StevO Posted May 27, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2023 I’ll have a look into it, happened a couple of months ago but was fine again the next day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted May 28, 2023 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2023 I’ve deleted Mister Drone’s midweek videos. There are too many for it to load smoothly, so I’ll stick with his weekend videos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted June 7, 2023 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 In the last four weeks I’ve been on two holidays (not bragging, family holidays and now a wedding rearranged because of the war in Ukraine from last year) so I’ve only really been free for about five days in between. I’ve not had much time to upload the videos, but this weekend I’ll be home and back to normal. Sorry for a load of missed videos, and thanks to Matt for uploading some.

Palfy Posted June 17, 2023 Report Share Posted June 17, 2023 I’m preferring the official footage now we are getting to see the progress of the internal works a lot more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. Id like to see a walk through of the stands, though most of the work has only been done inside the west stand so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted July 24, 2023 Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 What I find disappointing is how the lattice work on the brickwork panels is hardly noticeable, in all the recent footage I have seen you can’t pick it out they’ve made it that subtle it’s disappearing. Now I know it’s not going to spoil people’s enjoyment of the stadium, my problem being if you are paying for something that brings a piece of the Old Lady’s famous lattice design to the new stadium then at least do it justice so it stands proudly out. Many months ago when we saw the first panels laid out on the floor in the factory I said then when erected they wouldn’t standout, I said then that they should have used a blue engineering brick so it stood out like it does at the Old Lady, I also said after a few years of natural weathering it would become even harder to distinguish. So all in all I find that part of the design finish very disappointing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevO Posted July 24, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2023 The lattice brickwork isn’t visible on the drone footage, but I’ve seen some photos of the stadium from the ground up close and it is a lot more visible. If it’s almost invisible then it was an expensive mistake. Dan Meis has commented that it’s not as obvious as he would like it to have been, but maybe when it has weathered a bit we may see it clearer. I do wonder if the restrictions to meet planning may have had an effect on the shades used? They tried to only use shades that are on the other historic buildings.

The one thing that made me sit up and listen was that we will have the steepest terraces in Europe, I’ve been to the Nou Camp a couple of times and thought their terraces were scarily steep and the higher up you were you felt like you were sitting on the edge of cliff. If I’m lucky enough to get a season ticket I might ask for the cost of a lap belt to be fitted StevO and Matt 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most definitely, also our last day at the Old Lady is going to see most Evertonian’s in tears, it brings a lump to my throat just thinking about it.

Palfy Posted March 3 Report Share Posted March 3 This may have been recorded and posted in the past, but does anyone know what the expected weight of the Stadium will be once finished.

After a brief Google, Lumen field in Washington weighs 5,200 tonnes. Surprised me as I expected a lot more than that for a large stadium.

Surprised me as I expected a lot more than that for a large stadium. I don’t know why I asked to be honest, I think it may have been that it came into my head when I was reading about the compressed sand and the piles driven into it to support the stadium the other day. So there must be an estimated weight for them to have calculated the amount size and depth of the piles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there must be an estimated weight for them to have calculated the amount size and depth of the piles. That makes sense. But the sand isn’t taking the weight. The sand filled the dock, but the piles went much deeper than the dock bed. 20 meters I think they are. The north and south stand aren’t built on the sand either, they are built directly on the land (on the piles obviously). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted March 13 Report Share Posted March 13 That last official stadium video was one of the best I’ve seen, I’ll be honest I don’t watch many of the Mr Drone stuff anymore, don’t get me wrong they served there purpose especially in the early construction stages, now I want to get inside the stadium more and on the ground level view of what happening and what it looks like.

Me too, I’m more interested in the things we can’t see. I want to see progress inside the stands. Maybe I want it because I can’t see it. I’m obsessive with this build so I watch everything. Since they have been talking about the pitch construction starting in May, I’ve thought that come the day the turf goes in it would be great to invite drone flyers down to film it. Have 20 or so camera angles of the pitch going in, it could be a real viral moment for the build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
