New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[ManxBlue]

No mate nearly opposite, Upper North, behind the goal row 41, wonder if I have many neighbours on here ? Be nice to know how many season ticket holders we now have on here.

I’m block 240 Upper North, row 42, seat 212.

This is quite good from Colin Chong , we are five years ahead of any competitor and are in talks with Peel about buying Nelson Dock and building something “complimentary “ to BMD…

MIPIM | Everton’s advice to Manchester United? Don’t deviate - Place North West

Sports-led redevelopment has been a key theme of MIPIM, with both Liverpool and Manchester touting stadium projects at the conference.

Very impressive thought process by our new overlords. Clearly, we may need to expand the stadium when we are back in the CL. What better way to “protect the asset” than by buying the adjacent dock?

They might have to dig up Everton Way, mind…

Keeping Goodison for 10-15 years might mean we can rent it out to Sir Jim’ll Brexit For You when they need a new temporary home…

Are our new owners finding new ways to beat psr? Everton developments?

Up the Shoalway! What would you like to see next door to BMD?

A three-towered Bedouin tent.

PSR is easy to bypass, Chelsea, City, United and other clubs have been doing it for years, Everton could very easily have escaped any punishment if only they werent utter morons.

Or to give them a minor pass, if the Ukraine war didnt happen, that war utterly shafted us in every direction.

Imagine if we bought all the land down to Costco and developed retail, hospitality and entertainment spaces. We'd be generating revenue on man united levels.

Yeah, your blue section is basically what I had in mind. It might just make expansion possible without totally distorting the roofline and making everything totally lopsided like SJP or Anfield. Obviously the other side you could "easily" expand would be the east stand but this would have more chance of ending up ugly I think, with a silly looking mega stand stuck on the side. Cant ever see any scope on the North or West

Its a long way ahead anyway even as a theoretical discussion. But it would be nice if we were now the type of club that had half an eye on 15/20 years ahead and created options for ourselves.

The only reason we had to leave Goodison was because the footprint was too small to expand on. We can never find ourselves in that position again. We must have scope to go to 60 or 75k if we need to. Buying up surrounding land is critical.

 

[Drico]

Yeah, except it's currently a derelict dock next to a building site.

It won't look like that once it's actually being looked after.

But if we don’t own it, we have no certainty it will ever be looked after. The more the club owns around the stadium, the better. I mean, imagine if Liverpool moved in next door…

 

[Drico]

I agree, but this is not a bad 'substitute' like...

....or

Actually, David, THAT is the real waterfront view that impresses. I’m not a huge fan of the Nelson Dock-facing architecture - but the waterfront side is genuinely spectacular. Needs a ferry.

 

[Drico]

C’mon

Stadium capacity is not a precursor for success.

Not bothered what Newcastle do anyway

Every little helps.

I guess it depends on what any expansion would look like or to what extent but support posts/pillars could be put on the other side of the Everton Way without disrupting it. It would effectively form a tunnel underneath the stand similar to that on the North Stand.

Yes, as soon as I posted that I thought maybe they keep Everton Way but that it becomes a covered area (which supports the extra capacity in the stand) as you say. I really think we need the ability to expand when the time comes. No serious club wants to hem its growth in.

Y

Would it not be better and cheaper to take up the land and buildings behind the North stand ?

That would allow us to make that North Stand as big as the South.....also doesnt block the view of South to City.

It's the water treatment plant for north Liverpool mate, would probably cost some serious wedge and major infrastructure to reroute all the sewage

Yeah, I always expected the neighbouring dock to be swallowed up by Everton. It was unrealistic to believe it wouldn't.

A club with ambition should have the long term ambition to secure Salisbury and Collingwood docks too. Although I suppose the heritage luddites would go spare.
