[@davidbadcock2225]

Nick, thanks for the update but I am not sure how much more sympathy I can offer you when your fingers get cold as I've told you before to get touch sensitive gloves. Don't be stubborn, try out a pair, please. Great result at the Amex yesterday and I don't care how much the Seagulls whinge about the nature of the win. Two teams make a match so it's as much their responsibility for the 'quality' as anyone else and we needed the points more than they did. They're starting to get above their station, based on the their diet over the last few years, even if admirable. You're getting artistic with your determination to catch the sunrise in the SE. Great shots at 3:54 and 5:16 mins. PoI's: @ 2:56 mins, it's good to see how quickly the asphalters got onto site, laid the foundation for The Everton Way and got out again in a couple of days. It looks as though they will start laying the stones from the SE end, which makes sense if all the laterials are going to be coming in from the SW corner. @ 4:39 mins, we can see that the pontoons on the water channel have been moved from the SE corner to the NW corner, perhaps in preparation for fitting the last section of Capping Beam on the NW corner of the Lower Promenade (seen @ 4:21 mins)? @ 5:45 mins, in the distance, we can see that LoR are really clearing up the SW and West Quays around Nelson Dock quickly.

[@SpursDiehardsTTID]

The stadium looks complete. The next step is a few Everton Academy games in front of a limited of fans to be granted the necessary safety certificate for a full capacity crowd.

[@BarrySmith-vp1vu]

I popped over Sunday morning and the top gate was open for visitors so I was able to take some pictures from the north east gate. The stadium is magnificent, but seeing it in the flesh (before I drove up to Goodison) there are two really striking things you dont really get from videos, as superb as they are. The first is the sheer scale and size of the stadium itself, even from the gate it looks HUGE in the flesh. The other observation is the absolutely massive opportunity for the property owners there to turn that land and have it redeveloped. Apart from the old tobacco building, the area could be razed in parts and a massive retail area, hotels and leisure could revitalise it totally. It's a blank canvass fella and as you know it runs all the way back to the City. A lot of money to be made in the next 10-15 years im thinking

[@DuncTheBlue1878]

The owners of the land between the stadium and city centre, Peel, already have planning permission for the Liverpool Waters housing development

[@kevalino2]

At the beginning of the build there was a lot of talk of the smell from next door. I’ve been there a few times and haven’t noticed it but as you’ve been there 2/3 times a week over the last few years my question is; “is this an issue?”

[@joeblogg9937]

I think the compound in the NW corner and the gates in the fence will be a permanent feature. Not part of the UU site. They'll need somewhere to store mowers and the like.

[@DuncTheBlue1878]

Nope, that land is leased off UU temporarily and will be handed back

[@davidbadcock2225]

Joe: incorrect. The fence is the perimeter. All the ground maintenance machinery will be stored on site. The light arrays will be stowed on the West Quay against the north wall of the DNOC. The tractors, mowers etc will all be stowed in the huge 'Front of House' garage that lies at the west end of the North Stand Overhang, next to the Pitch Tunnel. Look closely on this video at 5:53 mins, you can see the black concertina'd doors between the two Blue Signs on the brick facade.

Painting the steel pillars and installing blue lights, apparently. Would be great if the club could actually tell us.

[@pleasantville4529]

I'm a bit puzzled myself. Has the stadium now been handed over to the club or not? Whatever that scaffolding is for, it looks to be a fair sized undertaking, and therefore not what you would expect to see, considering the fact it's been "handed over".

[@rosse6705]

​@pleasantville4529 Laing O'rourke who built the stadium have handed it over to Everton. The last 6 months on the job will be other firms and contractors. They will be doing things like Everton Way, All the Internal fit outs, and painting the remaining roofs once the scaffolding has been removed.

[@muckers24]

@muckers24 20 minutes ago Hi mate, I’ve been watching all the way through but this is my first question! Do you know if we are having electronic advertising boards between the tiers of the West/East/North stands? The CGI renders did show them being there? Also, any idea if the super riser in the South Stand is being painted blue to help it blend in and make it look more like one continuous tier? Cheers mate!

[@davidbadcock2225]

Congratulations on your Q debut! The visiualisations on the CGI videos are unreliable as they involve a great deal of artistic licence. Yes, advertising boards are expected on the tiers. Not sure about any plans for painting the south stand tier-break. I think most would welcome that even if fans then drape flags and banners on it. We'll probably just have to wait out for the full EFC Customisation phase to be completed.

[@danielbishton8669]

The stadium is magnificent but i think the initial capacity should have been 55,58 or even 60,000 as i think you would fill it atleast 50% of the time.what do you evertons think?i know it can be expanded but is the initial capacity of 52,888 big enough or would you have made bigger?

[@rosse6705]

Because the club was in a financial mess before the build and during the build. It also went 250m over budget. To add another 5-10k capacity on a build like this isn't cheap at all. You'd be talking anywhere between 150-300m. Most new 60k seaters these days cost around a billion. More than likely that would have put the club under. So if I was an Everton fan I'd be grateful use have even got a stadium as good as this with 53,000 compared to goodisons 39,000.

[@mikeoglen6848]

@@rosse6705 I wonder if those figures are correct there, rosse? What if they'd made the Stadium more Symmetrical and had a sloping Mezzanine on the North side? This would've meant no cut-away section on the stand and another few thousand seats? I am sure this would not have been such a significant extra cost.

[@davidbadcock2225]

Daniel: this was an incessant question, way back. There are always some who expect everything to be bigger and more costly when someone else's money is involved and at risk. It's always the same point with regard to government: you can always find extra things that should be done if you're not paying for it. I agree with Rosse's comments. FM was stretched to produce a budgeted £500m to cover the projected costs, never mind the unfortunate events with Covid and War in Ukraine pushing the costs to £760m. So, it's a saving (fourth) grace that they didn't push the boat out too far and drown the club altogether. The club carried out extensive consultation and market research and one premise was that they had to optimise profitability if the club is to stand on its own feet and not expect frequent capital injection. So, they had to identify the optimum balance between capacity and costs. The balance is set to provide maximum intimacy for intimidation and atmosphere, whilst also increasing the quality of hospitality and premium facilities, for permanent and constant use. The capacity can really only be increased by safe standing room condensation IF the government ever allows it.

[@mikeoglen6848]

@@davidbadcock2225 Yes, but think about how much "quality hospitality and premium facilities" would have been increased by having a Symmetrical design with a Mezzanine and extra seating on the North Stand...?

[@davidbadcock2225]

@@mikeoglen6848 Good Morning, Mike. If the stadium had been made symmetrical, the whole stadium would have had to be shifted southward as you can't build out over someone else's land (UU). In consequence, either the south stand would have had to be smaller, so losing the supposed gain at the north, or engineered completely differently on the South Concourse. This is a known consequence becasue the rake of the terraces are already at a maximum legal limit. The whole foundation of the stadium is based on the forces spread on the old quays and the bedrock below the old dock and that is some of the most costly aspect of the stadium. Your preference for symmetrical structures on this stadium is, in itself, not the answer to capacity constraints. The more the 'bowl capacity' is increased the more consequential facilites have to be provided, eating into the spaces providing other revenue and ultimately potentially ruining the atmosphere of the whole site, if it gets kettled in even more.
