New Everton Stadium

60k was more than mooted. It was fully drawn up and the rendered imagery was used throughout the initial consultation processes, and even in the much later roadshow.

John Blain also used 61878 at several early meetings on the subject and he always says he's never used this forum, but he is an avid user of twitter, so maybe he saw your number there.

I encouraged anyone and everyone to keep putting the 61878 number out there at every opportunity. Seemed the perfect number at the time. However there was never any official line quoting 61878 as the proposed attendance.
Similar to yesterday's clamouring of 'TFG want to expand the ground' when what was actually said was they want to increase the clubs footprint in the surrounding area.
So the 61878 thing was primarily my fault and not anyone at the club.
