Indulge me one question, do you live on the Wirral? This has a huge dependence upon satisfying supporters from the Wirral (sic)

I do not live on the Wirral, but one third of our season ticket supporters come from there. It is also a part of Merseyside and is well inside EFCs immediate catchment area. We also have a comprehensive rapid-transit rail network, that can be greatly expanded, that also serves the Wirral and all Merseyside and beyond (like Chester). That will bring them all in quickly and in comfort. This guarantees high gates and hence revenues - what the club desperately needs. Look at the link I gave re: Arsenal. Did you understand it? You develop selective amnesia when plain facts destroy your warped perceptions and illusions. Get into the real world, its nice here:

I can see positive outcomes in many of the proposals suggested over the years, but the common denominator in all
is in bold. And not just prohibitive. Far beyond the means of EFC.

That may change, one day, but I'm not confident.

It can only change when the club fulfils is plans to move into a new high revenue income stadium. But they got lots wrong in the Kirkby plan - one was not including the city's mass-transit rail network to serve the stadium to guarantee high attendances - how dumb!

Got a lot of time for these rail transit stadium schemes, grew up living close to the railway. This is me and my sisters in Kirkdale:

I used to sit on the wall at Edge Hill trainspotting when I was a kid. And I've often, in later years, gone through Edge Hill to Lime St travelling from London on the way to Goodison.

Used to catch the 26 bus - or was it the 27 - to Sleepers Hill and walk down from there. Dead easy and quite therapeutic, actually. Where there's a will..

Inner-city. Liverpool FC have chosen for the area around Anfield to look like that. You appear to think that it's some kind of accident.

LFC have deliberately run down an already down-at the-heels district lowering house prices and buying up ta knock-down prices from residents they have clearly ripped off. They should be told to eff off by the Council for deliberately ruining a district and many families lives.

At the moment the club have nothing to offer. Many of the locals residents are not happy with Fenway Sports Group's proposals, which is why it has stalled. May is the month given by Ian Ayre for an Anfield revamp plan. We are in May and he believes now there will be a breakthrough - we are waiting. If that happens, the plans can be submitted to Liverpool City Council who will then pass them onto Central government. HMG have to give their approval because the stadium redevelopment now comes under the classification of the Anfield regeneration project. Do not expect anything until the autumn at the earliest.

Below: the appalling decrepit streets around Anfield. What an appalling image:

If Liverpool FC want to compete with Man U and Arsenal they need a 70,000 plus stadium with extensive corporate facilities and a mass-transit rail station to guarantee attendances and high revenues - Liverpool has such a rail system called Merseyrail, which is a smaller version of London's underground. That cannot be attained staying at Anfield. Anfield is in a run-down district giving the city and club a bad image. Staying at Anfield will mean the club will not fully compete at the top. Hence it is a backwards step. And we will hear all the droning from ****e fans of when they were big in the 70s and 80s, unable to compete with Man U. Then they will fade away. Think small and you stay small.

The 27 bus was therapeutic? Wow, you are odd. It was an awful bus as its stopped every few feet. The roads were appalling and full of holes throwing you about. Give me a swishing, smooth, warm train right to the stadium any time.

You spotted trains? Have you got over this affliction? Do you still have your anorak?

wind your neck in you whopper, you've created an instant demand yourself, this is all about trains and the Wirral and absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Everton FC. It isn't even about the ground, location or football, you want to reopen train tracks and use stadia as the driver in economic reasoning. You're deluded enough to stand on the kop. Get a grip man, there's not enough life left around to dream your dream of Chuggington FC, FaFS...:o
