New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[roydo]

Phil Redmond was pushing a few months ago for it to be situated in Liverpool if i remember correctly @jinkyali

Rings a bell that. Sort of like BBC have done at Salford. ITV there as well arnt they?

...about the only thing the club have developed over the last 12 months of this.

How apt that you picked up on this!

The 'HQ' is staying in London. They're going to have a national centre type thing where most of the staff will be based.

It'll probably be Birmingham. Andy Street is a Con and has been pushing hard since he even started campaigning to be mayor last year. BCC has been battered recently so everyone Lab or Con is piping up for it as well.

3 steps forward 2 steps back if the capacity is anything below 58k, would make more sense to simply redevelop the Park End and take Goodison upto near 50k, saving hundreds of millions if the club are looking at anything below 55k.

Priced right we would fill 60k easily

I will go one better.

This was simply an advert to the world that this area is getting regenerated, Everton are the principle enablers and it’s up to you to get on bored.

I am told the council are looking at getting Channel 4 to put there HQ within the vicinity.

That's been a possibility/aim for a while. It makes sense tbh. I think there's a good home for them here. With Liverpool looking to be a plug and play city, it's the best place for film/TV to be. Capital and Centric have plans to make the Littlewoods building into film/TV studios as well.

Let's not forget that this was a business breakfast to inform local business people of the plans that are afoot on the docks, not a breakfast to inform Evertonians on the specifics of our ground. It's not the first of these forums and it won't be the last.

Fair enough really, I just expected something juicy to chew on.

The sooner some concrete news on the start of the stadium build,even if its just Meis showing us a replica model of it and showing that there's been some movement on stuff the better As usual the clubs PR/Media team are as much use as a paper bag in a rain storm :-(
The stadium needs to be as big capacity wise as possible and I'd rather we'd an 80000 seater stadium that could make money out of stuff like concerts, even offering it for Europa/Champions League Finals, England Internationals and staging cool summer tournaments etc or even Rugby or Cricket games would all add finances into club More to the point it will seriously dwarf anything the Redshite can do and it can be used to say do family tickets where a stand could be a fixed family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids under 16 free) area plus adding free seats to schools/charities etc to fill capacity!

Everton are as much good off the pitch than on and a massive change in the mentality of the club is needed to get us back where we belong

Off twitter, no idea who he is or how clued up he is...

Let's say this is true from JB.

Thanks to the pathetic regime we've had in the last 20 years, it just rubber stamps Everton Football Club's new position in the modern era. We've not won anything for years we're not part of the "big 6". Now the club "officially" (in inverted commas because it's not official obviously) redifines us as a mid-range club somewhere around the level of Newcastle, West Ham, Leicester, Southampton.

That "window of opportunity" that Moshiri spoke about closing the gap on the teams we aspire to be with is closing fast because of inept people like Elstone.

Assuming the new stadium is scaled back in any way, that is. We simply don't know. But the sooner Moshiri shakes up the club the better.

Well according to the Q&A Esk posted above they dont know anything about anything.

Lots of bluster but they didnt even know the capacity.

Also I just read a tweet that Dan Meis will hold workshops with fans who completed the fan survey.

Not looking good, we might have some details by 2025 at this rate, spade in the ground by 2030.

It's nearly 11 o'clock, and still nothing.

lol

Has to be minimum 55k, anything less is a disgrace. We all know it'll be 50-52k sadly.

55k is to small smaller than all our rivals.

There is no way that the board will be so unambitious as to go below 60,000.

60,000 is just the standard now. In fact, Tottenham's ground will be much bigger than that.

55k is to small smaller than all our rivals.

Even smaller than the current capacity of the Pit.

John is sound. He's from the SA I think and also does the business matters podcasts.

That tweet worried me hugely.

What I read from the comments at the meeting was that revenues wouldn’t increase to the same degree as it has with other stadium builds. Probably a reference to the huge corporate revenue generated by Arsenal and Spurs and the big increase in their ticket prices. I didn’t think they were referring to the capacity.
