New Everton Stadium

[Brisan123]

This week has been the most significant week in the history of the club since the founding of the Premier League. In time, it may come to be seen as the most seismic event since, well, we moved to Goodison! This gives the club the chance to become fully relevant once more. Had we moved to that shed in Kirkby, or if Bill Kenwright had his way, we would have transmogrified from one of the major clubs of English football to an historic Tranmere Rovers, the latest in the sad and glorious lineage of Accrington Stanley and Preston North End.

The history and size of the club demands that we rejoin the elite of English football - and stay there. It's an obligation. How far have we fallen? Well, there was a pretty active debate a few seasons ago when Koeman came about whether we were a bigger club than Southampton. Let's be fair. Southampton is a fine football club. However, we used to be giants. Yes, little ol' Everton. Kenwright has so much to answer for. I am not going to slag him off on this historic day, but I will stick to facts: the most unsuccessful chairman in the club's history. Nil Satis Nisi Optimum - and you weren't it, Bill.

West Ham fan here. Goodison is one of the last pukka stadiums. I urge you to fight the move with all your souls. Go for the 82 million revamp. Trust me, you will regret spending half a billion for a crap modern tourist trap

We are building our own stadium, not inheriting an Athletics stadium.

I've been to your ground and it's not actually that bad. I enjoyed the game ok when I was there as a neutral.

Mate, our athletics nightmare is even worse, but ask any old school spuds fan and they will also warn you. I’d take your hand off to have their stadium design instead of ours, but not their debt. Poch and Jose were/are being told to find new signings on Hackney marshes, as long as they’re not too expensive.

Trust me i know how bad your stadium is i have worked there, i have also worked at the spuds stadium, night and day difference between them. We have better owners who don't seem to care about money as much, i mean look how much we have been spending, Moshiri is £450 mill in and counting and we all know Usmanov is in the background. It really is a different situation to both you and the Spuds. Plus building in London is always going to double the price plus Levy made people pay for 10 seasons upfront, thats where a lot of the money came from.

There are way more issues involved here mate. The ground is just one part of the whole story. Well, if the narrative many on here believe is true. (which it most likely is).

Peel has just seen the value of their investment shoot up

So has Moshiri......

 

[Brisan123]

Seen this in the Red Echo from Kirkbride about the funding (says not yet agreed a lender).

"And the Blues will now ramp up talks with a clutch of financial institutions before choosing which lender to strike a deal with.

Moshiri is expected to pump in around £100m towards the project while the new stadium project will be part funded by the naming rights deal the club agreed with USM Holdings last year.

Everton have yet to reveal the value of that deal but USM paid £30m for first refusal, at pre-agreed terms, on the rights."

One things for certain they'll be shenanigans aplenty with that USM naming rights deal in regards to FFP.

There will be shenanagins the like of which have never been seen before

Boy its gonna be a wrench leaving the Grand Old Lady , been going there for over 50 years and experienced every kind of emotion there is.
My car's been on auto pilot to Stanley Park since i started to drive.

Massive emotional attachment to the place for me and my family.

So glad its not in a Public Park , Kirkby or Gilmoss.

Fantastic effort by the club and everyone involved making this dream come true.

Finally the tide has turned for us. No looking back now ....but yeah , gonna miss the Old Lady

Lot and lots of circumstances at play that are specific to each club. Not saying everything will be perfect but we seem to be walking a tightrope that appeases most.

You lot wanted to reach for the highest echelons of the PL with a stadium move and it appears to be job done. We'll be looking to do the same.

All you photoshop wizards ,any chance of BMD next to the red shed ?

I would not sully our new home by placing it next to a barn ,
Unless its posted on RAWK of course

When you left Upton Park, you had a parade of taxi drivers and pearly kings and queens.

We’re having lads on mountain bikes doing wheelies all round the gaff wearing North Face trackies and Tom Davies doing ollies on his skateboard.

Going to be boss.

A monumental moment in the history of this great club. We have the owner, management structure in place, the only thing holding us back was the stadium. All in all not a bad week to be a blue.

The stadium didn’t get us to where we are now; that is all down to Moyes and his coaching staff. Even our athletics bowl would be bouncing right now, if we were allowed in, but I can only dream what it would have been like watching this group of players at an enlarged Upton Park.
