New Everton Stadium

Timak said:
I don't disagree with a new stadium if it is a spectacular addition to the City and can be used 365 days a year to generate revenue for the club.

However I disagree that it would be more cost effective.

If the aim is to get 50k seats then simply knocking down the Park End and building a double height stand with some boxes on the Bullens Corner would be by far the cheaper option than a new build.

Probably something like £20m compared to £200m

I hear tell that the orginal plans for the parkend allowed for the double decker option, but only if the foundations were over spec-ed at the time for that eventuality... which the cheapskates didn't do
 
With both Everton and the side from across the park enjoying this years on field activities these are exciting football times for our great city. Additionally both clubs appear to be making significant progress off the field, most notably with their intentions to improve stadium facilities.

The other side is intent on developing their existing stadium having abandoned the previous option of a new build. Indeed only this week artists impressions have shown the size of their ambition for a 54,000 capacity stadium.

For our part our CEO Robert Elstone spends up to a third of his time working on our new stadium scheme – one he described, back in December 2013, as phenomenally exciting. From The Kings Dock and Destination Kirkby disappointments to now the Club has been, and remains, committed to a ‘new build’ as Goodison is not considered viable for development.

Stadium location and securing funding are critical to the Everton project. Whilst rumours and opinion abound about the potential location, staying within the city is a must; our Chairman Bill Kenwright favours Walton Hall Park. Very little else is known about the detail although Mr Elstone has said that it will be a new design, not a Destination Kirkby rehash, have an atmospheric home end and a high standard main stand.

Beyond that we know very little.

However, that is about to change as Mr Elstone intends to cover the new stadium opportunity at the forthcoming General Meeting. Pretty much everything that can be said will be presented on the evening when Mr Elstone will update Shareholders with the current status of the search for a new stadium and happily take questions on the subject.

These are exciting times indeed, a progressive manager leading a progressive team being backed by real progress off the field.

A General Meeting of Shareholders will take place at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall on April 29th from 7pm.

Anfield: the victims, the anger and Liverpool's shameful truth
Policy of buying up houses around the stadium and leaving them empty has driven the local area into dreadful decline.


In the blighted streets around Liverpool's Anfield stadium, residents are packing up and leaving their family homes, so the football club can have them demolished and expand their Main Stand. In the six months since the club scrapped their decade-long plan to build a new stadium on Stanley Park, and reverted to expanding Anfield instead, Liverpool city council has been seeking to buy these neighbours' homes, backed by the legal threat of compulsory purchase.


People's farewells are bitter, filled with anger and heartbreak at the area's dreadful decline and at the club for deepening the blight by buying up houses since the mid-1990s then leaving them empty. A few residents are refusing to move, holding out against the council, which begins negotiations with low offers. These homeowners believe they should be paid enough not only to buy a new house but to compensate for the years of dereliction, stagnation and decline, and crime, fires, vandalism, even murders which have despoiled the area. Their resentment is compounded by the fact that they are being forced to move so that Liverpool, and their relatively new US owner, Fenway Sports Group, can make more money.

On Lothair Road, which backs on to the Anfield Main Stand, one man who lived next door to a house Liverpool own and have left empty, shuttered – "tinned up" as the locals call it – shook his head. "I'm not moving out," he told the Guardian, "I've been driven out."

Residents' bitterness derives from when the club started buying houses in Lothair Road, without saying they were doing so or making their intentions clear. The club used an agency to approach some residents, while some houses were bought by third parties then sold on quickly to the club. That left residents with the belief, which has endured ever since, that Liverpool were buying up houses by stealth, to keep prices low.

The club have never publicly explained in detail what they did, and declined to answer the Guardian's questions about their historic behaviour and current plans. Neighbours, many of whom have lived in Anfield for decades, remembering a vibrant, flourishing area, believe Liverpool bought and left houses empty to deliberately blight the area, intending it would prompt people to leave and drive house prices down.

Lets face it, it's highly unlikely that this board will deliver a re-developed Goodison or a new ground. It's okay discussing sites but when it comes to paying for it the money just won't be there. It's very convenient that were suddenly looking at sites at the same time Liverpool announce their ground expansion, what have the board been doing in relation to this process for the last 4 years since the Kirkby scheme collapsed?

Or convenient that the council are now willing to be involved now that R/S are 'sorted' sort of.

It's probably an SOP that nobody's been around to retract mate
 

Well, I believe thankfully to that new big TV deal, we should have enough money to make these plans after a new stadium a realistic scenario. Kirkby could cost us £80M, King's dock stadium was in total costs £125M. I believe, we could fund a stadium with a cost of around £150M quite realistically and keep our team competitive in better than Everton way as well, this time in coming years.

We are getting extra £30M per year from the new Premier League TV deal and that is a huge thing for us. With these money we already know we are going to make a redevelopment in Finch Farm, let's say we will invest there £10M every year from 2014 to 2017. From 2017 we can invest these £10M into a new stadium. Let's say we will take a £100M loan and then we will pay £10M every year till 2028. The extra £5M per year we should definetely get from selling name rights and by selling of Goodison Park. And the best thing about this, we are still having these £20M every year to buy new players and to absorb coming rises of wage bill.

Plus, if we have a new stadium in 2020 ready, we should get at least a few million more every year from it than from Goodison total revenue - it was projected £6M revenue rise in Kirkby, could be more with a better stadium in the city. If we are optimistic, we could get extra £10M per year in revenue from the new stadium alone. In other words = extra £10M on new players after 2028 when we would pay off all our debts, and between 2020 and 2028 our new stadium would pay itself off.

What do you guys think?

Yeah but any loans we get come from a flat in the British Virgin Islands causing 'other operating costs' to go through the roof.
