New Everton Stadium

Is it perspective people are getting fooled with?

Very possibly.

 

[Dr Baxter]

Just read what I think is a new set of docs re. the tannoys. Loads of speakers, as you'd expect, and plenty in the fan zone and even on the walls on the dock road. Be prepared to be deafened.

 

[Dr Baxter]

Just thought, will our news address be Regent Road? Most fitting, don't you think?

If we had the option to but Nelson surely we would have. We wouldn't then be shoehorning the stadium into the current space.

I'd be amazed if any other dock in LW gets filled in. There's too much heritage focus now and besides which the docks themselves are actually the biggest selling point foe development, our situation is very unique.

True;
Docks = potential instant 4 sided waterfront...5, counting the river side as well.
As to bars and restaurants, if people see a quid to be made they will pop up like mushrooms

52,888.
I can see an exclusive Triple8 lounge

Don't be silly he is far too busy ringing up the council's emergency hotline every 5 seconds enquiring what will the dog walkers and kite fliers do. Tom is also on the case saying that the alternative proposals haven't been thought through and Goodison can be made into a 70k superstadium if we evict everyone in a half a mile radius, so this PP application should be denied.

Bit harsh on Tom

Had a good look at the plans. I might have missed it but will their be cushions on the seats. Really miss throwing them after a bad performance

 

[degsy]

The four dressing rooms are so we can host four-team tournaments

2 mens
2 womens, its the latest thing.

your idiocy at times is astounding people will pay for premium seats at a new stadium. We don't currently have many due to goodison being massively outdated and severely lacking corporate hospitality the demand will be there with vastly improved corporate facilities infact feel free to bump this in 4-5 years time I'm very confident that demand will far exceed supply. And our seats are cheaper due to fact we have alot of restricted views and as a general rule we look after our supporters more then most top flight clubs.

No doubt there will be pricing increases with the move thats to be expected moving to world class stadium with improved seating. Prices will be adjusted accordingly depending on what kind of seating is offered. There will still be a good chunk of the seating affordable for most supporters and increased corporate income is to be welcomed we are severely lacking in that area and personally being an international blue I'd be happy to pay 400 odd qiud for premium seats I dont visit often and watching the blues in style suits me.

We have some of the poorest fans in the league loads and I mean loads of people i know can barley afford the season ticket.

Not many people will pay for premium seats unless it's a big game and there are no tickets on general sale.

Any fans wanting to get tickets for the odd match will easily get them.

 

[havrey0123]

I wouldn't pay for a premium seat and I don't think you would. But enough people can and will buy them and that is all that matters.

A lot of people buy them as a last resort to get tickets from a game especially people from abroad as a one off.

Again if tickets are.on general sale especially for the cup games they will choose them and save the money

 

[degsy]

And what will happen to the 8000 people currently on the waiting list?

Hopefully they will get first crack.
I'm on the list for 4, but that was me covering my bases familywise. Probably end up with 2

That is one of the smallest increases moving to a new stadium as far as I can recall. Maybe it's genius for the points you make, I see it as under playing our hand. But it is what it is and we have to be happy whatever.

I can't argue with that part, but I do think @MarcelsGoat has a good point about how we've to some extent limited ourselves with the final choice of location.

While Bramley-Moore brings around many positives that shouldn't be underestimated, we can't ignore that we are developing on quite a limited site in terms of size.

It also has certain complications that may/are inducing additional costs: filling in the dock. To reach a higher attendance, I suspect* the cost would go up markedly.

Admittedly, I've always been in the camp of 52k being acceptable but not ideal, and I do believe the iconic location itself will be a future draw for fans and business.

However if the club were able to squeeze in a few extra thousand seats (say up to 55k) for a reasonable price, I do believe we should have looked at doing it.

Still, the club have done a lot of research on the numbers, so perhaps we have to trust their judgement and will not see too much of an increase on ticket prices.

*This has been discussed previously although it may have been months or years ago.

 

[royalblue66]

Why are reds buzzing with our survey? Have we really said they have twice as many fans lol

Not according to Labby.

 

[Pabbers]

I’m looking forward to seeing these premium packages.

 

[Seathestars]

Not many people are going to pay for premium seats. We have one of the lowest priced tickets in the league already.

Ticket prices are likely to be increased for the new stadium, pricing some people out.

Also if there is likely to be seats going to general sale for a lot of games

You talk some absolute [Poor language removed] on here you.
How do you know not many will pay for premium seats.
