New Everton Stadium

[kiss the crest]

Make this of what you will, probably get moaned at and might not be news to anyone but just thought I'd pass on the info nevertheless. My uncle who's a taxi driver text me earlier, word for word it said ...

Picked an architect up Tuesday morning 7:30. Took him to Walton Hall Park. His company built the Olympic stadium. He was meeting Kenwright in London 5oclock. He reckoned 50000 capacity and better than the Emirates. He said the park is really big

Make of it of what you will

Taxi driver hey, that old chestnut

Awesome news. I actually heard a couple of weeks ago something along the same lines, same company as done the Olmpic Stadium are confirmed to be doing one for us.

My brother in law works for the them and the main architects name (presumably the same one as in efc1878's post) is Art Vandelay.

Had a few jobs has old Art, wish he'd settle down

That will be HOK, they have changed names though. But, they done Wembley and the emirates as well..

HOK!!!
I wish I was a fly on the wall when they met with Kenwright, Elstone and Potts after them bomb heads dissed their reputation at the Kirkby Shed inquiry.

Goodison will miss you, because no doubt we'll die before we see this new ground.

Did they, after the design and build horrific job by Barr. They are a disgrace really, no shame.

There was nothing in the Kirkby Stadium proposal that was of any good for Everton or its supporters. It was about filling the pockets of a select few.

Remember the disgraceful episode from Potts re 'the plinth'.

Remember this man Potts, Savills advisor to the club, was chief among many failures of EFC in it plans over the years. He ripped the HOK/Bestway/LCC plans for the Loop site and that the plinth that would be part of it was too expensive etc etc.

When the Kirkby Shed was unveiled, guess what that had a plinth.

Meh, take that info with a pinch of salt. The architect firm will have had to sign a confidentiality agreement, so doubt they'd be spouting off to a taxi driver.


Would windmill for weeks if its true though.

Hope its not to much like arsenals lifeless bowl, need it to be like Juventus stadium
