TBH I would like to see us have a top team before a new stadis no good having a new 55, 00 new stadia when only 40, 000 will attend!
Withoput a major big buyer we will no see a new stadia in BK time imo!

If the stadium can't be filled at the current ticket price which I doubt anyway but if that's the case then they can always lower the ticket price. It would still bring in the extra corporate revenue and have potential to grow by increasing prices along with the team. Man City have the cheapest ticket prices in the country for this reason. Not believing we can fill it really isn't a valid reason.TBH -I would like to see us have a top team before a new stadia no good having a new 55, 000 new stadia when only 40, 000 will attend!

Horse before the cart job imo! If we have no major backer?
Believing we have a backer to fund a new stadia is also another major factor!If the stadium can't be filled at the current ticket price which I doubt anyway but if that's the case then they can always lower the ticket price.

This was just about Everton announcing a debate about moving to a new stadium. As debate's go it wasn't bad. A new stadium won't happen however unless the Blu Union source it, plan it, and fund it for the board.Can a mod, or D410, change the title of this thread? Preferably to something like "Everton to not move to new stadium. Ever."
A re-vamped Goodison Park needs new investment or owners to make any sense. (The assumption being that redevelopment is possible from an engineering/architectural perspective.)
Without new owners, or significant capital investment from the existing owners a re-vamped Goodison does not make any commercial sense
Let’s say a redeveloped Goodison costs £150 million – I know £100 million has been mentioned but there are not many examples of stadia coming in at budget.
Firstly let’s look at the potential additional revenues a 55,000 seat Goodison would raise.
I’m assuming an average attendance of 50,000, so an increase of 11,000 on current attendances @ £40 per head
I’m also going to assume that we have 30 extra boxes, that these are filled every game and generate £3,300 in revenue per box per game.
Total additional revenue raised = £10.26 million
If new owners or the existing owners were to invest £150 million into the club then there’s a case for redeveloping.
However if that was not to happen then there’s no case for redevelopment.
Let’s run two scenarios – one where by some element of good fortune £50 million is contributed by naming rights, public subsidy, or partial investment from the Board/shareholders, and secondly where the costs have to be met by debt alone.
Scenario 1
Subsidy or capital raise of £50 million
£100 million of debt
Interest rate 8.25%
Term 30 years
Annual repayment: £9,000,000
Net increase in revenues £1.26 million
Scenario 2
£150 million of debt
Interest rate 8.25%
Term 30 years
Annual repayment: £11,250,000
Net decrease in revenues: £ 1 million
But we attract potential investors do we not? And the sky deals should be improving which means that debt won't be too much to pay off.
Agreed, the roadblock to progress is the collection of world class Evertonians on our absentee boardWithout serious capital investment either from new owners, existing owners or a combination of both it is a complete red herring.
Its a catch 22 situation, we need to newer bigger stadium long term yet the shortfall we need to find for the repayments most likely will come directly out of our operating budget which could make us even less competitive for many years.I'm not sure us becoming heavily indebted with a marginal increase in income makes us more attractive to buy.
Secondly even great Sky/broadcasting revenues makes the marginal improvement in our revenues even less relevent.
