If you look at the drawing closely, it looks as though the Park End was once called "Mere Lane" end, and the Street End was called "Park End". Given Goodison Road runs left to right at the bottom, then Bullens Road must be at the top.. wonder when the stand name changes came in?

I wondered that ? Then thought maybe the drawing had been done wrong ? and that mere lane once stood beneath the gwladys st stand ?

I refuse to accept there isn't an architect in the world who...
a) Didn't have the ability to plan it
b) Couldn't make it a possibility
Doing a stand at a time?
Question then... Would you share with them for 2 years if it meant Goodison was redeveloped?

Can someone not just chop out some grounds from google earth and see how their footprints sit on the land we have available ?
Start with the Bernabaeu please as my arl fella reckons it doesn't seem that big outside.

I dunno, im not an architect, but I would support that if possible Mickers
I'd rather lick the drains out than share with them, i'd suggest sharing with Preston if we had to
Easily redeveloped, one stand at a time; the biggest issue would be loss of matchday revenue coupled with the building costs, but it could be done.
Start with the bullens and incorporate the Directors boxes, dressing rooms etc;
Main Stand next
Street End
The Park End could be left or the extra tier incorprated over time of the full development.
The other major issues will be planning permission due the to residential area; if The Old Lady was to be developed I wouldn't want it to loose to much of its character, would hate it to look St Marys, Stadium of Light, Pride Park and virtually every other new build stadium with no essence of a footballing stadium

Glad you made it official, or I'd have chatted him up given the chance
Redevelopment: It starts with bulldozing the parkend goodison road corner to facilitate a second tier (including boxes) on the park end, from there the park end - bullens corner is filled in. Work with the League to give us 5 aways to end a season and 5 aways to start the following and the bullens road can at least be addressed in terms of bringing half of it down and extending the park end corner around into the new bullens.
Apart from requiring a lot of money, it will mean CPO's and the school going so the bullens road can be absorbed into the footprint. The fallacy that the pitch needs to be turned 90 degrees is exactly that - a fallacy, the pitch just moves 10 metres in the bullens direction, with an eye to squashing down the main stand and making the church corner more accessible (to some extent).
It is easier to write than do. Granted.
And yes, piecemeal is the way to do it, no big outlay, steady improvement, no major cutbacks or having to move out - so exactly the same as the way the team and squad has been managed.

I agree but I honestly don't think it needs massive overhaul, I always look at Fulham, they are in a housing estate and next to the Thames FFS, they redeveloped.
Just a touch up on the odd stands, and add some boxes what modern football is obsessed with.
I stand by my claim, no club, bar Man City as the only exception has benefited from a ground move.

Be fair to Fulham, it was like 24k. So new build techniques were always going to be able to help them expand up to a monumental 30k.
Our problem is very different, and isnt confined to just obstructed views and a few corporate areas.
It will increase revenue streams, especially in terms of the corporate boxes. There is a wealth of stuff they are missing out on, commercialy aspects can bring a wide amount of money into the club. The loss of matchday revenue will be the biggest loss.
If they did do it, i'd love it to look like Dortmunds stadium, its a mixture of new and old

Half the bernabaeu is under ground I think or under ground level anyway
