Very unfair that mate. They've got plenty of time to surpass themselves yet.

The last project they undertook didn't get a spade in the ground due to unforeseen foreseeable issues like land ownership...

Does anyone know what the current depth of the Main Stand is?
I know St End side is larger than the Park End side of the Main Stand but not sure by how much in metres.

If anything does happen, which I doubt, it will be severely gash.

Nice, name-calling.
It was billed as an alternative to a move that was ridiculous. There are no ridiculous moves mooted presently.
The proposed Loop site is viable if the Club and land owners work together. Bourneblue had zero facts against it that backed up to any sort of scrutiny.
The Club prefer to chase a new build dream. There is no reason that GP cannot be redeveloped whatsoever as has been proven many times.

This is so tedious. Do some research, maybe start at the plans Bill had commissioned.....

These are the Tom Hughes "KEIOC" proposals first put forward 6 years ago:

I have never seen any costings for these proposals, I am aware of a figure of £100 million which was suggested in the summer. To me that appears a very low figure when other stadia refurbishments are compared.
Whether it is £100 million or more is largely academic without the funding by investment not debt.

The truth is out there...along with a couple of other versions.
The only untruth is the Club's ( at present ) stance that redevelopment is not on / do-able / viable / fill in what ever excuse as required.

My God, that redevelopment is perfect. Would love that.

Can't get someone else to pay for it if they can't stick a retail outlet by it. The board would have to finance it themselves therefore despite the low sum it's a definite no no for them.

Liverpools 1 new stand has been costed at roughly the same amount as that whole new redevelopment, it's pie in the sky mate.
Trying to not have any input into this as I firmly believe discussion about it is completely pointless, as it will never happen under the current owners of this club. Even if they found the way, they are so incompetent that they'd screw it up, which they've proven over and over again they are marvellous at with minor things like a retail annex, nevermind a brand new stadium.
But anyway, my honest view is that given I'm 99% certain we'll not get a new stadium off the ground for the next two decades minimum, we should look to do the common sense thing and redevelop Goodison piece by piece. I've never understood why it was apparently impossible, especially when down the road our neighbours are doing it.
Compulsory purchase orders around the radius, develop parking facilities and expand a stand at a time and overhaul the aesthetic - job done. With the money coming into the game, it shouldn't be too hard to do.

125 million for the two new stands if my memory serves me right, I was last year involved in the quoting for that new stand. But, my guys last so I hope it gets cocked up and goes over budget.
The stadium at Kirkby was a design and build job by Barr Construction, 78 million quid the cost was for it. Cheap and nasty it would have been.
Serious question as I was not across the Kings Dock project. The amounts quoted since, that were ring fenced and couldn't deliver seem very low (£30m). Even if we got that money who was going to finance the rest of the money (£120m-£150m)?
