We are in safe hands, this company is based in my home town in cumbria and are exceptional at this job , they have installed pitches worldwide and you will never find any complaints, i even have their artificial grass in my garden.
Being a villa fan our pitch has been done like this for several years now and this technology will make the finishing touch on your stadium amazing, we also have 2 identical pitches also sewn together like villa park at our training ground so during training the players will be training on a replica villa park pitch ,fantastic stadium evertonians 😃😉
It IS going to look stunning, but I can’t help but feel that with Dyche and his style of football, this surface may benefit our ball possession opponents more! The irony in that! 🤣 Can’t wait to see it though! Nice informative video, Nick. Thank you 💙
@@kevingill648 Dyche doesn’t play the football I personally want to see as an Evertonian. Can’t deny he did well at the end of last season in bizarre circumstances. 4 months without a win, though, long ball after long ball and poor use of his subs. Limited resources, yes! In a weird kind of way, he was probably the only man for THAT job. But for me, a progressive Everton, in our new stadium with hopefully new finances, isn’t one led by Sean Dyche. Game of opinions.
Excellent research Mr Drone and well explained. Sounds like the pitch is going to be as smart as the ground. Best wishes, Graeme from Portsmouth. Play Up Pompey.
Afrernoon Mr Drone, dont mind reds, hammers flag , and villa, ( l lived in Birmingham a few years ago) , but l am a Rovers fan , ( white army), l remember a few years ago when the England ladies team complaind about the white army banner at the Borough Rd end, T.R.F.C. Dont forget where you got William Ralph Dean from.!!!. TRANMERE ROVERS. There is a little estate of Laired St in Birkenhead called Deansway, by the North Star pub.
In a way, it could be good that there's no proper update till next Monday. There should be much more to see that's been done and new stuff to look out for.
A friend of mine who works for Laing told me there's been signs of major groundheave under the East stand causing flexural cracks to the concrete substructure. They're planning to excavate a confined area of the sand foundation and pump a polyurethane material in. Hopefully it's an isolated incident but it's concerning.
I wonder what the sides of the pitches will look like. I'm a fan of the red concrete or stone used at the side of the pitch at Old Trafford. I also wonder if the pitch will be raised like Old Trafford or flat like at Anfield?
lee: the pitch will be raised in comparison with its surrounds, as the general principle is to create an elevated water-table which is then controlled for water in and out. It will have a camber as that aids the passive gravity-flow and helps prevent any water-logging over time. Some say that it influences wing-play too!
Nick sorry you are unable to fly at the moment. But I've enjoyed this update today. If the flight restriction proves long term which I don't think will happen but if so would everton allow you to film update from inside the Stadium
It will need cutting all the time. It's still going to be over 90% grass like all the other pitches at top clubs in the league. They just add a certain % of artificial rubber fibres so the grass is more durable and can be played on more regularly. That % is always less than 10% so it basically isn't to far off just a standard grass pitch.
Tony: you can see where the level of the pitch surround will lie next to the bottom of the terraces by the level of the manholes that are present at various points around the pitch area. That pitch surround will have a camber on it (slope upwards slightly) to the current level of the fusion-welded membrane, as the plan is that the pitch itself sits on an elevated water-table, so that the water in and out is controlled in a very specific way. The gradient of the camber from the pitch edge to the centre is not specified anywhere that I have yet found and there doesn't appear to be legal limits set by FIFA but my guess would be that it will be similar to that of the GP pitch. In which case I doubt the highest point of the pitch will be much above the level of the bottom terrace flat and certainly not above the first seats when they are in the lowered position. I'd be interested to find out from someone what the planned cambers are to be.
Best i re-write this comment on the right video...... Im disappointed that the stadium is looking like a multi-story because of the brickwork . I love the location and weirdly i like the glass side with the wavey light reflections. The glass side reminds me of a train station and an old swimming pool. Do you know where the architect got his inspiration from?
The brick facades and the black interstitial paneling reflects the Albert Docks, Tobacco Warehouse and the Titanic Hotel, so as to pay homage to the dock warehouses (maybe multi-storey car parks took THEIR inspiration from those buildings!). The N and S glass windows take their inspiration from Lime Street Station. The top half (roofing) is to display a modern concept building of different material and form/shape with the passage of time since the old Victorian Buildings. There are numerous nods and winks in the concept and a prime objective was to ensure that the building does not look like a uniform, sterile blob, with every angle and view of the compass revealing a different appearance, as an organically-grown stadium would have.
@god_ynwa The Brickwork is so the stadium ties in with the surrounding buildings in that area like the Titanic Hotel & Tobacco Warehouse. It never would have got passed being modern top to bottom so they've gone with the best of both. I actually like it like that because it makes it unique compared most stadiums.
Love watching your channel mate, as you know,, but one thing I'm baffled about is, the flags behind you,,, I'm sure as a United fan, good friend of the old school you prefer to show flags of west ham, villa, and, them before ours,,,!!!!
whats your thoughts on prem giving mu free ride to pass psr give them 40 covid allowance when all other clubs got 1 million plus on top 35 million for part sale without this they failed psr 100% but gave you and other clubs points deduction dont seem right to me
@@davidbadcock2225 wow that's pretty far ,I thought they said as close as 5 metres at one point but the initial designs had 3 tiers and 60k capacity,do you think thats changed because of rising costs post covid ?
@@DuncTheBlue1878 ye of course,been chosen because of the facilities but there's a few things that could kill the atmosphere imo ,like how many disabled sections are at the front of the pitch and not higher up
@@jack4500 The club commissioned consultants to help decide what the capacity should be. They contacted many of the fanbase and considered other factors - ultimately, the EFC board at the time decided on 52,888. Another factor was that the club were told to reduce the height of the stadium due to the heritage status. Considering there are 35,000 now on the season ticket waiting list, the 52,888 decision is obviously a mistake. The wheelchair access platforms around the stadium are to be commended and will definitely not detract from the atmosphere at all. I think 0.6% of the capacity will be for wheelchair users and this is higher than the PL average. The 7 layers to the roof will make this ground the loudest in the league.
As a United fan I did own a Liverpool training shirt. But when I grew to hear how much we hate eachother (in football terms) don't evn have a Liverpool stuff in the house. Only liked klopp. Rest all trash.
sorry but this video was boring, don't know why you had to read all of about the grass when we could just pause and read it ourselves at our own leisure, as you reading took away the usually stadium talk
This is an old video because there is a no fly zone in force. So essentially there is nothing new to say or see. You really don’t have to listen or watch.
A hybrid pitch with 5% artificial fibres? Don't like the sound of that. I can't see that it is progress. Football should be played on pure natural grass only. Drainage, watering, heating, fertiliser and artificial UV light in winter is all that is needed. Tis is bollocks. It's an experiment that will fail and need to be replaced. Mark my words. It will be a costly mistake.

You’re right Teddy. We should have installed an uneven gravel pitch really! 😂😂

Very good information Nick on how it's going to look, but how about when or if it needs cutting ? Good video as always thanks.

We have sis grass at Rangers, it’s top notch.
👍👍
Hey Nick, I see the no fly notice states it is an offence to fly without permission from Merseyside Police. Have you tried to get permission?
Yes Dave I have. They said they are not giving out any permissions at the moment.
Hi Nick, are they just having solar panels at one end? Cheers
Interesting
When all the layers of the pitch are complete how high is the pitch going to be compared to the front rows of seats ?
Tony: you can see where the level of the pitch surround will lie next to the bottom of the terraces by the level of the manholes that are present at various points around the pitch area. That pitch surround will have a camber on it (slope upwards slightly) to the current level of the fusion-welded membrane, as the plan is that the pitch itself sits on an elevated water-table, so that the water in and out is controlled in a very specific way.

I hate when in european games you see the first few rows not being used. Celtic Park in Glasgow is an example of this.

How long is the no fly zone expected to last?
Until Monday 12th

How far away is the pitch from stands ,looks about twice as far away as goodison ,5 metres ?
Not as close as Goodison - but BMD wouldn’t be a Euro 28 ground if it was the same as Goodison
Jack: from the approved plan drawings, I'd say the actual pitch white lines will be about 7m from the base of the concrete terracing.
