New Everton Stadium

Dymak · July 23, 2019

The Kirkby project would have involved CPO's. I think its naïve to think our acquiring of the two terraces behind the Park End and an entire terrace behind the Gwladys were all obtained in correspondence with the Ladybird Book of Stadium Expansion.

What happened to the two rows of terraced houses behind the Park End?

They always belonged to Everton anyway , it was a unadapted road.

All three rows of terraces? Behind the Park End and the Gwladys?

I'm not massively in favour of CPO's, its one of the reasons I was against Everton's Kirkby project. I don't think there is anything wrong with offering above market value to obtain the properties though.

Yes by forcing people out of their homes, do you really want that to happen just to expand Goodison Park?

One of the main intentions is for the stadium to operate as a venue and generate substantial revenue outside of bi monthly football matches.
Walton is my hometown and I love it, but with the best will in the world no one looks to build a successful non football venue in a densely populated working class area which lies outside the town centre.
The RS can just make it work because Anfield is one of the worlds famous stadiums and is a draw in itself.
Goodison does not have that kudos and until we mirror their success it never will.
Goodison is a prisoner of its location.

Unlike the shower across the park.

The social catastrophe that this club was prepared to take part in at Kirkby would have dwarfed anything they need to do in terms of redeveloping Goodison.

Anfield does not have the infrastructure or capacity like that. They'll never be a 365 day arena.

Whole thing was a sham. It would have ruined us and impact the city.

We would have been another Wigan.

You have no idea that is true. It is just a guess.

WTF are you taking about? I have "no idea" whether the club has planning permission? We dont. An application hasn't been submitted yet. And the funding: last word on the subject from the club is that "it remains challenging".

Unreal.
