New Everton FC Stadium - Bramley Moore Dock - 27th April - A lot going on - good look around  

Nice one, Colin, and Phil. You must have enjoyed the atmosphere at GP midweek, Phil. I was buzzing and nowhere near the ground. Some comments: 1) Yes, the gates at the inside edge of the Gate Towers are by default different in construction to those of the wall Cut-throughs. They have the same mesh and steel, though. In addition, the Tower Gates are inside relative to Retractable Bollards that lie just about between the Towers, whereas the Cut-throughs have static bollards inside relative to the mesh gates in the wall. 2) The first 6 of what is meant to be a line of 13 Columnar Elms are ready to be planted north of the Pump House. 3) Yes, the differentials in the colour of the Top Standing-sea roof should even out as all the Aluminium oxidises to the same degree, having been manufactured at different times and rolled up for longer or shorter periods that will have reduced the capacity for the oxygen in the air to get at the surface. 4) Well done for catching the start of the deconstruction of the NE Tower. According the to the latest EFC Official Website Stadium report, the stadium is now fully powered up, so they will be able to use the internal lifts now. 5) The concrete that projects out into the future Water Channel, below the level of the ground in front of the West Terraces is the area that is called the "Lower Promenade". 6) It's like a game of chess moving the pallets of granite setts and concrete flags around as sections get worked on, or finished and curing, whilst maintaining access for large equipment and vehicles. Although there is still a huge area to be laid around all the plazas and that requires a heck of a lot of pallets of material, I wonder if any of them can be seen to be of a different nature, which might reveal if any of them contain "The Everton Way" personalised and Memorial Stones yet. 7) I can only guess that the big surprise that LoR and the Installers Team have jettisoned the priority of the full weight on the roof being completed before they barrel-clad the sides, must be because the sped up action on the mezzanine must be taking priority, within safe working procedures. The extra evidence for my guess is that they have moved the crane and the jig to the SE corner before they've actually finished off the NW Corner edging, non-standard pieces of barrel-cladding. COYB, let's have the full points against the Bees so that Kevin Thelwell can get his teeth stuck into actioning the plans for next season with some certainty.

Enjoyed listening to the conversational formal between Colin and Phil. Would like to hear more

The windows for the south stand are on the floor waiting for installation. I think Mr Drone pointed them out during the week.

Back in the day you could rent a soft pad to put on your wooden seat.Unfortunatly we always threw them at the players when we lost.Even when Kendall first came he got pelted

Hi Colin and Phil, great video again. Three things to point out: 1. The "gap" in the West Stand roof I think is to allow access for the contractors. The access to the roof is at the end of the gap on the outside of the West roof. 2. The white strips by the ladders at the front of the West roof are the polycarbonate pieces ready for fixing to the front (you can see the distinctive wave shape), appreciate this may be difficult to pick up on your smaller screen. 3. I think "rail seating" is to be installed in the lower South and lower NE corner (away section), hence the lack of rails as we've seen in other sections. They will presumably have different types of fixing. Just out of interest I did the Wembley Stadium tour a couple of weeks ago and they use the same rail system in the media room for the press to sit on.

I think the safe standing for Euro 28 is not an option, they want all seated as far as i know, so 52,888 will be the Euros capacity even if we have approval to have safe standing at Prem games, with expanded capacity.

Great video

Great Vid CP! This is not a criticism, by any means, but I used to like your old-style Minimalist Commentary. The dual commentary format gets a bit too speculative for my taste but this is just my opinion...

No 'It'll be the best stadium in the Championship comments, this week'? lol

The front of the south stand, and the corner of the north east stand, has been left for safe standing

I think the concern about the different shades of the roof is down to the new aspect of drones. Before nobody ever saw the roof so weren't concerned

Dont think all the scaffold will come down otherwise how do all the ovens,fridges etc get to the upper floors?

So with the lower South Stand a NE corner being rail seats.Does that mean the capacity will be more than 52,000?

Para cuándo estará listo este estadio?

The ladders and supplies on the west roof are the Perspex covering , so Phil was correct 👍🏼

Mate ask SS skies he knows the full gen

Looking more and more like a big supermarket!! 😂😂
