Season › 2024-25 › News Seeding of Everton's new pitch to begin next month Lyndon Lloyd 02/09/2024 12comments | Jump to last An update on Everton Stadium explains in detail how the foundations of the state-of-the-art playing surface at the new ground are being laid before the seeding of the hybrid turf can begin in a few weeks' time. The team won't run out onto it for more than a year but the building up of the pitch area is well underway so that when the time comes, the Blues have a new hallowed turf worthy of their tremendous new surroundings by the Mersey but also the Club's traditions in the 20th Century as having one of the leading stadiums in the country. With the "tiering up of impermeable membranes" at the base level and a "layered drainage system" that will allow for the reuse of raintwater already in place, a gravel layer has been laid on top ahead of the installation of the undersoil heating pipes. Seven layers will be laid over the undersoil heating area for the new pitch at Bramley-Moore Dock (evertonstadium.com) Article continues below video content The lower and upper root zones will then be installed and then seeding of the hybrid SIS grass surface which, like modern-day Goodison, will have synthetic fibres stitched into the roots to "interlock with the growing grass to provide stability, strength and longevity." Work on the new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock remains on course for completion at the of this year, with Everton set to play their first competitive match in the 52,888-seater arena in August 2025.

Utter shite. Paul Hewitt 2 Posted 02/09/2024 at 16:08:48 To be honest, I would rather be staying at Goodison if it meant Moshiri never darkened our door. Shaun Parker 4 Posted 02/09/2024 at 17:16:15 Will be the best stadium in the championship. Mark Murphy 5 Posted 02/09/2024 at 17:38:44 Oh my sidesI wish I had a pound for every time I’ve heard that!To be fair though, it’s not usually Evertonians that I hear it from.It’s usually gobshites and cnuts.UTFT Rob Halligan 6 Posted 02/09/2024 at 18:03:08 Funny that, Shaun. Did you make that one up all by yourself? Danny O’Neill 7 Posted 02/09/2024 at 18:23:23 We are not releegated and we won't get relegated. There's a long way to go. We couldn stry ay at Goodison and should have moved years ago. Brian Williams 8 Posted 02/09/2024 at 18:32:06 Ever had an original idea Shaun?That one's been done to death.Don't be a sheep........ Scott Hamilton 9 Posted 02/09/2024 at 18:46:01 Take no notice, Shaun. There’s a time and place for gallows humour and I’d say that we’re pretty much there.Right, who’s going to suggest that we might be playing Wrexham there next season? Brian Williams 10 Posted 02/09/2024 at 18:50:51 Scott. Humour being the operative word. Churning out something that's been said more times than "fuck me" doesn't really qualify. Scott Hamilton 11 Posted 02/09/2024 at 18:56:53 Brian - Maybe he was being ironic? Who knows. Presumably though, Shaun’s a fellow Evertonian? No need for everyone to pile on him given he’s part of the family. Brian Williams 12 Posted 02/09/2024 at 19:01:38 Sometimes when you say something on here, people will have a go.Read the threads, he's actually got off quite lightly. 🤣 Rob Halligan 13 Posted 02/09/2024 at 19:16:13 Scott # 9…….well seeing as you asked, I think you were the first one to suggest we’ll be playing Wrexham there next season.😁😁😁By the way, does anybody else keep on getting massive adverts for Peroni, which covers this entire thread?
