New Everton Stadium

[maccavennie]

What a small time capacity that is, bloody embarrassing if you ask me. Confirms he's a fraud and a bloody carpet bagger after all

Did I win @DanB90

Buzzing with this news. Not only is it an ideal capacity for where we are right now as well as concrete news that something is happening, but it brings out all the yer da’s and yer sons and the WOT SBOUT NSNO FAHRAD’s for us all to enjoy and laugh at.

*raises glass of scotch*

Merry Christmas all x

FUME!

Bit underwhelming imo. Would’ve been fine with 55k-57k. Least it looks like it’s happening



I’d cap it at around 38-39k personally

Yes sounds fair so 10,000 for general sale. I'm not a fan of not having many on general sale as it's encouraged people taking advantage of the ticket shortage through stubhub.

...it’s an announcement, folk want communications so now we know the capacity. Sounds to me like things are progressing and we are finally working to a plan.

If the demand is there, it will end up as 61,878. Of that, there is no doubt.

Not liking the sound of being surrounded by 10,000 more Everton fans than I need to be tbh.

But just imagine the potential for more cranks on the Internet. It’s outweighs this.

 

[DanB90]

It’s roughly a 33% increase from our current stadium. Which is a fair amount. As has been said, if there is a demand for an extra 10k seats, I’m sure they will be built.

@DerbyshireAndHarper i would like to apologise for calling you a liar last year and attention whore.

@orly do you have something to say.

-60000 seater stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.
-4 stands, all enclosed, rectangular shape, brick exterior based on the dock warehouses.
-Stadium design will win awards and cause amazing levels of red jealousy.
-Surrounding area will be redeveloped in very similar fashion to the planned Roma development, featuring retail and leisure.
-Bramley Moore Railway Station is a certainty to be built, inserted on the Northern Line between Sandhills and Moorfields.
-Goodison Park site will not be sold to a supermarket or anything like that and will instead be turned into part residential, part Everton In the Community free school, part local community leisure facilities.
-L4 area future secured with a meaningful lasting legacy.

Thursday's announcement will probably be the BMD site purchase by the club and not much else, although an initial new stadium design teaser may be released too.

The design for the BMD stadium is already done and will be released when EFC have the funding guaranteed and want to announce it. That's the hold up. It is not a bowl. There is no running track. Why do you think Anderson suddenly started throwing Manchester's name around as hosting some of the events in recent days? Because he now knows there is no chance of a permanent running track at BMD or even a temporary one. Glasgow hosted the 2014 games. Opening & closing ceremonies at Celtic Park (no running track) and athletics at Hampden Park in a different city, Edinburgh. That's what Anderson is referring to - the athletics being held in Manchester.

Really wish I could say more but I can't and I realise that makes me look like the usual dreaded self-styled ITK on here but it's gonna be a 58000 four sided stadium with one side being a massive one tier 15-20000 seater 'kop' stand (for want of a better word). There is not going to be a running track under any circumstances. That's not in Dan's design, that's not the wish of the club, the club realise what a total PR disaster it would be, and they've learned from the West Ham situation, as referenced by Dan himself on Twitter.

The Commonwealth Games bid really has no real influence at all on the design and building of this new stadium. I appreciate some people find that hard to believe due to Joe at times trying to marry up the two concepts together but that really is the case. The design for the BMD stadium will be out long before the outcome of the Commonwealth Games bid is known and they're not putting a running track in on the off chance that Liverpool gets awarded the games, nor is there any contingency plan to change the design and insert a track if the bid is successful.

So what you're saying is, I said the same things a month ago. Literally the only difference is the capacity will be 58000 and the additional bit about one side being a massive one tier stand.

And my post that you quoted was before I got my latest information which could not be more concrete. Or from a better source. Think what would be the best possible source for information on Everton's new stadium design.

If you want to take this to PMs we can.

To be fair, now I'm saying 58K, which is not exactly a massive difference.

Yeah, I was lying along mate. What a pleb I am. I said 60k and now I'm saying 58k. What a massive discrepancy in planned capacity, that totally proves I'm full of it, me. There's absolutely no chance that I heard stuff, posted it on GOT, and then got it all clarified since March 21st, and posted again on here.

Can't be arsed posting anymore, at least for now. You got me. Think what you like mate.

FAO @Moomin and others:

Firstly, my source for the information I posted today is not The Esk.

There really is no need for this amount of hostility and suspicion. Cynics like yourself playing 'gotcha', trawling through old post history to try to 'prove' something, evidently to try to 'prove' that I'm a liar.

I do not 'get in a tiff and run off'. This sort of stuff you're doing makes me not want to post on here, which is a shame. I know of lots of others who feel exactly the same way as me. I dip in and out of the thread from time to time, as any normal Blue does. I don't live on the GOT message board as some Blues seem to do (and there's nothing wrong with that, just my life is busy and I don't have the time to spend more of it on here.

Basically, when people are constantly posting things in this thread that I know for a fact are untrue, and I'm reading it, and I'm a Blue, well.... what exactly would you do if you were in my shoes?

Not really sure what more there is to say. I said I wasn't going to spend the next 20+ pages defending myself and I want to stick to that.

As mentioned earlier Moomin, if you've got a problem with this, PM me and we can settle this in private. Doing this big grandstanding, calling me out, trying to disprove my credibility... yawn. I really don't care.

Congratulations mate, you win, you've run me off.

Hilarious that mate. Sides are splitting here.

As long as people remember what I wrote for when it gets announced, hopefully there won't be too long a list of people owing me an apology on here.

Ha, do your worst soft lad.

I have never told a lie on here. Why would I? I've been right about pretty much everything I've posted.

You're an embarrassment lad, pursuing me, so desperately disappointed that I knew something that you didn't.

You and the others.

I await your apology but don't expect it because you're a coward.

That's IF it ever gets built.
