No, never said that we would at this time, was just repeating the point made about future-proofing. At the same time you based your assertion on our one 50k+ average..... when as I showed, multiple clubs who had never averaged over 50k in their...

The biggest headache to a uniform expansion at Bramley-Moore is the United Utilities plant to the North. Particularly if we’re buying Nelson Dock, it’d be at least technically possible to extend in the other three directions. Cost would be the...

A successful team easily. Look at the waiting list even now for a team that's been garbage for 30 years.

Another point linked to my earlier one. Why do we have to fill the stadium every week? Like I said earlier, it would be nice to have a stadium with a bigger capacity for big (in demand) games. Just like the old days attendances were never...

It can be a very limited comparison. Only a few clubs had ever averaged over 50k before the current era. For instance, West Ham had never averaged over 35k in their history, now over 60k. Man City had never averaged over 42k in their History...

Nor had Liverpool till 2017. Man City first topped it in 2016. Villa & Chelsea never have.

They fielded it to investment banks several times and employed a few people to try to secure funding before construction started and throughout the build. There was barely anything above ground when USM dropped out of the equation. Initially...

I'm not sure Moshiri ever seriously pursued market funding. I think the funding model was basically just "Usmanov." Then when that tap ran dry, it was panic borrow to survive. Like you say, it's a miracle it's been built and we're still a...

I take issue with that. An incompetent owner and management of the club is what caused the financial issues. That was not the stadium's fault. The stadium may have also benefited with a proper financial loan instead of the way Moshiri financed...

I'm convinced all those crying about the capacity must have been asleep these past 2 years. How have you not noticed that this 53k iteration almost crippled us financially?

It's not the size of the stadium right NOW that's an issue it's the restrictions we have placed on ourselves growing further. This is EFC for the next 200 years.

We traded off a higher capacity with good expandability options in a poor location (Stonebridge Cross) for a lower capacity, almost zero expandability in a good but not perfect location - perfect would have been staying at Goodison, levelling the...

52k was always a joke

Average attendances have no bearing. It's a misnomer. In the past attendances fluctuated. Stadiums weren't always full to the brim, but it's good to have had a big stadium capacity should we need it. Better to have available capacity should we...

Yeah I think I can remember all the Everton players coming out in support, to commiserate with Dyche, none wasn't it. Do you just make things up as they come along.
