Everton's new ground

Looks spectacular.

This goes on a bit but worth a view.

But what really intrigues me is as this is right on the waterfront, how on earth are the police going to stop away fans getting an unscheduled bath?

  • Looks great. Proper club Everton.
  • Hope we get to play at Goodison one last time..

    With the way Everton have been playing, we'll probably be in the same division as them within a couple of years.  

    As long as we stay up.

    It's got water on three sides and the fourth side has a bloody big wall running along the road that's only got three or four gaps in it/entrances. So everyone will have to go in and come out the same way, which sounds like a bit of a nightmare!

    Looks good though.
  • It's ok...wrong colour though!...🙄

    Reminds me of when Pompey wanted to build a stadium in the docks but then the Gaydamak money completely unraveled. 
  • Got to four minutes & thought WTF am I watching this for, that's why I got rid of my TV 15 years ago, watching shit for the sake of it. As a matter of interest how many will the "new goodison" hold ?

    Could be the biggest in The Championship the way they are going...

    Does this new ground have a designated section for away fans? Other new grounds seem to section a part off manned with a line of security staff.

    No, it's going to be a free for all. Personally I think that will work just fine. Scousers are well known for their welcome, wit and musical ability. There's never any violence up there, because they all used to be in the Beatles.

    Looks great, wonder if they’ll ever have a team to fill it?

    A lot of home fans will be interested, they don't all have showers up there.

    Agree, been to Goodison quite a few times, one of my favourite away days.

    That is probably 10k short of what it should be, they'll have a massive waiting list for season tickets and away fans will want to go.
  • Why the bloody air-raid siren at the end? Hopefully not some sort of premonition.

    I've seen more up to date videos on YouTube by again. Taken by a drone from all angles. And then answering questions from Everton fans about certain parts of the stadium & concourse. 

    Looks weird being so close to the water. Any trouble on the road side of the ground then you don't have anywhere to go.

    Might just be me but the new ground doesn't impress me. It looks like an upgraded Madejski stadium, they've tried to make it look different to the other recently new build grounds but for me regardless of the capacity it just looks like another identi-stadium.

    Looks great outside and bland inside.

    The laws of the game limit a team to 11 players, so no. Even if you add in all of the women's and youth teams i think they'd struggle.

    I haven’t looked recently but I watched quite a few videos by Dr Drone (?) which he produced weekly.  It was interesting how they removed the water from the dock by filling it with sand rather than pumping it out.

    They'd need to increase the capacity for Chelsea.
