New Everton Stadium

Nope, just expanding the Bullens backwards onto the Bullens Road, so adding depth to the bullens. Rush diagram obvs, black arrows are where the stand would be extended back to, black line would be the new Bullens Road cutting through only a few houses and the school car park. View attachment 14451

Ah yes, good point - and it would offer the potential to fill in the gap in the corner next to Park End.

Aye. It'd help cut down on restricted views as we could move to a cantilevered roof too.
After that an expansion of the Park End followed by renovations of the Main Stand and Gwladys st. would be in order. Hopefully would meet what we need in terms of improving our commercial offering and expanding capacity whilst reducing restricted views. Then we could look at furthering our commercial arm with the current carpark+ family zone and possibly building that annex we had planned a while back, could buy up the wreckers for car parking space etc
 
Whilst it's good to discuss all the alternatives to a new stadium the inescapable truth is that the soon to be released accounts will again show Everton cannot fund a ground move or a redevelopment of Goodison.

Equally neither the ground move or redevelopment can be funded by debt, so in the absence of new investment or new owners nothing is going to happen.
 

I am not sure to be honest, would need to look into it. The idea would be not to preserve the building (the stadium) as a listed building but to preserve the heritage and recognise the relationship between the ground, club and local area plus the cultural contribution and significance on a local, national and global level.

I haven't checked to see if any sporting stadia have been given such status. Given that there are around 35 industrial sites around the globe with world heritage status it should be possible to argue that a sporting site and local area be afforded similar privileges.

Needs further research.....

Is there any actual money tied to such a designation, or does it simply streamline the applicability of preservation money (or create political pressure to employ/create preservation money)?

My hat is hung, still, as an eternal optimist, that one will happen.

But not new owners.

And today we find a sugar daddy all the way from Kansas USA ready to take over the club .
 

There may be a number of factors which could delay any updates. Ongoing takeover talks or the Chairmans health just to name two.

I cannot help but feel that the announcement by Joe Anderson that he was going to give an update by the end of October was meant more as as a message or warning to certain parties at Everton or possibly even buyers/investors rather than an attempt to update fans.
It would appear there are interested buyers/investors involved and maybe the Council are not being kept up to date with developments and as they are providing the site which may have enticed investors to talk in the first place they may feel they should be party to any discussions.

If the chairman is in poor health that is likely to slow negotiations as well.

I think there may be several different games being played here of which the average fan has no clue whatsoever.
