Another Ground Move Factor
Comments (15)
We've had all the debates about location, transport, how much it will really cost, and stadium design, but one aspect of the ground move, or even staying where we are, has not been aired. The feng shui aspect.
This Chinese belief concerns the orientation of buildings in their environment, and the dispostion of spaces and functions within buildings. Getting them right or wrong materially affects prosperity and success. Will the Kirkby proposal be better for EFC than the existing forces at work at Goodison, or would changing the orientation of the pitch at a redeveloped GP improve our home form?
And after you've stopped laughing hysterically, shaking your head in pity or banging it against the wall, this post is only partly an attempt to lighten us up a bit over Christmas...

We need to employ the services of a Feng Shuist, get one from Chinatown, make sure the pitch lies the right way... and then send him to Stanley Park and make sure the House of Darkness points the wrong way! *LOL*
Maybe we should have three nets at the end of the ground we’re kicking into and one at the other, this would be the obvious solution to any Feng Shui issues.
If the shui fits - wear it!
I honestly believe it?s the colour of the nets! Change them back to white and i bet we start scoring like there?s no tomorrow, it has to work.

Oh My... Just think of our results if our players drank Green Tea prior to kick-off and at half-time?!!!! If they drank it every day then we could hope for the Premier League Title! :)
Hahaha. Great letter for Christmas cheer. Good on you for it, and for Micheal for publishing. Made me laugh out loud!
A really good visitor to Goodison was Pak Do Ik - North Korea, 1966. He passed the ball through the Portuguese midfield with authority, and I reckon we should have signed him along with Bally for the next season - work permit permitting (and possibly the North Korean military machine).
Not Chinese I know, but I’m sure that his knowledge of feng shui is better than your average TW’s poster, so he might be persuaded to make a sentimental journey to check the place out.
I sense evil spirits coming from the board room.
No feng shui master myself but we probably fcuked up whatever luck we had by leaving something important at Anfield. Just a thought.
That?s it! ... Turn Tim Howard?s goal around 180% so he?s always facing the crowd, the opposition would never score! Although didn?t this fail a couple of years ago for "Richy Wrong" when we played at Stamford Bridge?
Actually any development which Tesco have a say in is automatically Feng Shui’d as part of the design brief so it’s pretty certain that the new ground will also have been done. Can’t believe these corporates believe in all this mumbo jumbo but they do use the services of Wong Wei, a famous FS ninja.
The nets? The nets! We need to get rid of these fancy square suspended nets and get back to the old school hanging off of a P shaped post drift net. The type that takes about an hour for the keeper to untangle and retrive the ball from. Worked in the 80’s.
New Le Coq kit + old school nets = let the good times roll again!
I can’t believe all this scepticism about feng shui. As an example, one of the very best five star places for siting a building is on a hill overlooking water. Now, living in Australia for the last 27 years my memory might be failing me, but isn’t there at least one of the Liverpool cathedrals on a hill overlooking the Mersey? There, that’s the solution! Knock it down (knock both of them down) and build the new Goodison there. Brilliant. How come nobody thought of this elegant and geomantically auspicious idea before? Happy Christmas, and may the elves be with you.
You’re right Neil - and you’d get to the match by way of Hope Street!
We have a local Chinese restaurant run by Feng Shui experts Fu King The Chef and Wan King his Brother. On a visit some time back I told him about my continual bad luck, after a quick sess of Wan King guidance, and putting the bed on top of the wardrobe facing south east, I couldn’t believe only 8 months later I won a £10.00 on the lotto. Now call it bollocks
Kevin Jones:Hillarious mate haha
Also, dont change the nets, just put Chinas best keeper Hu Flung Dung in goal.The opposition will be so freaked out by the smell, the wont dare to enter our half of the pitch.
