I'd say it's around 50 50, perhaps 60 40 to them in the city...but they have a huge fan base all around the country and the world, which we don't lol.

They have more fans in the city, you can't deny that.
A lot of it is attributed to casual footie fans who don't really care but say Liverpool when asked what team they support.
Everton have more matchgoing locals like.

Emotionally it's not the right move, but nobody can get away from the logical sensible reality that this move would bring.
But then do we watch football for logic or emotion?

The point is that every LFC fan i've spoken to is 100% against a ground share because it wouldn't benefit them at all. If Everton had the same status as Liverpool atm, would you to share a stadium with them??
As I understand it, San Siro was not a joint stadium, it was built by AC and then Inter moved in as tenants. Currently, as is the case with some other shared stadia (Turin, for example), one of the clubs is looking at ways to move out.
Reasons: the obvious ones if you think about it. The pitch gets overused and the administration involved in trying to run two sets of ticketing, marketing, and merchandising from the same limited amount of space is a nightmare. Plus every attempt to move forward or change is stifled by the historic rivalry between two mistrustful sets of club officials and supporters who believe that one or other is going to get an advantage out of whatever is being proposed.
Nonetheless I would worry more about the example of the Allianz Arena, where Bayern eventually used their financial muscle and the relative financial weakness of 1860 München (partially caused by club corruption) to buy them out, thus inheriting the entire subsidised benefit of the new stadium.

Sorry mate, I realise that - I have no idea at all why I linked your post.
That's a bit harsh mate isn't it.
i would have no problem sharing with them if we got a great stadium out of it.
All this "we hate liverpool fans" and would never share a ground with them is bollocks.
Half my mates and family are reds and i sit in their houses or have a pint with them all the time.

i think the reality is we could never afford to go half whack with the red [Poor language removed]. werent tescos funding 70% of the kirby stadium?
also they would want a 60/70 000 seater. we would struggle to fill it apart from maybe 3/4 games a season. meaning a half empty stadium every week, hardly a place teams would fear!
i was also a little embarrassed by elstone coming out literally minutes after the decision and offering to look into the possibility of groundshare. it reaked of cap in hand stuff with no plan b yet again. to add insult it was dismissed by the rs. another public slap in the face. (
surely if there is any cash available it should now be reinvested into goodison,

To be fair to Elstone, it's the angle being pushed on him by every media outlet (I wonder why, Cllr. Bradley?). What's he supposed to do - say he wants nothing to do with a share and give yet more hostages to the davek's of this world?
I didnt notice anybody pointing fingers at SunTanBob in this thread?
Look two posts above, then.

I think there'd be the possibility of some euro money for a shared stadium - does this make sense anyone who knows more?
