"Goodison Park, the worlds first purpose built football stadium."

I'm not convinced that in line with the above that we should be so keen to leave. I'd be inclined to redevelop aspects in line with the strategy of increasing corporate capacity.

It should be an option yes.

Wouldn't we all? Sadly, we need a board with a crum of business know how to do that.

Well, if a true debate on the matter is offered by the club maybe us fans will have a forum to make the point.

Lets be honest, the last created a bit of interest

Update on proposed new stadium

Mr Elstone confirmed that the project continues to progress. John Blain queried if the Board had made the commitment to progress towards a Planning Application? Mr Elstone confirmed again that the Board have not yet made the decision and furthermore confirmed that the elapsed time from that decision to the formal submission of a Planning Application is likely to be 9-months.

John Blain noted that it seems unlikely therefore that a Planning Application for Walton Hall Park will be made before the end of Q1 2016.

This prompted a fair amount of debate about alternatives, notably the redevelopment of Goodison Park. Led for the Association by Tom Hughes it was interactive with Mr Elstone noting that whilst re-developing Goodison Park might be physically possible other (new build) options are almost certainly more viable because Goodison is difficult to make work financially (including naming rights), and the lack of development space at Goodison. Based on previous assessment, a redeveloped Goodison on the same footprint may have a reduced capacity of as low as 34,000.

Mr Elstone was interested in what Tom Hughes had to say and in particular his informed insistence that the stadium could be re-developed to a higher capacity whilst maintaining its heritage. Mr Elstone confirmed that he would always be willing to review and consider any plans to redevelop Goodison Park.

Commenting on the financial challenges of re-developing Goodison Park John Blain queried if the Club would be interested in working with a well backed Fans Group. Mr Elstone said that he would be interested and noted conversations in the past where the Club had worked with representative Fan Groups. However, discussions had not progressed as those organisations he’d spoken with were unable to raise necessary funding.

Everton FC new stadium would put "sleeping giant back in the big time" says report


Blues only the ninth most valuable in Premier League but have plenty of scope for improvement


Everton are a “sleeping giant” for whom a new stadium would put them “back in the big time”.

That’s the conclusion of a new report on football finance from Dr Tom Markham, a lecturer and expert in financial profiling in football who has advised buyers and sellers of football clubs on valuation.

Dr Markham describes his report as an update on one he did two years ago and not unexpectedly sees the majority of Premier League clubs see significant increases in their value on the back of bumper new TV deals.

In an article explaining his findings on the Sporting Intelligence site, Dr Markham said it focused on a “fixed set of financial criteria” to establish the market value of clubs, looking at what they earn and what they spend and their assets, to come up with a “rational” value.

He said the “real” prices of English clubs over many years “closely mirror” the figures his formula produces.

Manchester United are regarded the most valuable club in England at £1.8bn.

The Markham report places Arsenal as the only other Premier League club to come in worth more than £1bn (at £1.1bn) with Manchester City next at £907m, and Chelsea at £826m.

Surprisingly Tottenham’s value is rated at £710m, well ahead of Liverpool’s £537m with Everton ranked down in ninth at £216m.

Speaking to fans about the issue on social media, Dr Markham said Spurs’ position ahead of the Reds was “primarily due to land value, consistent profitability and lack of debt. LFC will rise on stadium completion.”

In terms of growth, United’s is impressive at 74% in the last two years but still can’t keep pace with Manchester City with an astonishing 126%. Chelsea and Spurs’ value has risen by 60% and Liverpool’s by more than 50%.

The team with the best performance though is Southampton, whose market valuation has jumped 350% to £259m now from £57.5m two years ago. Newcastle are the only club dropping in value, down by 20% to £221m under Mike Ashley.

How Everton are summarised in Dr Markham’s report

“A sleeping giant with a strong squad with good residual value in the transfer market. Very profitable in 2014 (£28m) but still have the underlying issue of a new stadium which would cost a minimum of £250m. With this, Everton would be back in the big time and potentially knocking on the door of CL qualification.”

[Dubai Blue]

I was more shocked that the meeting went on for over 12hrs and that is all they covered?

Easy life.

Numerous posters here have been saying that project has been quietly buried. Happy to see that they were wrong.

It appears to be quietly developing along until it reaches the "debate" stage in 2035
