Everton recieve double boost in dramatic week of stadium progress
Everton have received a “dramatic” double boost in their new stadium progress this week with a double installation of roof trusses to ensure two-thirds of the sections have now been completed.
The Liverpool Echo report that the penultimate 100-tonne section has been put into place in the centre of the north stand, leaving just one section to complete the second and final full-span truss.
This will be music to the ears of Evertonians who are itching to get into the new state-of-the-art stadium for the 2024-2025 season.
“Another hectic week of activity at Everton Stadium produced a double installation of roof trusses to ensure two thirds of the sections have now been put into place,” as quoted by the Liverpool Echo (20 February).
“The steel roofing structure at Everton’s 52,888 capacity future home at Bramley-Moore Dock took two big steps closer to completion following a double installation in the past seven days. The penultimate 100-tonne section has been hoisted into place in the centre of the north stand, leaving just one section to complete the second and final full-span truss.
“Similarly, the south stand saw the central section of the second full-span truss lifted into position. This larger stand, which will eventually house 13,000 Evertonians, supports three trusses in total.
“Each full-span truss consists of three sections with five of the six sections in the north stand now completed and five of the nine sections in the south stand done to ensure 10 of the eventual 15 have now been erected. That leaves five sections still to be installed, one in the north stand and four in the south stand.”
Coleman statue.
Would anyone be opposed to giving Seamus Coleman a statue outside of the new Everton stadium after Saturday’s sensational strike?
Maybe that’s going one step too far but the little Irishman once again proved why he is such an important player to have in this Everton squad.
Sean Dyche is lucky to have veterans like Coleman in his team, players who will fight for the badge and Premier League survival with every kick and tackle they make.
Everton however, does continue to be plagued by striking problems and Coleman worldies won’t solve this problem in every match played.
Nevertheless, alongside Coleman’s awe-inspiring performance and finish, Goodison Park is starting to look like a fortress again under Dyche.
Points at home will be key to beating the dreaded drop and the 12th man of Goodison will be needed to roar throughout the remaining games of the campaign.
Everton are slowly but surely getting there under Dyche, but there is still some way to go.
