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

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...

There were several potential sites. Kirkby effectively deselected itself as a site following the results of public inquiry years before.... on the grounds of public transport, so I'm not sure why it is even mentioned. Clarence Dock was a less...

Very few would be.... but Kirkby wasn't the only other option.

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...

Which is why the question of future-proofing of the stadium was also raised....... after all, there is no point of talking about future expansions if it's not spacially, logistically or financially viable to do so at that site.

Yes, I knew they hadn't, which by the logic applied to your previous comment about us having only averaged over 50k once, would suggest that LFC shouldn't pursue 60k+ either..... which is obviously nonsense.

It's as if people are convinced little old Everton can only be judged by the past while other, inferior clubs go from strength to strength into the future...

Averaging over 50k throughout the 60s and 70s, despite lots of success.

Historically, Everton have averaged higher than Man City far more times than vice versa. Only in recent times, with their larger stadium and success has that not happened..... and if you take actual attendances as opposed to tkts sold (many very...

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...

Which is pretty much what I said in my previous posts. The point however, was the issue of future-proofing was also raised. .... ie what happens if we do become massively successful in the next few years and demand does increase. Can the stadium...

I can't remember his exact words, but think they were quite colourful haha.

It's a fair point to mention the "future-proofing" aspect. In the next few years, Birmingham, Villa, Newcastle, Leeds, Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Man Utd may all be moving or going larger again. Can this site do the same if ever required...

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...
