Blues urged to have their say on stadium
Everton are calling on fans to take part in a survey to help to shape the development of the Club's new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock.
The 51-question survey aims to assess what's important to Evertonians and focusses on the 11 ‘Key Principles' outlined by the club last month.
Fans can share their views by completing the survey, which will be available to those with an Everton customer number until 5pm, Friday 23 February.
Some of the key design principles included within the survey include stadium capacity as well as tunnel and away supporter positions. It also addresses what historical elements of the club and Goodison Park fans want to see incorporated into their new home, what features and activity Blues want around their stadium in the build up to kick-off and the level of technology that could be incorporated on a matchday.
Evertonians are also surveyed on how they currently arrive at Goodison Park, what modes of transport they may consider using for Bramley-Moore Dock as well as how supporters feel on the Club's plans to retain important maritime features as part of a stadium design.
Goodison Park has been the home of the Blues for 125 years and the survey gives Evertonians the chance to have their say on what legacy could left and how the site should be developed to contribute to the local community in a positive way.
Once the fan survey is completed, the results will be collated to help inform the final stadium design. Those fans who have registered and participated in the survey will be invited to participate in the next stage of the consultation process, including attending events hosted by architect Dan Meis.

Need to see some designs, funding detail and planning app to really garner some trust in the process.

Ask the fans = more delays & bullshit.
Don't ask = what about the fans view?
It could be they are doing this properly to avoid the Arsenal situation... or even the Man City one, both aren't loving their grounds.
Guess it is whether we believe this will happen or is a Kings Dock or Knowsley re-run.
Me? I reckon this may happen... but stress "may".

Why was this not asked a year ago, and does this mean we are still months, if not years away from actual drawings of the new stadium?
It really shows the lack of trust between the fans and the club, when what should be a positive event, is looked upon so negatively by many supporters.
Surely the club would do better in putting its efforts into showing us more transparency in the actual day-to-day running of things, and give us honest, realistic plans and goals for the near future, and leave the PR crap out of it.

And we're still supposed to have faith in these guys?

Steep sided with fans close to the pitch.
Done... Right, get building, you slack bastards.

It does not feel like it on the pitch right now but this stadium can and must be iconic and genuinely awesome. Everton Football Club and the City of Liverpool deserve no less.
What a great opportunity for fans to have quality input into the shaping of such a key stage in Everton's future.

It is obviously apparent that the best is far from good enough with Mogadon FC.

A detour of my funeral cortege to visit the new stadium post mortem is more than my funeral plan can afford.

Well said, I'm with you, I've started putting money away for my first season ticket at Bramley-Moore.
Now no fuckin' jokes about that, please!!!

It's the fifth law of thermodynamics. The longer one suffers the frustration of Evertonianism, the more likely ageing cells give up the ghost. I've had 71 years, mate, and I think I could do with a smoother run than this.
After all, it's only a few weeks ago we were being led to believe the architect had plans on the table he was looking forward to revealing.

And it took more like an hour, than the 20 minutes promised! I had to trick my viking brain into the 'think', instead of the 'destroy' mode. So that might have added to the extra time... :D

It's not an excuse, Dermot, it's a reason.
25 Posted 17/02/2018 at 18:42:12
(Would it be wrong to ask it to look like a kopite hanging from a gib from the air, after all it is being built on the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey!)

Whether we get what we want, it's nice to know the club are looking to build a fans' stadium, with supporters views in mind.
Once this has been looked into, we could then get some designs drawn up.
For what it's worth, I voted for four-sided stands with the home end like Borrusia Dortmund's.

I hope this all works out but, being an Evertonian, it is understandable I have doubts; it's one let-down after another and it's relentless.
Forgive my pessimism but one thing this club has taught me over the last 25 years is don't believe anything they tell me until I can see it with my own eyes. Get on with erecting this circus tent and these clowns running our club will fit right in.

The questions are set in such a way to guide the club to the preferred designs from the fans. There is an end date of next Friday. So if you want your say. Then get on the site, and make your opinion known.

It's going to be great!!

I have flagged this in one of the survey questions, if you forgot your password to log in, it then asks you for your Customer Number to send a password reminder which, in your case and mine in the past, I forgot my password, so could not get to my Customer Number.
Now retrieved mine and I have saved it in my phone contacts in my mobile phone.
I had to phone Everton to get my Customer Number.

Fill it in if you want to, don't fill it in if you don't want to. Just don't complain afterwards, oh hang on.
