It's all relative should the curse deal us the same hand as Coventry, Southampton and Bolton the past 30 yrs will live on as treasured memories even a Boro or Sunderland descent would render BMD unusable not because relegation would diminish crowds but through flooding.
Because i would rather we tried to better ourselves & move forward rather than standing still & being convinced that doing so is for the better when infact it will just prolong a slow demise.
Yes but don't worry we've been told we've got fully costed plans to redevelop Goodison!
Only how can you have fully costed plans if we develop by piecemeal? So by the time part A or even B are out the way, the developer could have gone bust or your needs have changed that then requires a redesign etc. etc.
Every year of delay would see approximately a 2% rise in costs and I'd imagine to get to the point where CPOs have been handed out would be somewhere in the region of 5 years, so that'll be 10% on top and so on.
When we didn't have any options that was the time to think about this, being proactive and buying up and then leasing all the homes that come on the market around Goodison. But even if we had we still could never have the fan plaza that new stadiums offer up. The chance for Everton owned outlets to bring in the income before and after the game. I would be interested in seeing the results of a poll of who wants to stay at Goodison against moving to BMD.

I think any place where there is large crowds all leaving at the same time there is going to be congestion though.
I'm not making things up. I thought it was was generally well known that the club would never get planning permission to redevelop Goodison because it would mean the houses and school would have to be destroyed in the process.
Generally well known? I think you'll find that the city planners have stated several times over the years that they would be receptive to expansion of footprint and reconfiguring of school which is earmarked for rebuilding....... just as they were for Liverpool's expansion which included the demolition of seversl whole streets, listed victorian buildings and incursions into a listed Victorian Park. Everton's planning requirements would be trivial by comparison. The planning officer was actually referenced on my original document.
