As much as I am behind Luton this season, surely it is in our own best interests not to up be against the Toffees next season should we fail in our current efforts?

When Leeds went down with huge debts in 2004 it took them 13 years to get back again. And look at Ipswich. A huge club⭐⭐⭐ with an extraordinary history. How long has it taken them?

Creedence Clearwater Couto 1,286 Posted March 19 Really nice looking stadium and position is unique and adds character. Can't imagine easy to get to, although I'm sure transport connectivity has been considered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chicken 2,627 Posted March 19 King Power, Stadium MK... many look fairly similar due to the requirements of things like health and safety so access to escape routes for seats and ratios of things like routes, and toilets, per person in the capacity of the stadium etc. If you want more characterful, it probably requires a bit more money to an architect to be creative with designs. Something that comes with a fee and will likely slow the build. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pyro Pete 1,897 Posted March 19 It's a decent new stadium. The distinctive exterior design gives it quite a bit of character. I'm sure they're also hoping it will lead to more investment in the local area. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Google Bot 3,278 Posted March 19 Wonder what unique way they will fill your £8 pint there, will it be from the bottom, from the side, or wirelessly transmitted? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't imagine easy to get to, although I'm sure transport connectivity has been considered. It’s further away from the city centre that I had realised, about a 50 minute walk from Lime Street station according to Google. The route would take you through the city centre, passing by the Albert Dock, Tate Museum and Pier Head, so plenty to see and do on the way. Loads of good pubs (a lot less than £8 a pint!) and restaurants too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't imagine easy to get to, although I'm sure transport connectivity has been considered. It's actually closer to their "metro" system station than Goodison. And as it is closer to that line, consideration for a Bramley Moor Dock station is on the agenda. Also closer in walking terms to the City Centre by a good mile as well. I've been watching Mr Drone's regular video updates on the build on YouTube (I'm a bit of a stadium nerd, Simon Ingle and his books are like the bible to me). Here's his latest one: NEW Everton FC Stadium at Bramley Moore Dock. A Full FlyAround on 15.3.24. Extra Close Shots!!

shefcanary 2,410 Posted March 19 I've just read on my Google home page that the firm responsible for the cladding of the outside of the roof has gone bust. Given the unique nature of the cladding it might be a major problem for them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, but I guess Google has picked up my interest in stadium construction and Everton's new stadium in particular. Strange world. #modernlifeisrubbish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thingy 36 Posted March 19 Here you go, how about Carrow Works for a new stadium. It is on the opposite side of the river to the current stadium and could have stadium bars etc overlooking the river like at the new Everton stadium? https://www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/24191907.norwich-city-council-set-reject-carrow-works-project/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
