I can’t believe that I missed this yesterday. Thanks so much David & Nick for all your time & effort expended to bring this to us. It’s much appreciated as you can see from all the comments. Everton definitely missed a trick by not engaging/collaborating with you more in the early days Nick.
Nick what helps David put his information together is the quality of your drone work. It’s perfect and clear which must allow him to pick certain items up and he can then send them direct to you for us to view. Thank again David really interesting update on the west elevation.
@@davidbadcock2225 Hi David, I have tried to respond to your kind response but for some reason I couldn’t find a way of doing it so I have chosen this route and I hope you receive my reply. Just so you know I am from a construction tier one back ground and it’s a pleasure seeing all your responses to Nick and his followers more so as you say you’re not in the construction industry. You have one hell of a keen set of eyes to see items even I don’t notice. Keep up the observation and advice information it’s really enjoyable. Regards John R
@@johnrimmer5955John: many thanks for that. I shall carry on helping people see what I find, know or observe. I imagine you must find the BMD build fascinating if you have a Tier 1 Construction background.
@@davidbadcock2225 David more proud as being a blue it’s beyond our widest dreams. I look forward to Nicks updates and your comments like most blues and then it’s back down to earth once I see the teams results. I have just watched the Everton official update, just doesn’t have effort or excitement Nick has in his.
Big thank you to David & Nick for the research and presentation of this and the other videos. I also understand that the water channel will be where the pitch drainage discharges to, so the link to the two docks does also have a purpose.
Maybe on one of your weekend fly around you vids should get this David guy to come with you and have a voice over and let him talk about things he knows about the stadium looking at it live, he doesn’t have to be on camera if he doesn’t want to but it would be a good to see you both together.. one showing great footage while the other talks through the process and works of the stadium or if your viewers may want answers to a question he would be able to answer them maybe….. but keep up the great work I’ve watched your videos of the stadium from day one and will stay to the end.
Alex: I'm humbled by your 'request'. At least 2 droners have made that invitation. Nick has proposed other ideas too but I'm not convinced that it's necessarily the right way to go. It's not a camera or voice-over issue: in my career I have presented to hundreds at a time. Besides which it would take major planning. Have you noted the times that Nick squeezes in his moments (he's never sure when he'll visit site due to other commitments and weather-restrictions)? Geographically, I'm certainly not 'local', so several hours of journey comes into the mix as well.
It's a fantastic, informative and detailed presentation that David must have put a lot of work into researching and creating. How is David so knowledgeable about the minutest details regarding the materials, or is he one of the few to read and absorb the original plans. Thanks to you both for your continued efforts in keeping us all updated 👍🏼
Neil: the recipe involves a mixture of innate intrigue, a whole lot of 'determination', 'experience and knowledge', high-level education, any amount of internet browsing to taste and finally time-capacity. In the nature of my self-employed work, I have small gaps daily and I don't like being mentally idle. Like with cooking, the enjoyment is seeing people enjoy the eating.
Brilliant stuff again Nick and David. Really enjoy these "explainers" (just like the roof one) and look forward to many more. As far as I know "navigable" means it cant be navigated, i.e. boats cant proceed along the waterway and is really "just for show". Keep them coming!
If you’re ever in Newcastle do a StJames park flyover showing land around stadium - it’s a massive talking point for fans and you’ll be astounded by the views 👍 love your stuff.
Absolutely brilliant Nick and David! I really can't understand why the club/Laing O'Rourke aren't doing something similar, as all the information they do put out, appears to be a week or more after everyone else and it certainly doesn't have this content - Thank You Both! 💙
Anyone can view the final plans on the council’s website. Also, you can search ‘stadium db Everton design’ and scroll down to the high definition ‘renderings’ images of the final August 2020 design and zoom in 👍🏻
Thank you to you both for all of that great info!! David knows I like to have a friendly go at him so I know he won't mind me saying that I'm glad he is not in charge of doing the etchings on the benches. "Nil Stais..." would not be in keeping with our latin motto
I think they said work to the pitch will start in May, this will start with drainage, subsoil, under soil heating etc before a sod is laid. The grass will need to be down well before autumn so it takes ahead of test events early 2025.
Joey: thanks. Intrigued, eh? At least 2 droners have invited me to join them. Nick has also thought about other ideas but I'm not convinced. In addition, there is a logistical nightmare with Nick's rapidly-changing, condensed commitments and weather-dependent schedules and geographically I'm several hours away.
Nick if you look at some canal maps some parts of certain canals will say things like "Not Navigable" ie you cannot get your canal boat down them 😆😆😆😅😎
Great work Nick and David that clears up my concerns that that water passage was going to be permanently infilled shame about it being unnavigable though it would have been nice to sail my boat along the dock system and docked there on match days.. Ah! The wooden decking is a No no, we don't have the climate for it and if you look at the decking used around Princes dock you'll see its rotting and moss covered and slippy to walk on, granite sets would have been more practical here me thinks.. But great and exciting work on going on here.
I agree with you mate, my lads don’t understand the sentimentality as since they were born they’ve not seen any real success there apart from a few “good times” as bill put it. I think since bill kenwright took over there’s been no glory at goodison but I can understand to older fans who remember the great nights that have been at the old lady and will be sad when the doors close for the last time
Joe: there'll be only a small amount as you may have seen. The whole site is planned to be as low-carbon and 'sustainable' as possible. I've not seen any evidence of any plans to use any of PEEL's land, after the project completion, for any such facility in the short or longer-term, as PEEL have alternative plans for it.
@@davidbadcock2225 David, thanks for the response. I guess the high rollers will get Ubers. I just hope that Merseytravel get their act together with Sandhills for us plebs.
Boss video again Nick, thanks to Mr Badcock too. Got to say i liked the way you positioned yourself to cover the red s#£te flag in the background 👌😂 top man Nick 👍
First: Let's doff our Royal Blue Bobble Hats to David Babcock, who shows astonishing knowledge of the site for a Layman. His insights put the Club and their (slick but superficial) video updates to shame, imho... There is almost too much to talk about in this video but one thing comes to mind: will not the tunnel beneath the Western Terrace be dark and gloomy? And, is the 'Media Centre a bit of a disappointment? What's supposed to go in there - it seems like it encloses huge Batteries or something? Overall though, it's very impressive, isn't it?
The “media centre” is first and foremost the primary substation for the incoming power supplies and transformers to power the whole stadium. It got its media centre tag as the broadcasting vehicles will plug in here too and there are some facilities for those personnel. The western terrace tunnel will be artificially lit so doubt it will be gloomy but I imagine will be absolutely cracking atmosphere, think Goodison Road with a roof on! When it’s windy and the gates are closed it’s going to be even louder.
I see! I imagined it would be a place for Pundits to pontificate after games! Substation is what it looks like. Perhaps there'll be a Plush Studio for Pundits inside the ground?@@AI_PM
Thanks DB & Nick. Brilliant information. Is the site, once completed, going to be open for “day visitors” & tourists to visit the outside of the Stadium? I presume so as the Shop is there? The Hydraulic Tower would make an excellent cafe for visitors to the site. Do we know what the plans are for that yet?
Brain: thanks. You presume correctly. The site will be open at all times but generally the stadium itself will not be open. The Hospitality Lounges at the West Stand and the Retail Shop in the East Stand Portal will be open most hours. The Hydraulic Tower and Pump House is planned, loosely, to be a cafe and Museum but that is a broad plan, with no further focused details available, yet. Longer-term, the plan is for it also to become the north terminal of the Mersey Walk all the way from the Festival Gardens, but who knows how long that will take to come to fruition; certainly not until PEEL have completed Liverpool Waters development, I imagine.
Mac: this is quite a tricky Q to answer as it depends what your datum point is to be and the real underlying Q, especially as tides, weather and waterflows come into the equation. The normal accepted datum point is Sea Level, so that is what is on the diagrams and what I shall use here. The top of the lip of the proposed Composite Decking over the Secant Pile walls will be at 5.6m. The top pf the top step/bench on the Lower Promenade will be at 7.2m. The 'High Water Level' in the channel will be at 4.6m, the 'Mean/Average Water Level' will be at 4.3m and the 'Lower Water Level' will be at 3.8m. The diagrams don't actually state the depth of water itself above the 'bed' of the Water Channel, as the 'Bed' is not identified. But taking a ruler to the zoomed-in diagram on the screen and applying a scale assumed from the other reference points, I'd estimate the 'Bed' to be at about 1.75m. So, the water depth itself will vary between 2.0-2.8m. Does that answer your Q?
@@davidbadcock2225 Does it have to be that deep if it's not navigable? I simplistically assumed that the removal of sand could stop at a point when the water depth allows a person to stand up if they fell in when no-one was around to throw them a lifebuoy.
@@maccgordon8310 Mac: I can't answer your Q, as I'm not the architect or part of the Engineering team. I don't know to what degree it is a matter of choice or physical necessity. I THINK they are merely going to remove all the added sand down to the original dock bed.

@@johnburns4017 I appreciate your sentiments. Historic England wanted open water connecting the Sandon and Nelson Docks. The club had to incorporate the water channel into the design to secure planning permission from the council
@@DuncTheBlue1878 I am sure they wanted it navigable otherwise it is pointless, assuming EFC understood, but navigable not specifically mentioning. Then EFC block up the passage. Shameful.
Great video again Nick thanks . I want to ask your opinion on Friday 8th March footage . At 2 minutes and 52 seconds what do you make of the white object that flys north to south . These things have been filmed by other drone users and estimated to be moving over 500mph . It’s not a seagull that’s for sure . Have a look .
I'm a little puzzled why valuable land space is going to be turned into a water feature basically? The mersey is there to see, seems wasted space imho.
I don't think fans will have a cess to the mersey as it will be a controlled parking zone for players / stadium staff. So it is nice to have the water feature. There's plenty of space elsewhere (fan plaza east side) so it won't be cramped.
The club were told they had to have the water channel otherwise they wouldn’t have received planning permission. It’s because of the heritage status of the docks
The stadium designers have taken into account extreme storm events and the projected change in sea levels due to climate change - it’ll be fine and dry
I'm afraid it will be something like that unfortunately, and also climate change is speeding up. Honestly I just worry about my grandkids and their kids that haven't even been born yet. Sorry to digress, I go to New Brighton most days and I think your stadium looks brilliant and it's not finished, going to look amazing at night games. My name is Rich, a 50 year old lfc fan that remembers the friendly rivalry when we were battling for the title.
How much will sea level rise in 80 years? About 2 feet (0.6 meters) of sea level rise along the U.S. coastline is increasingly likely between 2020 and 2100 because of emissions to date. Failing to curb future emissions could cause an additional 1.5 - 5 feet (0.5 - 1.5 meters) of rise for a total of 3.5 - 7 feet (1.1 - 2.1 meters) by the end of this century.

The water will flow so it won’t go stagnant. Navigal just means open for watercraft
But will it?
*Navigable
The water channel won’t be navigable - too shallow for vessels
It should be fine every time the dock gates open ( Gladstone and langton ) river water will create a flow.
I guess this means there’s no chance of a ferry stop at the stadium? Anyone heard if this is planned / possible?
I heard mentioned a boat service from pier head along the canal to the dock by the ground. Not sure how true
Non Navigable or not navigable means a boat cannot be navigated down the water as in this case a boat can’t fit through pipes.
Or, sailed.
And the water channel won’t be deep enough for vessels anyway
