Everton thread 2020/21

Do you think 52k lacks a little ambition? Think it looks mint but don’t you reckon they could have gone to 60k?

Yeah, it doesn’t look easily ‘expandable’ either.

Probably same as COMS with scope for extension worked in.

Neither did ours at a glance.

Seems overly cautious to me, given the inherent cost and disruption contained within expanding a stadium.

This modern and unhealthy obsession with filling a stadium every week, caused principally by social media, is a blight on the game caused by people with micro-penises who rarely go to games themselves. Sad cunts.

It's surely better to have a 60k stadium that's 80% full half the time and 100% full the rest, than a 52k stadium that's full every week.

It's akin to not building an extension on a restaurant that's full every weekend because you're worried that it will be half empty on a Monday and Tuesday night.

Oh I agree, I've always said if you're selling out every game you need a bigger stadium.
I'm sure Everton have done the numbers though.

I'm sure they have, but doesn't mean I have to agree with their reasoning!

Restaurants near me are empty every day of the week.

Wanted us to win at goodison 2014? Horse shit. I wax there. They went berserk when Barkley scored and were desperate to equalise . Don’t rewrite history to suit today’s narrative

Sack, back and crack?

 

[shackattack]

I would think the capacity is based on current attendances plus a little extra for away fans and new stadium let's visit factor. Personally I think we should have upgraded Goodison when we did the Park End. That option has now gone and pretty soon Goodison will struggle to pass safety standards. It will probably overspend as most new stadiums do so long way still to go.
Maybe when it eventually opens our neighbours can provide a fitting firework display, no doubt they will organise a petition of some kind to ensure it never happens.

Goodison Park can't be expanded cos it's smack bang in the middle of a residential area. If Bramley Moore means not having to sit in a shed, which the Lower Bullens basically is, that's a plus. I will miss Goodison though. It's a shithole, but it's OUR shithole.
