Goodison Statues

That will cost a fortune ..... but an idea - the ones we leave will be decimated ....

I don't think they will, but if they did I'm sure the club would look at moving them.

Next we’ll be moving Prince Rupert’s tower to BMD in case it gets damaged (again).

That's a listed building - been vandalised many times by you know who .... the toffee shop was opposite way back until it burnt down - The shop was moved to another site - hence our nickname the Toffees .....

Only sensible thing is to move them. Will be paint red every weekend. They are Everton’s history not L4s

They don't get painted red every weekend now, they have only been vandalised a handfull of times since they have been there (no more than the RS one has tbh). That won't change once we move, they will still be well looked after.

Club > Ground

They are the club's history, they go with the club. Just imagine if we had a statue commemorating our first league title outside Anfield. That lot would be claiming it.

We should put one there.

They are both.

I'm disappointed in blues who want to beat a retreat from Walton because they are scared about what Liverpool fans might do.

Yea Walton/L4 is a part of the clubs heritage, silly to completely abandon it, one more patch of the city handed over to the kopites.

We can have the beat of both worlds, permanent link to our history in the area, and brand new staues more fitting for BMD. A slightly bigger Dixie statue would look well better at BMD than the current one we have.

The new Holy Trinity should be 3 massive, solid gold letters. PSR.

How childish on both bands of fans.

Sky news spot highlighting our new ground stated Goodison may be the women's football new stadium ? If that's the case the statues can stay maybe.?

I think that would be great for the women's game. However the statues are from giants of the Everton men's game, so I still think they should go with where Everton men play. Perhaps kne day the women's team will be able to honour their own legends at Goodison.

Sky may be latching on to rumours too?

Oh, like any modern media conpany they'll pedal any rumours without the expense or effort of fact checking, just to get the clicks.
