New Everton Stadium Discussion

[davek]

I thought you wanted to redevelop Goodison...

What, from what I said there, makes you think I dont?

 

[GwladysPhil]

Goodison is having an internal facelift isn't it?

Millions spent on the lounges and the tunnel is being re-decorated.

Would like to see what they're going for in the tunnel.

If BMD fails, there'll be a decent period set aside for mourning and the gnashing of teeth, then an announcement that the club are looking at a piecemeal redevelopment of Goodison. It's the only thing that would wash at that stage.

Seems a remarkably negative spin on getting what you want.

But it wouldn't be me mourning it or gnashing my teeth at it's failure.

I think you need to have a re-think here mate.

I'd love to read your response to the consultation that went out last month

If this fails to go through and get built, I think it could seriously damage Everton.

It's up to the owner to make this happen. If he doesn't, I dont fancy his chances of surviving at this club much long after.

It'll take more than that though.

I cant emphasise enough how much Everton are drinking in the last chance saloon in respect to new stadium proposals...I'm actially amazed how so many people have suspended disbelief over BMD in the wake of the KD and DK scheme failures (not to mention the aborted Kirkby Golf Course and WHP proposals).

One man has been on the board for ALL of the previous debacles & he's still clinging on.

....I notice the ‘turret openings’ feature on the virtual presentation, but I expect they are too narrow to accommodate a match day crowd and vehicles needing to get alongside the stadium. Those turrets are magnificent and are reminiscent of the Prince Rupert Tower. I wonder if one can be used as a feature on the concourse;

Looks a class act to me

Cant get excited about this

Looks way better than that brick and glass monstority presented last month. @Jacko93

Thumbs up from me on this design. The "Everton" is getting dropped from it too. Thank goodness.

I know what you mean. Seems miles off.

Is a new bridge getting put in as I can’t see them filling in the access to Nelson docks.
