New Everton Stadium

It’s a bit of a leap you’re making to pull Kenwright in there and I’ll leave you to it, to be honest.

Bit of a leap connecting Kenwright with the decline of our club? Really?

An electronic microscope used for measuring the size of sub-atomic particles couldn't measure that leap.

Don't think I ever noticed before that the UU land that we have borrowed was just wasteland. Makes it even more frustrating we couldn't have come to an agreement to buy it off them. 2m30s in the below video.

That is very annoying, we could have made the north stand bigger if we bought that wasteland.

 

[Tom Hughes]

it'd be nice, even if it is just one little bar tucked away somewhere with 3 or 4 different ones on the go, fizzy lagery things arent for me, cream flow bitters are foul, the only other option is guiness but that takes ages to pour so unlikely to be on.

Seen Draught Guinness at a few away grounds and of course there are Guinness dispensers at Goodison. As regards Real Ale, is there an issue of short shelf-life? If there was a way to have access on non-matchdays to one of the bar areas, could there be scope to have a wider range available, if there was a regular turnover? Would enough people go to BMD on non-matchdays?

It's not "wasteland" for ever is it?! Peel will want to exploit every inch of space..

Does anyone know if we'll be selling real ale in the ground? I know it takes 5 times longer than beer to be poured, but 0.1% of the fanbase prefer it. I've checked the travel documents and there's nothing about it?

I think they’ll be thinking of the environmental impact real ale has on the ozone layer.

Perhaps, but blaming an inanimate object for our decline is nonsense.

It hasn't caused our decline but it is a symbol of said decline, caused by dwindling ambition by the people who have run the club.

I don't personally prescribe to the thinking it's cursed and can't wait to see it knocked down, but there is whole generation (actually possibly 3 if you count the youngest who are going now) that won't have known Goodison as one of the best grounds in the country, with title winning sides gracing the pitch. Therefore I can understand why some do. Your experience will of course be different, so I wouldn't take offence.

We are talking about a strip of land running alongside the North stand. This is owned by United Utilities, beyond the Liverpool waters boundary that we now occupy the very edge of.

It was uneven and full of weeds and we've basically flattened and tarmacked it for them.

So it's an easement strip then?

It is at the moment, as we have agreed to use it for access during the build. I'd imagine we will be handing it back shortly.

Aramark's COO mentions selling local craft beers, etc. in this interview:

The decline was probably 1990 onwards with a brief respite under Joe Royle, Moyes kept us respectable, but all our owners since the Moore's family really have been pretty awful.

United utilities tried to get the whole project stopped, they weren't going to give us any of the land they occupy.

They used to serve draught Guinness in the upper bullens, about 10 years ago.

Took a Mersey ferry tour this morning, just so I could see it from the water. You can watch photo's or drone footage as much as you like (and I definitely like it), but watching it with your own eyes is even more impressing.
