Stadium Developments thread - San Siro to be demolished (p56)

[Chris-NCL]

Murrayfield? I doubt the Edinburgh polis would enjoy that, Your games would have to be every Sunday or something to avoid clashing with Hibs or FC Huge home games.

You’d think that we would likely be paired with Hearts, so we can’t play on the same weekend considering the two stadiums are streets apart.
I can’t see Hibs, and to a lesser extent, Hearts being happy with us playing there. You fancy going to watch a game in Edinburgh, which team are you going to see?

More top do with potential trouble. Chelsky, West Ham, Spurs would all be high risk even if Hibs weren’t playing same day and god forbid you drew Millwall at home in a cup.

Yeah I think it would be very much like Spurs’ solution where we build the majority of the new stadium, and only have to play a year or two away from SJP for the final phase.
The club hasn’t actually released plans or details yet, everything so far is journalist info.
Luke Edwards in his most recent article suggested that we could play at Murrayfield, however that comes with its own challenges. Although the closest city to us Northernly, it is about the same distance as Newcastle to Manchester, although it is quicker both by car and by train.
The club did hint that it won’t be an option recently though.
The stadium of light may pose problems with the policing, even if both clubs are willing to work together.
It all remains to be seen what the solution is.
I think they might try and do it so the majority of stadium can be used, and they will add the final stand later on.

Thanks, Chris. It's an interesting one for use. No obvious answer and, while my guess is that you may end up remaining at SJP until the new stadium is ready, that has the disadvantage of inconvenience and a reduced capacity for part of the period of the work. But there isn't really an obvious alternative.

Moving in for a bit with the Mackems makes sense from the perspective of conventional, but not footballing, logic. In other words, it's not that far away and the capacity isn't below your current figure by too much, but we all know as fans why sharing with such a bitter rival may be fraught with peril. Anyway, your directors are people who are used to making things happen, so there must be a decent chance they'll come up with a workable solution that will surprise us all.

I don’t really think that going to Sunderland is an option, purely from a policing point of view.
You would have just shy of 50,000 fans going there who some of them will already be drunk and there is always 1 who can’t behave themselves, on top of a city with the same manner. It just takes for 1 person to be an idiot and to start something, that sparks something big. You would also have to contend with the away teams supporters in amongst it as well.
Could you imagine how difficult it would be if say the season we ground shared with them, Middlesbrough were promoted into the Premier League? Could you imagine how much more difficult it would be if Sunderland were promoted to the Premier League and a derby was played at the SOL, but Sunderland were the away team?

I honestly think that they will do their best to do it so we can play with 1 stand being built over the course of a season or so, with a fast track demolition of Leazes end of SJP during the summer off season.
The only other realistic options other than Murrayfield, would be Leeds.

Good morning, this is my first post and I really didn't know how to start a new topic but maybe people can help me with an argument with my friend. Some years ago I believe either the Premier League or FA (I think Masters was involved) said at a meeting that Manchester City must be stopped from winning the league every year. Have I imagined this or did it actually happen. Thank you.

thought it was interesting seeing Barcelona doing almost complete rebuild of there stadium .
seems a lot of work yet to be done before any matches to be played there

 

[N1985]

Is that where the away fans are sitting inside that circle. Just to get us even closer to God. Shite stadium.

I think the previous PL head said we have a plan so a different team wins each year, no one in the media thought that was strange enough to ask what that plan was and how could they hope to achieve it!

Perhaps a load of temporary seats added to the Gateshead athletic stadium?

Zaragoza in Spain and Cagliari in Italy examples of erecting temporary stadiums whilst the permanent one is built. Although weather is a bit more miserable compared to those places so lack of roof would be more of an issue

See Everton fans getting same treatment as us on street parking zones

Fantastic stadium, to be fair. Thought it would just be another bowl of nothing, but it’s iconic in its design.

I worked and lived close by to that area in the 80s, good to see it given an uplift like this.
The stadium looks magnificent from the outside when I went past on the train recently.
Cant wait to visit next season if I can get a ticket lol.

 

[Chris-NCL]

It’s the most Everton stadium there is.
Looks like it might be up to the job from the outside, but once you get in to it a bit deeper, it’s just a bit bland.
It’s not the best, and not the worst, but it could have been much better, if that makes sense.

I honestly think Spurs’ stadium blows it away, and if you look at the recent NFL builds, there is quite a few that are quite a step up as well.

 

[DiscoSteve]

52,888 capacity though - a bit miserable for a 'big club like Everton' - and I bet thats a Gross figure and will be less when they get away fans in there!

It’s in an interesting location which gives it some character from the off, but the internal layout is pretty nondescript and a bit disappointing given that the external design is actually quite interesting.

Internally it looks more like an evolution of places like Sunderland and Middlesbrough rather than anything particularly original.

 

[DiscoSteve]

Waiting for the first pissed up Evertonian to go in the drink after, or even before one of their games - he'll not get found until he washes up on a beach in North Wales!

To be fair, Spurs stadium blows anything away. I can’t see how a new build stadium beats that. It is a thing of beauty, which is very annoying seeing as it’s Spurs.

This is it really.

I struggle to see why you would want to develop a stadium that is supposed to be the centre piece of the area, and you have it with no street fronting. The turnstiles are just a steel mesh door, and everything else is just brick. You can’t really see inside it, or interact with it.

We are supposed to be building our stadium in a city park just North of SJP. I want you to be able to walk through the park, see inside the stadium, the restaurants, the bars, the cafés on the ground floor that can be accessed on a non-matchday.

The stands internally look like German standard bleachers. Even the concourse looks very bare.
Someone on the Newcastle forum summed it up well. It looks like the old White Hart Lane, and once you see it, you can’t unsee it.

I just think that they could have done so much more with it. It’s designed to look good from a distance, and once you get close to it, be all function and no form.
