New Everton Stadium

Stadium naming rights.....touchy subject but im sure that would also generate a few million a season. In an ideal world we dont want this to happen but at the same time if the club is to move forward it is a sensible option.

Moving to a new stadium has to make financial sense.

£100m might sound cheap but it is £100m we don't have.

For it to make economic sense we need to generate £100m in either additional sales or savings over Goodison Park over the lifetime of the project.

£100m is likely to cost around £7m per year in borrowing costs.

Goodison currently generates circa £20m so a new stadium would have to a 50% rise in gate receipts to reach break even point on the borrowing costs alone (effectively we'd have to increase crowds and box use at the same time as increasing prices)

A football only stadium in somewhere like Walton Hall Park would be an economic disaster for the club. Any new stadium project needs to be in the city/docks and be used every day of the year.

Agreed, a lot of debate is going on about how we would increase our gate receipts based on our historical average attendance and how we could push this up to fill a 50k ground. Is it possible not sure but a stadium that can be used for events etc would help to drive revenue streams in the city center.

I'm ambivalent on the subject of naming rights - a new stadium couldn't be called 'Goodison Park', so it would have to be called something else anyway - so as long as it isn't some terrible name, I wouldn't mind too much.
 

We should sell the naming rights to Apple, Im sure they could help design something and have it linked in with google. Also talking about keeping costs down i thought that Tesco said that they would pretty much build our ground for us. Not quite sure what happened to that idea in the end

Has to be city centre, it wont be, but i feel we're missing a massive opportunity with Liverpool staying at Anfield. We could take the city for ourselves with all the tourists and publicity that brings whilst they rot in Anfield. I curse the day the kings dock fell through. Would have been one of the iconic premier league grounds.

The government is paying the majority for the Olympic stadium, west ham pay 15 million with 2 million each year for rent.


The deal is a total rip off for taxpayers

London based government, helps out London based football club, lets be honest is anybody surprised. they've always looked after them selves and feed the rest of the country crumbs from their table. Lets ask them for £60m to help redevelop Goodison park and see what their reaction would be. I'd rather Scotland remain in the UK and cut London adrift think the whole of the country would be better off.
 
The whole West Ham stadium is a joke, one of the poorest councils in the whole country is paying a fortune to words this stadium. Not to mention poor Orient
