Proposed stadium capacity poll

[larrygobfiend]

If it's expandable it's acceptable. We wouldn't want the crowd to look like city's

 

[Frang]

I'm wiling to accept a genuinely expandable stadia.

I want detailed plans on how exactly this will work tho.

 

[McMagic]

I think that 52,000 is about right. We aim to be the eighth best supported team and that's just where we'll finish in the league each year, eighth!
All this bullshit about upping it to 62,000 if we need it. I remember the Stanley Park end being rebuilt and to be named after William Ralph and they
settled for a monument to be defaced every year by RS supporters. Give us a break, Stay where we are.

Mediocre Marco, mediocre stadium., mediocre owner..

But OK thish ishh fine

At this point Frank you may as well go support Birmingham.

My view is always that it is better to fill up the ground every week even if we outgrow it and tickets are impossible to get for a period than to have a period of time where the stadium is only 80% filled

 

[LinekersLegs]

Ideally would have preferred a smidge more, say 55, but close enough and important that can still expand if required.

Looking forward to seeing the specific plans.

55... 52... tomato tomerto you wierdos

 

[zzr45]

52k and a massive expansion in boxes and hospitality that actually makes us more money is fine.

 

[Eggs]

....I have no issue with the capacity, although I accept others do. Most encouraging for me is that we now seem to have a plan in place in respect of milestones for key announcements.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

Should have been 55K. We’re all Evertonians so we know the stadium will never be expanded to 62K.

That clause was inserted simply to placate the masses.

Boo Mosh...Boo!

 

[BlueLee]

Imagine the rage when another 2000 seats ‘go missing’ for exra corporate boxes or costing reasons

 

[Pabbers]

Its not about the capacity.

 

[Chewbacca]

The RS have a bigger skip

Wham play in a bigger athletics stadium

The Skunks ground has some of the worst sight lines in Christendom and is a horrible design mess


If BMD is a genuine design classic, it’s location will ensure iconic status. The comment regarding Sydney Opera House was spot on.

 

[degsy]

I’ll take that if we get it and we still have the 62k option.

It’s on imo.

No doubt its on...subject to finance.
But the 62k jam tomorrow option...not a chance.

It’s all about supply & demand. OK, were selling out now at 38’000, but it’s not like we’ve got a waiting list for season tickets. The number of restricted views is a factor, but that’s not going to account for 14’000. That’s a lot of extra people!

Most ST holders renew because they love the club & go to every game. A percentage of ST holders would ideally pick & choose games, but know they have to buy a ST to guarantee they get them. Unless we really step up on the pitch, we risk losing demand & will be playing to empty seats.

Same with corporate seats. The calculations have to be right. Over capacity kills demand.

I just want it to be as close to the pitch & as steep as is allowed. Provision for standing as soon as that’s allowed. Attention paid to acoustics so it’s loud & intimidating.
