New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[PhilM]

Ah, I see we’ve entered the latest round of ‘stadium isn’t finished’. How lovely.

The physical stadium is finished and has been for a while; a fair percentage of the hospitality got their licences this week, so are now ready for Roma.

The outfitting of the signage etc., which are contractors with nothing to do with LOR, isn't done yet, but it isn't needed to be operational.

It really will be all hands to the pump over the next couple of weeks as all the HD branding will have to be up, all the Everton banners and any finishing touches applied ready for Roma/Brighton.

If only it had been pointed out that the football season starts in August four years ago, someone might have planed to have it finished and ready by the end of July at least.

Absolutely, 100% spot on. But folk do love a moan don’t they? All will be done for Brighton.

Good old 'Benj' crediting the guy who made the video.

I wish they hadn’t done this. It will look jarring, and crap. Should have left it grey.

How when they hadn't been fitted ?

Im sure on the video with the light show you can see them illuminated.

Those around the pitch have; the advertising boards between level 0/1 and 2 haven’t been finished and fully integrated.

It’ll look better.

It’s the same blue as the seats, and the rest of the stadium will have the advert boards separating the two tiers.

The bare concrete would leap out much more than the blue.

They've started painting the wall that divides the South standing/upper.

Interesting that they are double-heighting the fence adjacent to Nelson Dock.

They’ve obviously had another think about what some fans might think is a good idea in a moment of post-match hysteria.

Always wondered how visible it would be with a full house anyway, the lower bit is safe standing right, so most people will be stood for most of the game (I would expect / hope) so always wondered if those concrete risers would even be that apparent.

I find the disabled sections more contrasting tbh.
I thought a row of blue seats along the back wall for additional family / friends of folk in that section would be better but apparently such thoughts puts me in the same bracket as Stalin, Hitler and Saddam

Or more likely depression

Personally, I think they’ve made them too tall.

Perhaps it’s a regulation thing, but ideally - from the first row of the upper tier - you’d want the back row of standing to have a head height similar to a seated row without the riser.

It will look better but its hiding the problem of there being a wall there in the first place

How intimate is that meet and greet for £4000? Would expect at least a tug for that.

It includes one. Unfortunately it will be the result of an error from Michael Keane.
