New Everton Stadium

[Moomin]

Why is it not legal though? It can clearly be done safely.

Taylor report after Hillsbrough states all stadiums need to be all seated.

Rail seating would be perfect, then we can have a "standing area" anyway

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

Build a bigger, better stadium them then right next to them and they will be in our shadow.

We're 'right next to them' as it is. Just far enough away to escape the smell of stale p1ss.

Once again I'll say if we're gonna move from GP (And I hope not) then the Collins playing fields should be the first and only place we should consider.

Nowhere else across the city has a much going for it.

What would be the problems with building a new stadium designed to look exactly like Goodison but with obviously an updated interior?

Goodisn looks quite small from their new stand.

If Hillsbrough is the only reason then i think its time for that decision to be reviewed. There were a number of reasons people died that day and that fact that people were allowed to stand in the ground was the least of them. Would they ban police from grounds because they were at fault? No, because that would be moronic. The fences were the main hazard and they've rightly been removed. They had to make a change at the time but things have moved on and there's no reason that people can't stand at games safely.

It's morally larger though

Well the original idea was a kind of Football Quarter, so 2 grounds and other facilities would fulfil that brief.

But still under their shadow?

Get real...................

Have you visited the area?

They are on top of a hill!!!!!!!

That will always put them above us however big a new stadium would be.

The fences were also removed due to the Taylor report. Even before Hillsbrough, plenty of near misses and a tragedy was always on the cards.

Standing is a generation ago, best we leave it as well. Safety first.

I'd happily accept the original plans for Kings Dock as our new stadium, that looked amazing and it still would today.

Let build it on the moon

Standing is always going to be a contentious issue due to Hillsborough, personally speaking I would be in favour of it, works well in Germany. Can see no reason why it couldn't be trialled. The main reason for that horrific day at Hillsborough was poor policing and the fences. Can't see it being brought back anytime soon all the same.
