New Everton Stadium

Eggs said:
....from what I can see the Liverpool fans treat us with disdain which I think is understandable because we are not a threat. Selling the naming rights of our training ground to a sponsor with links to Russian wealth is welcome news but not something we should do a lap of honour around Anfield about.

News is good but it's action in respect of a new stadium and real progress on the pitch that will make others sit up and take notice. Getting excited is understandable but we all should know that making boasts can come back and make us look very silly.

Wel said my friend.
 
Anyway. Back to stadium talk.

Does anyone know exactly where they are building/developing this road?

And where a new potential train station would be placed?

The road will be at the end of Leeds Street, through the industrial estate onto Princes Dock where the current entrance is and towards the rivers edge. The Cruise Liner Terminal will be extended North slightly (where the little wooden hut is) and the other side of the Alexandra Tower (the green tower) is where the IOM Ferry Terminal will be. The road is to initially serve them but Joe mentioned yesterday another road, an extension to that, run right along the waterfront North, close to BMD. No idea about the train station.

This.

Being a local lad, you were subjected to this shyte right through school onwards. Every misfortune that has beset EFC down the years has been viciously jumped on by these louses. Can't really express how bad it has been over the years, relentless, like white noise.

Now they've got a royal "teat" on about the remarkable recent progression for Everton, the proposed stadium "And De good of de city".

Watching their meltdown into a foaming bitter rage over the last two days has been brilliant. You can almost hear it now. "PROTESSSTTT MAAAARRRCCHH! EEEYYYYYYYYYYYYEEE!!!" a bunch of meffs in bad clobber marching around the ruins of the Anfield streets crying because the attention isn't on them.

Wait until the planning permission is granted and they really start to act up. Icing would be for Moshiri to buy the Liver buildings and rebrand them under the EFC name.

Ped made a good point on the phone in that the city centre is getting too small and concentrated. It's critical that we, as a city, get this latest regeneration right.

Baltic Triangle through the Albert Dock/Pier Head then LW/10 Streets to L2 and Project Jennifer should enable us to offer top class facilities in many areas that will be essential if we are to be a competitive city again.

While it's funny witnessing their reaction they won't affect anything. I'm very positive about the cities future and proud we'll be right at the heart of it.
 
Anyone else finding it funny how they keep trying to post reasoned arguments about the new stadium on RAWK and then void them completely by saying things like this:

"The stadium? Well, I for one hope it happens. The joy of seeing 10, 15, even 20 thousand empty seats most other week will be enough for me. They can't see past their noses, what they need is a stadium perhaps in the range of 35,000 designed in a way that they can expand IF they make the necessary strides forward in the next decade and beyond."

lol

So we're averaging over 39,000 at the moment, having sold 1,200 of the away teams allocation in numerous games this season after repeatedly selling out the home sections, and we have thousands of obstructed views on sale for £40+, yet we need to reduce capacity?

There seems to be a complete inability to accept that we sell out Goodison at the moment. Loads of comments that we only sell out for big games.

Man City, Sunderland and West Ham have all had increases in attendances of well over 10,000 after moving Stadium, but Everton potentially moving to a bigger better more modern Stadium on the Waterfront with no obstructed views couldn't possibly mean the same happening for us!
 
Very true...there's been a lot of talk about us not filling Goodison.

Since when did we not fill it?

And if you sit in the seats at the back of the lower bullens, lower gwladys...you'll realise how unbelievable tosh some of those seats that people are buying really are!

Personally...I'm not sure about 60k capacity...but we'd piss 50k all day long.

We've generally been around the 35/36,000 mark since 2000, but after some fans started losing interest/patience towards the end of Moyes' time here, it's been in the 38,000+ region.

They obviously couldn't ever understand being in our situation as they've never been through the mediocre times that we have, but they dismiss obstructed views having an obvious negative impact and ignore what happened to other relatively similar sized clubs in terms of fanbase when they got their stadium moves.

On top of that, the days of 36,000 crowds at Goodison are over now that we've actually got some ambition at board level and have introduced more reasonably priced season tickets. We're currently selling out and our Stadium is well over 99% full, the only reason it isn't at 100% is when the away fans of clubs like Palace and Swansea fail to fill the reduced allocation that they have taken.

We may not sell 60,000 every week but we'd be comfortably over 50,000, and loads of clubs have a couple of thousand empty seats in improved grounds, themselves included.

Would Everton be better off getting 39,000 at Goodison, or 53,000 ish at a Waterfont Stadium? As they've said though 35,000 with the option to expand IF we succeed is probably the way to go having given it some thought lol.
