New Everton Stadium

Kirkby was never the only option open to EFC, it was the cheap, chosen option backed and fuelled by many people still on our board today.

Yeah it was the cheap option, of course it was, we didn't have any money! Everyone pretty much agreed a move was needed to get some cash in.

Of course they are still on the board, you dont just move board members around like playing staff.

Pretty sure the Millenium stadium can fit a running track and is very multi purpose with lots if different revenue generating events (concerts, football, rugby, speedway, racing, athletics etc) Atmosphere there is very good too

The speedway track is the biggest oval they can get in there and it only comes in at 285 metres if my memory serves.
 

What's the plan, then? Do we build a football stadium that allows for an athletics track to be added later? We're looking at a bid for the 2022 Games, but what if Liverpool doesn't get them?

Are we going to risk settling for less quality for something that mightn't happen?

And even if it does, fitting a 400 metre track into a purpose built football ground is effing ludicrous.

A decent look at what can be achieved...

The stadium was convertable all the time. Very interesting concept

Shame that never got built. What they got now is what the London stadium should have been like. Far from ideal but far better than what WHU have been left with.

No, everybody did not agree.

Just because you have no money doesn't mean you jump at the cheapest option. They could have redevelpoed GP piecemeal or they could have presented a robust business plan to increase revenues and move to a venue fit for EFC. They done neither and looked at the easiest way to enhance their shareholding.

BMD has been vacant for a while. Ask yourself why now? It's because the incompetent custodians for the last 20 years are no longer calling the shots. Thankfully this means a break from the pig-headed retail enablement model and scrapping round for sites that benefit the likes of Tesco and not a football club.

There is no way any Evertonian should ever forget their plans to move us to Kirkby.

So not everybody agreed that the way future us for us to move at some point? Ok then...

BMD wasnt available until fairly recently, the fact that it was vacant is irrelevant.

I am not saying the board are perfect. far from it, but incompetent is a ridiculous comment when you look around at other clubs.

Adequate would be a fairer assessment but some people just seem to have a bee in their bonnet about them for mad reasons.

Fact is, we didn't move did we? If you want to get angry and hold a grudge about stuff that never happened then good for you.
