New Everton Stadium

[Seamus Colemole]

You know that earthquake in Kent?

That wasn't an earthquake, that was Elstone on a beeno to Margate and him quaking in his boots when he read that

bizarro

and @davek were on the internet demanding that he leaves.

Kenwright and his mates are so, so lucky that the national media couldn't care less about what goes on at Everton.

More worrying is that even the local press (echo) are not forcing the issue. Probably cos they are too focused on the RS to care about us.
I think we must be the only club in the premiership era who hasn't redeveloped the stadium. Under this bunch of clowns running the club, it's likely never to happen.

Yup, think there's only us, West Brom, QPR and Burnley who've stood pat on stadia redevelopment and ooooops, both QPR and Burnley have gone down.

Heads should roll over that Echo article.

Elstone's first

I think it is time for Elstone to resign.

Yeah, the board needs to go too, but at least Elstone can actually be moved on. Too many bad decisions and not enough progress on moving us forward.

If the board fail to deliver WHP then I think it'll swing a lot of people who are currently sat on the fence.

It does sound like Elstone is preparing the ground for backing out, but you're not going to get enough people behind a move to oust Elstone until WHP becomes a non-starter. Realistically, you've got another 18 months or so before that happens.

QPR have at least got plans for a new stadium, issues with landowner though.

So a new stadium, rich owner, in London... Despite getting relegated the future for QPR could/should improve... nice when you've most of the necessary ingredients at hand innit?

I think you could well be right young sir, another failed stadium project could precipitate a fume of Kopite proportions, even from level-headed Blues.

At least we had a marquee in a car park for a short while.

...from what more economically savi folk on here are are saying is that the ground move is a key dependency for the successful future of Everton Football Club. If it is that crucial I fear the Board haven't got the foresight to make it happen.

Key to ultimate survival, if Bolton hadn't moved from Burnden to the Reebok or whatever it's now called, they could have folded.

 

[TheFinnFan]

we are doomed and everton should quit football cause we have no chance in da world that is runned by dough

 

[Deco]

The years and years of a lack of vision from the board have meant that we've been standing still while other clubs have grown off the pitch. It won't be long before this catches up on us.

...I really don't know but my inclination is that we need to change. We have been at the forefront of new ideals for over 100 years, we have been the first to change (numbers on shirts, floodlights, under soil heating etc) it's probably time to stay one step ahead.

I was meaning clubs who have been regulars in the premier league, but now you have named those 3 teams (and QPR have plans to build a new stadium) it makes it even more shameful and disappointing we haven't done anything. It really does make u think if we had got kings dock, all those years ago what would 10 years plus of increased revenue have done for us.

This board has done so little for so long, they would have to move at warp speed just to get a step ahead.
