RIP Michael 💙 🙏... Great gesture by the Club with a permanent memorial for Michael..!! Always be remembered as part of our Everton Family For Life 💙 UTFT 💙✌️🫡
Thanks, Colin. PoI's: 1) I really like the apt memorial mooring post. Nice touch by EFC/LoR there. 2) At 2:00 mins, you can see that they're progressing installing the dark-grey paneling above the entrances along the East Stand. 3) At 5:30 mins, you can see that they have started laying the water-effect concrete flags on the West Plaza. 4) At 6:30 mins, the mystery is why they have lifted a regular-patterned number of the mezzanine flags along the southern facade. More benches? Lighting? The plans have changed. Watch this space. 5) Just to be pedantic for a moment, I'd say the pattern of the benches is: 1 Long, stairs-dependent space, 2 Standard, space, 2 Standard, Movement Gap, 1 Small, stairs-dependent space, 2 Standard, space, 2 Standard, stairs-dependent space, 3 Standard, stairs-dependent space, 2 Standard, space, 2 Standard, stairs-dependent space, 1 Small, Movement Gap, 2 Standard, space, 2 Standard, stairs-dependent, 1 Small. 6) Good capture of the roofing contractors using the man-safe wires when they're removing the north lip temporary safety barriers and dragging out the nets from underneath the lip, which suggests they will be affixing the fascia on the end soon enough. 7) It's still a mystery as to what is going on with the differently coloured Steels that support the north edge of the North Stand Overhang. 8) They've nearly completed the run of light posts along the West Plaza and the Balustrade along the Lower Promenade.
Re point 4: I noticed this too David, but to me they look like markers rather than flags being removed. I would have expected more regular gaps and a uniform shape if flags have been dug out. No idea though what they signify; we’ll have to watch this space!
@@davejohno1149 Ok, interesting. Thanks for the heads up. I didn't see any wiring being laid on the mezzanine before it got to the stage of laying flag and even if so, why then lay flags and then dig them out again, which seems an odd way of doing things, except if there's been a very late change in plan (that's a rhetorical Q)? If they are to be lights, then I have to wonder if they'll be autonomous solar lights. Whatever the outcome, it seems a very strange process.
@@rosse6705 Rosse: that's an entirely valid guess although, I'm still a bit surprised if they are, when there was no sign of any wiring laid prior to the flag-laying and even then why lay flags and dig them out. That could be due to a late change in plan/request, of course. If they are lights, then I think they'd have to be autonomous solar lights, unless wiring is to be added, which might look a bit messy. Intrigued. Wait and watch developments, I guess.
Re the wind baffles - perhaps they need to keep ground available for machinery until the roof and general height work in that area are completed before they add further baffles ?
@@davidbadcock2225Mike is right David. Probably the only critical point in the whole design. You can not defend this irregular thing. So please do not start
@@jurgenvoogt1638 Whoa, Jurgen. All I said was 'yet' so as to hypothesise that he MIGHT get used to it in time. I was only having a giggle. I am very relaxed about asymmetry if I know why it is so. Never in a million years would I state anyone is 'right' or 'wrong' when it comes to art. Art is not a black-and-white thing (except in some pieces of monochrome modern art, maybe, 😉). There is only opinion. I understand and appreciate that a huge proportion of people like everything to be symmetrical and it is a feature I'd try to achieve myself, with any blank sheet. The only difference is that I came to accept the East Stand roof feature early on as just another part of the Architects intent to make each perspective of the stadium different and to reveal the engineering behind it, that's all. Have a great weekend.
@@davidbadcock2225 it is no attack David. You know how much I appreciate you. It was just that this guy mentioned the irritating mindfuck of the architect. Have a nice evening too mate 👊👍
@@jurgenvoogt1638 Well, it seemed like a little heavy-handed interjection by the Thought Police and a warning to back off, when I was only having a giggle. Not exactly Edinburgh Fringe, but still. I accept your secondary note. Again, have a great weekend.

Great drone footage 👍👍
Another excellent, informative vid, CP. Thanks
Exactly Colin. The benches are symmetrical. Great video again. West side blue paving between the stairs. Lovely progress.👍
Thanks, Colin.

Just viewed another later video; I think now the flags have been dug out and floor level lamps have been installed.
If I had to take a guess, I'd say it's for lighting right along the front so it lights up the brick facade.

Blue water effect pavers going down on the west side at the bottom of the steps
Which part will be the away end? Looking forward to attending , looks a great stadium.
Away fans will be in the north east corner, lower tier (for league games). Also the upper north east tier for cup games.
Enjoy

Jay: you could well be right about that.
I'm pleased to see the Benches on the West Side are matched up - but I can't get used to the vents in the Barrel-Cladding on the East Side...
😏. Yet . . . ?

After their performance today 27 Aug 24 they won't be needing a new stadium. It will be a bit OTT for the Championship 😮
Where do you think 🤔 they will put the DIXIE DEAN and the HARVEY KENDAL and BALL statue 🤔 😉 UTFT NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM
there staying at goodison apparently...UTFT...
