It's kinda asking for it though. Because his statement is so light on facts he is relying an awful lot on emotion and with the history attached to Goodison I can't help but feel the emotion will be to stay there unless something top notch comes along. Is this top notch? Who can honestly say given the information released by Wyness? It sounds right now as though we don't really have any detailed plans for a ground. We have a site, we have involvement from Tesco and that sounds about it.
So it's 50-55,000 seats, which? Will there be room for expansion? How many of those are executive seats? What will be the seat pricing structure? Can fans buy a seat for x number of years? What will the stadium look like? Will elements of Goodison be incorporated into it? What other facilities will it have? Who will own the facility? Who will own the land? Will we gain any revenue from non-match day events? Who gets prominence in the development, us or Tesco? What's the situation with the naming rights?
I'm sure there are many more questions and information people would like to know but we know none of these things yet are expected to vote anyway. Surely the club knows all of this otherwise it wouldn't be pursuing the deal as the only option, why can't they let us know the details? I appreciate some of the financial/contractual details may have legal or corporate confidentiality attached but an awful lot won't.
