It would be all about how the stadium was managed and run and with a good team that actually knows about PR/Marketing ! Also like some stadiums the upper tier could be covered and not used depending on demand
The stadium would also provide other money streams to the club in regard to say music concerts, used for other sports like rugby or Cricket? A good marketing team would try to attract for example England International out of London or try to get NFL game/WWE wrestling due to growing popularity?
A reasonable priced season ticket fee would hopefully say get 50,000 season ticket holders so with say 5000 commercial seats ( rough guess) and depending on away support as we should give a basic number that could be added or decreased depending on relationship with said clubs 10,000 so yjere alone is 65,000 seats/
If club set up one stand as the "family' syand where a family of 2 adults and 3 kids under age of 14 go free? the kids fill the seats and kids will demand sweets, soft drinks, burgers from parents so with good food supplier its increased revenue
Same way with Everton in the Community we could donate tickets to charities and am sure media pr of us bringing for example elderly folks from retirement homes, ex service men/women, schools etc would also add to the charm of "The People's Club" who are there for the People
New stadiums attract walk in guests so thats where the team would target tourists to city, supporters clubs worldwide with fixed reasonable priced tickets
50000 or 55000 stadium capacity is safe bet but Everton needs to stop the "poor little us punching above our weight" attitude Kenwright instilled in club :-(
Imagine us with a stadium that has 15000 or 20000 more capacity then Redshite what sign it paints in city? Who cares if its not full every week to capacity but a new stadium of 55000 or 60000 will increase revenue compared to Goodison and then imagine for a derby to wind them up we only give them 1000 seats and then put a 10000 safe zone between them and rest of stadium? The media fallout would be hillarious ;-)
Everyone will go on about funding now etc that we're struggling for 50000 stadium so why dream of 80000? ulk buying usually ends up cheaper in long run I hope every year we'll win title even though no one rates our chances and as Everton we need to become the in your face look at what we are doing club And a stadium bigger than our city rivals is the minimum to expect if we're going to be noticed
Pipe down you.
Absolutely. I know loads of people who are big fans and would love to go more often but can't justify £40 to look at a pole for 90 minutes.
He runs the show. He made the decisons regarding Koeman, Walsh and Big Sam.
If people think that Bill still calls the shots they are totally wrong. If it was true than Moshiri is a complete tool. He is the majority shareholder and pays the debt off but does not make the decisions???
It is what it is, I'm no fan of Kenwright but to carry on blaming him is stupid. It's Moshiri's train set now.
Oh I agree, it should be 65k, at least, I just think most weeks it wouldnt be full, thats all.
We need 65k to show ambition, future proofing at 65k is ok, but building a 55k and saying its future proof is bolloxs, we will be paying the stadium off for a long, long time, we probably wont be able to afford the improvements in the future, so IMO future proofing would be a fallacy.
I'd argue that every new stadium has a "pull". Sunderland went from Roker Park around 20,000 to 47,000. Arsenal from 38,000 to 60k. Tottenham from 36,000 to 61-62,000. Many more examples Southampton, West Ham, Bolton. Chelsea will be on their way. City already building to 60k I think.
The stadium is not a Bill Kenwright project and yet I read people blaming him for capacity and cost issues still.
I do not see however we cannot be given an indication by the club as to what capacity is actually being considered.
It baffles me how people can still be Anti-Mosh, we have spent a fortune off and on the pitch and are preparing to make a move into an iconic Waterfront Stadium that will be the envy of the world, but people wanna try and pick holes in a man who has made himself a VAST fortune by knowing how to run companies.
I agree, if Bill was in charge Peel would have just laughed at him and told him where to go. He wouldn’t have got as far as we are now, even though it may not even be that far.
Peel and the council are working with Everton purely on the fact that Moshiri has a lot of money and is friends will other rich people.
It will be “always one more than Anfield”. Quoted from Bill. They are building in the ability to expand in the future if necessary at Bill’s request.
