I remember watching the Spurs build. It became addictive. checked the webcam each morning before I did anything else. Construction of such massive structures is fascinating IMO
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Will watch with interest. The Spurs ground being more complicated as it was started with the old stadium still up.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Yeah there were so many interesting elements, as we also had to dig down first to create he basement level and then the roof was constructed using a compression ring system which saw a massive wired structure built at ground floor and then lifted up into position by being put under tension.

Also watching the single tier stand get bigger and bigger

Spurs also used a lot of the crushed concrete from old WHL to form the concrete floors throughout the stadium so it has the old stadium within it.

It is a heart ache to leave the old one but if they do a good job of the new one you will never look back.....feck UNESCO
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Will be interesting to see if any bits of Goodison are used. But think some of the non stadium walls etc may use some reclaimed materials as a nod to the old lady. Interesting that crushed bits of WHL were used as bulk/balast
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The weird thing is that despite it being sooo much bigger, it still feels like WHL in many ways. I think making the stands a bit more distinctive rather an one big bowl helped.

EFCs looks impressive from outside, not sure what your plans are for the internal layout

Not a bowl, looking at varying stand sizes/big home end behind goals.
Will be some design nods to the old design of stands, not many examples left of Archibald Leitch grounds.

What are the plans in Walton for when Goodison goes?

You should be aware of the Goodison legacy project surely?

Take a look.
