To be clear on not knocking the plans it's just that there was a lot of talk of a stadium similar to the Etihad Campus.

Thought we we're getting a mini stadium

Well it definitely needs to have a seating area, and Martinez mentions that too, but it's not really shown in those plans.

I cant for the life of me think why an U21 stadium would be a requirement. Its an ego thing for a club IMO.

Didn't get the impression it would be a stadium from the original discussion by the Echo
http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/spor...ws/everton-academy-stadium-set-built-11055799

The seating area is not going too big, but big enough for us to get the games on there. You need to have stands, dug-outs, accessibility and parking.”

The seating area always sounded like it would just be enough to pass the regulations to play the games at Finch Farm rather than have to travel to Southport.

The recuperation block is the key bit imo, something that Martinez has wanted since he first arrived.

Just makes everything easier, have full control, matches possibly won't be called off, everything will be in one place which may be good for the young lads to develop

True. If we still want to be known of it (academy and community stuff) then it's kinda natural thing from a perspective of us developing as a club.

I thought I'd seen a Martinez quote recently that it was good for young players to have matches on less than perfect surfaces so cant understand the need for this

It's so we don't have to share with Southport any more since their ground isn't the best and sometimes games have to be cancelled or played indoors because the pitch is unplayable.
