New Everton Stadium Discussion

[BNJ1878]

I did something i had never done before and went on to rawk tonight, in fairness they made some valid points about how we would fund it and questions about Usmanov. The majority can see the economic benefits it would bring to the city, i didn't get them to be raging with Jealousy and i must say i was disappointed in that.

The mask will slip as soon as it starts coming up out of the dock.

Particularly as they will be back in their usual spot of chasing pack at best.

Just sixty years of memories for me. Much as I'd like to wrench my seat from its mountings nothing tangible. Probably be some souvenir flag placed on the seat as you enter.

57 for me pal. First game v Blackpool. Ball playing for them. Got beat 1-0 but ai was hooked

Should;nt have opened my mouth. Have put the "mockers" on it. Don't all back it lads ! It'll fall at the first!

If it’s anything like Davek it will continue jockeyless to the end and be the first horse over the line where it will state to the other horses “I never said I’d be the first horse back with a jockey on my back, I said I’d be the first horse over the line“.

I’ve always been here sunshine x

That's good to know babe.x

 

[MikeH72]

Really? I think the local ones are the biggest bellends who never actually go to a game and only jump on the bandwagon when they’re getting to finals.

Yeah this.

It’s gonna be weird when we leave, admittedly I’ve not been to Goodison even half as much as some on here but have been in more than enough occasions over the last 35 years to absolutely love the place every time I’m there. I’ve sat all over the ground over the years (never in the top balcony oddly enough) and my favourite has to be the upper Geladys. It’s getting increasingly difficult to get tickets these days and is going to get harder but I’m going to try and get there as often as I can now before we finally say goodbye.

You're not missing anything. I've sat there three times in all the time I've been going to Goodison and it was bloody freezing every single time.

My first was nearly my last. My uncle took me and we were beaten by Blackburn. He said I'd put the crows on us and said get your uncle Jimmy to take me across the park. But "once Everton touches you".....

If anyone is in need of a laugh, go and have a read of the Everton thread on RAWK.

hOw WiLl ThEy FiNaNcE iT!?!?!

The irony of them calling us bitter. They’re pulling up graphs and everything trying to prove how we won’t be able to afford it.

Billionaires don’t play by normal rules, you absolute tossers.

I did have a quick peek. Comments about how we would afford it with the rising cost of steel. I think we know someone who can do us a good deal on steel

Would love it called the BLUE MERSEY STADIUM all lit up in Blue and White MASSIVE letters, that you could see for miles. Nothing could beat it regarding the RS

Other stadium name options:
1. Pride of Merseyside
2. Blue Waters
3. Sniff it Meffs

To keep the Goodison feel I hear they are transferring all the obstructed views to BMD

 

[Yarrgh]

Reckon Jeff will be delighted today. BM approved and ready to go, and the council loan / SPV was never progressed, which is what he was so upset over (right?).

Hopefully they get him back on to offer his congratulations and we can hear how happy he is at how it’s all turned out.

The city misses out on millions due to weasels like him. The lousy kopite rats.

The city misses out on millions due to weasels like him. The lousy kopite rats.

Listened to Jeff's effort via a tweet earlier this morning. I wonder how he's feeling now?
No doubt any of his thoughts begin with " but what if"

God bless us all, joyous news.

Corinthians 9:8
And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

HI people
So excited - amazing news.
I've got mixed feelings about Dan Meis...
He's obviously passionate about the blues, and seemed to have really done a great job with the design and the fan engagement - seemed to 'get us'!
Is retaining him in the project sentimental and old fashioned, and is his social media also doing the job of promoting his work and his work, or is it sensible and professional to have retained his services...
Just wondering about the professional aspect of it as I don't know how design handovers work in this
