Been wondering, are these two squares going to be giant screens?

I take it you're new here.

I imagine it will be "shut due to adverse weather conditions" a lot.

I think a big disco ball in the middle of the claw would finish off the tacky look in style.

Would match the disco ball statues of Kun, Vinnie, and Silva

Does anyone know how they space the seat frames, seats, and safe standing bars out so evenly and accurately on the terraces?

Do they use a metal template with holes in it to drill through of some kind?

If by any chance CP or SS could film that happening, that would be great.

Thanks.

At Everton they made a template and it was in one of Everton’s own videos about the time it saved compared to measuring each one so I would presume they would do that here

Hopefully jrb, either me or CP captures that. It's all timing I suppose. Cheers

I think they have to be off the site 3 days before a match so if I am right it is 3 days
