Spot on Horny. Moving to a site that allows for expansion shows ambition and a desire to move forward.

7. Attendances: We will fill our stadium if we stay central. We will retain 100% of the indigenous fanbase we currently have and attract a new crowd that feel happy with visiting a ground that is more fan- friendly (the stadium effect). No risk of pockets of empty seats. Moving to Kirkby however, is likely to be a large embarrassment because on telly our national and international image will be one of a club that cannot draw a decent gate. Yep, we'll fill our stadium at the Loop. All 30,000 seats

Goodison is falling down! A new stadium cannot be built there because of cost and the footprint required. The Loop is a non starter. A stadium the size we require will not fit. Again how is it going to be paid for? The NO party seem to think that the club has not looked at alternatives. I am totally convinced they have and nothing suitable has come up. The only viable offer on the table is Kirkby. The others are just vague ideas with no substance. Goodison is a great place with great memories but it is now an embarrassment, and I would like to be able to see 100% of the pitch without straining my neck. We deserve a decent stadium. Kirkby is the way to get one at a cost that we can bear. Let's not be confused: if its a no to Kirkby that opportunity will be gone. Voting no will mean that we are back to square one with no feasible way forward. RS are excited about their new stadium but it has to be paid for. It is not paid for out of the owners pockets. The RS will be mortgaged up to the hilt and if they have a couple of bad seasons their financial situation will look precarious. We have the opportunity to get a new stadium and minimise the risk to Everton. Other vague possibilities in the City or a rebuild at Goodison are not financially prudent, and if the money could be found would put us in a similar risky situation. People talk about getting investment on board by selling the club to anyone who waves a wad of money. Do you want a foreign investor like Tom Hicks? Ask the workers in South Tyneside who were laid off when one of his firms went bust. They lost their jobs and he comes back to UK a few years later and buys RS FC. He is just as likely to cut and run when things go bad there. I support the way EFC has progressed in the last few years, by good management, both financial and on the playing side. I have every confidence in them! A new stadium is on offer at a great price. It is feasible. Vote YES. From a proud Evertonian.
