New Everton Stadium

[blue61]

I just think, looking at West Ham as a perfect example this season, why move? It's DANGEROUS and I think it would backfire both financially and atmospherically... but I'm a traditionalist. Stuck in my ways.

West Ham jumped at the chance of a 'cheaper' option, and threw their history in the bin. I strongly suspect we'll do it rather differently, and I love Goodison.

Yep.
Totally different scenario. They've moved in to a modified athletics stadium. They'd have moved in to a dog track if one came on the market (not much different to what they've got).
We're building a togger stadium, and looking at some of the work by Dan Meis and his team...it's going to be boss.

Just having a nosey at the EITC section on the OS, and something struck me - wonder if we could build a to quality community sports centre at Goodison, run and owned by Everton, and subsided for local residents and schools?

If we're keen on keeping a community presence at Goodison then something like a sports centre really could help to keep the local businesses afloat - nowt like a few pints after a game of 5-a-side.

needs to above 50,000 we need to be matching west hams and spurs I feel and aiming for 60,000. No point building a 50,000 to then extend 3 years later for a extra probably 10,000 seats for about £80 million

Spot on.

I'm just praying were not getting all our hopes up to be let down once again. It's the Everton way!!!!

It's not the despair, I can handle despair, it's the hope I can't stand.

FWIW....

England plan to select a city to bid for the 2026 Commonwealth Games by next July after Birmingham and Liverpool both put themselves forward.

Liverpool announced in August that they wanted to bid and were joined last month by Birmingham.

"We have to set a timeline and establish a criteria for picking a city," Paul Blanchard, the chief executive of Commonwealth Games England (CGE), told insidethegames.

"We have two cities who have expressed a strong interest and appear to be serious."

Blanchard hopes that a city can be chosen by the time the Commonwealth Youth Games are due to begin in the Bahamas by July 19 next year.

That would also give them the opportunity to launch a full bid by the time the 2018 Commonwealth Games, which are due to start in the Gold Coast in Australia in April that year.

A decision on which city will host the event is due to be made by the Commonwealth Games Federation at its General Assembly in 2019.

"We've got to give the cities enough opportunity to make the best presentation," said Blanchard.

But CGE are also keen to ensure that Birmingham or Liverpool do not spend too much money trying to win the nomination for England.

"We will try to the reduce the duplication of costs but both cities will probably need to carry out a feasibility study that we will study," said Blanchard.

Blanchard today held preliminary talks with UK Sport, the Government agency that funds elite sport and also helps bring major events to Britain.

A bid from Wales had been widely expected for the 2026 Commonwealth Games but that was dropped in July following the United Kingdom's vote to leave the European Union, meaning that UK Sport would probably support a proposal from England.

"We understand that the 2026 Commonwealth Games in the UK is definitely part of their major events strategy," said Blanchard.

"A bid from England would start from a position of strength.

"Birmingham and Liverpool are both well known cities and have interesting strategies."

Whats the phrase? If you need to ask you dont get it? Something like that.

Remember telling my old man about that EITC hub thing a few weeks back. He just shrugged, smiled, and said "Not surprised".

"For those who understand there's no need to explain. For those who don't it doesn't really matter."


The original is from St Tomas Aquinas, the great Dominican Theologian in the 13th Century...

'To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.'

Just been looking at a few different types of stadium and Inter had a few designs done of a reduced capacity San Siro. Anyone like to see this on the banks of the Mersey?

Definitely need to reduce the height of the roof (closing it off to the elements) and make it a bit less bulky and could also do without that screen plonked just in the middle but it has merit in my book.

That's not great, if I'm honest. Looks a bit like a container ship port, which I guess would be apt but it's pretty ugly.

I still think a white stone and glass facade on the water side, sensitively incorporated into a more modern structure on the other sides is the way forward.

Only a despicable low life would let a community go to rot and have people forced from their houses through fear and desperation. Imagine a club actually doing that on its own doorstep, to its own fans, to the community that helped breath life into it when it was nothing. Just imagine...

We do not need to imagine, we have witnessed the reality.
