[@alexanderbrydone9873]

The stadium looks stunning easily the best most modern stadium in the UK. F. A. take note some England games here please 🏐🍀🇮🇪👍🏻C. F. C.

[@tomoreilly9932]

It's really mesmerising to think this was a water filled dock.i've followed the build from the beginning,with the dredger bringing sand in from the irish sea,to what we see now.what a great feat of engineering to get it to this,laing O'Rourke can be proud of this beauty.

[@steveasplet4391]

Can't believe that the Hydraulic tour is not going to a pub with a terrace bar, would have been amazing in the summer.

[@Andyvale32]

very good vid the new stadium is spectacular. I can't wait to watch us play our first game 😁

[@davidharrison6310]

Handover must be near !! Stadium looking spectacular - another great video Nic! COYB💙

[@paulacaplen6758]

Keep it up great viewing again. Mister drone

[@davideadie4414]

That last one is a fantastic idea, I know I haven't got a chance for a ticket at the last ever game at goodison and would love to watch it at our new home

[@philwoodstv]

Anyone else think the stadium looks incredible however the inside bare roof and roof structure could have some sort of cladding or architect design to make the inside look better/finished?

[@JamesLFC-hk1fq]

Top video nick 👍

[@frankjudge3328]

Thanks Nick top guy as always great information about the stadium.

[@bluenose1744]

Thanks Nick, great stuff as usual UTFT

[@steveasplet4391]

Brilliant idea to live stream the last game at Goodison, I would fly back with my partner from Marbella, in fact walk back😊

[@johnjordan3768]

Great video,cheers Nick👌

[@chriskeller4563]

Another great video Nick thanks for sharing an thanks for all the update information 👍 😊 UTFT

[@SeymourScagnetti]

Cleaning the south stand windows. Definitely getting ready for handover.

[@azul41]

That section of the flat roof has already been screeded? It's definitely a different shade to the other parts.

[@midlandjedi]

Not sure if it is just my bad eyesight, but the roof at the South East end (10:27}, where they were sweeping up looks grey, and a diffrent colour compared to the North East end, where the scaffolding is. Does this mean this area (SE end) has been screeded and its just the main roof, over the club shop, and the NE end roof that needs to be screeded ? Again, aplogies if its just my old eyes

[@SeymourScagnetti]

Looks like it’s just been cleaned to me, ready to be screeded.

[@DarrenCowzer-cx7ot]

It looks as though they applied a light grey screed, I wonder would that be a base coat, as we've been told that the final finish will be a darker grey?

[@karlcotgrave7028]

When it comes to the grass seeding an area that big can take a couple of go overs

[@ritahamblin1043]

Yes that's a grate idea especially if it turns out to be Everton v Liverpool. Wouldn't worry to much about the edge or the pitch it will come and the advertising boards are still to be put around the pitch. Can believe that Q,. Asking you to go voyeur 😂😂😂😂😂.

[@anfieldroadlayoutintheloft5204]

good vid on the channel thanks cool vlog thanks for vlog

[@gerrymcalinney3504]

No, they want the full atmosphere at the old Lady(bless her)

[@davidfogg1845]

Did anyone notice the crane where the office compound is, it looks like they were removing some of the yellow container offices on the left as you see it from the front of the stadium, great video Nick

[@petermorris5957]

They are the portakabin boxes for the new contractors who will be carrying out the commissioning work on behalf of the club- installing the Everton Way etc etc.

[@davidfogg1845]

@@petermorris5957 oh ok thanks

[@johnbrown5897]

Hi Nick, great video as ever, during the bit wher you were talking about the LoR offices,there was a crane and some yellow containers,are they being removed or installed, don’t seem to remember them being there previously

[@andymd357]

New containers next to the laing O'Rourke ones. Do you think they could be for when Everton take over the site and thats where the workers will be.

[@stephenpodeschi6052]

Yep your watch along's have been grim goal wise for us Toffee's and the next few games are going to be challenging for all of us. Hopefully this will change....lol

[@steveasplet4391]

As for the waters oozing in, it will have vacuum pumps that should have cut in automatically, maybe they were not in service, a mistake by the developer, as it was the perfect time to see if it is up to the job.

[@jinxyryan8625]

Nice work Nick, Where is the club museum mate ? Or will they add one later down the road. Cheers mate.

[@JayEFC1969]

They might be potential sites for statues but Everton have not detailed if there will be statues there at opening.

[@pipinn6728]

Great work, Will the helipad next to the river only be used on match day. That's a big H for some big helicopters 😮

[@IanConcannon]

Not sure mate. It might be air ambulance only.

[@catchepicair]

I would have thought the scaffolding was to protect the stadium from birds roosting so installing netting and limiting perching opportunities. We seen it done near the end of the Anfield Road shortly before handover.

[@pleasantville4529]

The materials on the flat roof in the north east corner don't look like "tube and fitting scaffold" as some suggest. It looks far too large in diameter for it to be scaffold, leading me to think it may be the permanent RWPs for the vast roof area. Up to this point, I can only assume that there has been some temporary rainwater system in place.

[@richarddoyle1878]

Hi Nick, how about using your contacts at the club to move The Derby to be the last game at Goodison, Imagine the emotions!

[@andyhopkinson1639]

Great video as always Nick. Does anyone know if we'll get notification of where our stones will be placed on Everton way? Keep up the great work, you've been part of the build as much as LOR 👍👍

[@craigwooton1030]

You would hope that we get some sort of foot print area where our stones would be laid

[@DarrenCowzer-cx7ot]

Yes - it was confirmed in an email a long time ago, similar to the Fan Wall - you'll get guide coordinates, there would be a crush if 22,000 x people had to search for their's without it.

[@liammerrick6399]

Have we had a close look at the lower seats either side of the tunnel in the north west corner in a previous video i missed? They look a bit squeezed in from a distance.

[@JimLightfoot-h1c]

I'm gonna miss Goodison.

[@LeeStewart]

Are the sides of the pitch angled up on a hill like at Old Trafford or is it completely flat?

[@DarrenCowzer-cx7ot]

It's relatively flat, as there is an advanced multi layer drainage system beneath the surface.

[@davideccles6498]

The LANG O ROURKE offices 🏢 🤣 could be turned into CHEAP HOSTELRY for MATCH DAYS ONLY just a thought keep up the good work 👏 😊UTFT NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM

[@PaulPritchardJones]

Hi Nick. Great video once again. Once the stadium is in use next season will us fans be allowed around the stadium area outside or will it be closed off unless there’s a match or event?

[@DarrenCowzer-cx7ot]

The Stadium area will be open, the Club Shop is in the centre at the front, there will also be bars and restaurants and function rooms etc. The Western Steps may be closed off in bad weather etc.

[@IanConcannon]

Statue. No, lets just have "that cone".

[@edithdeblois7848]

Hope we don’t have problems with the pitch like Ajax had when they built there stadium

[@DarrenCowzer-cx7ot]

They're expecting 10 or 15 years with issues such as settling, the pitch will need heavy work for each of those years, especially as it's a reclaimed Dock.

[@Efc88]

Viewing gallery 😴

[@harrisondarby6044]

The pitch still looks bad and the grass on the edges looks weak

[@craigwooton1030]

At least 5 months for the grass to grow before it will ever be used

[@garethparry6673]

18:25 that mark on the pitch made by the tractor looks like a tear drop shape, is it a prediction of the future? 😂😂. The grass shouldn’t be an issue as Everton have until July time to get it fully covered unless they dramatically decided to move earlier. which I can’t see ever happening.

[@grahamcook9289]

Mate, your eyes look terrible. R U sleeping ok?

[@misterdroneuk]

I’m fine thanks mate 😂👍🏻

[@grahamcook9289]

The pitch still looks shite mate.

[@JayEFC1969]

Good job it's not needed till next year.🤷‍♂️

[@paulhewitt6614]

Absolutely rubbish to say the rain system isn't fully connected, why not. One thing you do as early as possible is make it watertight. The things almost done electrics are in and it's all painted. The thing clearly isn't working properly

[@davidmorris5053]

Agreed. Why risk damage to the completed concourse bellow. Has there been any damage. Also they don't appear to be having the same issue with the west stand.

[@azul41]

Hi Nick, can you have a look at the edges of the pitch. The area beyond the artifical grass, is the blue strips gravel?

[@vapeymcvape5000]

5:29 East Stand barrell cladding still has diamond shapes missing. It's the first thing visitors will see and it looks terrible. Hopefully "construction complete" means they'll not be there anymore.

[@richosborne2154]

They are for ventilation and will not disappear. Neither should they. I mean, if that's the biggest issue you can find, I'd say they've done an incredibly impressive job. Still, I suppose some moaners will never be happy! 😂

[@DarrenCowzer-cx7ot]

As Rich said, they're air vents, there will be catering facilities below these, and there are far more of them on the West barrel cladding, where there are more restaurants and cooking facilities.
