New Everton Stadium

[chewee]

60k.

Retractable upper section that can be covered when not needed (Say 5k worth of seats). Only sell tickets in that section when the rest of the ground is sold out. I

Some are strangely fixated with that capacity thing.
"Oh im gonna be soooo dissapointed if it isnt as big as West Hams stadium" jeez..

You're hung like a horse, aren't you?

I hope we play an absolutely dog turd team in it's first game. Can't have the Everton megadome opening with a loss.

So you'd be fine sitting on your own surrounded by 20 empty seats? That wouldn't feel a bit strange?

You're talking about terracing though, no? 20,000 people all huddled together can still make a hell of a din. 20,000 spread over a 60,000 seater stadium, in different stands and different tiers, will sound like a load of kids shouting in the swimming baths.

I remember the early 90s with the seats often well more than 20000 empty, didn't feel like it though, I remember playing Lincoln at home or someone about 8000 in there, better in the Gwladys Street then than in some of the sold outs we get now.

Because the mad heads hadn't been banned then

More seats for my snacks.

More seats for my snacks.

I could actually get a ticket without much stress either

We're well capable of losing to dog turd teams.

Agreed. In fact I think some clubs with larger stadia will look upon it enviously if we manage to keep a good atmosphere. I'd bet a lot of West Ham and Arsenal fans would trade in their soulless, echoing 60k bowls for an "intimate" 55k stadium (assuming the choice to expand is there). I certainly would.

All the ones that couldnt get tickets wouldnt be happy.

Why ???

I think he missed your joke Mike, we operate on a different level to the likes of this @The Cowboy fella

Nothing wrong with a few empty seats around as long as they aren't a bright color that stands out like City's. I'm not sure why people are relating this to atmosphere, while it might be true having empty seats is bad for it, Goodison for the most part is sold out and the atmosphere is mostly terrible apart from a few games a season anyway.

Where I am in the main stand I seem to get different people all the time, I'm sure the seats are owned by sponsors or companies, in fact the kids that have a kick about at half time and families are often by me. The amount of people I See doing selfies and spending most of the match eatting and leaving with 10 minutes to go, is rather annoying, and it's these type I expect us to bring more of to the docks. It's not going to be a bear pit down there, I'm certain of that.

It was a joke?! A heavily disguised one...

I think if we built 60k, with the right pricing structure we could fill it every week. Don't underestimate how big Everton is........!

If i could get 4 season tickets for 1000-1200 quid id love to take the kids each week.
