New Everton Stadium

[Stephen Gibson]

I normally can't stand "ITK" posts, but I have been informed by an extremely reliable source that the capacity of our new stadium will

If it was 61,000 could they not find an extra 878 seats.

Given the fact Everton monitor social media and forums like GOT, they already know what the fans want.

They'll say they're consulting the fans and they may well hold fan consultation events like they did when they were sorting the club crest out, but the chances are the outcome of the stadium consultations will basically 'back up' the ideas they already have for the new stadium in terms of design and capacity.

Really?!?...Quite worried now if true!

It's been signed and agreed by cabinet, not personally by Joe Anderson.



It doesn't

He was instrumental to the decision being made. Any decision can be called in at a later date.

Don't mean to set myself up as an ITK here, but I have it on VERY good authority that horse will feature on the new badge.
Moshiri is already planning to revamp the Liver buildings and will, I am told, replace the Liver birds with life sized replicas of horse.

*You heard it here first. Taps nose.

If everyone just keeps tweeting 61878 to Dan Meis then he will hopefully get the message.....

Welcome brother. Tweet Dan Meis every day. 61878 You know it makes sense.

£300 million loan
£250 million naming rights

£500 million stadium seating 61878
£50 million slush fund for extras.



Boom

I've consulted with them needing to be consulted with and told Dan we want 61878 seats. Anything else is piffle.

The stadium will be elliptical and hold 61878 people. Next...

I normally can't stand "ITK" posts, but I have been informed by an extremely reliable source that the capacity of our new stadium will be 61,000 initially, with the scope to expand to 75,000 if ever we were successful in the future.

That would put us on a par with Spurs, West Ham and Arsenal.

Very encouraging, indeed.

Do keep up squire....

And the reason why Usmanov gave 5% to Moshiri makes all the difference. As you yourself said, Usmanov was ruthless and strong in acquiring that. He doesnt hand out free money, he would only give what is earned, and he would only be in business with someone he trusts is very good at business. This is true, unless of course you are mistaken about what type of man Usmanov is, but I hardly think that is possible.

Mate, just a small clarification on your post. Usmanov did not give Moshiri 5% equity. I worked for the same form in Moscow as Moshiri though did not know him personally. Moshiri took his professional fees in equity rather than cash from Usmanov in the early days. At the time there was very little hard cash to pay professional fees. Some of the braver accountants and lawyers took equity instead of cash. Most of those deals never worked out in the long term after the crash of '98 but Usmanov was good for his word. And Moshiri to his credit was both professionally brave, loyal and committed. So as far as I'm concerned they have both benefited from what they brought to their business dealings with each other. No more, no less.

Oh I wasnt holding to the idea he was given it except I was just using Daveks claims that he was. That certainly makes more sense, I dont think Usmanov hands out anything.

Good stuff, thanks for the update fella.

A decision which will go hand in hand with a multi billion pound development of a neglected area of the city as well as producing a guaranteed income stream for council during extreme times of austerity.

Nah, try again

What do folk think about a stadium with a retractable roof ?
I've never been in a closed roof stadium but I've heard from rugby lads (Cardiff) the atmosphere is meant to ace when roof is closed..

Unfortunately I doubt it retractable roofs are quite expensive so I think it will be an open design

British cities interested in hosting the 2022 Commonwealth Games have been asked by the UK government to submit proposals for staging the event.

Guess we'll see what the Cities plan is for track and field...
