New Everton FC Stadium - Close up like never before! - Bramley Moore Dock -

[@SlowBamboo-o5h]

For Everton fans, you are lucky with your club owner and congratulations on this new stadium 💙

[@davidbadcock2225]

Nice one, Colin. I hope you've had a great Christmas and I wish you a Happy New Year. PoI's: 1) @ 3:13 mins, it certainly looks like quite a few lighting strip units in damp cardboard boxes. The scaffolding looks as though it'll be going higher and the platforms are doing one or both of two jobs: a) as a higher temporary contractor access or b) a form of protection from work that will continue above. 2) @ 4:50 mins, it might be interesting to have a very, very short, closer look at what work is going on with the other scaffolding, on the buildings on Regent Road, opposite the North, vehicular entrance. 3) @ 5:56 mins, thanks for that 'special ' chance to look under the overhang, showing how wide it is for vehicles 4) @ 7:41 mins, I am curious as to what the new structure is on the middle-front of the SE roof area. There's definitely earthing cable laid across the SE corner area, attached to the steels. I expect to see some new activity up there, especially as they have laid an area of protective matting on the plaza roughly below that. I agree that it's a layer of paint, but why is the SE corner singled out for earthing, I wonder. There are definitely electrical cabinets on that roofing, both under the barrel-cladding but also on the exposed area behind the castellations, as you can see the conduit running along the base of the East Stand Mansard Roof to the new structure in the middle of the castellations (seen again @18:36 mins). 5) @ 14:29, it was interesting to see where the line was between granite and tarmac under the mezzanine.

Thanks, I had been planning the trip for a few days but the fog not lifting for days wasn’t helping, I had tried 2 days earlier and successfully got the scaffolding and underneath the north stand and the fog suddenly got thicker and I couldn’t see the stadium from regents road so ended up having to give up. I had planned a nice low flight along the plaza until the security guard decided to walk along it! Hopefully now people see how little space those two cars took up under the north stand there will be no more questions about the team coaches fitting under there! Will keep an eye on what progresses with the scaffolding and the SE corner, it was good to come away with more questions than answers.

All the best Colin mate thanks for all the updates 🎉🎉🍺👍

Brilliant footage,thanks 👍

Marvellous :) The shot of the reflections at 15:30 would make a good desktop wallpaper!

[@Tyler_N13]

Not sure how many times you can say to people, who say it looks unfinished, that it still is unfinished 😂

[@johnrochford4633]

It is beyond belief. Some of the comments seem like they are from people who have literally never stepped foot on the outside world.

Another great video mate and would like to wish you a happy new year .

[@gjh997]

Thanks Colin. Have a great new year 👍

[@joelhibbard1482]

3:46 I was thinking they were lights too, I really hope so because the north stand needs some!! 👍

[@davidbadcock2225]

Joel: although lighting is one of many possibilities, those potential units are nothing like the other lighting units on nthe E, S and W sides. The North Stand doesn't need a whole lot of lighting anyway as it's not really on display to people on the ground or from prominent viewpoints. The E, S and W views are way more important. Like anyone else, I watch with interest to see what develops.

[@mikeoglen6848]

It looks like there is a surprising amount still to be done when you zoom in on the roof areas...

[@stephenlinden-wyatt-ys8vy]

Thanks Colin, hope you had a good Christmas and happy new year.

[@andywilliams7761]

Thanks for the great video updates Colin on this project and the Etihad. Thanks for pointing yourself out where you are standing to shoot this, can you do the same when you are at the Etihad too.

[@KickstarterRadio1024]

Happy New Year to you!

[@AI_PM]

8:37 you’re right these are earthing cables for lightning conductors, it did look from a distance that this were joints in a sheeting material but I think not now thanks to your zoom.

[@davidbadcock2225]

Yes, I'm certain they're earthing cables, as one can see clearly they are affixed to the steels. However, it raises another question altogether: why are they needed in particular at that corner roof? Look closely and one can see that there is a separate electrical control panel and conduit near the edge. There is also a new, probable temporary structure which has appeared almost attached to the castellation of the brick facade and a large area of protective matting down below on the plaza nearby.

[@bryanroza7527]

That scaffolding going up is possibly to finish painting to all steels you can see there a lot of primed grey steel still to be finished to white to complement the other end of the stand.

[@14dollars]

The zoom in shows that the roof is actually a bit of a mess and needs cleaning up asap.

[@stormytempest6521]

It worries me....the roof, the curvature I hope is right, rolled brushed aluminium am sure of it, hoped it's locked together right, c an get some Big blows of the river, we all know that ! also metal hates salt air, work with metal, all going well she should be fine.

[@zapre2284]

We don't kick off in it till August. There's plenty of time for that man.

[@johnrochford4633]

You do realise that there is still 6 months of work to go on around the stadium?

[@X-llllllllll-X]

Have you seen the blue lights getting brighter at night on the barrel cladding? I hope the engineers designed for that because the lighting doesn’t look right.

[@davidbadcock2225]

All the units have about 20 separate LED's in them with remote control for varying brightness and spread. I recommend patience.

[@ianomalley3054]

Pretty sure the material on the south east corner roof you were wondering about is conduit for cables of some sort. Either power or control or both if it's PoE.

[@rich-lr8vo]

Colin what is the area next to the dugouts with the small single row of seats for?

[@MysticMagic2000]

Thanks for the excellent video, appreciated. What struck me is the finishing, at the moment anyway, in some areas is very poor for £750 Million?

[@stephenlinden-wyatt-ys8vy]

That’s because the stadium isn’t finished! LOR have handed the keys over to Everton but they are still on site to complete their work, oversee snagging issues and then there are independent contractors still working.

[@rosse6705]

It won't be completely finished for another 3-6 months. It's just that the main contractor has pretty much done everything they need to do, now they hand it over to Everton who have other firms coming in to do the remaining jobs.

[@Luke-z6p]

For a club who's primary colour is blue I'm surprised the lack there of.

[@paulmarsden8384]

What is the black rectangle area on the floor to the South side of the blue brick seating in the South East corner ?

[@cp-overview]

No sure, I machine it’s some sort of floor protection that’s either still needed or just hasn’t been taken up yet

[@JayEFC1969]

Hopefully Everton or Peel will actively manage the trash collecting in the dock.

[@davidbadcock2225]

Hmm, I too was wondering how that will play out.

[@cp-overview]

I only noticed that when I played it back, you would also think on a match day that even more will accumulate so I would imagine regular cleaning will have to take place

[@daviddelaval6630]

I assume they're negociating about who will finish the job, and when ... I hope it's all okay inside ...

[@johnrochford4633]

It is already under contract and has been handled.

Grey stuff is two part epoxy which is rolled on with brushes

[@cp-overview]

Wouldn’t it be rolled on with a roller?

[@MrCocky73]

that fake brick work takes the look of what is a cracking stadium,the roof and inside looks really good

[@Sutty0151]

It’s not fake brick mate I thought it was at first but theirs actually a video showing how they done it think the company was called sevenfields

[@philw87]

It's real bricks set on to concrete panels which are hung on the steel and concrete structure. The bricks might not actually be holding the building up but they are definitely not fake

[@stephenlinden-wyatt-ys8vy]

As mentioned, they used real bricks, cut them half and mounted them onto frames. This reduce costs of bricks by 50%

[@nickwatson2167]

Like most uk stadiums , it looks mazing inside but outside is absolutely hideous

[@rosse6705]

Most people are saying the opposite 😂 looks great on the outside but very average looking on the inside haha

[@chmartin444]

Awful design looks like a giant bar code. .

[@chegueveracastro4303]

I saw in a video the other day that this stadium was getting a lot of rain, you would be a disgrace if it opened like this.

[@williamwatson228]

It 'was getting a lot of rain' simply because the drainage work wasn't complete in that area. We've had really heavy rain since then with no problem.
