Yet another "article"
http://www.nsno.co.uk/everton-news/2015/05/everton-missed-boat-new-stadium/
I particularly like this...lol
'There was a plan to look into the possibility of planning a new stadium, maybe, on Walton Hall Park, backed by Liverpool City Council, but it was all very, very early days. The kind of early that sees desperate American women buy wedding dresses and book venues before they’ve found a boyfriend. That type of early.'
We are a joke...

King dock again...
We didn't blow it, we turned it down. The council and electricity board made unreasonable requests that we weren't willing to pay for...

I've yet to hear verified independent (or even biased) evidence that a phased re-development of Goodison is not feasible. A move must be for the good of the Club not the good of the directors.

Re-develop using GP as a unique selling point. We have nothing to gain from becoming an also ran in a soulless, generic bargain basin stadium.

I think you're joking but if not - Billy Lair failed to put down the house deposit with the seller having failed to show up for a number of appointments.
Unless this goes ahead this is a scandel, im not a total tin foil header when it comes to the board. But i have serious questions and concerns about abilites, inertia and ambition unless something happens on this: our third ground proposal in the life cycle of this board.
Why bring this so publicaly to the public domain unless it seemed more likely then not, by the sound of that press breifing absolutley nothing has happened to progress or objectify this in the past 12 months since it was announced.
FFS.

Firstly, I am not a season ticket holder and have not been since the mid-1980's and my visits to the Old lady are few and far between nowadays due partly to distance and family commitments and to a lesser degree a disillusionment with PL football and the seemingly endless wafts of cash being thrown at the game much of which goes straight into the already bulging bank accounts of overpaid and, in most cases, very average footballers. I am, nevertheless, a born blue who served my apprenticeship as an Evertonian back in the grim days of the 1970's and early 1980's and would have done anything for the club that was my life in those days, I was so entrenched in what is and always will be MY club. But this apparent lethargy, this inertia, this lack of energy which pervades the Club from top down is causing me to fear for the future of this great and historical institution. There are countless thousands of better Blues than me who have stood by the club for more years than I and who qualify, justifiably, to have a say in what is going on - or not going on - within THEIR club and who year after year, season after season, spend their hard earned £££'s contributing towards ever increasing and record season ticket sales. But therein, in my opinion, lies the problem. You fans, you real SUPPORTERS, are perpetuating the fallacy in the collective minds of the current board that all is well and that as long as the club maintains its PL status then they will be forgiven any lack of footballing success or progression. We should all be rightly proud of the Club's achievements with EITC and other non-football related initiatives - after all, should this this not be what a football club steeped in the character and ingrained in the soil of its local community be seen to do - but whilst laudable it does not cost £millions to do this. What the incumbants of the present board seem to overlook and ignore is its base principle for existence i.e. to be seen to actually progress and, if not always surpassing, at least competing with its peers on the field and providing its regular customers, its club supporters some modicum of footballing success and a stadium within which to enjoy it. Instead, they are content for the Club to do just enough to get by, to exist and be seen as some model of prudent and good housekeeping, keeping a clean house whilst never quite keeping up with the Jones's next door. The world has moved on but, I am VERY afraid, it is not taking Everton with it whilst it remains under the stewardship of a board which takes its references from Mrs Beaton. It really is up to the Clubs supporters to actually provoke a change.

Because giving the majority a glimmer of hope turns their gaze and forget. The club does it constantly to give ST a bit of a boost, give reassurance, stop one man and his dog turning up again.
I'd like to see that too. Too much history to just demolish it and go.
I'm not sure I'd be comfortable with doing what Liverpool have done though - turfing people out of houses with CP orders. I grew up between Goodison and Anfield, and they've systematically destroyed some of that area.
But the excuse of "Goodison can't be redeveloped because it's locked in a residential area" simply doesn't hold water, because Liverpool are too, and they've found a way.
I'm sure we could find a way too, and do it better, by minimising the disruption to the locality.

The problem is we have two carpetbaggers who Kenwright has shackled the club to. They are happy doing nothing other than a) sweating the interest off loans made to Everton; b ) waiting for a buyer for the club on the strength now that enormous tv cash will eventually tip some mug up to pay through the nose for their shares; or c) waiting for the public-private sector to pay for a new stadium prior to a sale.
I dont blame those two Shylocks for doing what they're doing. It's what they do. Just like a dog barks and a bear defecates in the woods, these characters will act as a parasitical force on any investment they have - never boosting value or any sort of heavy lifting, just biding their time waiting for a big payout and in the meantime getting a decent return on their outlay already.
There's only one force here to blame: it isn't the local authorities; it isn't planning departments, it isn't the private sector, it isn't our two Shylocks....it's Bill Kenwright. 15 years in charge and he brought us to this point where any goodwill and confidence from the private and public sector toward the club is exhausted; he is the one who has fought tooth and nail any fan involvement in shareownership, he is the one who landed us in the vice like grip of businessmen who have no ambition for Everton FC.
Three failed stadium schemes on his watch; no investment; no trophies.
It's great having a true blue Evertonian stewarding the club though isn't it?
Time for this feller to make himself scarce....oh no, he cant do that, he's got to front up the organisation for his two parasitical mates and provide the public face of 'ownership' to the watching world.

On balance they havnt said they wont proceed with it, but the recent comments made are far from encouraging, they are playing with fire to an extent, Everton fans have been mobilised once before and i think another stadium failure may be enough to turn the more reasonable - but likely more effective fans to turn their energies to meaningfull protest.
My two cents: is that you have to look at this is context, there is a clear disaprity developing between north and south, London clubs and traditionaly clubs we would compete with in the modern era i.e. Spurs and West Ham are going to shoot ahead of us in terms of infratsructure and finance - its now or never really to a) compete with those clubs b) give ourselves at least a fighting chance to do something better.
You mark my words and watch West Ham, watch what they are about to do this summer and watch them knock on the door of the CL in less then two seasons.
Fernandes at QPR is no fool, he had the right idea, but managed it badly, the north/south divide is going to be more evident in footballing terms then ever before in the coming years - we at least have to give ourselves a chance to compete - the new stadium is critical to that.
My tipping point with this board is a clear demarcation between fattening the club up on value and moving it on VS long term interests. Ive always felt they have done enough on the latter, but the stadium issue may bring me down on the opposite. They dont have the financial excuse they have had previous years.

If we had started this when all this began with the original planned move to Kirkby under PJ's stewardship in 1996/97 we would have had a redeveloped Goodison Park by now.
