New Everton Stadium

[Yarrgh]

I've got a cousin whose ashes were spread on Goodison years ago. Although, I know none of them are still likely to be on the pitch I still wonder what the club's plans are regarding this issue? Might it be an idea to dig up the final pitch at GP, turn it to dust and bring it to BMD and put it in the part of the dock not filled in (between the ground and the multi-storey car park)? Somehow, if the area where the pitch is at GP is to be turned into housing or a kids' play area, it just doesn't seem fitting to me. What do others think?

I like the idea of taking some part of the pitch to the new ground and leaving some behind, symbolically linking the two eras. They'll never take the memories of Goodison away from us, and we'll make new memories at Bramley-Moore, but we'll always be Everton.

I personally also like the idea that people will still be kicking about a football on the location of where the Goodison Park pitch once was. I don't want to go all Blue Bill, but the idea of generations of blues playing there plays to my sentimental side.

As for those whose ashes were scattered there, that's a tricky one. Perhaps some corner will remain a memorial to the old lady once she has gone and that can be a place where we can remember those who played and supported there.

As much as we all love Goodison the truth is that it's just barley fit for purpose as a football ground and nowhere near fit for purpose as a financial tool for the club.

No problems here though.

Liverpool’s industrious midfield, which includes two world-class talents in Fabinho and Georginio Wijnaldum.

These few words in another article by the same journalist tells you all you need to know about his footballing intelligence

My point about the article was if the Government need Freeports Liverpool will be nailed on.

They wont give a s&&& about our stadium.

Stadium revenue is well down the list of our income streams.
There's only one man who will benefit from BMD being a financial tool and that will be Moshiri when he sells us on to 'some other fool'

So you think there are no benefits to a new ground in the city centre? I just don't get why your being so negative

Looks a bit like a spaceship landed on a dock building, not to my taste but who cares about that? If this stadium was a meal it would be a scoop of ice cream on top of a rare sirloin.

Well this is a new way of saying I don't like the stadium design. Anyone else want to use food to describe there dislike of the stadium

I don't know if anyone has heard the pod cast on the Everton site, but towards the end, Dan Meis said that he drew the original sketch on a napkin. I'm very very lucky to be sent it from Dan, I'm about to get this framed and put up on the wall.
