New Everton Stadium

[Onwards Evertonians]

It's going to be interesting to watch the RS go through different stages as our new home progresses.

Currently they are in the 'denial' phase, taking the piss, they can't believe it will never happen kind of comments.

Second stage will come when announcement is made - 'anger' - expect major meltdown in blogs and radio phone in's, letters to MP's and council, bullets in the post, it's a word heritage site, there's a rare red frog only found in BMD, blah blah etc...

When they start to see the stadium actually getting built it will be major depression and they will at that point probably turn on themselves - 'why didn't we build a new stadium on the docks'... 'how come all we have is a new stand'.. 'where's the Suarez money'... . when they drop out of top 4 and see continued success by our team the depression will accelerate

Final stage is acceptance - 'well at least we get to see a game in a nice shiny stadium once a year'

There's a few more stages after that, firstly their kids will want to watch the blues, then they'll become alcoholics and end up being binbaged, and finally they'll end up in a doorway in Church Street with their dog and a cardboard banjo.

If for example we announce that we have bought the land for BMD, would we release artist designs of the stadium or would that be at a later date?

I can see the RS finding their own version of Gina Smith the brexit lady to start fighting this in every court in the land

Don't worry mate if that happens I will sort it....

And all their kids play on the docks......

Fancy letting their kids play in amongst all the muck from the dog-walkers!

If Dan is coming then possibly.

Provided our new stadium goes ahead, that is 99% how their reaction is going to go.

The acceptance stage will never go quite that smoothly for them though. There will still be a deluded RS twist to it - "give me Anfield over that shiny boss new stadium any day lads", "we'll get to see dem Rossiter and Woodburn wonderkids win the game for der mighty redmen at their new ground" etc.

Gonna be painful when absolutely nothing happens on Thursday

I hope that those within the Liverpool electoral borough turf the pie crust sniffing wizard out at their next opportunity after Thursday passes with no news.

I think once its goes to 60k+ its more likely to end up with Everton playing in front of lots of blue seats.

That's what a Hammers mate of mine said before West Ham moved into the London Stadium. He said that West Ham wouldn't get more than 40,000 fans each week.

West Ham's average attendance is now 57,000.

You may disagree, but I think that we're just as big a club as West Ham.

This is the biggest news for Everton FC and Evertonians since leaving Anfield and going to Goodison.
If this is happening in 72 hours approx. I would expect that news should be appearing on the mainstream media outlets now or at least very soon.

It's felt like forever just need Thursday to be real news and not some Carp.

Tbf to big Joe he knows he'll be winding up the blue half of the city of Thursday is nothing stadium related so I do think this will be something big regarding it.
