New Everton Stadium

[charlie atkins]

We need a better stadium and a bigger one in that order. Given today's result it might be opportune to say now that we will have very disappointing home defeats at Goodison whilst we are building the new stadium and also when we move to BMD, that's football.

Always us. Not sure where to go for december. Maybe the jungle

Cheer up folks.

After today's horror show you can guarantee there'll be good news on the stadium this week.

Its like clockwork.

We are expecting news in the next few weeks, results make no difference to this.

Them " next few weeks" will be nearer Xmas mate , we could be getting snotted every week then.

The usual is
Bad result = Pacify the fans with stadium news.

The Echo are writing the article as we speak. New stadium imminent.

The club said months ago they hoped to put planning permission in before Christmas. Don't blame the club if it's this week.

Without a shadow of a doubt we'll hear of Planning permission details: who it's being written by, who'll receive it, what the typical timescale is,...blah blah blah.

A fantasy from start to finish this.

Holds no argument considering we released more info about the consultation results after the Southampton game, which we WON

Eh ?
No blame at all mate.
Its a well rehearsed gig after a poor result.

That date was set a good while ago.

Anyway wait and see this week.

Very valid observations but may I offer another reason why I reckon a massive stadium would be a part empty embarrassment.

I suspect attendances peaked when utd were in their pomp and went to 78k they looked well capable of filling a 100k stadium but interestingly never built one - they must have known something. In a similar fashion the other global entity, the RS, have gently nibbled away at anfield rather than go the swanky huge stadium route despite a site, a design and planning permission. Finally, all conquering Man City always with a strong core of loyal fans like us are seemingly incapable of filling the bigger Etihad despite monumental success we can only dream of. I just think a realistic uplift in new match goers tarkes us to the mid 50k region

If we could build a variable capacity stadium that always looked full despite the attendance I'd be up for a huge capacity it but I don't know if such a thing exists in addition every club building a new stadium has turned to absolute cack so I don't see BMD as the panacea many seem to believe

A new stadium in and of its self won't make a penny for the club. Any Increase in gate money will be swallowed up in interest payments and more money besides.
The new stadium is being built because we need a new ground and to make the builders money in a sell on, via shares and such.
Nowt else.

Dan Meiss is at it again, his latest tweet suggesting the capacity will be 60,000.

61878 to be exact

Basically 5 weeks left to submit planning.

Not when relegation is confirmed.
