Tom Hughes' Goodison Redevelopment Thread

[mahermi1]

I remember Evertonians pointing out they would be the only original, traditional football club in the city, respecting its own history, whilst Liverpool would be paying off a mortgage on a 55k big round plastic thing...

What a change 16 years can make!

hmmm..

Can we have another thread please entitled Is It Too Late To Debate If We Should Have Paid The Extra Rent At Anfield And Done The World A Favour?

That’s not much of a debate

If BMD is as wimpy an atmosphere as the Emirates, you make a decent point, but as maintaining the atmosphere was a major design key for BMD, it is a moot point. I'd say Highbury and Goodison were pretty comparable though, allegiances aside.

That was the original intention but I don't see anything in the (interior) design that distinguishes it from any other modern stadium.

Has anyone done the calculation as to how many years it will take for Global Warming to raise the sea levels to swamp the new Stadium??

Come on Greta, do the maths!

Redevelopment is the ony way forward.

I’ve just studied some MetOcean data and crunched some numbers, and can confirm it will be on approximately the 17th minute of the opening game of the first season in there. Take wellies.

stands look closer to the pitch than the emirates, haven't looked at NWHL.

so who'd have thunk that Goodison is going to be the real waterfront stadium we need. Has anyone told Tom?

 

[Noble Savage]

Has anyone suggested a ground share yet?

It's a new era, the next logical step. Players and now managers crossing the divide. Let's heal.

*runs*

That would be a tad embarrassing for our dear neighbours . I love Tranmere but struggling to bring more a couple of thousand fans would be a waste . I'm guessing that who you were on about .
