New Everton Stadium

[Tom Hughes]

Just for info Spurs are located in one of the richest and biggest cities in Europe where millions of people live and there’s a lot of investment
We are based in a north west provincial city that has 2 teams and is famous for a band from 60years ago and a song from a musical. Little investment and much reduced population.
And we haven’t won anything for 27 years.
We are getting a brand new stadium on the docks paid for by a crazy benefactor with great views, cold beer and toilets!
I think we need to get real.

If you want to get real, Spurs have only won the league twice in their history. They share that big city with over a dozen other clubs and the last time they were champions was before the Beatles or Gerry Marsden had even released a record, and many of their neighbours have won it since..... so I'm not sure of the relevance of that snippet. For further perspective you could also say that even Darlington and Derby have more boxes than the proposed number at BMD.... I'm not sure how those great metropolises compare to our city nowadays.

I'm glad to hear that our benefactor is paying for the lot though.........

So are Liverpool FC, Man City and Man Utd

I think the stadium is underwhelming compared to Spurs stadium, the capacity is too low, maybe this will be increased slightly at the end to maybe 55k. Looking at the internals compared to the Spurs stadium, it doesn't look nowhere near as complex and spurs have eight to nine floors, compared to our four and that is on the West & East sides, the North & South only have two to three floors. To call the stadium one of the best in the world is a bit over the top compared to a lot of the new builds, location wise that is a yes though.

Would you rather 60k in a 53k stadium, or 60k in a 60k stadium?

Is this a trick question?!

How does that in anyway entitle us to anything?

City got a ground free and United was in an industrial estate where they could expand
Oh and those have had a bit more success recently so if they were to build a new stadium maybe they would get a larger capacity.

Everton would get in touching distance of the BMD capacity by building a proper stand at the Park End.

 

[andy4efc]

Be lucky to get 6k next season nevermind 60!

What about the rest of the ground where people are sat behind posts and get a letter box view of the game ?

 

[Scarecrow]

They'd still pay to sit there, as they are doing now.

Getting to the point where i'd happily puy this on hold for like 5 years just to get the football side of things sorted

I can see why you are saying this but the building of the BMD is the only thing keeping a lot of us sane at the moment.

 

[charlie atkins]

20.000 would be big enough, chance to lay down and maybe fall asleep
