It has never been the cost, it has always been the issue of buying the houses. There are also schools in the way, councils would get a lot of protests if those had to be knocked down.

Their stadium is only 12,000 seats though, the price tends to increase massively the more seats you want.

If it's an ongoing project then you see where the obstacles are and try and overcome them. People buy houses, so why can't Everton? If you end up failing to get the lot, sell them. Everton could blow £xm on a bad player and nothing is said so why not on land around the ground?
Perhaps that would make a good fan trust, buy up the houses in Gwladys Street. Rent them out as a return on peoples investment. Then sell/give them to Everton.
I'm certainly no finance expert mind, but if you don't try, you don't get.

A bigger version of Red Bull Arena would suit us I think.
I love my little fantasies when it come's to Everton, and with the news last night on Talk Sport about expecting Everton to have a new stadium in 5-10 years, it kinda got my hopes up ffs.
So, was wondering what stadiums everyone would like it to be similar to or modelled on?
Mine would have to be a smaller version of Dortmund's Signal Iguna Park.
Fantastic stadium and it's not a boring "bowl" either.
The new Juventus stadium.

It irks me why we can't at least add another tier onto the Park End. It was designed for this and surely would be both easy and relatively cheap to do. It would add 4/5k onto Goodison's capacity, plus corporate boxes. There is literally no logical reason why this hasn't been done other than the shortsightedness of the board
And what's going on with that new superstore Sodexo were meant to be building for us?

Surely it would be easier to upgrade goodison in stages rather than find land then have council problems and money issue to build a new stadium . First add a tier to the park end with boxes then if generates more income and better attendaces then slowly upgrade the other stands
There is no room.
Do you guys think we could buy the houses and land and schools around the stadium build a new school and houses on Stanley park were the ****e were moving to and not add a tier to the park end but build it backwards so it dosent need posts and would look like the Dortmund kop , then knock the bullens down and build it further back in the space which the school has left with being moved to stanley park
The two issues are forcing people to leave their homes/getting permission to knock down a school, and finding the money.
Do u not think the promise of a new school with better facilities built before the old one is knocked down
Perhaps, but who is going to build that school ? Will it be nearby so that kids who live locally can still walk to school ? etc.
The council could pay for it and move it to Stanley park the council are helping lfc so why not help a school improve
Liverpool council have no money mate. They already tried to help us with the King's Dock which we royally messed up, they owe us no favours.
