LIVERPOOL - Hill Dickinson Stadium (52,769) - UEFA EURO 2028

Plenty of talk about Everton releasing their latest plan for a new stadium within months, so instead of putting all the info in the Goodison Park thread, I'll start this new thread in the proposed section. Everton to announce new stadium debate within months Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson...

Interesting thanks. The Green Guide recommends a 25 degree incline for standing areas, yet Spurs has this:
"The South Stand is designated the 'Home End', and it has a single tier which is the largest single-tier stand in the country, with seating for 17,500 fans. It is 34.1m high with a 34 degree incline, has concourses on Level 1, 2, 3 and 4 and is accessible from the south atrium."

Apparently 35 degrees is the maximum permitted incline in UK stadia.

Finally demolishing the away end at Edgar Street. (Known as Chicken Shed). Only remember standing there once under Terry Butcher, No prizes for guessing the result. We were along the side for League cup game 2011, Same outcome.

My only visit too - had that weird brick wall in front of the away end that we could sit on - think we baffled the home support as we were losing but started cheering during the 2nd half as England had beaten Australia in the 2007 rugby WC quarter final.

'We’ve eradicated all the weeds and the rubbish that had built up over nearly 20 years'

APPROACHING 20 years since professional footballers last kicked a ball there, some good things are happening at Rotherham United’s old home.

Teams were offered its use for free last season to get things up and running and now it will be available for hire.
Four junior teams, plus a ladies team, are already set to play there next season and more are welcome.
"We are hoping it will be in use Saturday afternoons and Sunday mornings and for local cup finals,” said Ken.

Maidenhead United: York Road stadium expansion plan approved

The club, which has played at York Road since 1871, had hoped to move to Braywick Park.
www.bbc.co.uk www.bbc.co.uk

York Road is thought to be the oldest senior football ground in the world to be continually used by the same club.

The Magpies played their first game there in February 1871.

Work will include 304 seats built at the north end of the ground, close to the Canal End, and another 224 in the corner of its Railway Stand.

An area for wheelchair users and disabled people, disabled toilets, a changing block and improved floodlights also got permission from the council on 24 June.

How much mate ? , worth a bet on them ?

Think it's 10%, so about £4million. Big money for a team like that.

40/1 for the league and 5/1 for top 7.

Finished 14th last season.

signed 5/6 players, couple sound promising and Nathan Ferguson from Wealdstone, decent midfielder.

Nottingham Forest look set to stay at the City Ground after Nottingham City Council agreed to sell the stadium’s land to the club, ending months of stalemate on its future.

A fresh agreement is seen as critical for the club’s exisiting plans to redevelop the stadium, which would expand its capacity from 29,000 to 40,000 through the rebuilding of the Peter Taylor Stand and extension of the Bridgford Stand.
Land sale set to see Nottingham Forest stay at City Ground - council

Will be an adornment to the EFL...

Don't know why they don't 'do a Newcastle' and take out the old executive boxes on the far side and have a seamless stand of seating.

Would add to the atmosphere (imo).

More money from hospitality.

Yep....not the greatest comparison given Newcastle's rebuild in the late 1990s resulted in a them more than adequately replacing the old boxes on the far side.

Haven't really looked at the corners of Portman Rd but they could do a posh version of Fulham's stacked Portakabins, along the lines of what Burnley did either side of the home end.

They can play their home games at Wembley stadium for a few years while its being built as most of Man Fans Live in London LOL

Joking aside I suspect they will struggle to get a suitable venue so perhaps a new stadium right next to old Trafford might be the solution.

With the Glazers record of new stadiums financing ( Raymond James in Tampa ), I hope the governments and people keep a tight hold on their wallets. They do like corporation welfare.

Not being funny but how do you build a brand new stadium thats not soulless .

In my experience, the "soul", or atmosphere, always comes from the fans, not the building - see eg Griffin Park, where sometimes it was electric, more often it was so-so, and sometimes even dull. While with the GTech, where other fans deride it as a "lego" stadium etc, the atmosphere is generally pretty good and occasionally brilliant, meaning it already has "soul" (imo).

As for giant 60k bowls etc, the atmosphere is always bound to suffer at the beginning, at least, until the fans settle in after a few seasons. This is not just because half the crowd may now be casuals/tourists, but also because the regulars/diehards who've transferred from the old stadium are no longer all congregated in their favourite area (Clock End, Shed, Chicken Run, Shelf etc), but are dispersed in all parts of the ground. On top of which you'll have a higher percentage of families and kids who might dilute the atmosphere (no "TF&B"), but should be welcome nonetheless.

Agree, and helped by the setting too.

After the most nomadic of existences in recent years, Truro City FC will finally move into their brand new home stadium (in Truro, almost!) in time for their new National League South season opener v Dorking on Saturday:

When are they going to wheel it closer to the pitch?

I reckon they could've built another full sized pitch parallel to the stadium and used all those steps as an old school Italian stand.

Lay a 4G pitch and make it a community hub and open concert/entertainment space moving forward.

Nice idea, but with the club being in such dire financial straits, I'm sure that they will use it for whatever (permitted) purposes which will generate the maximum revenues. And I doubt whether "community" use could compete with commercial/office/retail/hotel use.

Meanwhile, latest Mr.Drone video from two days ago:



I have to say I like what I see, not least because of the setting which, to use an overworked term, seems to me to be iconic.

And to think that UNESCO withdrew Liverpool's World Heritage Status because the stadium deprived the city of (just another) crumbling, disused brick and concrete dock, with sod-all in it bar weeds and wastewater. :(
