You know what i think its about time Robert Earl put him hand in his pocket, and bought the stadium, call it the Universal Studios stadium for all i care, More seats with no OBSTRUCTED VIEWS.

God that nothing article in the Daily Fail has really kicked this off again hasn't it?!??!

I won't believe any of this until I am sat in the new stadium with a pint of warm Chang and a cold scouse pie.

If it happens the best place for it would be along the dock road (Clarence Dock maybe), Walton hall park would be fine for the club, but not as a 24/7 venue, plus it would be fought strongly by the residents

probably auction them off before we move, you could have one installed in your living room directly in front of the TV

Forgive my leanings of doubt towards this whole thing. We've continually made an embarrassment of ourselves in announcing things that never ever happen, including three previous stadium moves - and that's just in the past twenty years.

Then I have more concerns if it did get off the ground as any money would be funnelled away from the team towards the stadium. Those currently with big shareholdings have shown no intent to invest actual money of their own into growing Everton, their asset, to even facilitate a good sale.

I should be excited but with the likes of Elstone and the board in place I just can't be.

I think you will find that to be the consensus. Once bitten, twice shy with this board

If it was U2 it would be New Year's Day wouldn't it?

It would be my desire to see a new stadium and it would fill me with pride as it would probably be the sweetest thing, but hopefully the derby will be on a Saturday, not a Sunday bloody Sunday. But, given our board's inpetitude, the design will probably be bad and leave me thinking I still haven't found what I'm looking for, but nevertheless, wherever the team ends up, I will follow.

Hopefully with this stadium we won't be stuck in a moment you can't get out of.

Just hope we don't have many games on Sunday bloody Sunday.

If we get a boss stadium I'll have a big Bono on, but they'll probably just keep us on the edge for now.
There was a spot in town they could've used called adam clayton square but it's too small.

I don't know what the other person out of u2 is called, soz.

Goodison Park also only has 39,000 seats. Fairly sure that has something to do with quicker traffic dispersion rates. It also has poor public transport links with the nearest train station being a good 10 minute walk away.

Moving a mile down the road isn't going to massively change things in that respect.

And if somebody gave me the choice of staying at Goodison or moving to a new stadium but having to wait an extra 15 minutes in the car to get out after the game i know which option i'd go for.

If they just turned all the lights green for 10 or 20 minutes after the game (down that road to the East Lancs Road/M57) then traffic would be almost non-existent. I've never understood why the police don't do this.

Loads of people park at that proposed site anyway and walk to Goodison, and on the road outside, making it 2 lanes instead of 3 until you get quite far down it.

We park at the taxi club every game and drive out past it, and if the stadium was there the traffic would be lot less of a problem.

They could put on buses from the centre/Lime St. (Leeds do this plus many others) and build a rail link, and they could change the road layout slightly around the new ground for matchdays.

Pretty much all new ground have to have acceptable transport links, parking and roads to get planning/safety approval these days, so this would be part of the construction process.

Basically I don't think that aspect of it would be a problem.
