Everton have offered a fresh update on the Bramley-Moore Dock stadium, setting a new deadline on a key feature.
With sprawling progress having been fast-tracked in recent months, truly solidifying the awesome visuals of their waterfront arena, it only makes sense to move onto a more aesthetic portion of the build.
After all, there have been huge strides forward in this regard, despite things off the pitch not quite aligning.
The continuation of this monumental build represents a sole glimmer of hope for the club…
What’s the latest on Everton’s Bramley-Moore Dock stadium?
Well, given the remarkable work achieved on the infrastructure and the implementation of thousands of blue seats of late, it only makes sense to now move onto arguably the most important part of the entire stadium: the pitch.
Speaking to Everton’s official website, Laing O’Rourke Project Director Gareth Jacques would offer the following update on its installation: ‘We are working to a schedule that means we will finish current works using the pitch area by early May.
‘The pitch area still has all the granular material from the original piling and crane platform underneath, which needs to be dug out.
‘We have some service ducting to install around the perimeter and then some preparatory works to be ready for the specialist contractor to begin the pitch install itself, which should start in June with a programme of works lasting about 20 weeks.’
A glimmer of hope for Everton
This has been one of the darkest and toughest campaigns in recent memory for Everton and its fanbase.
It almost seems ridiculous that this is the same season in which such huge strides have been made with the new stadium, with milestone after milestone struck with immense precision and newfound stature.
The rate at which their new home is growing on the waterfront is so impressive, and it marks arguably the sole shining light in an otherwise dull term laden with disappointment and setbacks.
There is no doubt that the appetite for Everton has diminished alongside their form, which has seen them fail to win in 11 Premier League matches now.
And whilst the Bramley-Moore Dock does draw intrigue, unless Sean Dyche can conjure up a string of better results, it will mean little and excitement will remain reserved.
