One, we don't sell out most of our games, and two, the average ticket price is nowhere near £37. Kids get in for a tenner, season ticket holders pay an average of about £25 a game.
We'd also never fill a 60,000 seater stadium.

Yes, but tv money goes to everyone.
It's the money from matchdays, sponsorship, merchandise etc that separates the men from the boys.
And all of those things are intrinsically linked to the success of the club on the pitch. As i said, getting a new stadium in isolation will change nothing in the long run. The club would put itself in debt to build it and would be financially no better off in the short term.

True, but the ones in charge at GP get that figure without trying.
Think what we could do with business professionals in charge and they aim high.
Well yeah, that's what i meant with my original comment.
A new stadium won't make us a top 4 team or make us win trophies, that will come as a result of investment into the squad.

Surely a new stadium would attract people though? Snazzy new stadium, no wooden seats, no big pillars in the way

Not enough to make a financial impact in the short to medium term.
A new stadium would cost at least £100m, even if the club only had to pay a third of that it would take years before they even recouped the money invested.
No it wont and short term it would leave us very short of cash and as you say, we wouldnt get 60k every week, as it stands we would be lucky to get that even for the Derby, but the stadium is an issue IMO.
I think the argument is that if a dodgy foreign dictator wants a huge european club to send off into the Cl then that ain't going to happen with our stadium. They'd have to build a new one as well as buying Messi and Lahm.
But I'm far from convinced that's the kind of owner on the table.
The average good owner, who just wants to pump a bit of money in rather than roman ammounts isn't going to be turned off by Goodison, at all.

I think we'd see a 50k stadium with much better corporate facilities (something goodison lacks compared to the competition for europe, with the potential to expand another 5-10k. Not that this would happen under BK of course, we'd need investment to get to the point where it could even be considered

Terry Leahy is a good egg. Commercial expertise and if he can leverage burnham too, get this fat headed twerp on his way to Majorca to retire we'll all be happy.
I no we are everton and were not like other supporters but really now this cannot carry on would any other team and I mean any other put up with there owner of there football team treating there fans like he is. we're are EVERTON FC and are playing in the premiere league and had a chance of wembley (again) and top four There is just no ambition does bill kenwright think that showing off mcgeady before the game makes everthing ok? it s total disrespect to all everton fans we get out spent by most if not all in the premier league yet we sell players it's just lie after lie from this man and now it's rubbing off on the manager.
And the rest of the players sold the man (bill Keny) is good isn't heWheres the Arteta money bill?
