Images reveal a deluge in the stands with the deluge soaking the concourse of the 52,888-capacity stadium
Footage has emerged online of water surging down the stands of Everton's new stadium and into the arena's concourse.
The video shared on X, taken inside the Toffees soon-to-be new home at Bramley-Moore Dock, alleges a 'leak' has caused the downpour. Water can been seen running into the concourse before the stairs and stands are seen under a deluge. The camera pans up to the back of the stand with water seen flowing down from the roof.
The video posted by @_______reece reads the caption: "@Tesco I think one of your new stores has an issue." The video was viewed over 180,000 times an hour after it was first posted, with many taking to the social media platform to mock the arena which will host Everton games from the start of the 2025-26 season.
The 52,888-capacity stadium is situated on the banks of the River Mersey and is expected to have cost more that £800m to build. The Toffees had kept option to move in during the 2024-25 campaign open, but that will now be the final full season at Goodison Park instead. The decision not to move mid-season was driven by commercial and logistical reasons, and supporter feedback.
Everton added there will be a series of events to mark their departure from Goodison Park, their home since 1892, throughout the 2024-25 season. The official Everton Stadium website reads: "The result is a football-first sporting arena that will be the envy of the world. Atmospheric. Inspirational...a home befitting a football club with rich traditions, a passionate fanbase and an ambitious future. Everton and the city of Liverpool have a bright, exciting future together.
