New Everton Stadium Discussion

It has too. I saw somewhere that back in the 1900s some group or other rearranged it, moved / repositioned / lifted / stood some stones back upright... to where they thought, they might've been.
there is an early photo out there.

"This is one of the dark secrets of history archaeologists don't talk about: The day they had the builders in at Stonehenge to recreate the most famous ancient monument in Britain as they thought it ought to look.

This picture shows workers on the site in 1901 in a restoration which caused outrage at the time but which is rarely referred to in official guidebooks. For it means that Stonehenge, jewel in the crown of Britain's heritage industry, is not all it seems. Much of what the ancient site's millions of visitors see in fact dates back less than 50 years.

From 1901 to 1964, the majority of the stone circle was restored in a series of makeovers which have left it, in the words of one archaeologist, as 'a product of the 20th century heritage industry'. But the information is markedly absent from the guidebooks and info-phones used by tourists at the site. Coming in the wake of the news that the nearby Avebury stone circle was almost totally rebuilt in the 1920s, the revelation about Stonehenge has caused embarrassment among archaelogists. English Heritage, the guardian of the monument, is to rewrite the official guide, which dismisses the Henge's recent history in a few words. Dave Batchelor, English Heritage's senior archaeologist said he would personally rewrite the official guide. 'The detail was dropped in the Sixties', he admitted. 'But times have changed and we now believe this is an important piece of the Stonehenge story and must be told'

Well we arent going smaller are we?

52k is bigger than 40k.

"In a time when others are looking to go bigger with new stadiums, we go smaller. "

Somebody is defo doing a stupid.

You know his point is 52,000 isn’t big enough, you know this full well.

Plenty of posters on here have said that.

I don’t know where you stand with capacity but I would like to hear it.

Its not their stadium. They paid £0.00 to get it built, and they pay little more than a Super Kev a year to play there. Pretty sure if we priced all our tickets at £12.50, and were given BMD, we could fill 70,000.

Oh, and the second rule of football; West Ham SAY loads. DO a lot less.

Whether we like it or not, they’re in it. We claimed we had big, ambitious plans for the stadium. From the leaked documents, and Meis’ comments, we can see that has been scaled back massively.

They’re trying to do it, they’re seeing that teams are trying to expand. We’re trying to build the 8th biggest club stadium in the country.
