Sorry lad. If it meant the difference between us being an also-ran and a contender then, with great regret, I'd have to disagree.
I'd bawl my eyes out if it happened though.
Nice ref to Joni btw - class.

"That was Big Yellow Taxi by Joni Mitchell, a song in which Joni complains they 'Paved paradise to put up a parking lot', a measure which actually would have alleviated traffic congestion on the outskirts of paradise, something which Joni singularly fails to point out, perhaps because it doesn't quite fit in with her blinkered view of the world. Nevertheless, nice song."

In many ways it's not the ground itself which makes the extra cash, it's the stuff around it ( Hotels, Retail Parks, Housing ) which is the clincher financially.
Agree with you about the Old Lady though. She's gorgeous, if you could just pick her up and move her to a place where you could build the extras and convert the obstructed views to non-obstructed then that'd be ace

Love the place to bits and dream of it being redeveloped. Mind, I'll still be gutted in a way because I love the place as it is. Even if there are 15k obstructed views.

I think everyone would agree with that. The real question is would you enjoy Champions League football in a new place? My guess is you would. Having never been there, I don't have the sentimental attachment to Goodison that all of you do. As a Chicagoan, though, I can tell you that I love Wrigley Field, but the Cubs have never once won a World Series in the place. Not one. The last Cubs world title was won in a park that most people don't even know ever existed.
More appropriately, I cried when the Blackhawks moved out of the old Chicago Stadium, and I still miss it. But a Stanley Cup won while playing in the United Center took a lot of that sting away.
If it meant Everton could return to the importance that their history says they deserve, then I'd move on without a squawk. Winning cures everything and new memories are made.

Yeah, I believe a rapid rail network was planned aswell which would have led to more prosperity for Paradise FC. But those pesky protesters put paid to that. And now the club's languishing* at the foot of league 7. Luddites.
* I was wondering when I could use that stock Journo Jargon. Great word. Despite the fact that people usually 'languish' at the foot or bottom of things, It always smacks of comfort and luxury to me. As if they're sprawled on an antique chaise longue, sipping bordeaux and don't give a flying about it

a new stadium doesnt guarantee success. derby county, southampton etc. goodison can be re-developed - the park end could be moved back along with the pitch to get the church out of the equation making the street end massive. a total re-build of the bullens and incorporate exec. boxes etc etc it could easily be done.

Chicago stadium was awesome, looked very similar to goodison, old, imposing, compact and towering over the ice.
I'd really miss goodison. I don't think the arsenal fans are that happy with the emirates....

we have 1900 corporate, and only fill about 80% ( i think). The reason is most lounges do not give value for money, this is not the fault of Everton of its staff its to do with the ground. the only lounges that get natural light are the captains lounge and the people club as these are in the park end. a large amount of evertons match day revenue comes from corporate like any club. If we are to compete financialy we have to expand the corparate. This is were clubs make their money. I love goodison but where can you expand this side of the business?.
