Compulsory purchase price is usually market value plus up to 10%. Therefore average being 62 plus ten percent makes almost sixty nine, I wasn't that far off.

You are entitled to your opinion mate.
I know our board has huge shortcomings but haters are looking it from too close imo. Step back and and try to look our club from other teams fans perspective. Theres lot to be proud of in the age of money and sheiks.

I love Everton. We all do. And the main reason is the history and tradition that this club has. Very few clubs in the world can boast this. Even our neighbours across the park seem to admire the old ground feeling Goodison has. Goodison feels special. Special in the way that so many things have happened. As a fan you feel that you're in a place where you're not just a customer, but someone who actually belongs. If we were bought out by Sheikhs, i would lose the love i have. So would many others.
I think what i'm trying to say is that Goodison is one of the only grounds in the world that actually has a soul.

As for compulsory purchases it took the RS 20 years of managed decline to make the roads around Anfield wastelands, but if any of you are happy to do the same then all the best. I wouldn't support the club doing anything the way they did. They desecrated a community, and the 'just CPO half of Walton' firm on here are just as happy for that to happen to MY community? Leg it.

We had the perfect opportunity with the echo site for pennies. Anything now is 15 years too late.

Well said mate.

The club and Tesco CP'd very nice modern houses to make way for the Kirkby Shed and the bloated shopping centre in Kirkby.

The binning of it didnt stop those people losing their homes I might add.

I actually love the fact I can look from my seat in the main stand across to the bullens road/gwladys street and so very little has changed from way back to the 1930's,the Archibald leitch design,it's magic,and no I'm not taking the Mickey,I'm deadly serious!

I totally agree with you mate. I know all about progress and sightlines and revenues and all that but Goodison park is part of us. I would go so far as to say I love "LOVE" Goodison. Not an "it" but a "she". The place where Dean and Lawton played.

Going to Goodison is going to where our fathers, grandfathers and great grandfathers went to support the grandest greatest club of all through thick and thin.

I will cry real tears the day we leave. I really will. I won't be alone. Goodison is the family home of the Everton family. The place we all feel one. I will be heartbroken if and when we go.

Just imagine bulldozers breaking down our Grand Old Lady the place where our fathers dreamed of victories. Still the greatest football ground in the world as it always will be.

All this talk of turning the stadium, moving it along a bit, where are we playing whilst this goes on?

As in Spurs case, they will use the MK Stadium which is a fantastic stadium for 2 years while their new one is built. Likewise we would have to find a solution for 2 seasons.

Tbf, you did have your min price set to £50k, there's a fair few below £50k, with the value seemingly dropping the closer to Goodison they get...

The 'zed' index here shows averages (admittedly driven partly by estimates) within the areas of L4, interestingly, they get lower in value the closer to Goodison Park you get.

If anything the only hope we have at seeing a goodison refurb is with a sheikh or other money man being at the helm

Out of curiousity, and namely because the board has kept stum on all if any happenings with WHP, how difficult would it be to get planning permission for a land expansion on the Bullens Road end and to remove as many restricted views from Goodison as possible?

 

[Kiwi]

If that was indeed the plan, in my eyes we'd see the Bullens Road be shifted over it's width again, encroaching into the School carpark and each of the houses bordering the Bullens Road.
However that would mean we'd only have to purchase a few houses instead of a wholesale buyout of the terraces.
This'd allow the Bullens to be moved back, facilitating expansion of the upper Bullens and a move to a cantilever roof to reduce obstructed views. It could also allow the pitch to be moved to the east which in turn would facilitate a move of the Main stand forward.
Park end could be expanded and the Glady's St re roofed.
Seems feasible to me.

 

[degsy]

It's been shown that we can do it one side at a time with a small increase in footprint and very few CP's

Lets face it, WHP, built all at once for 150M+ and / or think of a number, is not going to happen.

It might be a fantastic stadium but it's about 50 miles away from their current ground. Their fans are far from happy with the arrangement and I can see why. It'd be like us playing home games in Stoke or Burnley.

Park End should be the first to be sorted, its a stand barely fit for a league one stand
