I've never done corporate in any of these grounds but we've beaten them all in independent industry awards in the very recent past. Clearly our problems are many but our corporate facilities aren't part of the problem.

Great post

Of course £5-10m increase in revenue is a lot, but on the wider football spectrum it's a drop in the ocean. To actually redesign Goodison so it incorporates these type of facilities would likely mean the cost would so prohibitive that it would take years before we see any sort of gain on the balance sheets.

I also don't understand your theory of how a new stadium can eventually lead to £20m shirt sponsors, are you telling me if we'd moved to Kirby our lastest shirt deal we've just signed would have been worth nearly 3 times more than the one we've just got off Chang?

No, you're taking things too literally. You need to be slightly less serious and lighten up. Arsenal are the example I was using when talking about sponsorship. They were getting what, £6m a year? All of a sudden, this year, it rocketed to £20m. Why? Building on the foundations from stable and promising advertising opportunities.

No they were all my notes. Aye I did, maybe for the wrong reasons though! I was writing down Everton related stuff and not paying attention to the stuff that would help me on my exam.

Yeh mate Arsenals commercial deals are down to success prior to building the new place (which also funded the stadium) and being ever present CL contenders as I said earlier nobody has been revitalised building a new place first - nobody.

Is that Kirkby project still alive?

We won a sustainability award for our new LED lighting system in Goodison Park, so we're doing something well at least.

What, we got an award for retro fitting some LED downlights. I bet Bill collected it and its sitting next to his other Everton awards.
