New Everton Stadium Discussion

[andy4efc]

I'm sure as part of the planning approval we're only allowed TWO non-football related events per year at Bramley Moore. Something like that.

I thought it was four, but I may be confusing that with another venue. Definately a limit though yeah.

You think promoters care one jot about how aesthetically pleasing a stadium would look?

They care about location in terms of infrastructure and audience, but all that matters in reality is capacity/% of ticket sales.

Whoever is responsible for selling the stadium on a non match day will have a tough challenge when it comes to attracting promoters for concerts.

….the Arena on the dock houses 11,000 whilst Anfield is around 50,000. Both have held major concerts in recent times as has the likes of Lancashire Cricket Ground.

I do think location is important as is facilities. Being a walk from the City Centre has to be an attraction to selling tickets.

 

[Azza]

Don’t know.
But the Etihad, Old Trafford (cricket), Anfield, even Leigh RLFC have all hosted big concerts in recent times.

Everton or BMD would need to fight hard, very hard to get on the accredited venue listing for the north west for any/all of the major concert/event promoters.

Pink was at Villa Park yesterday. Bruce Springstein is there on Friday.

Yeah definitely a limit, not sure exactly how many but it's not much.

Pretty sure the club could try for an updated licence in due course.

2 non-football events? There were far more than that at Goodison last season.

There was at least 18 where football wasn't played anyway.

Not by Everton anyway.

Major non-football events?

I believe this refers to events of a certain scale, for example boxing, nfl, rugby, concerts etc.

I was being sarcastic. A feeble joke about how awful most home games were last season.

I stand corrected, it was four.

I replied to you with the same joke

Loophole there is 'full capacity'

 

[AndyC]

Positive signs in that bramley Moore dock has been chosen in the uk& Ireland UEFA euro 2028 bid

will have no bearing with concert promoters

 

[AndyRJ]

Loophole there is 'full capacity'

Was thinking the same. I fully expect them to make use of the Fan Plaza for smaller events to be fair and that would fall outside of that condition. Can fit crica 11k on the fan plaza so still sizeable!

The facilities at BMD and media connectivity etc will be far superior to that of any other ground in the area. That and its relative sparseness of residential properties in the immediate vicinity will be see as a positive. BMD will be a preferred large venue over Anfield.
