New Everton Stadium

[Toffeeslam]

So,

Does anyone know when the roof trust for the south stand gets lifted ?

The thing is, the Qatar Airways Stadium sounds rubbish. At least The Emirates, or The Ethiad are abbreviated so don't sound as bad. The Qatar Stadium actually sounds worse than The Qatar Airways Stadium.

I reckon most people will still call it Bramley Moore

You dont call Goodison Park 'Goodison Road' or 'Mere Green'....

Other than the TV and media, no one calls it Goodison Park…it’s Goodison….always has been…….

It's the one thing that is any good about our club at the minute Matty. Things won't get better till we start changing things, this is another step in that process.

My worry is that its going to be a huge millstone round our neck.

It could just as easily be the thing that saves us.

City wouldn’t be where they are without their stadium. It’s what made them an attractive proposition.

No mate, we wasted £500M on crap players with nothing to show for it. Now we are spending a similar amount to have a wonderful stadium next to the Mersey…a great investment……

it’s the thinking ( to me ) that everything about is now it’s a mess.

i don’t fancy a crap team of ours being in the champ

That’s nonsensical, really.

Others have already given plenty of examples. The location/sighting of a stadium is not something that is referred to in its name. To argue in favour of keeping a slave owners name in the name of our new stadium is just odd.

We shouldn’t be ashamed it’s built on Bramley Moore dock but we certainly shouldn’t be actively pushing that name.

Let's be honest mate. The whole drama on here about a dock being named after a slave trader is one of the lemonheads most effective wumming for a long time. A lot of people have fallen for it, most have correctly just ignored him. You are probably still worried about getting hit by the wind turbines that he tried wumming about too?

You've been here a while so you should already know this, but I will spell it out for you anyway.

Anything that the lemonhead says is a pile of manure designed solely to wind people up and is not based on any semblance of fact or sensibility.

As long as the loan is not hit with stupid interest rates then it more or less pays for itself with the extra customers, non matchday events and naming rights. At some point we would have had to have started rebuilding Goodison which given the hemmed in site would have costed far more than say the RS one, with no chance of the stand being left open while we build behind it like theirs - so less income generated across multiple seasons.

With no naming rights and having to compromise in the design to fit the unusual shape of the surroundings that would have likely been a far greater millstone.

No one does but most championship squads are built from tens of millions or less, so we could more or less replace the lot save for our defence and a few odd players here and there that are on the longer contracts very quickly. Who knows McNeil might tear up that league. Gray would certainly be one of the best players in it.

Naughty, naughty, very naughty.
