New Everton Stadium

[James Patrick]

I think we could have easily made the stadium 60k or 65k and sold out every week. It's a bit of a missed opportunity there i think. The premier league is so massive now. I guess they had in the back of their mind potential relegation. Hopefully expanding the stadium isn't too difficult a task, I think there is an option there for that isn't there in the future?

Another 7k would've have been disproportionately more expensive (tens of £Millions more) but cheaper than after the event. As I understand it we weren't allowed to go any higher which limited capacity. Given financial issues we faced was probably just as well but simple physical expansion is now very difficult & expensive.
