Everton legends have hailed the ambition of the Club following a first visit to the new stadium site at Bramley-Moore Dock. Former Blues midfielder Peter Reid and ex-winger Kevin Sheedy were given a tour of the £500m waterfront build, along with Club ambassadors Graham Stuart and Ian Snodin. And Reid admitted he was blown away by the scale of the development, which has seen the four corners rise into the Liverpool skyline within a year of work commencing. The ex-England midfielder said: “It’s sensational now, never mind when it’s done, and I can’t believe how big it is. “Goodison Park has been a great stadium for Everton for more than 100 years, but the old lady isn’t getting any younger and I just can’t wait for this to be finished because it’s magnificent. “It’s going to be a great Premier League stadium and the supporters will absolutely love it.” The former players spent two hours on site, where they toured the northern edge of the development. The two north corners are now at their full 25m height in preparation for steelwork, which will eventually raise the overall height of the stadium to just below 45m when the roof is finally in situ. Stuart added: “It’s a pleasure to be here and it’s looking really, really well. The previous time I came down to the site, we were still draining the dock. “Back then, it was very hard to put into perspective what was going to happen, but now we have the four corners up and it is really starting to take shape. “The fact the roof will be nearly twice the height of the concrete structure gives you an idea of the enormity and I just can’t wait. “Everyone here has worked so hard, it’s all going to plan and the location is spot on. It’s what we’ve always wanted: a fantastic new stadium, right on the dock, and it’s going to be an incredible sight.” Everton FC

The piling operation for the foundations of Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock is nearing completion after seven months.
A total of 2,768 concrete piles, each around 15m deep, has been laid within the footprint of Everton’s new 52,888 capacity home.
The three remaining piles are to be drilled after the Jubilee break and all the work undertaken will ultimately provide the building blocks from which the concrete, brick, steel and glass structures will eventually emerge from the ground.
Indeed, the steel installation has already begun in the north, which will shortly extend across the two northern corners.
Piling ended this week on the iconic western stepped terrace that will overlook the River Mersey.
And with the drilling in the infilled dock now complete, the foundations are in place for the above-ground works to commence across the site.

The first of four tower cranes has been fully installed at Bramley-Moore Dock, as the steel installation at Everton’s new stadium continues to gather pace.
The 60-metre high tower crane has been transported to the site in sections and rising into the skyline during the last few days. The first of four tower cranes required for construction will be fully operational in the north east corner of the waterfront site next week.
A further three tower cranes will be installed on specially built bases over the next three weeks in the north west, south west and south east corners of the site. The cranes’ first job will be to help pull together the steel structure that will form the shell of the new 52,888 capacity stadium.
The four concrete corners of the stadium are now at full height, minus the roof structure, and the northern corners will soon be connected by the emerging steelworks.
Steelwork will also soon begin to be erected at the southern end of the site as the footprint of Everton's new home begins to take shape.
Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock is recognised as the largest single-site private sector development in the country, contributing an estimated £1.3bn to the UK economy, creating tens of thousands of jobs and will attract 1.4m visitors to the Liverpool City Region annually.
Once complete, the scheme will have acted as a catalyst for more than £650m worth of accelerated regeneration as Everton’s new stadium, alongside a legacy project at re-imagined Goodison Park, transforms North Liverpool.
