5pm announcement

Hey that’s the saying under my Avatar lol

 

[anton66]

They say they're aiming for 52K which will probably drop to 45.

 

[orly]

Absolute unmitigated disaster that capacity.

Christmas utterly ruined and I for one put this FIRMLY at the feet of Denise B-B.

 

[Brisan123]

Yes but unfortunately 69696 is no longer viable

I’d say that could be arranged via Craigslist if the finances are available lol

 

[mahermi1]

Tbh, why couldn't they just have started with 55'000, then gave the added sweetener of an increase capacity up to 62'000. Then I believe, could be wrong, most Evertonians would be reasonably happy with that. That pitifully 3'000 extra seats would put us in the top five biggest grounds in the premier league.

It's the first time on the Internet I've masturbated in anger rather than self loathing my deluded frandel.

You’re an Evertonian so that’s 100% not true.

 

[ToffeeTim]

That's really not true at all mate

Like it or not, they're a massive club now

Their global fan base will eclipse ours

We have great local support, but nationally and internationally we don't compare to the likes of Man City, and nor will we if we don't start winning stuff

I think it's fair for us to be asked to justify a big stadium with our performances on the pitch first. At the end of the day, if Moshiri wants us to win a couple of pots before adding another 8k onto the attendance then that's his perogative. It's just his own money he's wasting at the end of the day

The important thing is to actually get the stadium, because it'll be huge for us, even with just the 52k

If we had a fraction of their success then we'd fill 55k week in week out. There wouldn't be a spare seat in the house for any match.

Globally they might kick on in terms of fans. But this is match going numbers I'm talking about. How many they have in far flung places with glory hunters latching on is irrelevant. Their support is utterly dreadful.

They are an excellent football team with the greatest manager since Fergie, but they are a proper tin pot outfit in other off field areas.

You know we're going to attract international glory hunters if we ever have success right?

It's a necessary part of being a big club, so I'd suggest canning the snobbery towards it

Don’t wanna miss this

 

[The binman chronicles]

Don't City only have 55k anyway? Not a massive difference

They'll be 62k soon, they are all set to add a third tier to the only 2 tier end.

He sounds quite pleased by all accounts.

I'm not being snobby. I want us to have all them things. We need to create something that makes kids in random places want to support Everton.

My point was that global fanbase is not that relevant to a capacity discussion. It's the match going potential that is key and obviously that means domestic UK based support. Ours is miles bigger than Man City. The overseas tourist trade is only ever going to be a tiny fraction of attendees for even the biggest clubs.

Such a little word

 

[witchdoc187]

There's no point building a stadium that's half empty every week. 52k is ok for us. If we need more we can extend it in 30 years time
