Disagree Finners.
Fans are rightly passionate and should right to voice their opinion without being sneered at;
Keep seeing people sneer/brush off Evertonians as being audacious/cheeky to actually question an 'expert' - what nonsense.
On capacity he's regularly dangled a carrot of 60,000+
But now, we have Everton with their 99% of fans want a capacity of over 50,000 line followed by Meis downplaying capacity, and about him knowing what size is right for Everton (shouldn't that be dictated to him?!), with him accusing fans of having 'size envy' and pointing to West Ham who inherited a stadium.
The fanbase can't afford to be placid because of the novelty of having someone at the club engage with them on twitter, or because they want access to him for interview.
Urgh...
Spot on.He's changed his tune cos' he's been briefed- he's the architect- although the club shouldn't hang him out to dry as the punch bag
I don’t know which is more dispiriting ,the prospect of a 45,000 twee hobbit like stadium sunk into a derelict dock to comply with World Heritage requirements and limited funds, or Evertonians decrying fellow Evertonians for daring to voice a critical opinion.
It’s all so Everton though.
He's changed his tune because he wants the job he's been cultivating for so long...cultivating fans and club for the contract.He's changed his tune cos' he's been briefed- he's the architect- although the club shouldn't hang him out to dry as the punch bag
57-58,000 imo.He's changed his tune because he wants the job he's been cultivating for so long...cultivating fans and club for the contract.
The big push is on now though for a 50,000-52,000 capacity stadium imo.
It should be that as of right to start off with and with a build that leaves us capable of putting another 10,000 on top.57-58,000 imo.
bang on! reading figures somewhere based on next season alone that we have sold 33thousand season tickets with another 7thousand on the standby list. so lets say that transfers to the new stadium so that's 40k already, plus another 7-10 thousand as overflow, day trippers, non season ticket holders, 3 thousand away seats plus high end seating and corp seating. Anything less than 55-57 thousand and we are seriously underselling our selves.It should be that as of right to start off with and with a build that leaves us capable of putting another 10,000 on top.
It just reeks now to me of Everton being dictated to by other parties who need us as the anchor for the whole dock development but see us as a nuisance they have to endure because if we have any ambitions on stadium size and design it could scare the horses and derail the project.bang on! reading figures somewhere based on next season alone that we have sold 33thousand season tickets with another 7thousand on the standby list. so lets say that transfers to the new stadium so that's 40k already, plus another 7-10 thousand as overflow, day trippers, non season ticket holders, 3 thousand away seats plus high end seating and corp seating.

In all the current mess (or opportunities if you want to be positive) I worry that Moshiri may be having second thoughts as he realises the massive expenditure in running a team as well as trying to get an ambitious stadium built in an ideal location but not ideal for building i.e. we need to fill in docks, WH status, dealing with Peel cowboys etc. I do believe he thought he would "inherit" the Commonwealth Games stadium that would give him a boost in only having to adapt an existing stadium.
He has paid off one failed manager and will hopefully pay off a second soon (What 10m/pair ?) plus he has spent massively on players who haven't performed, will be on great contracts and will be worth maybe half what we paid for, assuming we can get shut.
Any new manager will want his own "management/coaching team" and demand a massive transfer kitty for new players and meanwhile the stadium build cost is only going one way. I remember Alan Sugar at Spurs baulking at the players wages he was a mere millionaire then, billionaire now and lets face it how may employees of Moshiri earn >£100,000/week I bet its not many.
I voted for 50-54 but 55 would be fine to me and like many others have said can we just see some progress, any progress please ?
If you know your history......
