I'm not an Everton fan, but I'm glad the club has cemented and achieved its place in next season's Premier League. Let's hope Everton are still in the league by the 2025/26 season when they play in their new home. By then I think BMD will be the top 2 if not the best stadium in the PL (Sorry Spurs fans!). If not, I think it would be a huge downer for the club moving into BMD in the EFL Championship.

If your OCD has been relieved, I'm about to stir it up when I say, it's not clear if all THREE missing North Window sections have been fitted. The very bottom right hand corner has been without the small triangular piece all this time too. Certainly the top 2 missing sections have been installed at last. Without further point deductions we're mathematically safe but we can't trust the EPL and their point-deducting commissions, so 3 pts against Luton is a MUST.

Nick, sometimes you have to analyse the detail of comments. My comment about the pitch area was only about the perimeter, not the main pitch. 1) My point in response to the question was that they have nearly completed doing the following: A) Digging a trench around the perimeter a couple of metres wide and probably about a metre deep max (a guess) B) Lay the black box-shaped ducts/conduits that were visible in previous videos, stacked on the pitch area, in that perimeter 'trench'. These ducts will contain optic fibres and electrical cables for various reasons, not the least of which will be the advertising boards and Pitch Lights Arrays. C) You can see where they have already completed this task as at frequent spots along the perimeter in the differently-coloured sand and next to the base of the concrete terracing, you can see the Access Holes and Covers spaced out around the perimeter where the above has been completed. This is so that the various cables can be inserted into the duct and connected up later. 2) None of the above is anything to do with the work required for the pitch itself. A) As stated above, where they have dug up and replaced the pitch area perimeter, you can see the sand is a natural sand colour whereas the main pitch area is slightly greyed. This is because the whole area wasn't just pure sand but strengthened (I guess with a weak mixture of cement) in order to take all the heavy equipment. B) As we are in May now and there was an official statement to the effect that the work on the pitch would start in May, it's not unreasonable to suggest that work will start soon enough. C) It isn't just a question of doing stuff on top of the current ground. The whole pitch will have to be dug out to remove that weak concrete/sand mixture surface and to the correct level for a number of reasons, not least of which is the drainage pipes that will soak away the 'dirty' water to a main pipe running roughly under the halfway line out under the West Stand and out to the future Water Channel. D) Then there will be a complex grid of fresh-water supplies, connected to the main pipe that comes into the pitch area under the East Stand E) And electrical pipes/wires for the under-soil heating f) That is all beside the construct of the pitch bed itself which will include a strengthening plastic matrix and membranes before the upper levels of sand, eventually Rye-grass seed and the hybrid pitch plastic drilled into the established turf (i.e. after the rye-grass has grown sufficiently).

Looks fantastic enjoyed your match videos aswell great week for the toffees I'm lucky enough to see us win the two fa cups league titles and the European Cup winners cup I hope these young blues get to experience that again thanks great vids again mate

Hi Nick, looking at your recent video, it is amazing to see how the stadium now dominates the who area bringing it back to its historical past importance to the city. Wouldn't it be great if the stadium could be serviced by ferries on matchdays and make the river as busy as when in its former glory days.

Re: the view from the ferry pub, there is an optical illusion as you approach the traffic lights at church street/ Brighton street the stadium looks absolutely enormous between the houses and then looks smaller as you drive down to the pub. I don’t know if you’d be able to show this with your drone.

Quality as standard mate. The row of seats that cross the aisle on the East Stand are to separate The Trinity Place hospitality area from the rest. The so called "Best In House Pitch View". This came in an email from EFC a few weeks ago detailing the different pre and post match hospitality that will be available. Al.

The 6 Columnar Elms located to the North of the Pump House are meant to be joined later by a further 7 such trees extending the line, in the E-to-W direction, towards the NE Corner of the Stadium. If you're standing on the East Plaza, they will detract from the eyeline of the UU building behind and be a higher backdrop to the stage area between the Pump House and the East Stand. The 7 further trees will need that vehicular access area dug out for the ArborSystem pit but that can't yet be done whilst the heavy equipment still needs access to that NE corner 'T-Junction'.

Not sure if it's already been mentioned but the seats on the lower east stand look like they will be separating hospitality seating from us commoners. If you look further along there are bareiers to restrict access

Hey Nick The seats across the aisles might be to control traffic Some people have to go up the stairs and some go down the stairs Also if there was to be a stumble from the top stairs that’s a long way down and maybe stairs across stop a fall and also stop a lot of people at the back pushing down the stairs I’d imagine there’ll be more

Interesting at about 3.40 to 3.55 minutes you can so clearly see the Leitch design in the brickwork (artists rendition obviously) on the East stand brickwork whereas we can't seem to see it at the moment on recent videos. I wonder how long it will take for the brick to "weather', or whatever the right term is, before the design is as clearly visible? And while I am on about "weathering bricks"...I asked a question about 4 or 5 days ago on another one of your videos but didn't get a reply so still wondering. Here it was: As far as I understand it, when they removed the bricks from the wall in order to install the gates, they preserved the bricks so they could use the same ones in order to reconstruct the wall around the gates. So that being the case, why are the bricks a lighter colour than the rest of the wall near them? Surely they didn't sandblast them or give them a good scrubbing? I'm sure they will blend in over time but I'm just wondering what happened to them? Cheers

If you look closely at the INSIDE of the wall (i.e. from the East Plaza itself, you will see that the BMD stretch of the wall is not itself completely uniform anyway, so it's unlikely to be an eye-sore.

Hopefully, generators will only be used in emergency as the stadium is connected to the power grid anyway. The black panels are perforated in areas where people are using corridors or stairwells etc. They are solid where they hide walls behind them.. The perforations allow air-passage but act as baffles as well. They will allow some sight of the external views from within. As for lighting they will only reflect light to a degree or allow a little light through from the passageways behind. Glass is only provided in areas where people will be using the space for any length of time (lounges, bars etc), rather than the largely servicing areas of corridors and stairways, which is what the panels merely hide.

Into those conduits they will lay optical fibre cables and power cables for all sorts of reasons, not the least of which is the advertising boards and the Pitch Lighting Arrays etc. Then, separately from that, they will dig out all of the main pitch area to remove the hardened sand/cement mixture which was laid there to support the heavy equipment during the build, before laying an intricate web of pipes for watering (you could see the incoming water supply pipe on a previous video, coming in from under the East Stand), dirty water removal and reclamation (most of which will connect to main outflow pipes under the West Stand to the future water channel) , and ducts for cables for the pitch heating. It's a complex web.

​@davidbadcock2225 that is fantastic information and now I understand the stadium is above the river Mersey. Work on the pitch would have to be the last job done because there is so much work to do in the stadium. The stadium will be ready for the season after next season hopefully.

@@antonybaines4230 Antony: the stadium is indeed above the River Mersey. The pitch will be at about 7.5m above normal sea level and the top of the Mersey Wall is at about 8.5m.

Of course they are padded even the colosseum seats were padded for the emperors

They did the same thing on the other side when the roof was not finished. Don't worry.

If they have concerts surely they will use the STADIUM itself 😮😊UTFT NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM

Smaller events can be held on plaza and won't need to work around protecting the pitch during football season.

David: the Stadium itself will be used for Gigs, yes, but for smaller performances and especially for fans' entertainment on match days, there will be a stage on the East Plaza, as discussed, between the SW corner of the Pump House and the northern end of the East Stand.

Can they get the first game to be Coleman’s testimonial

It's far more cost effective to now finish it and make it income generating than to leave it 80% built.

Don't think you're safe from the drop. The Premier League are just waiting until the end of the season so that they know how many points to deduct to make sure they relegate Everton. What have the Toffees done to piss them off so much?

Graham: indeed. Just the playground bully picking on someone in their moment of vulnerability, in the context of the EPL wanting to display teeth under the gaze of the Government but in so doing actually emphasising why the Government have a point. And because a very high proportion of the EPL clubs (in ascending order!) have all got worried, miraculously (not!) the PSR system is about to be ditched. EFC will have paid a very high price.

Why all the sympathy, everton cheated and got caught, they should have got docked the points last season and got relegated, hows the club even building a stadium, the clubs skint ...anyway, enjoy the relegation fight year after year in a shinny new shite hole 😂

Mmmmm is that a nice Merlot or Pinot Noir you're imbibing...? Oh no, it's just a great big barrell of sour grapes. A nice Losing-the-League-at-Goodison-Park variety. Have you come along to have a look at your next prospective stadium when we've finished with it at a future date, another cast off second-hand one to follow the one we left for our spawn last time? Keep looking at Everton stuff though, you know you can't resist. Great innit...
