Cant post on the Newcastle site, says I Can't log in, just wanted to wish Jonas Guttierez a fast recovery, best of luck to him

Well said mate. let's hope he has the same success as our stubsy and makes a full recovery.

This board can't do anything right in some poeples eyes. Everyone in the world and with half a sense of nouse knows Goodison is not feasible to house a Premier league football club and no amount of wishful thinking is it possible to redevelope. The delay we would face in purchasing the property around her would be 2 or 3 years at least and that's hoping no one objects. Look at what has just happened to spurs.

Its took years for Liverpool to get the go ahead to purchase the houses around anfield and are still having issues with the rest of the area around there.

As for failed attempts due to finance. This only relates to the kings dock as Kirby was nothing to do with finance.

Too far, not big enough, too big, more this, less that, I want to see the money, no investors. Well you know what, dave from scotty road or bob from old swan don't know squat about building a stadium. So all this I want to know this and that. what's it to you.

This is the earliest of stages we are at which is site location and for me they couldn't have got it any better. Embrace the fact we are moving forward and get some optimism.

The club is unrecognisable from the one in the nineties and this chairman and board have done an incredible job. Show a bit of faith and pull together and you never know we might just get what we dream of or at least some of us not stuck in the past!

Hand grenade thrown.

Fair play! We'll said mate

Hand grenade well and truly thrown BJ. We all know the old lady is showing her age and is not going to last much longer, but imo mate I want something substantial to cling to than just a report in a paper and a couple of quotes.

Great post couldn't put it better, the old lady is tired its time to let her retire into the past, she will always be in our hearts and soul, but time moves on, so get behind the project we have had enough of standing still, am 45 I would like to see it before am 50

Hey guys, just wondering, what do you think about us selling only around 27,000 tickets for our first game returning to Europe? I think that's low but understand that the prices are relatively high as well.

This new stadium reporting just doesn't wash with me.Firstly we haven't even been given permission for the right to develop, plus we need serious investors to fund any new development seeing as it looks like we have neither I wish we never said anything at all until everything was in place for us to actually announce something concrete. Do we want to end up once again with egg on our faces ie. Kings dock, Kirkby.

The fact we are working with LCC and that Walton hall has been identified means we have as good as had a wink saying permission will be given, it's a case of putting in plans that all agree on now. If you read report, investors are already starting to come, LMH, we as part of development will build housing, this housing will be pre bought by LMH, this will help in paying for the building of the houses, and the profit on them houses will be used to pay the company hired to build the whole development. We will take loans based on the sale of our old ground as well, this is already a good start and we still to draw up plans, once they are drawn up and retail spaces and all associated with the build are on show this will also be used to generate more investors. One step at a time jimmy, to me it all looking very positive at this moment in time.

Jimmy c,
can you not embrace the fact we might just might have something.

Why do people have to find fault with everything we do, would you rather us not have announced anything? this is exciting for 99% of us blues, the other 1% will always have something negative to say, well to that I say get behind the club supporting it in the right way and stop moaning. coyb!

If we build this new stadium were is our money coming from for the nxt 15 years to buy new players while we pay 200 million back in loans.
Without iinstant investment I fear this will be a bad move

This why shaky people like you, me, Jimmy C and anyone else who doesn't run companies or build stadiums try to understand the finances or judge whether this is good or bad for the club.

Instead jump on the bandwagon of progress and simply buy into the fact we are showing ambition that we only ever saw from other clubs who aspire to be better than what they are.

Get some balls, grab a pogo stick and start bouncing!

Steblue69 "might have something" is not the same as defo having something.Until we do have something defo then I will gladly embrace it with great delight.Mate we have heard it all before and been kicked in the town halls, that's all I am saying. And to bluejohnuns I had the balls to voice my opinion in the first place.If you want to wet yourself silly over a few comments and a paper article that's your opinion too. don't try and shout down other peoples opinions after all it is a banter page.

Why on earth should any of us get excited over somethin that has dragged on an been talked about for 10-15 years its stupid

There's balls for voicing an opinion and then there is moaning for the sake of moaning.

This is the very first stage of a long process and already you start questioning the move.

All I'm saying is get a brighter outlook on life and at this early stage were questions are not needed get with the feel good story.

Come on misery guts!

The money for paying the stadium off will come from the extra revenue it gains, circa 20-30 mill per annum. The money spent on players each season will come from prem placing and the recent tv money. The players wages will be covered by ordinary match day revenue. The lure to play for efc will come from bobby. This will mean our squad gets better, our stadium gets bigger, we compete with the top 4 in revenue and playing ability, the club qualifies for champions league (more revenue) and we get better sponsorship deals (more revenue). All in all a good deal for efc to move forward. Roberto had a dream.

Depending on how much the stadium will cost. I would like one the same as bayern. Munich.

I live near Milton Keynes and there ground is good example of modern stadia. It has lots of parking around it, retail stores and the usual Maccy D, KFC etc. You just couldn't do this around Goodison. However, like a lot of modern grounds it lacks atmosphere. So hopefully our new ground (whenever it comes), will look brilliant from the outside but have more atmosphere, and I think to do this they should introduce standing areas behind the goals. I'm in my 50's now and still miss the atmosphere generated by a swaying rocking crowd. It has been shown in Europe that this is possible to do with modern grounds, and let's face it most people stand up still anyway. Time for a cuppa!

So we and LCC want to regenerate North Liverpool around Walton Park. What's wrong with regeneratring around Goodison. The council have a history of stopping us doing things with Goodison. Why?
With regard to redeveloping Goodison and the time to do so, does any one remember the when the main stand was built, demolition of the old stand started on the 2nd of April. The new stand was part opened for the 1st game of the seasons. We could do the same with Bullens Road, if the council give us as much as help as across the the park with compulsory purchase orders.

We need somewhere that can easily accommodate a 50'000 seater and still be able to be expanded on should the need arise the area around goodison definitely doesn't lend itself to that. The fact that we are out growing the old lady should be seen as a positive thing she won't be forgotten :)

17 Sep 2014 09:49:50
the problem with re developing goodison is that bullens road is a listed building, you will see when it comes to selling the old site it will be turned into a shopping centre/ retail park similar to cheshire oaks or edge lane.

16 Sep 2014 07:53:52
Shock horror kenwright announces he's wants to move to Walton hall. Sorry boys but there's no new investor and were still in the very early stages of negotiations. What u reckon eds?

Just a thought how many of us would give up our jobs if someone else came along who (maybe) could do it better say what you want about Bill we have grown as a club under his chairmanship.

16 Sep 2014 15:43:59
Oh dear it looks like I've upset the red Mancs with an innocuous comment on their banter page. They've bitten big time once again, much like our neighbours across the park. What is it with these deluded fans who think that because they finally won a game at the weekend, they're destined to become Champions again this season? You couldn't make it up!

Sorry Daveyboy but they are right having won their 1st game they have every right to cliam they will be champions this season after all the are the best team in the universe. As for our close neighbours they will run the Mancs close afterall the are the best team in the universe. Must be something about the colour red!

Stadium rumours surfacing again, this only usually happens when there is AGM due.
I will only believe it once the diggers are on site.

16 Sep 2014 07:55:05
Huge news!
Club confirm stadium rumours

RE. New Everton stadium

http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/everton-plan-build-new-stadium-7776712

Hopefully this will help, but for those who don't have the patience to read it all then a brief summary:

Walton hall park is the area
Council will put little money in
Bill likes the area and has confirmed interest
This looks like the most positive piece of new in regards to stadium in recent times
Likely to take many years until we can move in.

16 Sep 2014 02:08:30
New ground, hot air and wishfull thinking, PLEASE, tell us where the money is comeing from, without an answer to that question, we are being strung along, yet again!
