Im sure there is architechts and other specialists who have done some work on that and came up with a conclusion. Board them selves lean to these reports for sure.
Would be interesting to see what these reports say.

The board have leant towards a new stadium based upon it being at least part-funded by others. They reason they have not pursued the re-build option is not because it is impossible from a technical point of view. It's because they can't pay for it & wouldn't get third party funding. None of the major shareholders will put a penny into the club to improve the infrastructure and yet they are set to walk away with enormous profits on their original investments, especially if they can pull off the funded stadium trick.

I've been reading, y'know, my history and I picked up these facts....and we are thinking of moving??
- WE introduced Goal Nets to the game.
- WE have hosted a World Cup
- WE moved to Goodison for financial benefit before financial benefit from stadia was even conceived
- WE were Everton before Liverpool was even thought of.
- WE hosted the first FA Cup final
- WE Had the Tallest Stadium Lighting Pylons when built.
- WE installed the First undersoil heating.
- WE were the first club to have a fecking Scoreboard FFS, and we scored so many goals that day we couldn't fit them on the thing.
- WE have hosted more top flight games of football than anywhere on the Island.
- WE were the first Football Ground built purely for playing Football, although inaugerated the same day as Celtic Park
- WE have a Church in one corner of the Ground. A REAL CHURCH!
- WE were the first football Ground visited by a Monarch
- WE have a Stadium that has been Bombed by the NAZI's it was so good.
Behold Goodison Park! no single picture could take in the entire scene the ground presents, it is so magnificently large, for it rivals the greater American baseball pitches. On three sides of the field of play there are tall covered stands, and on the fourth side the ground has been so well banked up with thousands of loads of cinders that a complete view of the game can be had from any portion.
The spectators are divided from the playing piece by a neat, low hoarding, and the touch line is far enough from it to prevent those accidents which were predicted at Anfield Road, but never happened... Taking it all together, it appears to be one of the finest and most complete grounds in the kingdom, and it is hoped that the public will liberally support the promoters.

Goodison Park has always been a handsome fashionable stage for football, a living thing full of atmospherics-like a theatre. And now it has stepped into the demanding seventies with a facelift it scarcely seemed to need compared with some of us I know. New giant stands in place of the old; the latest in dazzling floodlight systems that cast not a shadow. A cathedral of a place indeed, fit for the gods of the game.

It's all about this from @pablo 1878
And once again from the DK fiasco:
Mr Lancaster, now in full flow, then suggested that Everton were trying to steal a march over their rivals by getting a bigger stadium, a stadium that they can't afford. He established that no investment had gone into GP in the last thirteen years and that it wouldn't cost that much to improve facilities. He finished off by suggesting to Robert Elstone that if a private business received £52m from a council and then its owners sold up and made an increased profit due to that money, “there would be a public outcry wouldn't there?” “Perhaps” replied the Everton CEO".

After reading that I almost wish we'd never leave Goodison.

Anybody else's ears prick up at the news that the council has purchased the Garden Festival site? I wonder... I just wonder... Could this be the place for us?
Nightmare to get in and out off , cant see it being there, land would be ideal for housing so expect something along those lines,
would be nice to be on the river front tho.

Wasn't it elevators rather than escalators? I seem to recall going to GP when the stand was nearly finished (a friend's dad was working on it) and going up to the Top Balcony in a lift.
As another first, wasn't GP the first ground to have proper dugouts?
