For those who don't like it, I can appreciate that taste is a personal thing, and the new stadium was never going to make everyone happy. But please do me and yourselves a favour, and do the following 3 things: 1) Have a look at the Destination Kirkby video below. 2) Now look at the proposed new stadium video again 3) Go to the closest mirror, and have a word with yourself. What a shit tip that would’ve been. Thank you to everyone that put the effort in to stop that. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given it's placement we had the opportunity to make something iconic. Something to join one of the most famous sky lines in the world and we've just put an airport window on the side of a saucepan. For me they should have stayed traditional and fit for the surroundings. They've gone modern though which they'd get away with if it was blow your socks off good but it doesn't scream special to me. No wow factor and won't age well. 17 minutes ago, London Blue said: I love it, the concept is great, its going to look amazing.

Finn balor Posted July 25, 2019 Report Share Posted July 25, 2019 I used to live in Manchester. Few miles away from the richest club in the world Man City. Who has been near that ground? It’s a fucking shit hole. There is nothing around it bar an Asda and a tram station. There’s one huge old arse pub that’s it. There’s no trains near it no place for kids to play. It’s on its arse. Granted they don’t worry about that stuff. But this is monumental for our club our kids their kids and the whole of Merseyside. Maybe we will bicker about the bricks or whatever but think about what this means to our whole history and our future. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

City/the shieks have been brilliant for that area. They were ahead of us community wise when I started uni there about 12 years ago. 4 minutes ago, Finn balor said: Pete your missing the point.

Not quite the eyesores that have popped up like the echo and the Liverpool museum but still I wanted the club to be part of the skyline naturally rather than stand out for the wrong reasons.

I grant you the latest shite promo has a bit more water but dude, speak to yourself! Matt, got all the respect in the world for you mate, but you cant compare the two. Kirkby was a cheap Bolton stadium carbon copy, situated miles from Liverpool, or anything that resembled civilisation. Our proposed new home is on the banks of the Mersy, it will help regenerate the whole area, while the stadium itself has the fans seated close to the pitch, in high banked stands that will help preserve our atmosphere. In my opinion the design is going to be iconic, and compliment the tower already there. Remember that this is just the first design and there will be some changes. Realistically this is as good as it gets, and to me it looks pretty damn good. Oh and Dude? Matt are you channeling Borris or something?

Titanic hotel is brilliant, they converted an old building next to where Everton are moving and the atmosphere is worth the extra penny to stay there even though its in a derelict industrial estate, it manages to be classy. Meis Everton stadium is far from classy, far from taking the best from the area. Whetherspoons respect heritage sites more.

Pete, on Bramley Moor Dock there is nothing to convert, its an empty site, there is just the old tower, which we are keeping. I give Whetherspoons credit for preserving our architectural heritage, their chairman is a twat though. MikeO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
