Everton's new stadium consultant, Dan Meis, has revealed some "really early ideas" of his Bramley Moore project to a Cincinnati audience in America - and was heckled when he refers to the Blues as "the real People's Club in Liverpool!"

Meis delivered a presentation on a proposed new FC Cincinnati Stadium earlier this month, along with Cincinannti owner Carl Lindner III, President Jeff Berding and fellow architect Michael Schuster.

But when he introduced Everton as "the kind of real People's Club in Liverpool" there were hoots from the audience.

Dan laughed, replying: "I knew I was going to get that!"

He added: "We have done a number of buildings around the world. I've spent a lot of time in Cincinnati as the designer of Paul Brown's stadium and did a number of MLB and NFL Stadiums earlier in my career.

"We're currently doing two international stadiums, one for AS Roma, one of the two main clubs in Rome, and we're currently working with Everton which is the kind of real People's Club in Liverpool so it's another chance of (shouts from the audience) ha ha, I knew I was going to get that!

"Actually the design of Everton hasn't been exposed yet so these are some really early ideas but one of the things we really focus on a lot is engaging with fans and the history of the site."

Dan then showed a slide of prototype images.

A much sought after stadium designer, Meis also revealed that he is currently working on expansion studies for Bournemouth and Leicester City.
