New Everton Stadium

[Timbucktoo]

So it was handed over to the club in time by the builders and within a few months of the club running things it’s all gone completely pear shaped?

Good to know that the fundamental uselessness we all know and love has survived the change in ownership.

That could replace Nil Satis Nisi Optimum as the club moto.

Pitch didn't fit and the stadium slipped into the mersey

They're just deciding if we are going to build it again or stay at Goodison

Probably rent Anfield.

The river Mersey is rising and the bottom tier will submerged by 2030, the year we finally get a winger with pace.

David Haddock of Newcastle and Leeds?

It was never going to be 'ready' for half way through the season, tbf. It was just going to be handed over, and it was, a day early.

That’s not what the club were putting out though - they made out it was a big decision to either move mid season or wait until the new one.

If we're playing the first three games or more away from home then Liverpool will have the first few at home as well I imagine?

It'll have to balance itself out

Has anything been announced that the stadium is behind schedule? No.

Im not sure whether moving mid season whas ever a consideration. As I remember it, it was just a notification that we would be moving in the new season. I mean, I wasnt alone in thinking that it would have been near impossible to have moved at that time amd had they got everything done, even in a shortened timescale, then we may have had like 2 months at the new place, with about 3 games.

Hadn't it also been stated that it was always in their plan to removed the pitch that was laid for the test events. That pitch was never fit for PL level football.

Laughing out loud here at the thought of us starting the season at Goodison, after all the teary farewells.

Rumours that we will be using Analfield for the 1st 2 home games, like old times

 

[NathDogg]

Be laughable if some of the wham on here turns out to be true, TFG need to really start clearing house with the backroom blerts.

Hand the internal fit out over to someone who knows what they are doing and move to a 3 shift work plan. Basically day and night work , 7 days a week.

‘If the build remains on schedule, it raises the question whether the club moves mid season, or alternatively, do we wait and give the grand old lady a fitting send off before commencing games at the beginning of 2025/26 season.

‘The decision will be reached in consultation with fans.. etc etc.’

Colin Chong wrote quite a bit about the decision the club had to make. Before announcing in Dec 2023 that we would wait for the start of the season.
