New Everton Stadium

[Sweeneytoad]

I’m not so much concerned with the new figure as I am the gap between the old figure and the new figure.

This is 67% higher than the previous estimate we were given. That’s way more than Brexit uncertainty plus inflation.

Apart from unsourced journalists, was there ever an initial figure released by the club?

It came from Liverpool City Council:

“Initial high-level studies conclude that the full development cost of a new 50,000 seater stadium with associated site specific facilities and infrastructure would be in excess of £300 million.”

You think they all printed 300 million on a whim?

They were briefed by the club regarding the details of the SPV.

That's the price for a 50k stadium though. It was never going to be 50k

Anyone who thought a 'unique' 'world class' water front stadium would cost only £300m needs a reality check.

Looks.like the board have had that now.

It’s a big gap to bridge, and we haven’t even started construction yet.

It’ll increase beyond £500 million.

How do you know that for a fact?

10k doesn’t add £200 million, either.

It was just an estimate price. Stadium will be in the region of 55k and final price will be in excess of 500 million.

Do you think the club are going to pay half a billion for a 50k stadium that they want to be world class? West Ham and Newcastles are bigger than that, goes completely against Moshiris ambitions.

You said 300 million was the price for a 50k stadium.

A lot of costings are just estimates until the builders are on site. 500m will probably increase too during the build. Spurs an example of this.

That's what I thought could part of that difference be that £300m was for a 50'000 seater and now its a 60'000 seater.

Apart from them being on the brink, that's pretty much the only other reason they wouldn't be.

Yeah I thought so mate. I know they’ve had a nightmare with the new Royal.

So, the Echo have been briefed by Everton that the stadium is going to be 50,000. With the announcement over Christmas (buried), the propaganda machine has started with their mouthpiece, if they keep saying 50k and enough of them will to stay in the clique, ie. Echo, Fans Forum, Parry, Bellew, Sharp, Snodin etc, this will manifest and be accepted by the majority. I hope I'm wrong, I want us to have the best of everything.
