CraccerC Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 im ntoso keen on us having a small stadium onto there...makes us seem like leechers a bit imo...looks like weve just jumped onto a more successfull better stadium Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 i like the idea, but if they want to do this, strat off with two identical stadiums, maybe 55,000, then if the reds decide to build that extra 15,000 they can. got to keep it even.

Louis Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Height of silliness to be honest. If they were to be that close, the clubs may as well share (the Dundee clubs should also share in my opinion).Plus it say be "conjoined", people from Siam are not too happy!!

marcopaulo Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 i thought that they might aswell share too and i'm all up for sharing makes sense but this could be ok too if you ask me..be the first of it's kind i presume? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrotherEstapol Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Doesn't seem that silly to me...means that it's effectively the same as a shared stadium cept both teams will get more revenue from the naming rights. That said, if you're not keen on a shared stadium, you'd be unlikely to be sold on this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanmckenzieismagic Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 The club have already dismissed it However, publicly, the Blues dismissed the plan, denying any contact with the group and describing the scheme as “unworkable, unaffordable and undeliverable”.

Matt Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 nice to see someone is thinking outside the box, drugs often help with that.... Pros 1. its weird but original Cons 1. Wouldnt want to be in a smaller stadium. Would give the kopites "proof" that we are a "smaller" club 2. it reminds me of Wimbeldon and i HATE tennis. 3. Logisitcs of moving the crowd down that spinal wall would be a nightmare (at least from what can be seen from the pic) 4. Dont want to get involved in anyway with the black-hole-for-money-sinking-red-ship across the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kohen Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 What about traffic congestion when we both have a home game?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 (edited) What about traffic congestion when we both have a home game?! Just like it is now, we don't play at home on the same day (or even the same weekend?). Edited May 10, 2010 by Romey 1878 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 I'd rather stay where we are than move to a stadium like that. Personally, I may be biased(am I?) but I think that if LFC fail to build their stadium on Stanley Park before planning permission expires then the Council should implement another covenant.

rubecula Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 The idea has some merits. But I think that the downside of this idea is simply that it won't happen. Besides if one club has a smaller stadium than the other in a sceme like this there would be an outcry of incredible proportions. Why not two of the same sixe seperated by an athletics stadium. ie not siamese twins but Siamese triplets. It would provide a world class sports emporium (if that is the right word) Capable of holding many events throughout the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBri Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Personally, although novel, I don't like this idea. I actually find it quite insulting, as EFC have been thwarted at every step to build a new stadium, yet, only when the difficulty has raised questions of conspiracy or when LFC's new stadium started to lose momentum, has anyone external to EFC given any kind of a crap. As much as this is irritating, I would be quite happy to keep our heads down and plod on, as it surely can't be too long before we attract a billionaire benefactor. Then it will be 'fook 'em all' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcrawfor Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 Worst idea yet. Would much prefer a shared stadium like the Allianz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rubecula Posted May 10, 2010 Report Share Posted May 10, 2010 The Allianz is a great stadium to be sure, but share it with that lot. Might consider sharing it with Marine or South Liverpool. (are they still going?) Maybe even St helens RLFC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the Red Shite sure to pull a Leeds United or, even better, a Pompey we would be left with our own stadium having had it paid for by our ugly second cousin across the park.

Everton_Worshiper Posted May 11, 2010 Report Share Posted May 11, 2010 Where've you been EW? As Louis said, I have been stalking Anil Ambani Seriously, been touring the west coast of America for work and pleasure - people in the US are ace. All I can say is don't dis baseball, it will get you beat up! This stadium idea gets worse every time I look at it...so to those that opposed Kirkby which do you prefer, the Kirkby Stadium or a Stadium in the shadow (literally) of Liverpool's?
