First and foremost - well done to everyone for the outpour of support toward Zoe's Place. Secondly, this stadium is looking better and better each update. It's going to be a beautiful additional to this already charming city. Thanks, Nick.
Thanks, Nick. Full credit and respect to you for your part in raising awareness and commitment to Zoe's Place. Some late-in-the-day PoI's: 1) @ 2:43 mins, for the OCD-challenged viewers, it's about time that they inserted the final 3 base plates to the end, last of the 13 Columnar Elm trees. 2) @ 2:45 mins, what is the work that's going on on the North Side of the Pump House? 3) @ 3:08 mins, we can see they're really progressing with the SE Corner of the plaza, with a new water-gulley between the end of the already-laid rails and the future perimeter fence gate. The few remaining Heritage Rails to be inserted are stacked centrally at this time-stamp. 4) @ 3:09 mins, it perhaps just needs emphasising that the future South East perimeter gate will not be for regular pedestrian access but for extraordinary access needs. Much longer-term it may become a regular access point after PEEL have completed the Nelson Dock develeopment. The same goes for the the very SW corner of the BMD site, seen @ 5:30 mins, where once the need for an open vehicular access point is no longer required, there will be another perimeter gate installed. 5) @ 4:50 mins, they're taking their time to install the final panels of the SW end of the Viewing Gallery. 6) @ 5:35 mins, it's noticeable how many of the spaces below the balustrades on both sides of the water channel, still require the fencing 'mesh' installed. 7) @ 5:45 mins, they've grouted the last section of granite setts on the NW end of the West Plaza. We've never spotted anyone in the floating platform located at the NE end of the Water Channel. In another video, I've seen it or a twin located at the SE end. Maybe it will be used for the installation of the Composite Decking and Capping Beam on the outside of the Lower Promenade. 8) @ 5:57 mins, I think it's about time they fitted the handrails up the double-width stairs on the West Terracing. 9) @ 7:02 mins, they've at long last installed the concrete protective jacket bases to the overhang support posts at the NW end. 10) @ 7:07 mins, still quite a mixture of black, white and grey posts to be painted. @ 7:16 mins, it loks as though at long last they've decided to paint the NW end post, judging by the protective covers laid around and under it. You'd have expected that completed before they laid the asphalt. 11) @ 10:53 mins, I remain curious as to what is gping on with the scaffolding under the Tier Overhang of the West Stand. At this time-stamp they're located in front of the movement joints at the extreme left and right of the shot. I suspect they're just making good the seals but it might just have something to do with the expected advertising boards. You can see similar structures on the concrete face of the Upper Tier of the North and East Stands and a similar pair of lines in the back wall of the South Stand Lower Tier too. Worth a closer look? 12) There are a lot of contractors around the pitch-side.
Cheers as ever Nick. Whilst the stadium is breathtaking, your weekly fly rounds show just how amazing the whole complex is. A lot of thought and planning has obviously gone into making the whole area so special 💙
Great video, as always Nick. Referring back to your stadium tour video, yesterday's date (11/11) was the date that LOR gave you as their completion date, notwithstanding testing. While I understand that dates slip (e.g. the pitch build up was, I think, past its original date) I wonder whether you have anyone you could reach out to for confirmation? Keep up the great work!
The last 3 years have been so well documented by you. From the dock infill, the 4 corners, then the metal framework and so on. Despite all the on field drudgery, the off field legalities, and Big Mosh's poor judgement, we're almost there. Great job.
Fantastic.💙💙💙 imagine an early or late season game day experience sitting on the western terrace on a sunny day with a cold beer. We will probably spend hours just walking around taking in such a magnificent structure.... And imagine that stadium rocking when Z cars fires up... wow💙 UTFT.
Another classic update Nick and so pleasing to be part of the rescue effort for Zoe’s place. That was an epic achievement by all who helped. This stadium is also an epic achievement, almost…. UTFT
Another brilliant video Nick, how long have they said it will be before the pitch is grown?, I am a LFC supporter, but really interested in the blue’s new stadium. I have watched from the beginning, when it was full of water, then filled with sand. You did an excellent job on our Anfield Road stand. This puts you into the history books as your record of Everton’s new home. Great work, with you till completion. 👌🏻
The artificial SIS grass should be done over the coming days, the pitch has already been seeded, the grass is visible at ground level already, and this will thicken into a lush green carpet of grass, over the next few weeks.
Wow you are the best drone RUclips, 🎉 amazing progress for Everton stadium. Congratulations. Please keep working with drones I do hope you do that with Man Utd and Newcastle in the future!
Great video as always, and I really like the first piece of music. On the East side of the stadium where the gift shop is, there seems to be a part of the topping of the roof that’s damaged. I see that part of the roof and it sticks out to me. Keep up the great work Nick. A fellow Evertonian in Orlando.
The first video where you showed the grass sewing machine, the footage where the machine was shifting position, you could see the controller standing in front of the machine. After it was in position, the man disappeared around the side away from the camera angle.
Nick, thanks for your amazing work throughout the build. I am curious about what separations have been built in to separate the away stand from the home sections on the lower tier on either side of the northeast corner, if you could possibly zoom in on your midweek video? I am really hoping theyve designed it so no empty seats need to be used as a buffer between home and away sections such as so many other grounds are forced to do.
Another great video, thank you @mrdrone! The Stadium is looking fabulous. I'm sure this has been answered before, but will access to the West side/car park go underneath the overhang of the north stand? This looks so tight! Especially with thousands of fans too.. They are currently using the access route beyond the first fence, but am I right that this is going back to United Utilities?
Access to the exclusive western car park will be via the northern access route. It’s 5.5 metres wide as its narrowest point, so wide enough for vehicles. There’s only one set of turnstiles at the north side and that’s for the away fans in the north east (Turnstile 24). There won’t be any vehicles allowed (except emergency) in the hours before and after kick off. Yes, that land will be handed back to United Utilities.
Hi nick hope you and your family are keeping well fantastic news about Zoe place once again great video yet again another draw Saturday dyce for me as got to go he is to negative and thanks again 💙⚽️⚽️
Another great video, Nick. I'm curious about the section of water between the stadium and the river. If it's to be navigable, do you know if there are new gates planned for each end of it?
I was looking forward to seeing the grass seeds germinate and the gradual greening if the Pitch, but in this Technological Age things are not that simple...
Thanks for the update, Nick. Brilliant! Do you know when they will finish the top bit beneath the silver canopy? I think you mentioned in a previous video that it will be finished with a sort of greyish/black cover.
Hi Nick! On Wednesday can you please point out where the Media boxes are going to be. The ones they use when the match is live. It's not obvious. You know were the two stoodgies are going to be. Carragher and Neville.
At 11:36 you can see a concrete platform at the bottom of the west stand upper tier (just above the higher executive boxes) - this is where the main TV camera will be. TV commentators will be there too. The press will be at the very top of the west stand upper tier, and the TV studio is in the box in the north west corner (above the vehicle access).
12:24 - I think I can see a few blades of grass in the gap between the curb stone and the pavement near the car. I know this isn’t Stadium related, but better than nothing as they say 😉🌱🌱🌱
Hi Nick Superb video as always, Sundays and Wednesdays won’t be the same soon! You may have been asked this before but the west stand plaza what looks like parking is that brown colour which has been replicated on the north stand overhang, is that the finished article or is it stand awaiting block paving? As I have said before your commitment to this has been amazing and will soon be a reality, hopefully can Everton can consolidate a prem place to go in to this
Hi Nick , I've said this before but no answer there is a dark spot on top of the main entrance and shop roof, is it a patch ? or just standing water seems to be their quite long now, good video as always.
Just a couple of Qs. Which side will the dressing rooms be, and the tunnel leading to and from the pitch? Where will the visitors team coach get access onto the site? Thanks.
Neil, the Players' Dressing Rooms are in the midst of the West Stand Ground floor, with the Away Team to the north of centre and the Home Team at the south of centre. You can see the player's tunnel and team dugouts in the West Stand similarly next to the pitch centre-line. Both Players'Coaches will access the site by the Tower Gate at the NE corner and drive under the North Stand overhang to the central wide tunnel of the West Terrace in good weather but will stop at the north end of the mezzanine, nose under, in poor weather
Won’t be one of the first matches because it’ll be this time next year. Not Great Britain either - it’s England v Australia. Hasn’t been confirmed yet anyway, they’ll probably opt for Old Trafford
I think the projects been put on hold until they sell above 90% of the first phase, which hasn't happened yet. Mainly because of the ridiculous prices haha
Great update once again Nicholas . I was wondering 🤔 could you or anyone else watching ,what are the plans for strip of land next to the south bridge adjacent to the car park area ?
It'll just be used for Car Parking spaces (mostly Disabled ones) and some pedestrian access. Longer-term there will be a SW Pedestrian Entrance point, when PEEL have completed the development of the West Quays of Nelson Dock and beyond, as it'll be part of the planned Mersey Walk all the way from the National Gardens.
I am still confused about what the road and parking setup will be for behind the North and West Stands. The road from the entrance appears to end in a large rectangular area which looks like where the team coaches could / will be parked. Where will the players enter the stadium on a match day? The gap between the vertical black posts doesn't seem wide enough to allow any vehicle through and onto the north bridge. How will the Car Park on the West be accessed? Is there a route for vehicles onto the south bridge or from the adjoining area? One for David and Dunc to get stuck into I think!
hey nick great vid as always but quick question i know u have touched on it a few times but on the topic of the everton sign across the south stand glass and everton in white seats across the west stand and EFC on the south and 1878 on the north its clear they arnt going in now bu maybe after the hand over would everton themselves do it because to me thats a massive part of the stadium anyways keep up the good work and lets hope we survive relegation UTFT💙💙
Ben, the seats are planned to be all blue. There MAYBE some Illuminated Signage in the Windows as that's approved in the plans and there are plenty of Illuminated Signage locations allocated on the brisk facades, the barrel-cladding, portals etc. I respect your opinion re multi-cloured setas but to me, personally, I think they just are an eye-sore, as they always look like a terrible fit compromise and as if kids have been playing tetra. Besides which full attendance always obscures them. I never go to a match thinking that people obscuring the seat patterns kills it.
New owners say it is too small. They are wanting to increase the capacity. In short, amend the stadium before opening. Architect says cannot increase size. But the west stand can be extended backwards. It will give a lopsided look like Anfield.
John: I'd say you've been had by journalists trying to increase clicks and readership. This ground would involve super-costs to expand in terms of the pitch bowl and attendance. The whole stadium has been designed and engineeered to be as one. You'd be having to reengineer from under the ground and remove the whole roof. What is MUCH more likely is that they could look at expanding the W or E STANDS (not the bowl) to increase hospitality and other event facilities. I don't doubt that TFG are keen to increase income generation with added facilities but increasing match attendance will be a very, very different financial risk/reward equation. The equation for the move from GP to BMD is that in attendance measures only, about 15k extra seats have cost about £800m, in seat capacity alone. It'll take about 15-20 years to get payback from the cost of this stadium as it is, never mind adding mind-boggling costs for disrupting and reengineering the whole stadium and completely ruin the image.
@@davidbadcock2225 Removing the roof, extending back one stand, then putting back most of the roof building an extension. *1)* Too small. *2)* Wrong location, should have been the Garston gas works site.
@@johnburns4017 John, FM and Usmanov dreamt big even with the huge cashflow they had going back 5-8 years ago. However, tehy were sensible enough to do proper market research and 53k was a figure they reckoned they could deliver with the close-and-intimate priority brief which would offer the best profitabilityin payback for outlay. Only Covid and War in Ukraine shot those reward-risk ratios to smithereens and we can't balme FM for planning for something he couldn't have dreamt happening. None of us could. The financial **** we got into was really emphasised by the sudden £300k uplift and its repercussions. TFG are too smart to throw money at poor return investments. I do expect them to investigate how to increase the footfall and the footings of the assets on site as well as the opportunities nearby. Personally, I just don't see any attendance capacity uplift investments (I don't count the potential future legal constraints on safe standing in that) UNLESS, in all our dreams, EFC become so successful that the demand goes through the roof, metaphorically and therefore literally. i respect your opinions. Have a great evening.
At last Laing O'Rouke have removed the black bundle? which was on the main roof above the shop entrance - thank you, thank you. Unfortunately they are still ' teasing me by leaving the " black plank ' or is it a solar panel offcut on the West Roof near the upper corner of the Solar Panel installation ? Perhaps a later trip to retrieve this is planned together with another viewing of the Merseyside countryside - not to be missed !🤪🤣
I think that they are the walkways that they used when the plexiglass roofing was fitted. I just want them to cover the solar panel cable tray over. The black cables on show is sh@te!!
They're the Design ultimately, in the original plans, these were glass, this was rejected by the planners. The black panels are a mix of Solid panels, and perforated panels where there are stairwells, etc.
@@geoffreythyer1858 Ha! Yes, you'd hope so if it's a working line. But these weren't for quite a long time before even the pre-EFC buildings on the BMD quaysides were present and the buffers were removed at BMD because of that. The Heritage Stakeholders wanted only preservation, not restoration or embellishment. It's why there aren't trains, coaches, or more significantly, coal-trucks on the line either.
It wasn't, for some reason half way through the video he flipped the image so it looked like the stand was on the opposite sides. If you actually look what stands what you'll see the North Remains white.
Original comedy eh? Try it sometime. Can't beat a sharp as razors, self proclaimed wag. Well, you can like. Just got to make sure you don't get caught...
The stadium does.look good,but I think your going to miss Goodison,For me the triple decker stand,shame a similar stand could not.be incorporated in the new stadium without the columns,perhaps with a video screen underneath the top deck,perhaps winning a couple of premier league titles and European Champions league cups a expansion might realise it,it's probably a impossible structure to build anyhow.
I'd imagine there's easily space to extend the East stand. And when Friedkin buys the other dock, then they're be room to extend the South stand......let's move in their first and see how we fill it over the next few years.
First and foremost - well done to everyone for the outpour of support toward Zoe's Place. Secondly, this stadium is looking better and better each update. It's going to be a beautiful additional to this already charming city. Thanks, Nick.

Some late-in-the-day PoI's:
1) @ 2:43 mins, for the OCD-challenged viewers, it's about time that they inserted the final 3 base plates to the end, last of the 13 Columnar Elm trees.

I'm curious about the section of water between the stadium and the river. If it's to be navigable, do you know if there are new gates planned for each end of it?
It will be staying the way it is 👍🏻
Won’t be navigable
I was looking forward to seeing the grass seeds germinate and the gradual greening if the Pitch, but in this Technological Age things are not that simple...
Thanks for the update, Nick. Brilliant! Do you know when they will finish the top bit beneath the silver canopy? I think you mentioned in a previous video that it will be finished with a sort of greyish/black cover.
I assume you mean the flat concrete roofs. Dark grey screeding sealant will be applied - one of the last outside jobs (probably next month)

The lighter coloured asphalt is the final finish 👍🏻
Do you know whether we will have a Sky Cam system installed at Bramley Moore?
I think you mean the spidercam - yes, they will install it for live televised games 👍🏻
Hi Nick , I've said this before but no answer there is a dark spot on top of the main entrance and shop roof, is it a patch ? or just standing water seems to be their quite long now, good video as always.
It's standing water that collates occasionally and when it gets dried up you can still see a sort of water-mark left behind.
Just a couple of Qs. Which side will the dressing rooms be, and the tunnel leading to and from the pitch? Where will the visitors team coach get access onto the site? Thanks.
Neil, the Players' Dressing Rooms are in the midst of the West Stand Ground floor, with the Away Team to the north of centre and the Home Team at the south of centre. You can see the player's tunnel and team dugouts in the West Stand similarly next to the pitch centre-line. Both Players'Coaches will access the site by the Tower Gate at the NE corner and drive under the North Stand overhang to the central wide tunnel of the West Terrace in good weather but will stop at the north end of the mezzanine, nose under, in poor weather

Won’t be one of the first matches because it’ll be this time next year. Not Great Britain either - it’s England v Australia. Hasn’t been confirmed yet anyway, they’ll probably opt for Old Trafford
Which one is the home team dugout there see to be more seats on the left side than the one on the right great vids tho mate
The home dugout is the one furthest south (left as you look at the west stand)

It'll just be used for Car Parking spaces (mostly Disabled ones) and some pedestrian access. Longer-term there will be a SW Pedestrian Entrance point, when PEEL have completed the development of the West Quays of Nelson Dock and beyond, as it'll be part of the planned Mersey Walk all the way from the National Gardens.
I intend to live there. In a secret plywood bedsit.
I am still confused about what the road and parking setup will be for behind the North and West Stands.
The road from the entrance appears to end in a large rectangular area which looks like where the team coaches could / will be parked.
Where will the players enter the stadium on a match day?
The gap between the vertical black posts doesn't seem wide enough to allow any vehicle through and onto the north bridge.
How will the Car Park on the West be accessed?
Is there a route for vehicles onto the south bridge or from the adjoining area?
One for David and Dunc to get stuck into I think!
Hi everyone the pitch is coming on great but will the frost kill the seedlings because the weather is getting cold know.
There’s a reason why undersoil heating is used…
Also, right on the west coast, frost is less severe, usually. So keep it covered,

hey nick great vid as always but quick question i know u have touched on it a few times but on the topic of the everton sign across the south stand glass and everton in white seats across the west stand and EFC on the south and 1878 on the north its clear they arnt going in now bu maybe after the hand over would everton themselves do it because to me thats a massive part of the stadium anyways keep up the good work and lets hope we survive relegation UTFT💙💙
Ben, the seats are planned to be all blue. There MAYBE some Illuminated Signage in the Windows as that's approved in the plans and there are plenty of Illuminated Signage locations allocated on the brisk facades, the barrel-cladding, portals etc. I respect your opinion re multi-cloured setas but to me, personally, I think they just are an eye-sore, as they always look like a terrible fit compromise and as if kids have been playing tetra. Besides which full attendance always obscures them. I never go to a match thinking that people obscuring the seat patterns kills it.
New owners say it is too small. They are wanting to increase the capacity. In short, amend the stadium before opening. Architect says cannot increase size. But the west stand can be extended backwards. It will give a lopsided look like Anfield.
John: I'd say you've been had by journalists trying to increase clicks and readership. This ground would involve super-costs to expand in terms of the pitch bowl and attendance. The whole stadium has been designed and engineeered to be as one. You'd be having to reengineer from under the ground and remove the whole roof. What is MUCH more likely is that they could look at expanding the W or E STANDS (not the bowl) to increase hospitality and other event facilities. I don't doubt that TFG are keen to increase income generation with added facilities but increasing match attendance will be a very, very different financial risk/reward equation. The equation for the move from GP to BMD is that in attendance measures only, about 15k extra seats have cost about £800m, in seat capacity alone.
It'll take about 15-20 years to get payback from the cost of this stadium as it is, never mind adding mind-boggling costs for disrupting and reengineering the whole stadium and completely ruin the image.

Removing the roof, extending back one stand, then putting back most of the roof building an extension.
*1)* Too small.
*2)* Wrong location, should have been the Garston gas works site.
@@johnburns4017 John, FM and Usmanov dreamt big even with the huge cashflow they had going back 5-8 years ago. However, tehy were sensible enough to do proper market research and 53k was a figure they reckoned they could deliver with the close-and-intimate priority brief which would offer the best profitabilityin payback for outlay. Only Covid and War in Ukraine shot those reward-risk ratios to smithereens and we can't balme FM for planning for something he couldn't have dreamt happening. None of us could. The financial **** we got into was really emphasised by the sudden £300k uplift and its repercussions.
TFG are too smart to throw money at poor return investments.
I do expect them to investigate how to increase the footfall and the footings of the assets on site as well as the opportunities nearby.
Personally, I just don't see any attendance capacity uplift investments (I don't count the potential future legal constraints on safe standing in that) UNLESS, in all our dreams, EFC become so successful that the demand goes through the roof, metaphorically and therefore literally.
i respect your opinions. Have a great evening.
Is there going to be a ferry from Birkenhead to the ground ?
Who knows? Maybe in the future, but nothing is planned at this point.
Would cost a fortune to construct a port. I doubt it, unfortunately
Only if the monks row over....
👍👍
At last Laing O'Rouke have removed the black bundle? which was on the main roof above the shop entrance - thank you, thank you. Unfortunately they are still ' teasing me by leaving the " black plank ' or is it a solar panel offcut on the West Roof near the upper corner of the Solar Panel installation ? Perhaps a later trip to retrieve this is planned together with another viewing of the Merseyside countryside - not to be missed !🤪🤣
I think that they are the walkways that they used when the plexiglass roofing was fitted. I just want them to cover the solar panel cable tray over. The black cables on show is sh@te!!
Whats the music at the start of the fly around?

thank you✌️
Can anyone explain why the brick facades are not in uniform all different gaps
It’s just the way they are
They're the Design ultimately, in the original plans, these were glass, this was rejected by the planners.
The black panels are a mix of Solid panels, and perforated panels where there are stairwells, etc.
Let's hope we're not going in there with Dyche. UTFT
Buffers at the end of the train/tram tracks would finish things off don't you think
I get your idea but they weren't located there before. The rails will lie pretty well up to the new fence-construct.
@@davidbadcock2225 Whatever David, but all the train/tram tracks I know have buffers at the end
@@geoffreythyer1858 Ha! Yes, you'd hope so if it's a working line. But these weren't for quite a long time before even the pre-EFC buildings on the BMD quaysides were present and the buffers were removed at BMD because of that. The Heritage Stakeholders wanted only preservation, not restoration or embellishment. It's why there aren't trains, coaches, or more significantly, coal-trucks on the line either.
That is going to be one hell of a cold place to be in the winter.
The sea is warmer than the land in winter, so it won’t be as cold as Goodison or our old ground Anfield
😂 How far down the possible negatives list did you have to go to get to that...?
HI Nick
Great video as always.
Did you see the North Stand lit up blue the other night.
It's on Above us only sky's channel.
Peter & Antonio
It wasn't, for some reason half way through the video he flipped the image so it looked like the stand was on the opposite sides. If you actually look what stands what you'll see the North Remains white.
@@rosse6705 Absolutely right 👍🏻 He cheekily flipped to a mirror image so the south looked like the north
How tatty does that parking area look , hope they’re going to sort it out, if you do a job do it properly,
Everton goodison😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢🥺🥺🥺😔😔😔😔😔😔😔
The cut outs at the front of south stand and other stands are far to big must have lost around 600 seats
I know it’s ridiculous who needs disabled supporters anyway.
should be the best stadium in the championship next season 👍👍
Original comedy eh? Try it sometime. Can't beat a sharp as razors, self proclaimed wag. Well, you can like. Just got to make sure you don't get caught...
The stadium does.look good,but I think your going to miss Goodison,For me the triple decker stand,shame a similar stand could not.be incorporated in the new stadium without the columns,perhaps with a video screen underneath the top deck,perhaps winning a couple of premier league titles and European Champions league cups a expansion might realise it,it's probably a impossible structure to build anyhow.
I'd imagine there's easily space to extend the East stand. And when Friedkin buys the other dock, then they're be room to extend the South stand......let's move in their first and see how we fill it over the next few years.
