Whitley mag Posted January 30 Share Posted January 30 (edited) New stadium for me and nowt to do with PSR, though that’s clearly a bonus. The current stadium has seen its day, bolting on an extension whilst largely having to leave the East Stand in its current guise and two dated lop sided stands with poor views, would seem massively underwhelming and an opportunity of a lifetime for the city missed. I suspect they’ll make the new stadium option much more attractive to sway opinion, providing the finance is actually there to spend 2/3 billion on a new stadium, a half measure such as another tier on the Gallowgate smacks of hedging their bets and won’t be game changing if the ambition is really to challenge the elite.

Expand There’s nowt much they can do with the East Stand due to Leazers Terrace There’s a Metro line not far from the back of the Gallowgate that limits potential of that stand Where do we play whilst construction is happening Can we cope financially with a huge reduction in capacity & revenue whilst we build on the existing site, it’ll fuck us over even more on PSR (yawn) These are just some of the issues with gutting and modernising at SJP I just can’t see how it’s a an option, unless we’re only adding a few thousand seats Edited January 30 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to how we have the two towering stands now with the views across the city, to even another city. I’m not sure how you can achieve that uniqueness, mind. Also with any stadium I’d like the fans to basically be on top of the pitch. Apparently Everton’s new stadium is like that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
