New Everton Stadium

I may be talking out of my backside here as it was a long time ago but, I recall something that they deliberately kept the park end stand away from the pitch so that one day if we did rebuild the street end (& BR) the pitch could be moved down at that time.

This would then get over the fact the Church cuts into the main stand area and enable a bigger footprint for the street end. Of course that sensible forward thinking didn't go hand in hand with anybody being bothered about doing anything for the next 22 years.

I think thats been the plan for decades hence why the Main Stand is off-set to the Park End instead of lining up with the halfway line. To be honest the Park End as is could easily be replaced if we stayed, it's League 1 standard and looks completely out of place at Goodison.
 
Not an advocate of staying put at Goodison but if we did, the first thing to do would be to demolish the Park End and rebuild it as a much bigger double decker stand right on the dual carriageway behind. Also, apart from dragging the pitch away from the Gwladys St also slightly rotate the pitch anti clockwise. Knock down The Bullens next and rebuild, then the Main Stand making better use of the both sides of the ground. Finally, rebuild the Street End with a double decker smaller than the Park End which would be the tallest stand in the ground.

Surely that would make the park end the widest stand in the world, there's about 70M from the ticket office to the dual carriageway.

So while that is going on where do we play?

That's great mate. But supporting investment in the City of Liverpool isn't the same as vandalism. If you can tell me how a useless wall that serves little purpose benefits the City of Liverpool more than a 200 million pound investment that is likely to be a catalyst for further investment in a run-down and underused industrial part of Liverpool then I'm all ears. Liverpool needs investment to progress. Conserving useless walls that serve no purpose will do nothing but impede such progress, and won't benefit anyone at all.

exactly... walls are built for a purpose. If there is no purpose for the wall, or whats behind it changes, its pretty useless. it's not an architectural master piece or beautiful palace. it's a wall. Plenty of nicer things have been demolished.
