New Everton Stadium

Surely Joe lewis will put his hand in his pocket ?
Can you see Kane being sold ??

In the 15-20 years our multi Billionaire owner has owned the club I don't remember him (or he's company ENIC) ever once putting their hand in their own pockets and as the club has always paid its own way I can't see them doing so now?

Sell Kane?
I doubt very much Levy would contemplate doing so cos the bad knock on effect would be horrendous.
Because of ENIC's lack of investment in the transfer market/not trying to move to the next level, (I actually think we are now going backwards player wise.)
If I was Kane, I would give Spurs at most one more season and then leave. Don't matter how much respect you have for a club, he only has one career and a player of he's ability deserves to be playing for a team with as much ability and ambition as he has.
It's really up to the owners to show him that they can match he's ambition but???

I think he will be gone this summer. Best for him and the club.....

H.H.
What in your opinion has gone so wrong at Spurs ?
Twelve months ago we were hoping ye would win the CL final, not too many weeks before Spurs were still on the coat tails of Liverpool and Spurs.
Is it down to the cost of the new ground and Levy being more concerned about money than football ?

It's 100% down to the owners not reinvesting the the very good squad that we had two/three seasons ago.
We had done very well competing with the bigger clubs with astute signings but when we got to that stage Poch had told them we needed to add faces but we always did the bare minimum. The manager also had to contend with a season and half of no home games and and three transfer windows with not one signing and was up against clubs still spending mega money, he did miracles to continue to keep getting us into the Champions League and that get us to 90 minutes of winning the worlds biggest club trophy.
For 3 seasons Poch told Levy we needed new faces but they never came. When this season started it was there for all to see that Poch had had enough, the chapter was over when it could have been a springboard to become established at the top and hopefully then start winning trophies?
It's all good having the best stadium in the world but the owners didn't do the delicate balancing act of investing in both so that makes a fair few think that the owners would rather invest in what they think is best for their own investment above the success of the club?

I'm not saying ENIC haven't done well for the club but they haven't done the great job they could have done and the slide may be quite a big one?

Can anyone explain this rail seating. Us it a seat this lifts up so that 2 people can occupy stand in the space where there would only be one person for the seat

Its a little less than 2 per space at the maximum. Any install at Old Trafford or Molineaux will likely be a ratio of 1:1.

There are some documents on line (and in here) as to how Everton propose to increase capacity with the use of rail seating, but it wont be applicable as a method for vast majority of existing stadia.
 

One of the Everton proposals is for an intermediate step, similar to that in the gangway, so that two can stand per seat location without affecting the 'C value'. So thats the plan at Everton, and what the stadium in that case will be designed to hold.
Given that you could stand one in front of the other ,there will then be more space to fill the voids ,I reckon 3-1 is not too overcrowded at all .
 
Safe standing isn't even yet in law so for the foreseeable years (maybe forever,) rail seating will be on a 1-1 basis and will still be the case when BMD is built.

Also, IF more than 1-1 was to ever be allowed, there is a lot more to it than just squeezing more in (like size of concourse/how many toilets there is/how many exits there is etc,) to be taken into consideration.
