The Mail Bag

New Ground?

I have some possible information about the new stadium move debate. I will have to remain anonymous as I don't want to get the sack. I work for a big surveyors firm in the smoke whose name I will not say but those who are willing to dig a little deeper will find out which firm it is.

The firm have benn involved in all kinds of projects in the sporting world involved in projects like Benfica's Stadium, Sunderland's Stadium of Light, Wolves, Leeds, Wembley, Middlesbrough, Olympic Stadium Berlin, Excel Centre, The Oval etc etc the list is quite long. I am sat next to a photocopier and along pops a document about consultancy for The Shay Stadium East Stand and on a list below there are projects for the clients perusal of a similar nature and, lo and behold, our beloved EFC pops up on this list! The only problem I have is determining whether the latter project is a past or present project. I will have to dig a bit deeper to try to find out more solid facts.

The projects the firm were/are involved in with EFC:

Financial, design and cost appraisal of the Kings Dock Arena Scheme.
Site assessment and feasability study for the construction of a new 65,000 seat edge-of-city stadium.

I know how important this subject is to many Evertonians, myself included. So I will try to find out as much info as possible. Knowing how well regarded the firm's Sports Projects Department are within the sporting world, I would hedge a considerable bet that we'll have something to do with any possible ground move. So I'll keep everyone on TW informed. Viva la revolution! COYB!

That’s a huge phallacy you’ve got there. I know for a fact that the new stadium will be built on the site of the old Unigate dairy and will be serviced by men on milk floats selling ChangTescoEverton merchandise. Scarves and bobble hats are already in production in the ’knitters paradise’ sweat shops of Kirkby and special plastic rattles will be available for throwing out of prams.

The future’s bright - the future’s a milk float!

I’m Ivor’s smaller brother and I don’t think he’s a bullshitter! I don’t live in the smoke but I was down there on Monday...what a shithole! Glad to get back to civilisation on the good old Virgin Pendolino. All big deals go through the shithole though so keep us informed Ivor or I’ll tell our dad!
