Mersey Stadium Woes
Comments (8)
Our friends across the park have now basically admitted that they cannot fund their new stadium (nor indeed it appears get a new owner anymore). Kirkby rumbles on, not IMHO the disaster many on here predict, but hardly nirvana.
Both clubs obviously need new grounds. We are now faced with likely scenarios of either both inadequately tarting up what they already have, or both looking under their respective sofas to fund two separate sub-optimal and sub-standard grounds.
This is now transparently absurd. There is only one solution. Two clubs, one city, one world-class ground. Who now has the leadership qualities to make this happen?

Could not agree more. Every Liverpool and Everton fan who opposes a ground share is a bone headed philistine. There is NO genuine reason for not sharing a ground if it enables our club to progress.
Just a quick question... maybe I?ve missed this or maybe someone has already discussed it before... but, if Kirkby does fall through and Liverpool?s plans fall through as well, can we apply to build our new stadium on Stanley Park?
The RS will never, ever, do anything which they believe will be of benefit to us. If they ever show favour to a shared stadium plan, it could only be because it saved them from a catastrophe such as bankruptcy.
Fingers crossed ? they might start making overtures any day now.
Surely with the financial problems Liverpool FC appear to be facing, this is the ideal moment to revisit the possiblity of a JOINT new mega Stadium in Stanley Park. It has been said that such a venture would attract European funding...
An 80,000 or 90,000 seater could be filled with youngsters given cheap seats, and it would ensure a future of committed young fans. It is the only realistic prospect for a bright future for both clubs.
Come on Bill, be adventurous.
The joint stadium, on Stanley Park seems the best possible solution, especially in this day and age. Given their financial state we will have a better position to bargin from, than say 2-3 yrs ago. It was thought by some that we would be the minor partner, begging to be let in, not any more. It might be that they can’t do it without us, heh heh heh.
Put in al the mod cons, do it once do it right, retractable pitch, enough Corp. boxes to bankrupt a billionaire, LED’s in the seats etc Blue one week, red the next, maybe a roof, etc etc
Wanted: Men of Vision, apply Stanley Park.
Make it so.
Aye Aye Captain.
Full ahead, warp factor 10.
Derek - In their current financial plight they CANNOT do it without us, no question. Maybe the very rich Arab will come along for them, but until then, they are going absolutely nowhere.
Why should we help them? Make no mistake, Liverpool have never done anything to help Everton and have been trying to weaken us for years whereas our great club have always been gentlemanly in their conduct towards them. Maybe Everton have now turned a corner and can now look at them, not as our ?friendly neighbours? but as a bitter rival who?ll try anything to get the upper hand on us. ?That eeez a fact"
I say we leave the ground debate for a season and try to gate crash the top 4 ? you never know, they could be the team we overtake as they are the ones who are in the shit financially of all the top 4 clubs as Arsenal have Russian money coming into the club, Chelski are back to their old selves and Man U look unstoppable as Ferguson has built another great team.
I would be in favour for footballing reasons, and for financial reasons. However, I just know that it would backfire on us in years to come. It would be known as Liverpool FC’s stadium, with their poor cousins as tenants. It would be full for their games, and half empty for ours. It would take away the last ebbs of our pride and independence.
So no thanks.
