barryj got a reaction from StevO in Longest Thread! for Everton Discussion
The whole thing is ludicrous but this section of the commission’s report is madness.
I really can’t see how a unprecedented unpredictable war on the edge of Europe that’s had a worldwide financial effect can be ‘the type of event that businesses have to contend with as part of their daily life’ when the stadium is the second biggest building project currently in the UK (& let’s not mention the first as I think the government might agree!)

Personally I think Sunday would be better

But didn’t Leicester only get a £3.1m fine for a breach of FFP in 2018 for a £21m breach in 2013-14 by the EFL!

I’m now considering ditching my season tickets and buying a Bentley. It’ll probably be more reliable and give me more enjoyment 🤣

I have no problem with a rise in price as you should expect that as the Stadium will be way better. I’m not saying I want to pay the same as I do now forever. I already spend around £2500 a year going to the games and that will rise anyway as my son turns 18 next year. A lot depends on family circumstances as to how much I’d be prepared to spend. I would say I don’t think the club will have any problem selling out for the first 3 years of the new stadium due to novelty and supporters that havnt been able to get tickets in recent years. But I think if they raise the prices by £100-£150 a year for the next three years and the team are still only fighting to survive then I think we for the first time in ages won’t fill the ground. I’m not an economist and hopefully the cost of living drops. I worry that if 777 come in they’ll want the fans paying through the nose for everything.

But you’ve not owned a Bentley for the last 30 years! 🤣
Also the worst sides in the league don’t have a 50k+ plus stadium

With my travel I pay around £70 a home game on top of my season ticket. If it goes up a significant amount I won’t be able to keep going.

Would you want your £650 season ticket to cost £1,125 in five years time? That’s almost doubled in cost over five years
Or £1600 in ten years? Almost triple in ten years would be scandalous.
It adds up quickly!
As a football club from one of the most deprived areas of one of the most deprived cities, it wouldn’t take long before a season ticket is 5% of an average local annual wage or, heaven forbid, more expensive than watching Liverpool (who actually win things).

It is when you're already paying £600+ a season.

That won’t be sustainable for many

It drives me crazy. How a professional player in arguably the best league in the world can’t use one of his feet is crazy.
