Everton fans are being urged to help shape the design of their new stadium.
Plans to move from Goodison Park to the Bramley-Moore Dock are gathering pace with the Blues aiming to be in their future home by summer 2022.
Architect Dan Meis will design the new purpose-built venue in the north Liverpool docklands area.
The Goodison hierarchy recently released the 11 key principles that will be used in creating the new ground as well as the future of their existing home.
Part of that process involves asking fans to complete a survey on the move, in a bid to ensure that all fans are happy with their new home.
That need comes in light of the mistakes that West Ham made in moving to London’s former Olympic Stadium, which has been plagued by fan complaints.
The deadline to complete the survey is February 23, with Everton chief executive Robert Elstone urging supporters to have their say while they can.
He said: “The Principles are designed to create a framework for the fans to give us their feedback on what we believe the key attributes and features of the stadium should be.
“And they are based on a stadium that may well break the mould but also a stadium that in 20 years’ time fans will say: ‘They got it right’.
“A real bugbear of mine is the gap between the first seat and the pitch and the way in which we build to accommodate different things and have this contingency in it.
“What I wanted to do is strip out the contingency in it, or make the contingency as tight as it could be, and push that first seat as close to the touchline.
“If guidance says this, then challenge that guidance, why is the guidance saying that? Is it guidance or is it statutory? Do we have to comply?
“And it’s all those sorts of things. Principle number one is about being a fortress and, largely, that’s about atmosphere and largely that is how close fans are to the action.
“There will be other things such as size and shape of the roof and how we stagger the tiers but ultimately it’s about getting the fans as close as we possibly can.
“If we can get the fans close, if we create that fortress, then it is going to be a great stadium. It is as simple as that.
“I said to Dan Meis, almost on day one, that if you can make this a place where the opposition hates coming to play because it is so tight, it’s so intimidating then you will have ticked the brief.
“And with a lot of other stadiums that have been built, I would be surprised if lots of them have started with that brief.
“I doubt many new stadia have been built with that clear defined over-arching brief which is about creating that fortress.”
