Just to add to this, I remember hearing from Meis at the time that plans were announced that we were limited to around 55k as that is the highest you can safely go to at two tiers.Can’t say either way on the capacity as don’t know enough but perhaps there was a trade off on the location vs size.
If you build a 70k seater stadium out in the sticks then it makes extra money on match day because of the capacity but is empty other days of the year apart from any events you can put on.
If Everton get this right with the riverfront location, and the community that will spring up around it, there’s the potential to make money from that stadium every day of the week.
Business conference? Have a waterfront view.
Fine dining? City location with river view
Music festival? Here’s a city centre location with facilities
Drinks? At your favourite Everton themed city centre bar
Quite simply the high rollers of this world do not want to spend their time in fields off motorway junctions, or in residential locked areas of Walton or Anfield. They want to stay at the top hotels, and attend events in the most desirable parts of the city. That’s what our stadium could deliver if Everton get it right. Revenue 365 days of the year. We may have had to compromise on the size to achieve this but honestly securing that waterfront location whilst Liverpool remain in the suburbs is perhaps the only proactive move we’ve made ahead of them in years. If we’d have given that up for a mega stadium in the sticks and left them to the city centre I’d have been devastated.
Just a thought. If we are now looking at the dock next door, then we could have filled that one also and plonked the stadium in the middle of the twoJust to add to this, I remember hearing from Meis at the time that plans were announced that we were limited to around 55k as that is the highest you can safely go to at two tiers.
The overall footprint needed for a 3 tiered stadium is much larger than the site at Bramley Moore, and there were no other sites big enough anywhere in Liverpool.
Well… he produced designs bigger than 55k for that site.Just to add to this, I remember hearing from Meis at the time that plans were announced that we were limited to around 55k as that is the highest you can safely go to at two tiers.

When you find the perfect world that you seem to be forever looking for can you let us know. I'm sure that we'd all like to live there.A law firm that goes back to the slave trade period.
It wouldn't take too much digging to get the dirt on any Liverpool maritime company going back to 1810.
Think of the marine life that got relocated to the dock next door, now you want to evict them againJust a thought. If we are now looking at the dock next door, then we could have filled that one also and plonked the stadium in the middle of the two

100% but 53k nearly killed us. Can you imagine 60 plusAs magnificent as our new stadium is and as magnificent as the location is, I do think they were short-sighted to go for 53k.
