Everton reveal new stadium images ahead of planning application

Check the link. Link

I think they may have actually published this video before? Either way, it's really impressive. This stadium is going to be fantastic.

Between Carlo and the stadium seeming to be progressing to the point of credibility, I just am flabbergasted.

Two and half weeks ago I was in abject fear of our direction. Now, I'm thinking of a top four finish in a year or two.

What the hell man? Rollercoaster ride for sure.

Very impressive either way, and with Carlo joining us on Saturday, maybe, just maybe our luck is eventually changing and good times await ahead.

The (virtual) players look a bit different too, don't remember the (what appears to be) near 7 foot tall player with a number two on his back! :-)

These press - they have no idea they're spinning a false story do they!!

Agree with relocation of car park and comments above... please ensure good quality sprinklers fitted to the car park!!!

Bit disappointed they have taken the EVERTON letters away from behind the glass.

Everton are getting ready for the bigger stage hopefully, the city of Liverpool, is getting ready to be transformed especially the dock areas, and surely better times are ahead for the both of us!

The official site says:

"Following analysis of the feedback received through the Club's record-breaking public consultation, and a range of detailed technical assessments, the stadium designs have evolved. The multi-storey car park has been relocated from its previous waterfront location and integrated within the stadium to create one impressive standalone structure, while additional environmental measures, including wind baffles, have been incorporated in the final proposals."

Now I am off to pick my jaw off the floor, what a stadium we will have.

It'll look like this: Link And so this is what the structure closest to the Mersey is.

Excited. Sounds as if it will take a wee while for planning permission to be completed, and the 𧺬m cited is a bit eye-watering but it's not my money, not the most expensive stadium around, and the finance is apparently secured.

ANCELOTTI. BRAMLEY MOORE DOCK. XMAS.

I love the designs, images and video but removing Everton from the stadium seems weird to me.

Nil Satis Nisi Optinum is back.

Higsons - you'll get no Chang from me.

Prices have already been published. 1s 10d a pint - 2s 0d if you want a Manns brown mixed.

Some day they'll put a Man on The Moon! :-)

Like everyone I love Goodison, but it's definitely past its sell by date, and although nothing ever looks better than the brochure, this stadium looks unbelievable. It looks like it's built to keep the noise and the heat inside, and keep the wind out, so I will obviously have to look for another excuse when my eyes start watering if I'm lucky enough to be there when it finally opens.

The removal of the overt lettering gives it a more understated appearance. and these images ooze class

I hope that if and when we get there we have a team on the pitch worthy of the resplendent surroundings. I'm now watching the transfer gossip avidly

In other news, Ibra's had his nose cut off:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50892046

Would have been nice to have the holy trinity and Dixie statues blended in.

(PS I know you're messing)

Impressed!

I finally made it to Goodison for the first time for the Watford match. Thankfully, we won that one!

I hope I'll get back to GP a few times before this new one is up and running

I hope that the BMD opening coincides with EFC winning the league!

NSNO.

Wonder if we'll be playing Champions League footy when it opens in 2024?

Stadium, elite manager, transfer spending.

Pretty soon we're going to be out of excuses.

Now where's the chippy? :-)

I think Meis might be a little disappointed with the incorporation of the carpark into the main structure as, architecture wise, it's not as clean or easy on the eye. On the App, there's still a single layer covered car park where the multi story sat but the new iteration is well ugly and looks like an afterthought.

I'd imaging from a cost perspective, placing the parking in the main structure makes sense and as it's not for the cheap seats, there should be no trail of leaked oil leading from Regent Road to the entrance.

I really hope there's a museum housing the Everton Collection somewhere in there.

Roll on approval and revealing how the hell it'll be paid for.

That said, a magnificent stadium in prospect and there is no way on earth this is not going to be built, so celebrate.

The club want it, the fans want it, the people of Liverpool have voted for it, and the Council needs it as part of their regeneration — so that's it.

As a wind baffle how about a grassed man made hill, somewhere fitting for the Dixie & Trinity statues, the Goodison Park, Howards Hill with screens for a Fan Zone?

I think I need a lie down!

Stadium looks awesome. A Gooner mate of mine was involved in this project from day 1 and assured me 100% that it would be happening. He had a meeting with Farhad Moshiri and Dan Meis and came away impressed with their commitment to getting this thing built.

All that is missing now is some elite players, our pull has been strengthened considerably by Ancelotti and this project though.

5 points in the last 3 games against teams we wouldn't expect to do well against given our current form.

A truly world class manager signed up.

A stunning flyby of the new stadium.

I'm worried I'll wake up and find we're off to Kirby and David Moyes has been given a 4½-year contract!

We can add on later, can't we? Using the Premier League Championship money.

That said, like others have already mentioned, in the fly-thru vid it's not clear to me just how and where the car park has been incorporated into the main stadium build.

No qualms one way or the other about the presence or absence of the big EVERTON lettering at each end of the stadium as in the original fly-thru video. With technology, lighting and lazers these days you can project pretty much any colour, image or message you want on the edifice of a building.

The interior concourse with its glassed views to the pitch looks amazing. And in this vid it appears to be a consistent two-tier stand structure, whereas in the original it was a mix of 2 and 3 tier.

Impressive. Now get it built and let the good times roll!

I believe 99 out 100 Evertonians would agree after the dust of glamour settled.

I love the fact Everton are to make it a tourist attraction, similar to the Albert Dock. Maintaining our maritime history and cashing in on it as well. It will have pubs and eateries on non match days to make sure, our investment pays for itself.

In the 80s, who would have thought the Albert Dock would be in the top 10 tourist attractions? It was a decrepit run down area, but someone had the vision to rejuvenate the area.

I wonder if there'll then be a demand for further capacity because other clubs will also increase their capacity through barrier standing.
I suspect there has been demand for increased capacity not for reasons of demand but because we'd be smaller than some other prem clubs.

Let all this capacity stuff be driven by demand and not by a form of penis envy.

Our loveable neighbours want to increase theirs from 54k to 61k. Their ambitions are only limited by logistics, ours by choice. However, I prefer to be realistic and recognise that beyond the Derby and Euro/cup games, an increase of 25% capacity is adequate. I'd rather be in a rammed 52k ground than loads of empty seats.

As I've said the FA are leaning to standing, returning to football grounds, this will cover the upturn in attendance if necessary.

The car park roof would make a great eating/drinking area, weather permitting.

But even if it was more it would be the same for every club, wouldn't it?
If we disagree with something then we're just moaners. Sure I will be happy with an incrimental increase as an alternative to the big jump. But no one should ever underestimate the demand.

Credit to Dan Meis and his team for listening and producing the goods. It far exceeds the best that I expected. It is more than a stadium, it is an iconic building for Everton and for the city, perfectly marrying the past, present and future.

Like it or not red brick is part of the fabric of the City of Liverpool and I think our architect has been very astute with this design. Here is a view of the red brick Albert Dock from the river (brings back many happy memories for me). Link

Have a look at the facade facing the Liver Buildings. It it very futuristic as is the roof which to me looks vaguely like the Hull of a ship.

Richard # 86 - I have a feeling that our new stadium won't be owned by anyone who is not connected with the club in some way. When the planning approval is given expect another big announcement on the finance.

It's not some futuristic alien space ship, it's a proper stadium that fits in and is classy so will age well.

So many modern stadiums look like cheap, grey, concrete car parks. This is blooming brilliant considering the rules around location etc.

The car park is now attached, it's the square block on the left / western side. Opposite side to the current accompanying picture at the top of this thread.

I have slight concerns about the weather i.e. strong winds, heavy rain, flooding but I'm sure (?) it will all be good.

There's is a general lack of signs and obvious doorways but again nothing to be concerned about.

I'm more interested in where the Everton shop, is, a potential museum etc.

Finally, I'm against standing zones at football stadiums. I think those days are gone and for good reason. Until they can stamp out all the other negative and unwelcome behaviour threat goes on e.g. racism, throwing of objects and general scumism I wouldn't trust the people in charge to get it right or take appropriate action should something terrible happen.

Suggest you look at the way it has been done in Germany. Safe... and good for fans who want to stand.

I thought we bought the land off the Peel Group for ٣m?

We signed a contract with Peel to lease the land for a peppercorn rent on a 200-year lease.

The contract only becomes "live" once the planning application has been given the okay and the money to build the stadium is in place.

The stadium is more on the seafront than the river per se. The River Mersey never floods in Merseyside. And if you worries about rising tides, take a trip to Southport and take your binoculars to see the sea.

You have no need to worry.

Is this true, and if so, why no protests about keeping the club in the city?

The Liverpool Docks are very much a part of the city. Tens of thousands of dockers through the years will tell you that.

The "someone" you spoke to wasn't a kopite by any chance?

I'm not from Merseyside either, and more knowledgable men will inform you, but just a cursory glance at the map has believing your source may have ulterior motives or be a pedant of the highest order.

Edit: I've also googled the city boundaries and Bramley-Moore Dock falls within the district.

When Bramley-Moore Dock was built, there was no Merseyside.

The new ground is probably closer to Liverpool City Centre than Goodison Park is.

When Everton proposed Kirkby, us proper scousers! have down the years sarcastically came up with the phrase “Kirkby, near Wigan” and although it was only a piss-take, it might explain why a lot of people were dead against moving Everton, out of the City, into what I would call “no-man's land”

Think Bolton Wanderers, and look at the problems they have encountered since they moved way too far away from both their spiritual home, and their city, and this I'm sure is one of the reasons the people of KEIOC, fought so hard for their club.

I was very suprised to read that the Dixie and holy trinity statues, are remaining at the Goodison Park site and will not be moving to Bramley-Moore Dock.

Anyone else heard this and thoughts about this?

I would prefer the statues be at our new ground.

Sounds like you were talking to an rs arsehole mate!

Seafront? Hardly mate. It's almost two miles from the mouth of the river and looks out at almost two miles of the Wirral peninsula.

Eric, was just making the point that they'll be "choked" at our shiny new stadium... on the waterfront... jealousy is such a wasted emotion...!

The anti is upped now, and I'm sure with time, and patience, Carlo can turn the tide and start creating good history for EFC.

They are bolting on to their meccano pigeon loft scheme, Everton is starting fresh, at BMD.

New dawn, new era, and fresh hope, like we've not had ever in any era, in terms of money, and manager calibration.

Yes history as we know very well, but I see Carlo, is no mug, and will take no prisoners, in the quest for success.

To Burnley and victory on Boxing Day.

Pretty sure he thought that beyond the walk at the docks is Merseyside. Wouldn't have a clue myself.

The concept of making it a tourist attraction might rankle some, but I think, too, it's a very savvy move.

I can tell you I'd personally pay for a tour, and I'd eat there and have a beer (or four) in a pub on a non-match day and make an afternoon out of it.

They need to just pimp it out, in a classy way, and maximize revenue.

It's Christmas today, but that's what it's going to feel like for this part of the city everyday, once this regeneration gets kick-started by the mighty blues!

Just read a clip with Alan Stubbs, saying how great it would be if Everton are playing Champions League football when the stadium opens, and this is the type of bandwagon we should all be jumping on right now!

In fact, get over here when it happens Jamie, and those first four bevies will be on me, along with Lyndon and Michael, Mike G, Andy Crooks, and Laurie Hartley, I'm going to start saving now!!

Why have I got fond memories of that visit? I think it was the connection of the raw passion between the coaches, the players and the fans who were grouped around the dugouts. It captured an essence of football, both mud and boots real and dreamily ethereal at the same time. I think I caught a cold too.
