New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

I’m in agreement with this, even though those legends are associated with GP, they are still a huge part of Everton’s history.
Just move both statues to our new ground, yes they are associated with Goodison but they are even more associated with Everton - and my early era as an Evertonian was the Kendall, Ball, Harvey era (and a bit earlier). We've moved so they should move with us. For the time being at least we still have a presence at Goodison so they can still be commemorated on site there in another way. Could you imagine LFC moving elsewhere and not taking Shankly with them or Utd with Busby and their version of the holy trinity?
 

As an aside...at the point of sale when purchasing a stone, it said that the limited edition stones will be placed immediately around the legend's stones. Turns out they are not, mine is immediately below the timeline. What a relief
 

One of the statues has been leaked - it’s Tony Hibbert.

There will be no new 'legends' for Everton within the next 20 years. What we gonna do—spawn an FA Cup in 2039 and make a statue of whoever the captain is on the day?

Our golden periods were the 60s and 80s. Nothing will come close to that likely in any of our lifetimes on here.

There is a 'legends' match against Roma—look at the absolute state of the players that are taking part.

Take the statues from Goodison and erect them at The Dick.
 
In order to take the Dixie and Holy Trinity statues to BMD for those plinths, we’d have to remove the statues from their current bases and fit them onto bases that match the dimensions of the new plinths. That would mean totally redesigning the bottom of those statues to fit the plaques on etc. They’re also different heights, so would look weird flanking the East stand. it’s not as simple as just lift and drop.
