So the vote papers are on the way..

[FCConnecticut]

I've always thought they looked ace. Plus they got that whole 'sleeping giant' thing going on.

 

[Gazdalf]

If this get's voted down I'm buying a Newcastle kit!

Lost interest in football AND higher wages?

If the worst scenario came to be that the fans votes "no" to this move, no good location can be agreed upon by Everton and LCC and we fall down to the Championship. "At least we're still in Liverpool!" sounds fairly poor substitution to me. We'll loose even more fans among the youngsters then I think.

why on earth would this happen if we don't move to kirkby? i know wynes said it and i don't understand why he did.

that my friend is the real scaremongering.

As I wrote in the paragraph you quoted.. "If the worst scenario". Not saying it will come to pass.

But Goodison is close to being deemed unworthy as other have stated. what can happen if Goodison is deemed unworthy?

And it's not scaremongery to state that we will loose supporters if we make the move?

As in previous situations if you're ground is deemed unsafe you either can't get promoted or are relegated, they will base it on safety grounds and lower attendences in the championship.

There was a bloke who phoned up radio city the other night, he strongly opposed the move for the simple fact that children in Liverpool would be growing up supporting Liverpool because the ground would be more local.

Seemed a bit petty to me. To be honest i'm all for going, i couldnt care less about what Liverpool fans say. This stadium is going to take us forward, ticket prices will shoot up which is worrying. Its a case of now or never though really.

 

[Cal]

Im voting no

 

[Blue Wiz]

Read that the loop is going to get vetoed by neighbourhoods and commersialists in the area, so that goes out of the running as a potential site as well.

I really dont see the problem moving 4miles? Even up to 8miles or so? How does that move out of a city's boundaries? Maybe I'm speaking from the experience I've had living in South Africa, but living 10km from a stadium isnt bad at all. We dont have trains/buses that are safe to take, but that distance isnt much at all to drive. When I was in Liverpool I walked from the bottom of Wapping street to Goodison Park, which took quite long, but to go watch the club that I love play a game, its not far at all (I didnt actually see a game, I wanted to go on a sold out stadium tour ).

I have no idea how far Kirkby actually is from the Everton side of Liverpool, but saying that a place that is just 4miles from another passes a cities boundaries just sounds absurd. The future youth will be either supporting the redshites 1 mile away or so or Everton 4 miles away. The difference in length of a walk or drive or ride of a distance like that really cant be damaging at all.

I might have the 4mile figure wrong, but thats what I read in one of the previous posts and its definitley not worthy of saying that is out of a city.

If Kirkbys not in Liverpool, then Wembleys not in London

 

[Blue Wiz]

If we move to the Kirkby location I think the stadium would only be a few hundred feet outside the LCC restriction area.

 

[Namdrater]

How far from Goodison Park approximately?

 

[Blue Wiz]

4 miles I think.. not sure though.

 

[McBain]

4 MILES???!!!!

All you lazy sods who would deny yourselves (and the rest of us) a bigger modern stadium for the sake of a 5 minute car ride?

Are you sure your fighting for the old skool way of the sake of modern hyper convenience?

Let it go. Liverpool are called Liverpool and we arent. We can be much bigger.

 

[Rob]

you see, this is the kind of blind ignorant stupidness we are fighting, KEIOC kirkby is in [Poor language removed] liverpool, just cos a council boundry doesn't say so don't mean anything.

If the vote is no, I guaranteee NO other location will become available and GP will not be renovated.

Stop living in loopy dreamy cuckoo land and vote yes, for the good of our club.

If we vote no, it will be the biggest step backwards this club will have ever taken.

scaremongering at it's best old boy.





'Kirkby is a new town in the Metropolitan Borough of Knowsley, Merseyside, England.'

so whatever your view point let's just stop saying this place is in liverpool.
