New Everton Stadium

[RaleighBlue]

So you're saying exactly the same as me.

Have been pretty much since the end of the summer window.

I'm less pessimistic about the stadium, but I blame that on being a supporter since '09 and missing the majority of King's Dock/Kirkby fiascos. I also seriously question Moshiri's intent on the pitch. So far it looks like a real estate investment to me.

How much will it take to give us an icon though Crusty?

The figure I have in mind is £500-600 million for an iconic stadium. Prepping the dock and its surroundings is going be expensive on its own. Yes, we have a great site, but there is always a 'but' with Everton.

 

[CrustySack]

I thought $300M was just the loan, not the cost of the stadium. Won't there be additional funding through naming rights, etc?

There will need to be additional funding because we will be getting a large greenhouse if its just £300 mil.

Correct, imo.

Where that might come from, I have no idea. But a few options could be a shared funder alongside whoever fills up the LCC £300m, an optimistic naming deal involving whoever that might be either paying the lot upfront, (unlikely), or actually becoming a partner in the ground.

Club borrowing, or Moshiri having, er, "contacts" that can operate at an arms length.

Would be my guess.

Exactly this, and all supporting comments confirm this, investment developers etc its like we are being dressed up for a sale further down the line

Yes, this is in the back of my mind as well. It is very clever

300mil will get you a iconic stadium, as long as we get free USM steel

USM don't make that sort of steel BoyFrand


Actually not sure BoyFrand is one we will stick with here tbh

 

[Dr Baxter]

Yes they do. Somebody posted a link to a promo film on their website pages and pages back and they are heavily involved with providing steel for lots of stadiums currently being built in Russia. Anybody care to repost the link?

 

[kiss the crest]

Has anyone heard any timescale for this to be completed

 

[Dr Baxter]

As has been pointed out before, the £300 million is the figure to be borrowed using the SPV created with LCC. Does not mean that is the final price for the stadium. There might be other loans involved, not to mention a huge amount to be earned from naming rights. Let's just wait and see, eh?

Suggestion we have 3 years left at GP. Planning application in by late 17, early 18. Rumours work to start late 18. That's all we have been told and that is not nailed down.
