New Everton Stadium

If you say so. Not sure why 3000 extra seats would swing it from being a disappointment to ticking boxes for most fans.

55'000 was probably the most realistic and popular stadium capacity mentioned. It would also put us in the top five biggest stadia in the PL. With the added sweetener of it eventually rising to 62'000,would definitely swing it, in my humble opinion for most Evertonians.
 

I'm happy. Finally seeing some movement from the club now, and tied in with some of the improvements being made to the area, feel this is very much on now. 52k is fine. We don't have a 10k waiting list for tickets, I have mates who registered in June and still got their season tickets for this year. Just make it look boss now Mr. Meis.
I got one late June which I don’t use at all
I go over and sit with my mate, his brother and their 2 sons on his fathers season ticket
Don’t get to Derby’s or games early season or late season when the weather is good
He knows a lad who can’t afford a season ticket and is a mad blue so he gives it to him to use
If I used it I’d be sitting on my own and know no one around me but it doesn’t bother him
I bought it hoping I get seats with my mate and his family at BMD
 
I really do not like the idea of leaving Goodison. Say what you like, but I have doubts about Moshiri’s motives here. How much is this stadium going to cost, who is going to profit from the construction, why is the renovation of Goodison not an option and how is it going to be funded?

Think of this way - most businesses (and especially football clubs) need to finance their big initiatives in order to grow and become more successful.

It will mostly be done through lending of course, but if there is "cheap cash" available (e.g. council assisted, Usmanov money) then this will benefit the club's balance sheet hugely as it won't be paying enormous rates of interest.

Will the club be saddled with a lot of debt as a result? Yes, either way.

However, Moshiri knows that if he wants to realise his investment, he can't just saddle a club with a lot of debt and then flog it - the debt still needs to be paid off, so it makes sense for it to be manageable.

It is still a risk of course, but one which is necessary for us to take if we want to get to the next level. We don't have a benefactor who can build us a stadium at no cost.

Yearh agree here at this moment Newcastle’s is still bigger than our new ground will be lol
 
Surely it's not cost effective to expand at a later date? (Unless they're banking on standing going ahead...)

- Record 31,282 Season Ticket holders
- Every home seat sold for every Premier League match in the 2017/18 season.
- "Season Tickets reached the cap with more than 10,000 on a waiting list"

This, under Koeman/Allardyce...

Anything under 58/60k undersells.

By the time the stadium is built, we'd be about 9th in the league for capacity.

We need to be more ambitious.

Exactly this, people are looking at 52k as if this is happening next season.

Come 5 seasons time:

1. Man City, West Ham will have increased capacity to over 60k

2. Clubs like Leicester and Wolves have talked about stadium expansion to around 50-55k

3. Chelsea will likely move stadium / expand stamford bridge

4. If Newcastle get a big takeover their owner very well could increase SJP

Come the opening of BMD we could be 9-10th biggest in the country.

As I said to @roydo this basically says to me that the club has little expectation of meaningful success from now until the stadium is built in 4-5 years time.

Alot can happen in football in the space of 5 years - clubs like Chelsea & City went from nothing to league champs in that space of time, shame the ambition isnt there to try achieve similiar.
