New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

Australia has just cancelled hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games as being too expensive. Shouldn’t we be all over this as it could easily contribute a massive sum to our stadium costs.

Unless we do a Hampden and drop a raised platform in for the running track (and lose capacity), it's too late to make the stadium athletics-capable.

You do realise that an Athletics track is much bigger than a football pitch, don't you?

Knock a wall through or make them go a little further on a smaller track, simple.

They could use the top of the roof.

Just put the track around the outside

Now that's the kind of outside of the box thinking I like lol

See, solutions not just problems. You may be able to tell that I’ve never in my whole life watched a single moment of the olympics or the commonwealth games, nor Wimbledon either. Just a bunch of men in costumes picking up litter does nothing for me.

Can we please stop considering a running track at Bramley Moore, that'd be horrendous.

Only one slight drawback is that the spectators might not be able to see it.... Wait a minute, you could be on to something here, why don't we put the pitch outside of the stadium, better than all the obstructed views put together.

BMD is too small for even a football pitch, there is no way an athletics track would fit

And a footy pitch won't fit so no chance of a running track

 

[lesbattersby]

Just put in a track and tell them to run around 1 and a half times. Any wonder this club is falling so far behind, no foresight.

Isnt the aquatics centre the puddle on the roof?

Could do a double story Cut out a hole of additional stadium size, leaving enough earth or reinforcement under the main (football) stadium build a state-of-the-art athletics field/ training area, will obviously be indoor/astroturf. Inbuilt hospital food court shopping mall.
