New Everton Stadium

Pardon the ignorance mate, but when clubs quote their stadia capacities, is that with executive seating included in the figures?
I tend to think not, and they are quoting available seating for regular fans.
If you are saying 55k and another 5-7k executive seating and he is saying 60k, you both may be saying the same thing?
If you are saying 55k total with the 5k included in that total, then disregard this.

Why wouldn't you include exec seats in the overall capacity?? :/
 

I would estimate that the lack of a second tier holding 6,000 spectators at the Park End has "cost" Everton around £40 million in lost gate receipts over the last 22 years.

If anything showed the lack of foresight of the club at the time, it was this decision not to build another tier to the park end. If memory serves me right, I think we were even given a grant towards its build.

What assumptions does that make?

Based on we currently generate £20 net per seat per game, I've estimated we would have received an average of £15 per seat per game over the last 22 years. Based on 20 games a season, 6,000 x 20 x £15 x 22 = £39.6 million.

Ta, after considering the cost of expansion as well that really isn't a lot extra on an annual basis.

Yes but the Park end only cost about 2.5m to build back in 94 and 1.3m of that was a grant. Probably double the cost of another tier at the time (5m) it still makes roughly an additional 2m per annum, based on the esk figures he has calculated, it is certainly not to be scoffed at.

No doubt, but still not a huge amount in any shape or form.

Maybe not with the television deals now, but back in the late 90s and early 2000s when money was tight it would have made a difference. You never know it could be the difference between still owning our own training ground.
