New Everton Stadium

True. But where does it end though? If we start building mosques for the muslims then it could lead to other religious groups demanding that we build them churches etc. That's why I think football and religion should be kept separated, and why I am against us building a mosque in our new stadium.

Having Allah close by could help us out.

What other religions would have to choose between going the game and praying?

Another thing that's amusing is their inability to accept that we are currently filling Goodison. Even the article itself refuses to acknowledge it:

"Just how big should the Blues go? Given that they regularly come close to filling Goodison"

The only game so far this season that the Everton supporters haven't managed to sell out was Arsenal. We got 39,510 for that, and 39,590 on Monday which was sold out a month before the game. So a whopping 80 unfilled seats for the Arsenal game, when we'd won 1 in 10, and tickets were on sale for well over £40, and in most cases, £46-£48 for back row obstructed view seats in the Lower Gwladys.

We have sold out all other league games, and had to fill an extra 1,200 seats for Swansea and Palace who even then, didn't fill their small allocations which is the reason that the attendances in those games were in the late 38,000 region. Not because we didn't fill our bit.

Meanwhile, across the park, they are over 1,000 short of Capacity every game, despite getting their amazing brand new modern stand with luxury views.

100 year waiting list for season tickets too.

Lots of religions. Christians have to choose each time the match is played on a Sunday.

Was it a BNP meeting in town last night?

No.

Is it true that they will be building a mosque inside the new stadium so that muslims don't have to choose between praying and going to the match? Heard a few people talking about it in town last night.

I've heard they're going to start selling halal meat.

Have we actually reached this point in the thread, mosques? annoucment is needed as soon as

lol

 

[Moomin]

No.

I wouldn't worry about it, Chinese whispers and all that.

Even so, what difference would it make if a prayer room was built in the new stadium. Personally, I'm not fussed.

Already the case, Sodexo who supply the catering are one of the biggest catering firms to use halal products.

Nailed on he'll start on the Chinese for whispering now.

Good to see us reaching out to other faiths. Hopefully we see an influx of Muslim Evertonians coming into Goodison on match days.

That's fine. I've had halal meat load of times and it tastes exactly the same as normal meat tbh.

@Dymak coming on tentatively putting feelers out about Muslims in the stadium in the vague hope of drumming up a mob to go on a march and protest their inclusion.

What a waste of spunk.

I welcome our players facing Mecca every time a cross is lashed in our box as it may improve our defending.
