For those who carp on that this stadium is not interesting enough (probably sorely-tested RS's), here's an interesting factor in all this. This fourth grace has already been noted by film/TV directors and production companies as being worthy of note and a significant subliminal landmark of Liverpool. I happen to have caught it appearing on 2 TV programmes this week. Check out BBC 1's "The Responder" and Ch 4's "The Gathering".
Hi Nick Simeon here from Chesterfield we'll be in Liverpool in just over a week please do walk from Goodison park to Bramley Moore if I see you doing it I would walk with you if that's ok. Love your videos
Hi mister drone. It was lovely to see you after the game at goodison park last week walking past the Everton football ⚽️ college. And thankyou for stopping and saying hallo. Sorry for interrupting you while you were on your phone. Like I seid I allways look forward to watching your latest video of Bramley-Moore docks stadium 🏟 as it progressing. I noticed the glass on South stand near edge of the roof has been put on and nealy Finnish. It is looking great 👍 thankyou again for the updates most appreciated.❤x
Hi, Nick. Talking about the Dockers Clock. Why not get a campaign going to get it refurbished and working. Also start a just giving page among your subscribers to pay for it. A £5 per person should raise enough.
The clock tower belongs to Peel Holdings and has nothing at all to do with Everton FC, whose lease extends up to Nelson dock only. And Peel Holdings have plans for it anyway.
Nick: Well done on your presentation in this video, getting through quite a few comments and replies, without too much hesitation or deliberation. You're honing your skills. Although you did add a fuller collection of replies to the question about the Vehicular routes around site, you didn't look further to the question that Andy Merrick answered where I followed up my response with another which pointed out that they had erected scaffolding on the southern Gate Towers at the weekend, presumably to do just as we posited. I thought you knew well by now that the contractor's personnel entrance to the LoR offices and facilities will be closed off, as per the explanation video you did on the East Plaza, back in March.
David/Nick I don't know if you have seen the conditions survey on the Liverpool planning portal from March this year that shows the state of the dock wall and turrets as well as a list of the repair work to be undertaken. There are some interesting photos of the inside of the turrets as well. The planning application ref number is 24DIS/0742
@@johndavison6885 John: great. I hadn't seen those as a specific separate application. Thanks for the heads up. I'll take a look and see if it matches up with other documents.
@@johndavison6885 John, OK, I've read all those documents. Once again, thanks for the heads up. There is a large overlap with the original condition survey documents, which shouldn't be surprising, although some of the choices or decisions on the restorative work seem surprising to me (e.g. keeping a MDF signboard with a very rough IN painted on it, seriously?). Collectively they seem very much about ensuring longer-term preservation of the whole rather than how to preserve AND yet improve the usage. I'm certainly not surprised at that, even if it seems disappointingly unambitious.
@@davidbadcock2225 Agree about the restoration works they could have done so much more and made them a real feature, but it seems like they are just doing the bare minimum to ensure they are safe.
Hi Nick thanks for the mention re clock tower. I have been involved with a lot of listed building redevelopment within Liverpool area hence why I second mickeys shout….maybe one day, as we have loss so much of our history already along the seafront.
Good idea. From goodison to bramley. Especially for us foreigners. Give us that round through the neighborhoods and parts of the town we usually never see.👍
Meet the neighbours... start the North fly in a little further back you'll get a shot of the William & Kate Johnston, the River Mersey's 100 year old historic lifeboat that's moored in Sandon Half Tide. Saved an incredible 248 lives on active service between 1924 and 1950.
Oscar for Nick please, that expression with the seagull eating the rat 🐀 class 👍 The best end to all of your great vids. Meanwhile Sandhills station is closer than your footage suggests. When you fly in down Blackstone st , you cross the merseyrail line, it’s that bridge you drive under 😂
Sandhills Stn is on Sandhills Lane (turn right at the S Norton offices) not Blackstone St but its a good reference point to follow where the railway line is.
Hey Nick. Boss video again mate. Sandhills is behind you up the road opposite the east stand, not up were you zoomed in. Just to let you know dude. Keep up the great work mate. Boss videos dude 👌
@@JayEFC1969 what do you mean, no. He was talking about the station, not were the line crosses. I get the train every morning and look at the stadium everyday. When I say it's up the road behind you I am just saying the station is in that general direction, not were Nick zoomed in 🤦 and it crosses boundary street not Blackstone.
@steleathers83 yes sorry ste I meant Boundary St (nick stands in Blackstone St) - thinking with my drivers cap on you wouldn't go that way but pedestrians could cut through Ind Estate although that's slightly longer walk.
I just missed an s of road. Just meant it's in that general direction of the roads opposite the east stand and not up the road Nick showed. Take it easy dude.
Nice update Nick. Do you know if the club crest going to be displayed anywhere on the exterior of the east stand? Would be a nice finishing touch to greet fans / visitors when they arrive at the stadium, maybe on the roof of the club shop would be a good location?
Matt: Not likely. According to the plans the EFC imagery will all be low-key and subtle. Exactly how it will all look in terms of where there are spots for the imagery, will yet depend on the Stadium Naming Rights too.
Great video Mr drone. I think there will have to be some kind of parking on non matchdays to access the club shop. 🤔 What if you are disabled and need to park close to the shop.
the area in front of the flats is called park view the waste land oppisate will be a big park its going to be lovely also dont forget the water taxi rank
Hi Nick, I’ve looked at the original plans and originally the side walls on the steps on west stand are done in the brick cladding same as the stadium. Do you know if this is still going to happen as it looks so much better than bare concrete. Great videos over the years of our stadium, keep it going
Looking at the barrel clading on the East and West sides, on the four corners will the cladding continue down to mert the next floor or will it just be a gap as it is now? Looks a bit unsightly.....
Nigel: there will not be a TV "Gantry". There will be 7 TV Camera Plinths, with the main TV Camera located in the middle of the West Stand on the large wide platform at the front of the Upper Tier. There will be another directly opposite that at the front of the East Stand Upper Tier, which is why when you look there, there is an absence of seats located there and a form of barrier being it. Then there are 3 more located at the highest/back terrace of the South Stand Lower Tier: at the SE-most corner, the centre of the South Stand and at the SW-most corner. the other two will be located at the NW and NE corners directly in front of the Vomitories to the wide platform Accessibility sections halfway up the Lower Tier. Although Nick somehow forgot to use the screenshot of the East Stand, perhaps take a look at his studio video on the 14th December, 2023 after about 6:45 mins in if you want to 'picture it'.
Hi Nick, neat catch up and info, I've just looked at the official opening design 4 years ago and noticed just how much it is different to the actual design we see at present. Will they still be putting up the brick panels as the team bus is shown by the south stand before it goes under the West stand covering? I guess there will be time possibly for those things to be done, but I sense it looks like they won't be.
During the planning process, EFC’s architects had to change the design several times to accommodate statutory consultees, such as Historic England, the Environment Agency and Natural England. You can see the final approved plans if you search ‘stadium db final Everton design’ and then scroll down to the high definition images (‘renderings’) from August 2020 👍🏻
On the glazing / windows. Meis took the design from Lime Street. Well Lime Street has the the railway Icon on the station. We should have (instead of that Everton) is the crest. Or perhaps the 1980's EFC shirt badge. In fact I think I'll send a request to the club
Great vid nick, picking up on your point of the docks being improved maybe when the club are stable and financially viable again maybe in the future they could look into buying the dock at the south stand and in fill it and put a nice big hotel there.
Terry's Timber Yard or the Bramley Moore Pub would be far better options, the Docks may end up with skyscrapers in the future, as part of the Peel Holdings Development plans.
Paul: all of the previous replies are on song. If you want to see what PEEL's development plans are in the Liverpool Waters project let me know and I'll direct you towards them.
Steven: this has been asked and answered many times. Neither EFC nor LCC will be investing in any other car parks other than the handful of highly-restricted authorised-only spaces on the West Quay. The plans were for the site to be as green and sustainable as possible and LCC are encouraging Public Transport, not promoting any private car parks. However, that is NOT to say that private landowners may consider pop-up's or investing. But what would the financial justification be for just 20-ish match-days per year?
@@davidbadcock2225 thanks but you missing the point, football matches might take up 20 or 30 games a year maximum but the rest of the year it will be available for outdoor concerts, functions,dining,stadium tours etc so that makes another opportunity for the club to bring in money? If it’s profitable for local landowners to do then Everton should look into it?
@@stevenrichardson7882 Steven: valid points but EFC would need very wealthy owners for them to even look beyond the issue of paying off a considerable sum of debt in the short to medium term first, never mind additional non-direct team or club investments. If the War in Ukraine had not happened, then additional investments may have been possible but the immediate effect of that was to increase the building costs by some 50% and turn off the liquid funds tap. EFC have to get their financial house in order first, I'm afraid, which is not exciting but essential if the club is to come out of the tunnel.
Matthew: each to their own but the windows are to look out of and provide light in. Why close it up and why would people in the stadium want to look at the unsightly backside of the sign?a close it up? Relatively few would be able to see it from external vantage points either.
@@JayEFC1969 my thinking is that it seems to be a busy one traffic wise and due to be a busier one in the future with all the building work up and around it
Cormac: definitely not on site. The vehicular movements will be very controlled indeed and NOT a free-for-all. The security team located up in the NW corner will be running the site like an airport flight control tower. To the south/Nelson Dock, BMD will be cut off by fencing until PEEL get their act together on the development, which will then have only pedestrian/cycle lane access at the SW corner. So, the main access will all be from Regent Road. On Match-days a significant stretch of Regent Road will be completely closed off from both the North and South of the site for at least 2 hrs either side of the match. So, like Jay asks, where are you thinking about?
@@DuncTheBlue1878 Dunc: no, I don't. I mean as I say. It's not a typo this time. The Site Security Control Room and Hub, which will be the nerve centre, multiple screens etc is to be next to the TV Studio above the MW Pitch Access Tunnel. It's almost the same size as the TV Studio. They will have electronic/digital gadgetry monitoring all and sundry inside and outside of the stadium (which will be of particular interest to Police if needed be). There are then 3 other Security satellite facilities: 1) The first can be found immediately underneath the Site Security Control Room, located on the ground floor just west of the Pitch access Tunnel, nestled in between the "Front of House" and the Main Kitchen. the main purpose there is to supervise all the incomings and outgoings of all the goods and services, waste management, maintenance equipment, emergency vehicles and even the team coaches park up, when necessary. With regard to traffic I'd expect a Traffic-Light system at the NE Corner Security Hut and the West end of the North Stand (there may yet be a gate installed at the NW edge of the mezzanine, incidentally, depending on whether they binned that idea or not) and there will be a form of 'gate' bollards or whatever, controlling access across the "Isolation Bridges" to the West Quay. 2) The second satellite is located in the NW of the stadium at ground level and is intentionally right next to the Away Fans portal. No need to explain that further, I presume. 3) The third and final satellite is the Vehicular Security Hut at the NE corner. There is no such facility at the SE corner as it will really only be used sparingly and I presume will have traffic lights, cameras and communication gadgetry located there. I am surprised that more thought wasn't given to using the Central Towers in each of the Regent Road Gates but as stated elsewhere, i think that was probably going to be too much for the Heritage Asset stakeholders to wear.
Testing events for the Health and Safety Executive. I think we should move in as soon as it’s ready. None of this ‘giving Goodison the send off she deserves’ nonsense
The plans certainly had these 2 x angled walls in a redbrick tone, could be plastered and painted, they're not going to be a grey cement finish anyway.
Lee: In a word, yes. I thought you already knew this I think you were one of the people that I replied to for the question about the "gaps"/"windows" in the walls on a video about 2 weeks ago. I'll have to check back to the video comments to see if I'm imagining the Q/A . . . .
@@davidbadcock2225 I never got an answer regarding those aforementioned gaps in between the walls and the stairs. I just thought this was an oversight . Perhaps the walls were meant to be longer or perhaps this is a deliberate step?
@@LeeStewart Lee: that's very odd. In which case neither of us are losing our marbles. YT have had a habit of deleting some of my replies and that must have been one of them. they appear on the channel and then disappear some time later, without notification. The answer was quite long and detailed, so I'll see if I can find it or a similar one (as quite a few have asked in the last 2 months or so) and copy it across to you.
@@LeeStewart Ok, Lee, I have found one of the replies to someone else, which I am copying across: "The short headline is that the gaps are designed to be just so. They are a technical necessity and they will not be visible from the West in due course. If you want to know why and how so and the detail behind it, read on. 1) If you recall, the stadium is built in part on 'hard' dock quays and walls but also on the in-filled dock itself. As a result the stadium is actually built in the form of a 3x3 matrix (Think of the grid used for Noughts-and-crosses or Tic-tac-toe), with 2 expansion gaps seen on each side of the stadium, where you can see double steels. The central space of the grid is basically the pitch area (as it doesn't have any real weight sitting on it) and you can follow the lines of the expansion gaps out from the corners of the pitch area. Broadly speaking the North and South Stands sit on a much harder base (the old quays) than the West and East Stands (over the dock water basin). 2) So, where the old dock wall lies is broadly speaking the division between the West and East Stands and the North/South Stands. 3) The West Terrace and Concourse bridges across both old dock wall and old dock basin, so the underlying construct and foundations differ as well. 4) The commitment was made to protect the Old Dock Wall Granite Coping Stones and keep them in view. As a consequence it means that either side of the old Dock Walls the foundations comprise dug-in concrete foundations and the vast majority of the diagonal, Terracing side-cheek concrete wall sits on those foundational concrete slabs. 5) However, the wall can't sit on the old Granite Coping Stones and walls as it would damage them. So, over where the old Granite Coping Stones lie, the top of the Terracing side-cheek wall has to bridge across that structure, effectively a concrete RSJ. 6) BUT, folk may be forgetting that the Terracing Side-cheek walls are due to have Brick Facades mounted on them. When they fit those, they'll close off the current visible gap. 7) I don't know how the finish of the gap will be 'beautified' on the inside exactly but now that we can see the metal grid in the 'hole', I can guess that it will be finished off internally with paneling, like a metal stud wall. I hope that answers the question suitably."
Dave: no. As we've seen before during the project, some fake news gets rolling. The last 3 sections of glass on the North window were installed about 10 days ago, contrary to some who opined that they'd been installed and taken out again. That cherry-picker is installing the 'coving' onto the struts along the top edge of the window.
Andy: they won't, by ritual, as I had commented. It will be for emergencies only on match days and potentially some non-match day light movements. As in Nick's studio East Plaza explanation video in March, there MAY be some subsidiary parking at the SE corner for non-match day events but they will still enter at the NE corner.
@@davidbadcock2225 Hi David - the plans on the LCC planning portal suggested there would be a 1 way system for certain types of stadium traffic. Clearly on a matchday movement will be time restricted as it is at Goodison. I did not think there would be room behind/under the North Stand for vehicles to pass each other ? Obviously that can be managed but it would certainly potentially add a layer of complexity to traffic management ?
@@JayEFC1969 Jay: broadly, you're not wrong. It just comes down to emphasis and categories of movement. The one-way system will only be applicable for some vehicle categories on non-match days. Design and Access Statement Section 6.3 is very clear about it for match days and even for non-match days (Section 6.4.1) most vehicles will be expected to use the NE route to exit. That is partly the reason for the 'passing-place'/queueing bay just inside the site between the NE Gate and the Security Hut and yes, the Security Team absed in the NW corner of the stadium with the Security Hut at the NE entrance, will have to be 'on their game' at all times. You could probably say that it's only the Refuse and Recycling Vehicles that will be expected to use the Anti-clockwise route regularly.
They're extending the width of the area that the stones will be on, and also taking out the Large EVERTON plus commemoration stones to past players, they'll go elsewhere on the site.
The Dockers clock is one of only two 6 sided clock towers existing in the world, it is a listed building. It belongs to Peel Holdings the same as the land the stadium is built on. I believe Peel Holdings have plans to regenerate in the future.
Paul, not quite. It was actually on Sunday as I saw on another droner's video. Nick hadn't looked properly through all the replies to Andy's Q (a constant habit of his not to look at ALL replies, only the first reply), as I had added a supplementary comment on Sunday to Andy telling him that they had started erecting scaffolding around the South Gate Towers.
Warrick Hunt..... 🙂 Think you may need to say these names to yourself before announcing on video Nick!!! Specially if you say that in a Geordie accent.
Hell nick doing a smashing job but I'm sorry to hark on about toilet facilities outside the ground IE fans plaza but surely there has to be as there will be about 20,000 fans or thereabouts drinking and eating outside the stadium it's not rocket science or has this been an oversight I for one don't want to see fans peeing against the walls or trees.
There will be toilet facilities introduced just for match days (as they have at the Goodison fan zone). The club want fans to enter the stadium early though, to enjoy the views from the stadium and spend more on food and drink. That’s why we’re moving - match day revenue is currently the 2nd lowest in the league because of our very old ground.
The fan plaza & club shop will be open to the general public all the time. You just can't drive right up to it you'll have to park somewhere in the area and walk through 👍🏻 it's a fan plaza not a Cark park haha.
John: I guess you didn't twig that from Nick's studio video of the explanation of the East Plaza back in March. You can't park outside Everton Two, Liverpool One either. Visiting the club shop will not be a legitimate reason for getting parking access. As discussed and shown in Nick's studio video explanation of the East Plaza, there may be some non-match day parking at the SE corner for non-match day events. There is some potential short-stay parking near the security hut at the NE corner (between the Gates, the security hut and the bollards on the Plaza) but the basic idea of that area is to permit vehicle turning and some potential queueing off highway. I expect some Accessibility space requirements could be met in that area. There are some permanent Accessibility spaces on the West Quay at all times.
@williamwatson228 not on the fan plaza 😂 The whole area is pedestrian only. I think near the security hut there will be some spaces but that's about it. The original question was can you drive right up to the club shop and you definitely can't.
By the way Iv lost me interests on LFC So Its only me true as like u all say in england "footy" its a local football club HKS fc Thanks again P.s wud all Everton fc supporters build a money trust to buy some shares to be more involve on actions at the club so seasons uv had at 2013-2014 season and further on season with Martinez era were brilliant Maybe roll back the yrs Hold on tight sean dyche cos hes magical Cheers

You can send a request to the club but EFC aren’t allowed to add the crest (or any lettering) to the glass, it’s a condition of planning permission.
Great vid nick, picking up on your point of the docks being improved maybe when the club are stable and financially viable again maybe in the future they could look into buying the dock at the south stand and in fill it and put a nice big hotel there.
Filling in the Nelson Dock would negate the whole stadium concept.
Filling in Nelson Dock for a hotel would never receive planning approval
Terry's Timber Yard or the Bramley Moore Pub would be far better options, the Docks may end up with skyscrapers in the future, as part of the Peel Holdings Development plans.
Paul: all of the previous replies are on song. If you want to see what PEEL's development plans are in the Liverpool Waters project let me know and I'll direct you towards them.

Are there going to be any purpose built car parks for the stadium? Great questions and answers Nick👍
Unlikely although I'd guess a few yards might be opened on matchdays by speculative landowners.
Steven: this has been asked and answered many times. Neither EFC nor LCC will be investing in any other car parks other than the handful of highly-restricted authorised-only spaces on the West Quay. The plans were for the site to be as green and sustainable as possible and LCC are encouraging Public Transport, not promoting any private car parks. However, that is NOT to say that private landowners may consider pop-up's or investing. But what would the financial justification be for just 20-ish match-days per year?
@@davidbadcock2225 thanks but you missing the point, football matches might take up 20 or 30 games a year maximum but the rest of the year it will be available for outdoor concerts, functions,dining,stadium tours etc so that makes another opportunity for the club to bring in money? If it’s profitable for local landowners to do then Everton should look into it?
@@stevenrichardson7882 Steven: valid points but EFC would need very wealthy owners for them to even look beyond the issue of paying off a considerable sum of debt in the short to medium term first, never mind additional non-direct team or club investments. If the War in Ukraine had not happened, then additional investments may have been possible but the immediate effect of that was to increase the building costs by some 50% and turn off the liquid funds tap. EFC have to get their financial house in order first, I'm afraid, which is not exciting but essential if the club is to come out of the tunnel.
great video me and my son drive up from reading 200 miles will there be any car parking near b m
There will be loads of match day parking on pop up sites plus many established parking sites between bmd and the city 🙏
Please do the walk
Would be excellent if we had the club crest on the glass of north stand
Matthew: each to their own but the windows are to look out of and provide light in. Why close it up and why would people in the stadium want to look at the unsightly backside of the sign?a close it up? Relatively few would be able to see it from external vantage points either.
Here’s a question that may have been asked before-is there going to be pedestrian crossings in around the stadium?
There'll be hard and soft road closures around the stadium on matchdays. Where are you thinking there needs to be additional pedestrian crossings ?
@@JayEFC1969 my thinking is that it seems to be a busy one traffic wise and due to be a busier one in the future with all the building work up and around it
Cormac: definitely not on site. The vehicular movements will be very controlled indeed and NOT a free-for-all. The security team located up in the NW corner will be running the site like an airport flight control tower. To the south/Nelson Dock, BMD will be cut off by fencing until PEEL get their act together on the development, which will then have only pedestrian/cycle lane access at the SW corner. So, the main access will all be from Regent Road. On Match-days a significant stretch of Regent Road will be completely closed off from both the North and South of the site for at least 2 hrs either side of the match. So, like Jay asks, where are you thinking about?
@@davidbadcock2225 I think you mean the security team in the North East corner, don’t you?
@@DuncTheBlue1878 Dunc: no, I don't. I mean as I say. It's not a typo this time.
The Site Security Control Room and Hub, which will be the nerve centre, multiple screens etc is to be next to the TV Studio above the MW Pitch Access Tunnel. It's almost the same size as the TV Studio. They will have electronic/digital gadgetry monitoring all and sundry inside and outside of the stadium (which will be of particular interest to Police if needed be).
There are then 3 other Security satellite facilities:
1) The first can be found immediately underneath the Site Security Control Room, located on the ground floor just west of the Pitch access Tunnel, nestled in between the "Front of House" and the Main Kitchen. the main purpose there is to supervise all the incomings and outgoings of all the goods and services, waste management, maintenance equipment, emergency vehicles and even the team coaches park up, when necessary. With regard to traffic I'd expect a Traffic-Light system at the NE Corner Security Hut and the West end of the North Stand (there may yet be a gate installed at the NW edge of the mezzanine, incidentally, depending on whether they binned that idea or not) and there will be a form of 'gate' bollards or whatever, controlling access across the "Isolation Bridges" to the West Quay.
2) The second satellite is located in the NW of the stadium at ground level and is intentionally right next to the Away Fans portal. No need to explain that further, I presume.
3) The third and final satellite is the Vehicular Security Hut at the NE corner. There is no such facility at the SE corner as it will really only be used sparingly and I presume will have traffic lights, cameras and communication gadgetry located there.
I am surprised that more thought wasn't given to using the Central Towers in each of the Regent Road Gates but as stated elsewhere, i think that was probably going to be too much for the Heritage Asset stakeholders to wear.

What are they going to do for the 8 months while there waiting for the new season? Obviously practice games for safety but what else?Concerts?
Testing events for the Health and Safety Executive. I think we should move in as soon as it’s ready. None of this ‘giving Goodison the send off she deserves’ nonsense

Will they be adding brick facades to the two walls on the end of the plaza staircase outside the West stand?
The plans certainly had these 2 x angled walls in a redbrick tone, could be plastered and painted, they're not going to be a grey cement finish anyway.
Lee: In a word, yes. I thought you already knew this I think you were one of the people that I replied to for the question about the "gaps"/"windows" in the walls on a video about 2 weeks ago. I'll have to check back to the video comments to see if I'm imagining the Q/A . . . .
@@davidbadcock2225 I never got an answer regarding those aforementioned gaps in between the walls and the stairs. I just thought this was an oversight . Perhaps the walls were meant to be longer or perhaps this is a deliberate step?
@@LeeStewart Lee: that's very odd. In which case neither of us are losing our marbles. YT have had a habit of deleting some of my replies and that must have been one of them. they appear on the channel and then disappear some time later, without notification. The answer was quite long and detailed, so I'll see if I can find it or a similar one (as quite a few have asked in the last 2 months or so) and copy it across to you.
@@LeeStewart Ok, Lee, I have found one of the replies to someone else, which I am copying across:
"The short headline is that the gaps are designed to be just so. They are a technical necessity and they will not be visible from the West in due course. If you want to know why and how so and the detail behind it, read on.
1) If you recall, the stadium is built in part on 'hard' dock quays and walls but also on the in-filled dock itself. As a result the stadium is actually built in the form of a 3x3 matrix (Think of the grid used for Noughts-and-crosses or Tic-tac-toe), with 2 expansion gaps seen on each side of the stadium, where you can see double steels. The central space of the grid is basically the pitch area (as it doesn't have any real weight sitting on it) and you can follow the lines of the expansion gaps out from the corners of the pitch area. Broadly speaking the North and South Stands sit on a much harder base (the old quays) than the West and East Stands (over the dock water basin).
2) So, where the old dock wall lies is broadly speaking the division between the West and East Stands and the North/South Stands.
3) The West Terrace and Concourse bridges across both old dock wall and old dock basin, so the underlying construct and foundations differ as well.
4) The commitment was made to protect the Old Dock Wall Granite Coping Stones and keep them in view. As a consequence it means that either side of the old Dock Walls the foundations comprise dug-in concrete foundations and the vast majority of the diagonal, Terracing side-cheek concrete wall sits on those foundational concrete slabs.
5) However, the wall can't sit on the old Granite Coping Stones and walls as it would damage them. So, over where the old Granite Coping Stones lie, the top of the Terracing side-cheek wall has to bridge across that structure, effectively a concrete RSJ.
6) BUT, folk may be forgetting that the Terracing Side-cheek walls are due to have Brick Facades mounted on them. When they fit those, they'll close off the current visible gap.
7) I don't know how the finish of the gap will be 'beautified' on the inside exactly but now that we can see the metal grid in the 'hole', I can guess that it will be finished off internally with paneling, like a metal stud wall.
I hope that answers the question suitably."
Nick, on that seagull eating the rat at the end...could that be a tenner on Brighton beating Man Utd on Sunday?
😆.
When will the stadium be completed?
December
is that the last glass going in at the start
Dave: no. As we've seen before during the project, some fake news gets rolling. The last 3 sections of glass on the North window were installed about 10 days ago, contrary to some who opined that they'd been installed and taken out again. That cherry-picker is installing the 'coving' onto the struts along the top edge of the window.
Surely vehicles can't go down the south as that will be Everton Way which is being expanded
Andy: they won't, by ritual, as I had commented. It will be for emergencies only on match days and potentially some non-match day light movements. As in Nick's studio East Plaza explanation video in March, there MAY be some subsidiary parking at the SE corner for non-match day events but they will still enter at the NE corner.
@@davidbadcock2225 Hi David - the plans on the LCC planning portal suggested there would be a 1 way system for certain types of stadium traffic. Clearly on a matchday movement will be time restricted as it is at Goodison. I did not think there would be room behind/under the North Stand for vehicles to pass each other ? Obviously that can be managed but it would certainly potentially add a layer of complexity to traffic management ?
@@JayEFC1969 Jay: broadly, you're not wrong. It just comes down to emphasis and categories of movement. The one-way system will only be applicable for some vehicle categories on non-match days. Design and Access Statement Section 6.3 is very clear about it for match days and even for non-match days (Section 6.4.1) most vehicles will be expected to use the NE route to exit. That is partly the reason for the 'passing-place'/queueing bay just inside the site between the NE Gate and the Security Hut and yes, the Security Team absed in the NW corner of the stadium with the Security Hut at the NE entrance, will have to be 'on their game' at all times. You could probably say that it's only the Refuse and Recycling Vehicles that will be expected to use the Anti-clockwise route regularly.
Hi Nick Will there be a facility to park a small moped on site o n Match days?
Yes but you won’t be able to park onsite…unless you’re a shareholder, Director, player or owner of the club.
Park elsewhere and use one of the electric scooters maybe, that are all around the area.
Oh more stones being released £65. Start from must have more room x
They're extending the width of the area that the stones will be on, and also taking out the Large EVERTON plus commemoration stones to past players, they'll go elsewhere on the site.
Warwick hunt. Is that a wind up??? Unfortunate name, if it's not 😂
The Dockers clock is one of only two 6 sided clock towers existing in the world, it is a listed building. It belongs to Peel Holdings the same as the land the stadium is built on. I believe Peel Holdings have plans to regenerate in the future.
John: absolutely. If you need directions as to how to get to see the plans, let me know.
Scaffolding started on Monday I think.
Paul, not quite. It was actually on Sunday as I saw on another droner's video. Nick hadn't looked properly through all the replies to Andy's Q (a constant habit of his not to look at ALL replies, only the first reply), as I had added a supplementary comment on Sunday to Andy telling him that they had started erecting scaffolding around the South Gate Towers.
Warrick Hunt..... 🙂 Think you may need to say these names to yourself before announcing on video Nick!!! Specially if you say that in a Geordie accent.

Hell nick doing a smashing job but I'm sorry to hark on about toilet facilities outside the ground IE fans plaza but surely there has to be as there will be about 20,000 fans or thereabouts drinking and eating outside the stadium it's not rocket science or has this been an oversight I for one don't want to see fans peeing against the walls or trees.
There will be toilet facilities introduced just for match days (as they have at the Goodison fan zone).
The club want fans to enter the stadium early though, to enjoy the views from the stadium and spend more on food and drink. That’s why we’re moving - match day revenue is currently the 2nd lowest in the league because of our very old ground.
Cant believe you cant drive up to the shop and buy something. Even Everton are not so stupid to put barriers in the way of fans buying merchandise?
The fan plaza & club shop will be open to the general public all the time. You just can't drive right up to it you'll have to park somewhere in the area and walk through 👍🏻 it's a fan plaza not a Cark park haha.
John: I guess you didn't twig that from Nick's studio video of the explanation of the East Plaza back in March.
You can't park outside Everton Two, Liverpool One either. Visiting the club shop will not be a legitimate reason for getting parking access. As discussed and shown in Nick's studio video explanation of the East Plaza, there may be some non-match day parking at the SE corner for non-match day events. There is some potential short-stay parking near the security hut at the NE corner (between the Gates, the security hut and the bollards on the Plaza) but the basic idea of that area is to permit vehicle turning and some potential queueing off highway. I expect some Accessibility space requirements could be met in that area. There are some permanent Accessibility spaces on the West Quay at all times.
@davidbadcock2225 Where will the players' car park be? Thanks.
@@rosse6705 ; you'll be able to park on non match days.
@williamwatson228 not on the fan plaza 😂 The whole area is pedestrian only. I think near the security hut there will be some spaces but that's about it. The original question was can you drive right up to the club shop and you definitely can't.
Warwarickhunt can’t be a real name 😂😂😂😂
By the way
Iv lost me interests on LFC
So
Its only me true as like u all say in england "footy" its a local football club HKS fc
