Popular Post duncanmckenzieismagic Posted June 18, 2023 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 18, 2023 Was doing a COSTCO run yesterday so popped into the BMD boozer and had another little nose and got to say it’s coming along nicely ! Last time I went down there a few months ago I just drove straight up to the Bramley Moore pub but a section of the dock road was closed for road works about a few hundred yards before you get ther coming from town So don’t know whether I just didn’t notice last time or whether the other docks redevelopments are now gathering pace. Particularly around Stanley dock and the tobacco warehouse , a few new (to me) bars and eateries popping up already StevO, Romey 1878, MikeO and 5 others 7 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proof that even a Labour Council knows how to embrace commerce for the greater good of the people.

Goodison Glory Posted June 28, 2023 Report Share Posted June 28, 2023 Club statement is either the middle of 24/25 season OR start of 25/26 season. I think they will choose the latter. Less disruptive and allows for a major marketing event/launch and an appropriate curtain closer on Goodison. Let's hope that our concerns about BK sticking around for the new stadium opening are not true - Everton never fail to surprise me but surely there is no way he can stick around until August 2025!

AnotherYank Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 Just because there haven't been any delays doesn't mean there won't be, but if the construction, testing, and whatever else is finished and the stadium is 100% ready to host matches by January 2025, I just can't see waiting another 8 months to move in.

RuffRob Posted June 29, 2023 Report Share Posted June 29, 2023 It would be rushed to open it mid season - I think start of 25/26 is probably the better option, as there is some breathing room in the construction delivery programme. Much better the Contractor has the time needed to get the best possible finish rather than potentially cut corner to meet a tighter deadline. We have waited a long time for a new stadium so no need to rush the final 6 months and sneak in mid season. Seeing some of the video from the inside, it does look like it is going to be a very intimate stadium. Meis is very confident that its going to offer a great atmosphere. Moshiri era has been a absolute disaster on the pitch, but as much as I will lambast him on the footballing side of things, he is certainly delivering on the stadium front. This stadium is going to be with us for a very long time and up to now I am pretty proud of what going on at Bramley Moor Dock - since the initial conception to the build progress.

Cornish Steve Posted July 4, 2023 Report Share Posted July 4, 2023 While it's nice to watch drone footage, I can't believe how slow is the progress: It's a snail's pace in slo-mo. Here in Atlanta, for example, a new football stadium was completed in a matter of months. Not ten years later, they were already planning for its replacement. Mind you, entry fees are much higher, which probably justifies it, and they generate significant revenues from renting out stadiums for all kinds of events.

From breaking ground to opening took three years, three months and seven days (according to wiki). That’s one of the most impressive stadiums on the planet, not to mention it cost about three or four times the amount Bramley Moore will cost. 10th August this year will be two years since breaking ground at Bramley Moore. 12 months ago it had barely any concrete.

I’m thinking of its predecessor. I confess that I didn’t look up the actual time to build and am basing my comment on memory. I shall look it up.

OK - I went back and looked, and my impression from the time was wrong. The predecessor to Mercedes-Benz Stadium was the Georgia Dome - and it took three years to build. It was replaced 25 years later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted July 5, 2023 Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s going to be an amazing stadium but I still think we’ve gone too small with the capacity. It doesn’t even equal a lot of stadiums in the league currently and other clubs will eventually go bigger also. For example, Villa will be redeveloping to 60K. I don’t think it’s going to help us as much as we hope it will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the stadium is looking awesome and I’m a bit obsessed. Its about the only thing that has kept my sanity Everton wise for the last year. I might be in the minority but I can keep the two things separate and still appreciate even with the shambles of ownership, board and the teams performance.
