Bramley Moore Dock Mid-week video with VoiceOver (16.11.22) (LOTS TO COVER ON THIS VIDEO!)

[@MF0567]

The white supports for the roof truss will come off once all of the trusses are connected together horizontally and are self supporting.

[@plums547]

Don't know if it's already been mentioned but the brick packs you mentioned look like it is steel rebars for the concrete that will be poured. It just hasn't been laid yet

[@scottwoolner4698]

Hi nick the question about the bricks on each corner......they are all packs of steel rebar which they will probably use on the next storey's of the East and West stands 👍

[@JayEFC1969]

Rebar for the concrete floor/exposed flat roof above the north and south concourses.

[@sparkymark68]

The 'piles of bricks' are steel rebar, used in the construction of reinforced concrete floors. They are taken out of the stacks and laid down and concrete is poured over them, forming a strong smooth floor surface.

[@Cammy3165]

I recall reading or hearing that the white supports will be removed as the roof will be self supporting once completed....I may have dreamt that though!

[@consettphil]

My guess on the white diagonal steels connecting to the 2nd roof truss on the north stand will be temporary to keep the truss vertical. I guess once it's connected to the first with horizontal steelwork, the diagonal steels will be removed.

[@davidhinchliffe4718]

The fan plaza looks like it will be built out from level 1 of the west stand with access also underneath it Those white steel diagonals between the northstand trusses will be coming out and horizontal ones going in above along with the roof panels

[@davidstanyer7289]

The white steel roof sections lying on pitch will be attached to the white open ends on south east and south west corners that will fill in the final roof shape

[@barry-clark]

The support steels going from the end truss to the first one are going to be temporary. Once the trusses are bound by the roof they'll support themselves. At the moment they are only connected in two places and will be top heavy so the diagonal beams are just stopping any movement until it is connected up.

Spot on mate

[@davegerrard4960]

Hi Nick, great midweek video and really interesting comments and questions, I’m loving the format/ platform you’ve developed for this coverage and it shows that the intro/outro doesn’t need to be on site…your time is better spent on your impending move…good luck with that too. The question on the stacks of brown materials on the corners - I think they are sheets of steel re-bars that will be used to reinforce the final concrete pours on those concourses. The precast concrete sections are lifted into place and then final finishing is a kind of screed that needs reinforcement to keep the structural integrity. Really interested in the views on the final design. For me, I’m really happy with it, it will be our unique new home, the location on the waterfront is perfect, the close proximity of steep terraces around the pitch and the acoustics built into the design will recreate some aspects of Goodison, the main architect has put so much important detail into the design to link old, new and emerging concepts that it will be completely recognisable as ‘our’ stadium. Proud Evertonians will add that finishing flourish I’m sure, when we get in there…

[@JayEFC1969]

West Stand will be completed ahead of East. 3rd floor is going on West Stand East is still on 2nd. No bricks on site. Brickwork is prefabricated offsite.

[@arthurmoore2166]

Looking fantastic, great drone footage Mr Drone.

[@arto679]

Those white steels set diagonally on the truss are just sway braces and will be temporarily. The truss is self supporting anchored on north west and north east corner .And will Eventually tie in with the other corners .

[@davidmcbride7684]

Nick great video again regarding the design of the stadium, I’m more than happy with it but what I will say the design had to fit with its surroundings which was part of the overall bid to build.

[@davidgow9678]

The red/brown packs look like steel for reinforcing the floor before covering with cement.

[@allisonmchugh5998]

I think the interior of this stadium will match its futuristic exterior, it will give our players pride and confidence, that is not to say Goodison hasn’t, I just think she is tired, and we HAVE to move onwards Thanks Nick💙💙

[@tonycurran5376]

Hi Nick loads of great comments again, still shots now and finished shots exactly what I meant it shows the progress,the big white slabs between the containers I think they may be some thing to do with the giant screen that's going up on the north stand maybe some sort of background support

[@brianstewart3594]

looking at the flyby the brown sheets are the rebars packs for the floor slabs

[@craiggillham143]

Hi mate, I think that the central blocks so to speak are the supports for the Screen that will be fitted onto the last truss on the North Stand....I think there is one on the south too. I know EFC and Dan Meis said they would have the biggest screens in UK or Europe. The height of the blocks and the connections would look that way

[@markhudson7359]

Hi Nick Thanks for answering the question, it was the white supports I meant, they just seem very low towards the terracing maybe you have to see it in the flesh probably plenty of room! Keep up the great videos I’ll keep an eye out for the competition 😀🤣

Yes most definitely they will put that down then concrete on top

[@SwordBeach1944]

Do we know if the Archie leach brick work has been dropped from the brick design? All the current brick placements don't appear to have it. From the Everton CGI video. The pattern was interlaced within all the brick columns.

The two white panel shaped objects on the pitch area you were asking about look like pre-cast walls to me. Stood up on edge they have the sandwich shape we’ve seen before.

[@JayEFC1969]

They're metal though. Pretty sure they're roof related.

Great work again. Think it may turn out the connections between truss and terracing are temporary to stabilise truss until rest of roof and its bracing are in place. Otherwise the truss is like a massive domino

[@martinevans3021]

Happy to help you with any structural questions by the way

[@craigshelley6759]

I think those white horizontal steel piece attached to roof truss are temporary. Don't think they will stay like that.

[@gjh997]

They aren’t bricks. They are metal rebar grids that are placed on the floor and covered in concrete. Binds everything together.

[@paulvader7269]

The brown stuff is rusty rebar mesh.

[@vibrantmind9897]

[@MrBillybookcase]

A question we all need answering is, are you taking those curtains to your new house?😊

[@gazzoh]

On the stadium plans ground parking spaces are shown in the area between the west stand and the river. Where is the vehicle access to and from Regent Rd as there doesn't seem to be much room behind the north and south stands to drive vehicles?

[@grahambrandwood5905]

From the plans it appears that vehicles will enter through the northern most gate and travel through a one-way system along the northern concourse. I have seen plan drawing of the showing a 9.477m wide north concourse with room for a lorry and some pedestrians. On a separate document it shows traffic flowing into the car park from the North Concourse, and exciting through the South Concourse. Remember the concourses pass under the terracing and are a lot wider than it appears in the videos.

[@markmcdonough3561]

Knowing Everton, the roof will collapse in the wind when it goes up :) joking aside, great video Nick gives us some hope where the club is going in the future and creating revenue streams from other events also saw Euro 28 mentioned so that would be great if the Euros come to the UK

[@dominicboyle3485]

Think those white support you mention are temporary otherwise where would the next ones go to on the next truss. Is it just me or does the back frame at the top of the south stand lean out at a far greater angle to the North stands one🤔 I was told that the truss on the south stand will be put in before the other half on the North, although it doesn’t look like it to be honest

[@dominicboyle3485]

Roof truss going up in the south stand, so it seems like the information was correct, even though it wasn’t looking likely last week

[@tompybis4521]

Hi nick I wonder how many people are actually happy with the location. I think in the distant future if everton ever wanted to expand the stadium it would be with limited plans as 2 sides of the stadium is surrounded by water . At the moment I believe its capacity is around 52.000 is quite small considering it will be a new premier league stadium but I must admit it will make the skyline brilliant sailing down the mersey and seeing when complete .wondering on your thoughts of size and location .by the way I am happy for the fans as its been a long time comming and much needed . Thanks for the time your putting in doing these vlogs mate .

[@maxbarlow4408]

we will be relying on the government to pass the safe standing at a 2:1 ratio for the capacity to ever be expanded. Dan Meis did say in the original presentation their are detailed plans for expansion if ever necessary but a change in the law regarding heights of buildings in the area would have to be changed.

[@maxbarlow4408]

9:32 the design was put through two stages of consultation over 43,000 people responded in which over 96% agreed with the overall design. can’t get any better that that. there were certain restrictions in design due to the UNESCO status at the time which the designs corresponded too. This was always the case why are people moaning about it now? This is going to be a very unique stadium and there will be no other like it in the world. Look at City, Arsenal, WestHam all modern yes but have no character whereas ours will show the history of our city and our club whilst also embracing the new elements of modern stadia whilst keeping with our traditions of fans on top of the pitch.

[@monomono7077]

[@ianclarke3627]

Does anyone think that the actual playing area where the pitch will be will be higher than it is currently? , perhaps by as much as 10 feet ? .

[@davideeyore2002]

I had a good look at this for a while because I couldn't guage the start of the stands/perimeter, as you suggest there's a fair gap. If you look at the CGI animation video of the stadium I think the perimeter is quite low so I don't think the pitch will be higher. The video shows it as almost the last piece of the terrace jigsaw

[@grahambrandwood5905]

Remember the front rows of terracing have to be added so the seating will go down to the current ground level. The pitch will be a couple of feet above the current ground level.

Non runner - you'd need a proper floating landing stage - costs of purchase and maintenance for s few thousand fans per season would be prohibitive. Plus how long does the ferry take from Woodside compared to train from Hamilton Square ? Ferry commuter services stop around 6.30 as it is.

[@EVERTON_BULGARIA]

Is that true, that we dont have the money to finish the stadium?

[@liammerrick6399]

as far as the design goes, at first i thought its just ok and maybe a little simple, but watching it being built and seeing the term 'soulless bowl' used a bunch to describe so many new stadiums these days has really changed my mind 180. Bramley Moore is far from a soulless bowl. its compact, built with atmosphere as top priority, its not round and generic looking, Its totally unique. It has great design aspects like the huge windows and being able to see inside and the rail seating options, It pays homage to the local areas history while staying modern and it's right on the banks of the Mersey. One last point is the cost. almost a 3rd of what spurs' cost.

[@gjh997]

White posts are temporary. Both sets of trusses will be joined at the top so no need for them

I think as Evertonians you have to look back at how far the club has come in a long time and this stadium culminates Everton as a noticeable and worldwide football club and brand. It might look like the other modern stadiums but it does have a uniqueness but also epitomises the history of Everton Football Club. If we look at other clubs who've not changed stadium, this is going to make Everton and Liverpool as a whole stand out.

I think the stadium will be great but I think it could have been better. I don't think people moaning (ironically) at people like me moaning about the stadium quite get the point. I think the capacity should have been more and looking at the east and west as they're being built it's clear you could definitely add a third tier on them. Which may have in turn increased the height of the roof but not necessarily (take a look at Old Trafford's main stand and roof SAF Stand). How that had another tier added. I think the majority of fans wanted 60,000 plus lots of survey's supported this but the club still went for the lower option.

[@JayEFC1969]

I agree future expansion options are limited but you can't look a gift horse in the mouth - the site is a certain size & another tier would mean another £100m spend I'd guess plus the planners restricted the build height. Even billionaires have budgets and would want a rational business case for 60k. Let's fill this first !

[@JayEFC1969]

No chance this stadium will not be completed in my opinion. So much money been spent on it so far that even if Moshiri had to sell at a loss some other billionaire would pick it up at a bargain price and finish it and make themselves a packet.

Sunderland, Southampton, Leicester, Reading, Middlesbrough etc. I'm a Hibs fan, but have a soft spot for Everton having been to Goodison a few times in the past. I know there's doubt being cast on the ability to complete the stadium, but I wouldn't worry if I was an Everton supporter, if there's one thing the English premier league has proved its there's no shortage of folk with deep pockets willing to buy the clubs ... no matter how bad a recession gets the world never runs out of billionaires looking for vanity projects and Everton are certainly attractive enough.
