Stop Whinging

Why are people so afraid of moving Everton out of the City? I am sick of hearing people whinging about moving 6 miles up the road. Can't we ask Liverpool Council to move the boundaries a bit if it bothers people that much? After all Liverpool used to be in the county of Lancashire until Merseyside was created. I would go and watch Everton if they relocated to fuckin? Spain?

Why does this matter so much to people? This development is going to create around 2000 jobs in an area that needs them. Red tape is all this is and it is doing this situation no good whatsoever. Get moved and get this new ground, as alas is looks like Goodison cannot be re-developed...

Stop whinging; stop the debates, stop the KEIOC nonsense and GET THE PLACE BUILT ffs. There were 3 grounds in the Premiership last season that were older or worse than Goodison; Watford, Fulham and Sheff Utd - I suppose you could argue The Valley is bad to, but at least 3 of the sides of that ground are new(ish). Oh and note that 3 or the 4 teams mentioned above were relegated.

The 3 teams joining us in the top flight next season have newer stadiums than ours, therefore OURS WILL BE THE WORST (admittedly most are smaller than Goodison, but that isn?t my point), apart from Craven Cottage. Shite that is. If people want our club to progress - not just the team - we need to move and we need to do it now.

Lets back the club and lets get behind Bill finding us a new home. We need to generate extra income not sit on our morals; 1 trophy in 20 years tells me that... The posting on the Knowsley web site looks promising; I for one can't wait to see the back of restricted views and shite facilities / conditions. In 1966 Goodison held a World Cup semi-final ? lets return to the glory days and have the very best once again.

Goodison has been good to us all, but all good things come to an end.

COYB...

Kirkby's going to create 2,000 jobs you say???? Not very Wyness-like is it to take on such numbers considering his belief in outsourcing practically everything!

I too would go anywhere to see Everton but I understand where people are coming from. Have you ever been to Kirkby? I spent a lot of my childhood driving from Toxteth to Kirkby and to be honest with you it needs to be redeveloped. The next thing is pride. We are a Liverpool club not a Knowsley club. And while people from Kirkby are scousers the area they live in is past city boundaries. If we moved out then Liverpool fans would not stop the mickey taking and that is very personal to some people. People have their reasons.
