New Everton Stadium Discussion

Do we have any reason to think that's actually possible?

I think its possible but may mean compromises are made.

It's easily possible to fit 60k on that site but it might be cost prohibitive.

Thats the reason I think it wont be 60000+.
Although I think 52000 is too small they may compeomise at 55/56000

Can't believe they (seemingly) haven't even considered overlapping tiers.

Probably for financial reasons

He owes his entire social media presence to leaking transfer news (fake as it turns out).

What an absolute cretin

Plays on naivety and manipulatio to boost his profile.

This.

Is most likely the correct answer. If it's only a small overlap though that would allow us up to 55/56 there must be a close case to justify it.

Close no doubt, but no cigar...Over capitalisation.
Putting a £75k kitchen on a £100k house in a £125k area wont make it worth £175k
Edit; and you still have to pay the over inflated mortgage

No expert but I'm sure a small overhang akin to tottenham/Millenium isn't cost prohibitive.

So you want us to be amongst the greatest clubs on the planet on the field... but you are asking for realism with the stadium. Hmmm.

Ha Ha Ha.

You really haven't got the hang of the concept of contradiction have you?

There will be no major redevelopment of Goodison regardless of whether BMD goes ahead or not. It will not provide the increased revenue to justify the expense.

A club a third of a mile away did exactly that and have.

Yes by forcing people out of their homes, do you really want that to happen just to expand Goodison Park?

At this rate of progression, I predict we will have a new ground from 2024/25 season.

Goodison is situated differently. IIRC the need for compulsory purchases would be minimal and the rebuild would not flatten the surrounding streets around any goodison redevelopment.

I just don't think it's the done thing nowadays if it can be helped. That might be partially due to cost but you do get letterbox (well not that bad) views with them.

When I was watching the tennis the other week they showed a view from the back of the centre court stand and you could just see the court and maybe enough rows to look at the umpire's head. I know in this case that was the roof that caused that, but the same principle applies. It is far more immersive to be in the open to see all the stadium.

That said the biggest nod to Goodison would have been to have overlapping tiers bringing everyone in a bit closer and I think there would have been nothing wrong with a 5/8 row overhang.

Billionaire Chairman or no, we're not a bad risk, but we're not a AAA credit risk, having a good record of CL participation like say United and similar.
And, what ever you borrow you have to pay back
