MikeO Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 Pretty common now in the us. Playing in the rain can wreck the pitch and spectators get wet. Wimbledon now has them, right? Only on Centre court, and that's only because tennis stops when it rains. Part of football is playing in all conditions for me, not even sure the FA would sanction the use of one.

J*A*C*K*E*L*Z Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) So the news is that... Bill kenwright drives past walton park sometimes and thinks it would be good if we built a stadium there... Yes that would be good Full story below http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/everton-plan-build-new-stadium-7776712 Edited September 15, 2014 by Jackelz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 It all sounds very interesting but is likely to stay pie in the sky for a good while by the looks of things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted September 15, 2014 Report Share Posted September 15, 2014 (edited) I like J's ideas. Personally, one big end stand. Steep and high like J said, intimidating as possible. Id be happy with the other three sides being bowl/joined if we had one really impressive end stand. The other three stands to have corporate seating in a small middle tier, like wembley and emirates have. The granites that have been set up at GP to be continued all around a new stadium, the full way around. A museum, with the full Everton collection on show. Parking season tickets. On site parking, booked season long or game by game for each space. Could be a good money spinner. Do not have one of them plastic pull out tunnels, or a corner tunnel. Centre only. Any tiers that have a frontage to have the Leicht design visible to take a bit of GP with it. Some sort of nod towards the church, maybe call the stadium St Luke's Park? I've had plenty of other thoughts but can't remember them all. Edit: A tower incorporated into the corners if possible. Businesses around GP given first option on possible fast food stalls/shops/pubs outside new ground if legal/possible.

Newty82 Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I'm not getting overly excited just yet. Not after the waterfront and tesco shambles. It's good we are still hunting. And I would love this to come off. But no plans, drawings, models, surveys...finance!!! Forget this one until something more concrete comes out.

Bailey Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 I would like to build a house in Hyde Park too as I have walked past it a couple of times and I have often thought it would be a great place for a house. I can't afford it now and I have no plans of how to finance it but I thought I would just let you guys know.

Great you have fucked up our plans now, we're gonna have to try to relocate somewhere else. Obviously if your thinking about it then it's going to happen.

Matt Posted September 16, 2014 Report Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) Awful "leaked" design on facebook and twitter here. nearly made me throw up. Dont think its that bad, just incredibly impractical. Don't want it though I still really wanted something similar to what was proposed to Barca several years ago: http://www.cnplus.co.uk/news/images-barcelona-fc-stadium-at-sea-plans/5205577.article#.VBhG0FBJPIY Obviously into the Mersey instead. Idea I had was to link up with the group who want a hydro electric plant in the mouth of the river (because its one of the most powerful tides in the world apparently), but it was always going to be a pipe dream (might've mentioned it once or twice!)
