If we do end up being shunted out to Kirkby, the only saving grace would be a stadium with serious 'wow factor'.
The pictures of Cologne's stadium, if indeed this is what we can expect, do not fill me with hope. In one simple word: Boring! What an unimaginative, undistinguished piece of bland architecture! From the outside it looks unfinished with all those exposed girders. On the inside, all 4 sides look the same. If we are not having a bowl, then we should be clearly able to distinguish a 'main stand' structure - clearly taller than the other 3 sides - a 'Home' end and an 'Away' end. The tiers should overhang the lower tiers for maximum sound and atmosphere, the roof should not look like it's just floating in mid-air.
Fuck me! If that's all we have to look forward to - another soul-less, characterless Riverside, Pride Park, St Mary's, Britannia with 4 meccano towers and no walls on the outside - we're gonna wish we had stayed at Goodison!
Kenwright and Wyness: Have you really no idea what makes a Stadium great? Get the fans to explain to you before it's too late! I have generally trusted you so far, but if this really is the design you're working on then I'm afraid I think you are both clueless and out of your depth!
Maybe it's time you told us what you are planning - in detail. Like I say, before we end up with one giant mistake. This wouldn't be acceptable on Goodison Road, never mind in Kirkby!

I don’t want to move from GP, but we’ve got to look forward to, not only how Evertonians perceive the club - but to outsiders - potential players/ investors as well.
