Stadium talks
Comments (21)
Finally, the day has come when Everton sit down with Liverpool City Council to discuss future stadium plans. Hopefully something positive comes from the meeting but I doubt it. If Bill decides to turn up, he could possibly negotiate a brand new exclusivity agreement. I hope he proves me wrong....

Don’t hold your breath. Probably Warren Bradley talking more spewl about sharing with Liverpool whilst at the same time, Liverpool have no interest in sharing with us.
Does anyone know if the outcome of these meeting will make it to print of any kind?

"I have no faith that Everton will give us even a half decent stadium there."
Derek, it depends on corporate investment because we simply have not got the money to build a stadium on our own. If Kenwright had the money to build a super stadium, he would... but that is not reality.
Even if the council were to give us a reduction on the land value or even a free site, we’d need a corporate partner to help us fund it.
Saying EFC "will give us a half decent stadium whatever the site" is very immature mate, face facts.

Gavin Harris - a good stadium is initially about thought not money. Kirkby showed that Everton are not prepared to put any thought into a stadium. They simply couldn’t care less what stadium they give us.
Gavin, Derek’s right, we have just had an example of his point, Kirkby.
The club and LCC have made a joint statement saying that talks were positive and they will be holding more in the near future.
At least they bothered to tell us how things went.

Gavin Harris, Kenwrong was offered the money to build a super stadium at the King’s Dock but it would meant giving up the train set, we all know what happened next.....
Anyone know if KEIOC were invited? There hasn’t been an update on their website since before Chrimble.
Gavin Harris,
Kenwright is incapable of building a super stadium even if he had the funds.
He is happy just to turn up to watch the games as "Chairman" and not give any thought as to planning for the future.
If Tesco Terry hadnt come along we wouldnt have wasted the last three years and 4 million on DK but BK still wouldnt have had a plan B.

Gavin, EFC didn't have the funds for KD... that’s the whole point. Your anti-Chairman comments just make you look an idiot, which the longer I look at your post the more I feel you are! Sorry but time to move on and leave it. COYB
Alan Williams, nice comeback... so where’s your proof Everton didn’t have funding? Paul Gregg proposed a reverse mortgage which the board rejected as it would have meant BK surrendering control. It was all discussed at the time... take your head out of the sand, your rose tinted spectacles off and turn away from the "BK can do no wrong" shrine.

You’re right Alan, ultimately, we didn’t have the funds for KD.
How odd then that you appear to put so much (or ANY!) faith in the man who PROMISED us we did.
Also, can I point out that it is now widely accepted that the expression ’’It’s time to move on" (often used by bent politicians and footballers who have just left your club for another paying twice as much) is these days seen for what it is.
IE: Another way of saying "I don’t like how my position in this debate is going. Time to get out of it by using a bullshit, modern twat-speak, smokescreen of an expression that means absolutely nothing and makes NO sense"
Seriously - what time is time to ’move on’?
10.34am?
8.12pm?
Thursday?
Or (and here’s my best guess) when YOU say?
If you don’t want to debate something YOU fucking move on, but don’t be telling others when, where and what should be debated.
Poltroon!

Seeing how poor both clubs are, it’ll be a shared stadium.
City Council build a stadium for the Reds, and Everton gets to lease it every match.

I heard a rumour last week.
A good one!
When I say good, I mean an honest to goodness, old-fashioned, 99.9% untrue rumour of the type we all hear from time-to-time.
I didn’t bother posting it because....well it’s bollocks.
But, you know what - fuck it.
If it’s bollocks, well...it’s bollocks.
Erm...actually I can’t remember any detail, just a bit about us being ’offered’ the bit of the dock facing the Atlantic alehouse on the dock road.
I actually got quite excited when I heard it.
NOT I should hasten to add because we would be ’On the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey’, but because it would probably mean knocking down the Atlantic.
And why would that be good?
Because it would be one less venue for (former National Front voter) Ricky Tomlinson - and ALL Liverpool’s ’Ricky’s’ - in which to perform their brand of vile banjo-backed, revisionist ’Scouse’ acts.
(eg: Mary Ellens, Ma this and that, Mother Kelly’s doorstep, "Remember bed bugs? Great days!...WEH-ELL!!" etc).
They should leave the Iron Horse bit though!

Eugene, Gavin Ram, keep your cool and move on, it’s football?
Robert - I don’t have ’a cool’ and I only ’move on’ when I decide to.
One thing I was was curious about though.
You finish with ’it’s football?’
Question - Are you Australian and writing the way Aussies speak (ie: in that way that makes non-questions sound like questions because the talker’s voice kind of goES UP AT THE END?
Or...was that question mark supposed to be a full stop?

Ha, Ha. I’m so scared with your comments maybe I should hide away and not reply. I guess why this thread has not taken on is because of your aggressive attitude towards others and your constant wining about the Chairman. I’m not trying to defend him I’m asking for you to move on and look ahead and not back. EFC is now talking with LCC lets see what’s ahead before passing comment. The reason why I haven’t been back is because this site TW is becoming so predictable and people like you two just epitomise what is wrong with message boards, some of us have a life in work and out seems you two don’t so enjoy TW and the adults sites, make sure you both have enough tissues! COYB
But Alan....um...you HAVE been back.
Look there you are just above us, saying "I’m scared with your comments" (eh?)
That’s you - being back! (wave to you!)
So reading on, you have a ’life in work and out’ do you?
Hmmm-yesss....I’m picturing something to do with the Secret Service perhaps?
An Aston Martin?
Girls?
00...something?
Can’t say anything?
I understand (taps nose) ’mum’s the word!
’Loose lips, sink ships’ eh?
As for me - you’re SPOT on!
No job, no money, no car, no girlfriend, no...LIFE!

Eugene, I’m from Liverpool (The Dingle)... IF YOU DON’T LIKE THE WAY THINGS ARE, DONT GO! And where are you from, by the way???
Robert, these are for you - it it it it it it.
(you seem to excel in not getting it - here are a load more for you not to get)

The other day I had this weird idea but every blue I mention it to seems to see how this would wind the Kopites up more than us.
It's simple: when Liverpool leave Anfield, we buy it back, paint it blue, call it Goodison, rename all the stands a la GP – bargain! Little investment required probably more revenue. Then when they fail to complete their new stadium coz of a lack of funds they can pay us rent to play back at their old ground!
Weirdly, the fact we used to play at Anfield would make it tougher for them than us. I can’t wait to see your responses... Please note, I don’t think this is a good idea — but would love to hear your responses. FOYR
