I know the Kirby-Debate is utterly tedious on Forums , but it just came home to me when reading that , that I may well be in my final 3 years of watching Everton . For those who don't know , I come from a family of long-time Season Ticket holders , have one myself , and am approaching 40 years of regularly going to the match . I'm 45 , so that's not bad .
Me point is , I choose not to set foot in Kirby . To me , its Franchise F.C. by any other name . The issue though , is , will they replace the likes of me , and others who feel the same , in the M56 corridor ??
I personally doubt it , and believe that the majority of ,
" New Fans " which we'll need to fill 55 thou , will be Rugby League fans who fancy a weekend off . I feel it's inherently wrong , that theyve lied and manipulated figures at every step of the way , and , in short , its gonna be a disaster for this club . Short termism of the worst sort , masquerading as vision .
Careful what you wish for .
Final point . Number of clubs to win a trophy following ground move ? Answer ; 1 .
Number of clubs relegated following ground move ?
Sunderland , Leicester , Bolton , Boro , Derby ,Soton , Reading
( City/Leicester/Derby / Soton /Sunderland /Bolton also nearly bankrupt their clubs in the process . )
Just my opinion .
