Everton fans will be watching us closely as they are planning on building their own stadium.
You think they’re gonna nick materials? Bit of a stereotypical view there fella. But we’d be wrong to dismiss it. Double security and everyone needs to stay on cam duty.

The stadium bowl looks incredible, us fans will be so close to the pitch. But how steep do the upper tiers look?... I'm going to shit myself going up and down those steps!!

Everton fans VERY impressed with our stadium, and some lovely words about our fanbase, too. (Obviously read responses)


Everton fans are usually fine

In comparisons, I am amazed the Liverpool fans haven't been claiming we are trying to copy them and that we shouldn't be allowed to copy their Kop

I think the World Cup stadium with the LED stuff inside looks very tacky and this is coming from someone who loves technology. I'm all for the outside being lit up and such but I'd prefer something more traditional inside with little modern touches. Much prefer our stadium as it than with such a massive wrap around LED board.

That one that @ravenspurs posted looks incredible though.

A problem with installing something like that as a main feature is that is will become dated one day. What then?

Interesting that we are proposing a new design as opposed to those used in Germany and at Celtic. Looks like this will not increase the total attendance.

Looks like all they do is just add the hand rail as and when safe standing is allowed.

Saves money in having to buy new seats etc

Edit: interesting they are also doing it in the away end. First I’ve seen that mentioned

Love the way that video pans round to the south and you’re like wow. Then to the east and you’re like wow and then the north and an even bigger wow.

pablo on ftl: a little snippet
a quarter of the seats have to be ripped out again because they were faulty. Contractors fault, so no cost to the club..but doesn't help the delay

How do you install that many seats before discovering a quarter are faulty?

Maybe sent back but ripped out sounds unlikely. If they found some faulty seats surely they’d be double checking before they install them. You’d assume they are checked before installing anyway.

I wouldn't think it would cause any delay whatsoever. As, according to what I've read by some on here, it will only take a week or so to install them all.

Just stick the faulty seats in the South Lower. By the sound of it the punters won’t be using them anyway.

How would a wrap around LED board go showing normal highlights etc? Surely it would either only be partially lit up (ie a rectangular bit) or you would miss (or compress?) parts of the shot? Would it only be fully utilised for promo stuff shot especially for it?

I’m starting to feel so much more excited now there’s a flash of green on the pitch area, even if it’s just the nfl pitch. Looks so much more real now. Absolutely amazing too, I’m just imagining safe standing in that south stand... if it’s 17k with seating, how much with standing? Two, three times as much?
