New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[jinkyali]

My guess is they'll try and penny pinch on the fit out, but not sure how much that would save

Not after selling out all the corporate for the first five years or so.

It will get done. We won't own it. That's it.

We don't own it anyway, we're £400 million in debt.

Just wait until the seats are changed to red and Liverpool announce they are having it.

Watch them buy it in a fire sale, apply to increase capacity and be granted

Learning to accept that we may never get to play in this stadium. Our very existence is under threat.

I can see it being sold to a third party and us renting it back. To stave off financial Armageddon.

Would rather stay at Goodison.

Renting your ground is just dead money.

Wouldn’t be surprised.
Feels like the beginning of the end sadly.

Buying a ground is dead money if you are paying 20% interest to finance it.

Stupidity yes, but at least you eventually own it.

If a third party buys "our" ground I pray the club walks away from it.

Sadly, Mosh as owner will likely sell them the ground and sign the lease on the same day.

Said this a while back but worth reiterating, I can't see anyone shelling out 500 million to buy a stadium with one natural tenant. Without a football club it's hard to see how it makes the return that investors would look for. That means they would be held to ransom by us as much as we would by them. When calculating the risks what would happen if we did decide to leave might make it a no go if they aren't confident bagging 7/8/9+ huge gigs per year.

If the RS did try to swoop in for it then we would almost certainly get Anfield and whilst we wouldn't be happy, it would pale into comparison to how they feel when the seats turn blue there. I'm thinking the fan reaction stops that dead.

 

[Tim UpperBullen]

We’re never gonna play a minute of football in this stadium, there won’t even be a club to inherit it. Mad.

Watch them buy it in a fire sale, apply to increase capacity and be granted

Nobody is increasing the capacity !

 

[BlueandBald]

I wonder if we'd have went with the Liverpool City Council helped funding option, would we have breached?

Generally speaking, you are 100% correct. But it all depends on how much the rent is. Anyhow, I suggested well over a year ago that it might come to that but I was shot down in flames. Posters were saying it's against the terms of the lease of the Bramley-Moore dock or something.

 

[hallamblue]

It doesn't really matter. We either rent the stadium or pay back the interest on the loan to buy the stadium, which is at such eye watering rates we'll never pay back the capital. It's the same thing, either way we won't own it. We also don't really own Goodison at the moment due to our borrowings.

Honestly i cant see us moving into Analfield ever being a valid option. Ill park this along with Danjumas flights from Liverpool to Manchester as being a joke.
Realistically i dont think Liverpool would want BMD, although they may be well jell about the iconic location, while they fester at Stanley Park...... expansion opportunities are limited at BMD due to site constraints. They are not going to want to drop capacity by 10k.
