The Mail Bag

God is On the Side With the Best Artillery

Unimaginative, generic, boring and uninspiring. This is to be Everton's new home. Forget asking questions regarding stand names and stadium accoustics, the point of any discussion relating to the acceptance of the inevitable ought to be focused on us apparently re-creating a replica of some inconsequental German team's largely and architecturally unscrutinised stadium.

I voted a resounding NO to Kirkby, based on the premise that our new home does not look special, coupled with the disingenuous "There is no Plan B," rhetoric. At its pomp, Goodison Park was a forbidding, raucous and intimidating arena. Remember how the enigmatic Jean-Marie Pfaff coyly waved to the then-massive Gwladys St End prior to the 2nd half of THAT game in'85?

Goodison led the way in stadium technology with it's revolutionary 3 tiers and while I accept that the cash for something truly magnificent may not be immediately forthcoming, a new ground, which I adamantly don't want anyway, should be a thing of aesthetic beauty, something that awes everyone who visits it. And one that reflects both august history and optimistic future aspiration. A statement.
