We bid to convert it into a football stadium, not to play in it like west ham...
So this was one of the reason why we were rejected? I don't think the stadium is just for football now

Yes but they’d be no more of a transport link strain than any other midweek match, whether it’s the first, fifth or 17th match at the new ground.

How is their lower tier closer than ours ?We've definitely set the benchmark for compact stands on new stadiums. They have a similar angle particularly at the top just not as high as ours. It's not just how steep the stands are but closeness to the pitch, and the acoustics of the stands. I doubt it will be as impressive as ours (not being biased) but it's good to see another club taking the atmosphere seriously.

It's because the police want to check they have adequate resources, stationed in the correct areas when it's daylight, and people haven't been drinking as much as some do for evening matches.I struggle to understnas the argument that we won't be allowed to open it for a midweeek game. How is opening it against a team playing against us on a Saturday, only to play another game the following Wednesday any different to opening it for an evening game straight off the bat?
Surely if it's our stadium and we have the certificates to open we can open when we choose. Playing vs Huddersfield on the Saturday, followed by a midweek Champions Leae game do people genuinely think any glitches that could occur can be and would be resolved withinn3-4 days? It's ridiculous!
It should be able to open whenever it's ready to open, regardless of what day or time that game is being played. It's a football stadium for crying out loud
We wanted to knock it down completely. We were basically bidding for the land, planning permissions and transport infrastructure.I still cannot believe we did bid for the olympic stadium seriously. The worst stadium in the country

It's impossible to have it closer because of the TV and advertising requirements for Uefa games.People seem to forget the east and west are a good way from the pitch. It's identical with the emirates distance for those of you unfortunate to have been there.
Wouldn’t take much to knock it down - remove a few bolts, couple of blows from a mallet and over she goes!We bid to knock the whole thing down. Basically we wanted the land and nothing else

Everton’s design looks good. Got to admit I do prefer the more rectangular shaped stadium. The one thing I’m not completely bowled over by in our stadium, is the way the corners of the stands are a bit to wavy especially the south stand.
We wanted to build a Football stadium and build a purpose built athletics stadium and centre at Crystal Palace, now they have neither.We bid to knock the whole thing down. Basically we wanted the land and nothing else
