New Everton Stadium

Let's wait and see what happens.

TBH in light of what was said recently by Joe Anderson it wouldn't take a genius to think there may be a problem.
In the summer we saw the Blue Union taking pot shots at what was happening in the transfer window and they came up badly short.

I do think that the board cannot simply say that the WHP project has died a death and expect everything just to go back to normal...if that is what happens. A level of expectation is there that something has to happen regarding ground development.

Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, has said that he hopes Liverpool City Council and Everton Football Club will be able to make an announcement on a new stadium for the club within the next few months.

Speaking to our Everton Podcast, lifelong Evertonian Anderson said that the club and the council had been working hard together in order to develop a scheme that would suit both council and club.

“We’re looking at a number of offers from the club, and we’ve made offers to them as to how we can help progress things,” said Mayor Anderson.

“There are a number of sites that we’ve been considering and we’re doing all we can.

“I’m sure that reasonably shortly there’ll be a discussion and a debate taking place between ourselves and people of the city about something that we’ve been working on.

“I’m optimistic that we’ll be able to put forward a suitable solution within the next couple of months.

“The council will work with the club to look at how we can support them, not necessarily in a financial investment in the club, but perhaps in the same way that we’ve done with Liverpool.

“We’ve invested quite a substantial amount of money around the area [of Anfield] and I’m sure Liverpool Football Club would be the first to admit that.

“We’re working with Everton and I’m confident that we’ll be able to put a proposal forward shortly.”

No Groundshare

When asked about the potential for a ground share with Liverpool Football Club, Anderson was determined that both clubs have their own proposals that are so far advanced that the idea of a share is now dead in the water.

Adding that he would have been behind such a scheme, he said, “I think it could have worked, it’s not going to work, but the thing that I want is for both clubs to be successful and have money coming out of their ears and buy the top players without worrying about a groundshare or whatever.

“But if it saves you tens of millions of pounds a year and you can work together then I would have been supportive of it.

“But it’s not going to happen. The proposals from both clubs are so far advanced now that it’s academic, so let’s move on from that.”

Shortly:coffee:
 
In my opinon it won't be good news -hope I'm wrong, but at best would expect a "holding" type statement.
Unless a substantial naming rights deal added to greatly improved average earnings per seat and improved hospitality premium and (reading between the lines) occupancy, I can't see that a new stadium would be capable of funding the debt required to build it.
We really are back to a dilution of the board's holding as suggested by @the esk previously followed by takeover and rights issue to give the capital to make this possible, if the stadium is to be owned by EFC.

Depends on your outlook. Walton Hall Park being off would be good news for me.

yeah, I'm tending to the view it marginalises us by taking us a further step away from the City. Also the present board regime of knobhounds will build a generic uninspiring box ground irrespective of location

Exactly, we should only stay within Queens drive. The Mystery or near the city centre would be my dream move. Will never happen under this board though.
 
As a non local, can someone clarify if the houses bordering GP can be purchased, or is there some restriction in place? Understand about the school of course...

I look forward to your announcement taking away tour support when this dies a death.

However I wouldnt be surprised that you will swerve it as the much expected news will come from LCC and not the board with you playing the Emperors Clothes card.
