Why has it never happened? Lower league clubs are building new stadia, Everton aren't. The infrastructure around the ground is also terrible.

Kenwright hasn't a pot to piss in mate we've had 3 failed ground moves under his tenure. Moshiri's arrival seems to be the catalyst for a new ground I would say in the next 1-3 months a new stadium will be announced (fingers crossed).
Bramley Moore Docks would be a game changer for us, I've said since Moshiri arrived I wouldn't be shocked to see Usmanov sell up at Arsenal and join up with his partner if the stadium gets the green light. His USM company sponsering our training ground was just the start imo.

Honestly think you could fill a 50k stadium no problem. Only thing is a few local businesses (chippies, pubs) do well out of Goodison, it would be a shame for them.

Tin hat on but you should have had a 65k ground share with your red pals

Agree with that mate.
Was same in Sheffield after the 1991 WSG. Was called deluded for even suggesting that the Urinals and Stupid Name share.

Would rather gouge my eyes out than share a ground with them beauts.
Will actually be funny as the whole shared ground talk the Kopites (rightly tbf) were giving it the big un about a new shiny ground of there own. Fast forward and it looks like we will be the ones moving to a big ground in the city centre whilst they are stuck in the run down backwaters of Anfield. Big Stand FC
I actually think we will do something with Goodison to leave a legacy for the community around the ground. We as a club are very good with the community and ETIC do alot of positive work in the area.
Compare that to the red lot who turfed their residents out/turned the local area into an even bigger crap hole for their own financial gain. One of the many differences between us and them.

At £38 quid a pop. That's where football has got it wrong. We got bait (fish and chips) a couple of pints for less than 10 quid out side the ground. Inside it was 7 quid for a pint and a pie.
I've seen the stories about houses been left to rot around Annfield to force folk out. Hopefully you get the ground you deserve and Walton doesn't suffer.

We were in row E yesterday and from my seat I had a pillar directly through the far end goal. Wasnt really an issue though as stood up and moved back slightly and I could see the goal fine.
Its a great old stadium and we will all miss it when its gone. Very few proper old school grounds left now.
When did the Melrose Abbey shut down mate? We stayed in Bootle last night and walked up to the ground from there pre match and were planning a pint in there. Ended up in the Peacock instead which was OK. Got the train from Kirkdale into Liverpool after the game then the last train back to Bootle Oriel Road.
That new stand at Anfield dominates the whole area and can be seen for miles around.

It would be nice if the reserves still played at Goodison after the move. And with it being the last big old school stadium, if it was also turned into some sort of museum. If only for a few years to keep going a bit longer. I wish we'd done it with Roker Park

Yeah I think that would be the preferred option of all supporters but not sure how likely or feasible it would be. The club have been actively trying to lay roots in the area recently, there's a new community hub and a free school (although divisive) plus they are trying to help shelter homeless. I hope it continues when we leave as it is an area that will always be intrinsically linked to EFC.

shit thing is the club insist on putting those with the highest loyalty points at the back of the lower tier.

We will easily sell 50k a game at least . the club are keeping prices reasonable for that reason .
Every club who has moved to a new and bigger stadium some doubling there attendances . So why wouldn't we in your opinion ?
They'll sell out
it would be great if we give the land to help the community because selling it won't raise that much as Walton is a shithole and the land is worth buttons
walton is already on its arse and once we move the place will pretty much die . It was a great place growing up in the 80's and 90's now it's one of the worst parts of the city . A shame really.

Just had a look and can only see them myself. Looks like only a few blocks with any seats available too and we've already sold out the 1,200 tickets that Hull have returned as we did with all the other clubs who only requested 1,800 tickets.
We're selling Goodison out easily and will comfortably sell 50,000 plus at a new stadium. Given how popular ground moves have been for other similar sized fanbases, it wouldn't be too surprising to see us get 55,000 either. 60,000 is unrealistic at this stage but who would have thought West Ham could get 56,000?
