Hi David, sorry I replied to your information the other day whilst I was busy mate. Just to let you know we all really appreciate your assistance with putting our queries to bed. Between you and Dunc the blue it’s been a real pleasure. Thanks again and a large beer for you Dunc and Nick when ever your all available mate.

@@johnrimmer5955 Hi, John. Bless you for your kind words. Glad to have been of service.

@@mikeharbour835 Redshite have gone strangely quite for the 1st time in their ENTITLED LIVES..!!

@@martincummings7886 absolutely mate...the knobhead with the wheelie bin and cones..I'd love to see him, I'd give him so much stick...UTFT

Won’t be a vid - not allowed, unfortunately

It will be great. I just hope it won't turn out to be a Quagmire on all that sand...

QoTF: I'm not sure if you meant to use the word "turf" specifically or generically but they won't be laying turf specifically. Apologies for mentioning it if you meant generically. (They will be sowing seed from August, if the schedule for the rest of the pitch work still holds).

@@davidbadcock2225where have you been? You’ve been very quiet lately.. I always enjoy your input. I try to Mute Nick now he tends do drone on a little (forgive the pun) and my missus can’t stand his voice 😂

​@@alanrichards5659Hi, Alan. I've not been anywhere. Early doors on this project, I set out to fill the void of ignorance, not in a perjurative sense, but to educate and cut out the fakery and wild misguidance. It was a committed cause but gradually the audience has generally bridged most of the gap, so there is less need for me to interject. Added to which there are a handful of others who seem very keen to get their words in early, also as educators. So, largely my mission has been successful. I do still step in occasionally but there is less need. being more in the background also reduces the chance of people snapping back at me because they don't like being corrected or because they object to being given fuller information.

Pamela: yes, correct observation.

The droners aren’t allowed to film the visit, unfortunately

I just hope, given the sandy soil that it won't tuen into a Quagmire in the rain...

⁠@@mikeoglen6848 Sand is best for good drainage. Clay causes ‘quagmire’ conditions

@@DuncTheBlue1878 Agreed, dunc, but the drainage on site over winter has been shocking. Sand or not it's been a Quagmire last winter.

You mean 25/26? 😆

@@DuncTheBlue1878 yeah,the last three seasons have made me dizzy mate 😂

The ‘diamonds’ are air exhaust vents and they’re different depending on the number of extractor fans behind the barrel cladding.

Pete: if you mean the tunnel to the south of the Home Dugout (at 8:37 mins), that's for 5 Accessibility-and-companion locations, which is why you will note that there is already the barricade being fitted inn front of that area.

Yes, that’s the original dock wall. It’ll be covered up soon.

The lack of branding is because of the heritage status of the docks. Everton wanted more blue and a sign with our badge on the outside of the ground, but Historic England and the council refused.

Should be okay as American football pitches are smaller than soccer.

All seats will be blue. There’s a chance a sponsor will pay the club a fortune for their name or logo in white seats, but no plans to at the moment.

The floodlights were installed many months ago

@DuncTheBlue1878 sorry were abouts on all the drone fly rounds can't seam to see any

It will meet international standards

The 105 x 68 is the pitch area, there will be a few metres all round too, although it does look tighter than that on the videos.

Not if there’s no wind - all seats will be dry. If it’s windy, then some of the first few rows will get wet. If it’s the prevailing wind from the south west, the away fans will get a soaking 😆

They’ll all be the same tone eventually - oxidisation of the aluminium

You can buy two tubs of magnolia paint and neither will be identical.

@@stephenlinden-wyatt-ys8vyThat’s not true. You can colour match now mate and you’ll never notice the difference. Obviously I understand metals are different and react differently according to weather and environmental factors

@@alanrichards5659 😂😉

I'd guess that the new Castore jersey will be released before the first pre season game vs Sligo Rovers on July 19th.

New kit announcement is ‘imminent’ apparently. Absolutely pathetic that we’re in July and still haven’t seen our new kit, when most of the other PL clubs wore theirs during their last game back in May. This is why we need a new owner, CEO and Chair.

@@DarrenCowzer-cx7ot you’d think the club would be all over it with a big announcement so when it does come they have the fans excited and literally Queing up instead of it being a last minute thing with not much notice

@DuncTheBlue1878 - a friend of mine was on a photo shoot recently, the round collar one appears to be Legit - white collar with 3 skinny blue lines - mad that it's not on sale yet.

@@DarrenCowzer-cx7ot yeah mate I just find our club odd with announcements as the deal with Hummel has ended so why is no 1 non the wiser in what’s going on ?
