North Wales with a banner reading BRAMLEY MOORE IS OURS.
