There taking the pi@@ to be fair,been watching footage for months now,and the progress is absolutely shocking ,and thats with a CCTV round the clock footage lense almost, Imagine how far behind they would be without people monitoring them.
hi nick i think when Everton leave Goodison they'll ask Liverpool if they would be willing to play a farewell friendly and knowing LFC they'll agree and the stadium could be opened up hrs before kick off and close well after the game with the players coming out and mingle with fans of both clubs on the pitch making it a whole day party atmosphere
As I said on a previous video, I fully believe that the seating area will be completed and open for the first match - they will be making that the main priority. Any delays will be to the hospitality areas in my opinion. So open to full capacity from the 1st home game and the facilities as and when they are finished.
This is a huge construction project. If it takes another month to complete then so be it. You certainly want them to do it right and not rush. As for the season schedule, I’m sure there are many contingency plans in the works with the EPL. Perhaps the good people of Everton could make Goodison available for a couple of matches when the blues are away. Or just switch the home and home dates on the schedule. These things happen and everyone needs to be flexible.
Mr Drone if they are going to be a month behind ,last week they stopped putting many workers on site and reduced the numbers ,some days it is so quiet and for god sake how long does it take to finish the roof there is so much brick work to do do they only have a hand full of brickies .all the columns to be finished and both ends of the stadium .My point is you can see this like a sore thumb so why do they only do half a job like painting the steels nothing ever gets finished ,i have been watching these videos from the start so much time wasting and workers just sitting around ,like the small triangle which links the anfield road to the main stand still not finished and they have been working on this for over 4 weeks .the cladding has to be finished under the new see through roof and the flood light fitted ,but the under roof over the new seats need to be finished so the scaffolding will have to go all the way along the new fitted concrete to fit the new roof ,this is before they can fit the new seat on the upper tier.When they do fit the new sets why have they not fitted the new seat from end to end all the seats you see in the new stand are only in the middle of the rows of the seats ,do not know who is conducting this build but they need a rocket up there arse .i have heard 1.5 million a week penalty clauses .Is the main reason they can not afford to pay the workers that would be needed to finish the build on time.like more brickies and painters for a start it is a joke.
love the pic phase 3/4/5, shows the corners filled in. Now that end stadium result with the roofs all looking good would be amazing, especially if it was 75,000 or more.
I would think they’ll ask for the first two home games to be played away. They’ll start with 4 away games, that’ll take us past the international break and have a first home game on the 23rd September
Mister Drone about in your previous video of the old Atletico Madrid stadium regarding the Kop. We can look at Aston Villa’s stadium they built over the road there too or even Ajax have a motorway going under their stadium.
Great content Nick, regarding the delay if you think back to when the main stand was done the seating for the stand was all complete it was just the hospitality and the new dressing rooms that where behind schedule. That was all finished about 6 months later so the stand was officially open but just not finished. Hopefully this will be the case this time. With regards to the Kop looking at the pic you put up I like the idea of going over the road but we are still gonna need to knock down the church and the pub to make it as big as possible or its just pointless to make a small increase.
@monty6995 there's plenty of empty land up the road for a new pub an off licence for you. Maybe they could even build somewhere things to make the area better, think outside the box a bit instead of focusing on your needs an think about Anfield the area.
The Kop can certainly be done, not a problem with a little stadium ambition and drive, and in any other major city it would be done. With our owners now, we will have to live to 150 years old to see it........
Great video as always Nick. It sucks that the project is potentially going to be delayed. I thought that the good weather might’ve helped but I guess delays that occur at anytime regardless of the weather. Although I’m a Red, I can see what you mean about being unable to do much with Goodson. Apart from the Park End Stand there is no real room for expansion sadly, whereas Anfield Stadium has that option (even though Kemlyn Road and Lothair Road have disappeared below the Sir Kenny Dalglish and Main Stands). Hopefully Bradley Moore will be a good place for EFC (as long as you don’t usurp LFC in the table! 😉)
Buckingham and the club will have been talking about any delays for a while, it’s most probably they have confirmed the final delay. You can’t just been on programme one day and the next day a month behind programme. Usually, both sides will be looking to discuss and agree delays and extensions of time to the contract on monthly basis. Suspect they will be looking at what work has to be done to open stand and what can happen after this. For example you will need safe access through stand but don’t need landscaping of Anfield Road complete.
How do Mr Drone!! Excellent videos as always 💪🏻Im Just curious if on your next video when youre answering questions, would it be possible to face Anfield Road End and do a comparison of Anfield stadium before the main stand and ARE were developed, that would give an amazing scale of the developments of the 2 stands. Thanks mate, keep up the good work 😎👍🏻
What matters is the safety of the stadium for all including the workers working on the expansion. Every single life matters. Never ever rush the contractors. They'd be the last party who want an unnecessary delay because they'd incur more cost. Be safe everyone.
Hi Nick great video I've mentioned to you about the stand not finishing on time previously so when this news breaks it will come as no surprise to me. Andy.
Not sure it is staying open in the corners. I was thinking this until the past week. You can see new steel structure creeping up which will be clad and therefore close the gap between the ARE and Main
I would say the capacity of the Kop could be increased using the existing footprint and not impinging on the road by increasing the height and the rake of the stand. Also, maybe making some of it seat free. However the effort/reward isn't great. £100m for only a few thousand more seats. Maybe one day? 🤞⚽️❤
Might not be about increasing capacity, but maybe just making the stands look more modern. Real Madrid have spent £500m to reduce their stadium capacity by 1 seat.
Mate a month behind is proper bad publicity for their firm, I have heard of a week or 2 but 4 weeks makes them look bad. Surely Lfc can claim compensation because they will lose a lot of money now.
@@smiggs2214 👍 I worked in Demolition for years and I have seen serious amounts of money having to be handed over because of delays, usually only a week or so too. So 4 weeks is going to cost Buckingham an absolute hefty amount 😬
Said it wouldn't be finished on time. Hardy any workers on the site any one time. I've seen them ying down on the roof, one fella doing chin ups while others were working. There doesn't seem to be any urgency on ite atm. Brickies taking forever, gaziers took ages to install a few glass windows. They seem more worried about drone users than the stadium.
A few days ago, there was talk of reducing shifts of which I felt if true, was rather a bad move. The new talk of possibly being a month behind schedule kinda vindicates my thoughts. I hope the construction will be sped back on track.
Hey Nick, your coverage is amazing thankyou. However its disappointing to see that every stand is different, I'm hoping at some point the SKD Stand and the KOP are updated. The SKD stand really needs to mimick the main stand. Lets see.
Hi Nick, that illustration you were sent first surfaced 4 or 5 years ago, the guy who posted it has his own YT channel and comes up with a lot of weird and whacky ideas on how the stadium could be expanded none of which are practical or will ever happen for a multitude of reasons. The club have no immediate plans for the Kop but might well have done some feasibility studies in conjunction with KSS and the city council. (KSS by the way are the architects who designed the main stand, the Anfield Road expansion, the Axa training complex and academy as well as the club shop) Something you might not know is that it was their American parent company that deigned your Bramley Moore Dock stadium. All the work they do for LFC however has been through their UK based division. All the information being released by the club suggests that the next phase of what they refer to as further stadium upgrades will focus on the SKD stand but that will be a total refurbishment and not a significant expansion. We definitely won't be buying up or demolishing those properties on Skerries Road, that's simply not going to happen mate and quite rightly so.
Hi NIck, thanks for the clip again. The picture that you've been sent that you showed at 12.05, is quite old, I think somebody has clipped this image from a TH-cam clip called Anfield Phases 3 & 4, or something similar. It's a very good idea, because the footprint of The Kop cannot be expanded because of Walton Breck Rd, joining the S.K.D. and The Kop is a good way to increase capacity, though I reckon that will only increase by 1 or 2 thousand, maybe, if that? And for what expansion of the S.K.D. that this design will allow, I can't see F.S.G., or Liverpool funding it. Really a worthwhile expansion would need properties on Skerries Rd demolishing, and Walton-Breck-Road re-routing. So I can't see it happening any time soon. Re: what you said about the corner of the Main Stand and the A.R. stand remaining open, I don't think that's right. On looking at plans for phase 2, both the Anfield Rd corners of respective stands are going to be enclosed with grey-panelling. (unless plans have changed or you know any different). But I can't see why they wouldn't be enclosed, for security purposes, and playing conditions. But, if you look at it, The Anfield Rd stand is not The Anfield Rd stand design, somebody has just mirrored The Main Stand, and altered it's dimensions. Looks fan-made to me, by somebody with some art program skills.
Extra expansion to Anfield would hinge on if and when the public transport issues are solved. As in train line under 3/4 of a mile away from the stadium or a mersay rail sub type station close by. As the curent situations is going to be very stressed with the 60 ish k from the stadium once this phase is done. Maybe things change when Everton move to the docks. But as of yet the transport part needs adressing before anything is looked at for further expansion
I watched the early footage on Monday about 6am, I thought not a chance it will be complete. Roof, cladding, curtainwalling, way off programme. Externally works package hard landscaping, delayed. The pitch alone needs to be done, until everything is clear, it will not be happening. Also enjoy your update. YNWA
Its going to cause a bit of a headache for LFC if the stand is delayed, you've got to consider the fact that you've got season ticket holders in the new upper tier as well as away fans being moved to the furthest two blocks next to the main stand as well in the upper too, so its going to cause some issues. i think the most likely outcome is that games will end up being reversed, so I suspect the Bournemouth and Villa games will most likely end up being played away, so it gives them until 23 Sep to get everything done.
When the original roof was being lifted out I heard somewhere that they were working 24/7 on it? Was that true, if so could they not just do that for another month or so and double the pace and have it done on time.
if there is a delay. it means the whole approach to building approach was not the best. again they should have built a totally new Anfield Road stand, totally and completely behind the current anfield road.
Think there’s still grass by the goal as it’s reseeded and looked after regularly during the season as that’s an area of high traffic, ie the goalkeeper standing there constantly - probably why it’s grown back a bit after some rain
I have seen this before and year ago. Looking at that illustration, it does seem like a great compromise over a new stadium. Adding seating, comparable roof heights and incorporating existing newer stand (Main & Anfield Road). Facia's will be similar to mainstand and Anfield Road with brick facade. Filling in the corners is certainly something they could do now between Kenny Dalglish and Kop End. What Do you think?
Hi Nick Thanks for the update. The possible delay news is bad, but not surprising. The Brickies are onsite only 5 days a week and then only a small number are on any one day. The cladders are not exactly pushing themselves either. The big focus on putting up the crest was a sure sign of attempting to distract us from the obvious real issue. Many thanks 👍
It would be hard to come up with a more ridiculous suggestion than yours that the crest was put up to fool our online social media followers, you really do need to get a grip.
@@ronaldwilliamson1347 Bricks are stacked up high on the carpark and only two brickies visibly doing facia work. Three pillars have been half finished for over two weeks Cladding stacked high with reserves on the roof.
Great video and update. So saying a month behind that means the Bournemouth game will be away. So Chelsea Bournemouth Newcastle away. Then there's a international break until England got 2 games last one 12th September. Then it's wolves away 16th September. So prob looking at 23rd September first home game West ham.
It's the houses behind the KDS if an extra tier could go ontop and make the kop little bit steeper a extend it to match the other stand we'll have the best football stadium in England it's just trying to expand without interfering with houses and roads etc imo
Hi Nick, I don't begrudge Everton getting their new stadium, from a Red, Blue family so see the bigger picture, I think it's great for the City and can imagine how the waterfront will look from the Mersey when it's all lit up. From your BM videos it looks like Anfield is visible from the southwest stand so you can still look up to us 😅. Also I work near the Wrexham ground so will let you know if there is any movement onsite.
Apprently 24/7 contractors on it now. Another 55 men on the job. They've said it will be ready for the 2nd home game just got this information of someone i know
Great vids Nick! Question for you - did we miss a simple solution to the Kop and SKD stand expansion space/road/housing issues by not shifting the main stand and Annie road stands back and moving the pitch over?
I must of missed something because wasn't it said month's ago now they were way behind,an wasn't it also said it so something like a million pounds penalty for every week the build was delayed on handover to lfc ? (Allegedly). Good video as always theirs many of you'se doing videos of the build now so we don't miss a thing.YNWA
hi nick if the delay is true then where are LFC going to put the away fans because of the seats in the rest of the stadium are taken up of LFC season ticket holders and general sales to the LFC supporters, and they can't restrict the tickets to their own supporters as they are priority in home game which applies to all clubs, the only way round this is asking the premier league to switch a months games to away and hope the opposition clubs entertain the idea
Got a different question, wouldn’t be possible cause of what Everton want the stadium for, but as an Everton fan: would you have ground shared Anfield with Liverpool for 3 seasons whilst goodison is demolished and rebuilt in the same place?
i do not get if they are so far behind why stop 24 hr work? why not increase work crews and go back to 24 hr work? surely for a project of this size and the nature of the project this has to be a very high profile job that they are not delivering on time which is not exactly great publicity for the construction company.
Why did they stop working 24x7 if behind? Can't get workers? Cannot see spending what it would cost to do the Kop like your illustration as the cost/benefit wouldn't make sense and footy is ALL about money these days.
Is it me or do the contractors not seem to start and finish anything, seems completely random approach, especially the roof and cladding, brickwork also completely random starting half way up etc. would just seem better to me to start and finish full sections 🤷♂️
Thank you, great shot❤❤❤
Top stuff mate - imagine the penalty clauses per day/week/month for any delays on the project 😱
Looking good now.
If it’s January they’ve got 7 months to finish, they’ll be more than happy with that 😆

Too much risk of injuries playing Everton in a friendly.
Liverpool would need assurances that Pickford, Mina, Holgate weren’t going to play

@@CraigTheBrute-pf8zh as long as all the clubs and the FA and Premier League agree, then I don’t see a problem.

Nothing strange about not working of a night. The noise us residents have had to put up with is bang out of order.
Unfortunately Liverpool are poor neighbours.
Nick it wasn't hard to see with people's own eye's that no way was the stadium going to be ready for 3rd home in the season .

HI Nick Thank you for the update did you manage to get in touch with your friend KC
I manage large construction projects and just looking at your videos it will be Xmas before the stand is complete
Correct the inside will be the last to be done and they havent even finished the roof yet.
There’s never any workers there, the bricking is slow, the roof? have they cut back on workers or something?

Nick as you brought up Everton, have you information about the old ground, also what you think about both female teams and youth's using Goodison .
Great video and update. So saying a month behind that means the Bournemouth game will be away. So Chelsea Bournemouth Newcastle away. Then there's a international break until England got 2 games last one 12th September. Then it's wolves away 16th September. So prob looking at 23rd September first home game West ham.
The roof doesn’t look as comprehensive as the old one. Looks like those on the front few rows are going to get wet through
How’s the new stadium in Stanley Park coming along. FFP is wondering
It's the houses behind the KDS if an extra tier could go ontop and make the kop little bit steeper a extend it to match the other stand we'll have the best football stadium in England it's just trying to expand without interfering with houses and roads etc imo
It's been obvious for a while that the stand would not be finished on time....not great PR for the builder😢😢😢
Hi Nick, I don't begrudge Everton getting their new stadium, from a Red, Blue family so see the bigger picture, I think it's great for the City and can imagine how the waterfront will look from the Mersey when it's all lit up. From your BM videos it looks like Anfield is visible from the southwest stand so you can still look up to us 😅. Also I work near the Wrexham ground so will let you know if there is any movement onsite.
Why has the cladding took so long
Apprently 24/7 contractors on it now. Another 55 men on the job. They've said it will be ready for the 2nd home game just got this information of someone i know
Would it be a good idea to swap the kop with the new Anfield Rd end stand
Hi Nick great video.
As you look at the back of the stand are they covering it or leaving it open to all weathers
Should be made to play Luton Away if the Stadium is not up to spec 😅

Have got 2 say at moment it looks great. Great videos keep going. Can they ever make the kop 2 tier???
The KOP has to be 1 Tiered
Great vids Nick! Question for you - did we miss a simple solution to the Kop and SKD stand expansion space/road/housing issues by not shifting the main stand and Annie road stands back and moving the pitch over?
100%. Said this from the start of the redevelopment. We are now hemmed in. There is no future development for the kop etc.
Simply not viable financially.
Hi nick I was just wondering is the grass growing by the kop because it looks like it is
if its true and they are behind then all effort should be put into making sure the lower tier is ready to go for whenever the first game is played.
I no this won't be popular but will they just close the stand for the games at home
We’re are we going to put the away fans same as it always has been or are we going to put them in the gods like Newcastle (A)
Did you enjoy the England game?
I don't think they're leaving those corners open, they're getting filled I'm sure of it
Should have never sacked that bloke word on the street he was doing the work of two men😊
You’ve always had an issue with dates 😂 good work regardless
why have they stopped halfway on so many jobs sure finishing them when your already doing it makes sense and time
I must of missed something because wasn't it said month's ago now they were way behind,an wasn't it also said it so something like a million pounds penalty for every week the build was delayed on handover to lfc ? (Allegedly).
Good video as always theirs many of you'se doing videos of the build now so we don't miss a thing.YNWA
Is that why you’ve got a body warmer on? Thought it was January? 😉
Well I’ve remained consistent from the outset saying it would not be completed in time
Mark
Do u think it will be done Mr drone???
hi nick if the delay is true then where are LFC going to put the away fans because of the seats in the rest of the stadium are taken up of LFC season ticket holders and general sales to the LFC supporters, and they can't restrict the tickets to their own supporters as they are priority in home game which applies to all clubs, the only way round this is asking the premier league to switch a months games to away and hope the opposition clubs entertain the idea
a contruction worker just got fired for"filming inside" like wtf! feel sorry for the dude!
Got a different question, wouldn’t be possible cause of what Everton want the stadium for, but as an Everton fan: would you have ground shared Anfield with Liverpool for 3 seasons whilst goodison is demolished and rebuilt in the same place?
They are already building a new stadium so that won't happen. Maybe there can be a ground share with Everton and Liverpool ladies.
@@brucegarethgeorgethat’s why I asked, would you have. As in past tense.
Gareth Parry I think there are too many size limitations on the Goodison site.
It looks like more seats are going in on the Anfield Road Stand lower tier at the Main Stand side? Thats the rumour anyway
Yep increasing the size of the away fans section.
KSS better than Buckhingham
Don't ask don't tell
Called it weeks ago
November 1st, 2023, opening day.
i do not get if they are so far behind why stop 24 hr work? why not increase work crews and go back to 24 hr work? surely for a project of this size and the nature of the project this has to be a very high profile job that they are not delivering on time which is not exactly great publicity for the construction company.
Why did they stop working 24x7 if behind? Can't get workers?
Cannot see spending what it would cost to do the Kop like your illustration as the cost/benefit wouldn't make sense and footy is ALL about money these days.
Is it me or do the contractors not seem to start and finish anything, seems completely random approach, especially the roof and cladding, brickwork also completely random starting half way up etc. would just seem better to me to start and finish full sections 🤷♂️
I heard not joining all round because if clubs do they ave to pay extra tax because keep separate stands I heard but only ear say
Are they really finishing the two final iron joints? 😂😂
