  1. Having looked at the links Louis put up in the other thread I have to say that if Goodison does not get redeveloped (and that is something I personally would dearly love to happen) then my next favourite option would be the Scotland Road Loop.

     

    I am not a member of KEIOC group, but if anything I would support them in their endeavours. Personally I would sooner support KEAG (Keep Everton at Goodison)

     

    But as I no longer live in the city due to my work I must bow to those of you who do.

  2. I suspect Iggy is refering to my awful mangling of the English language. :lol:

     

    But welcome to the joys of being a Bluenose. Life is so wonderful when you support Everton, you are never worried, never have the referee give wrong decisions against you. Always know what is going on behind the scenes. Never have a wet or cold day at the match.

     

    Oh and I have been known to tell lies too.

     

    Good to see you Det.

  3. I can't go on like this not knowing... chewed past my fingernails and elbows, starting on my shoulder blades now.

     

    Money coming in, Stadium going out, Moyes just going?

     

    These rumours are killing me. I don't think we are getting big money, I dont think Moyes is leaving, God alone knows what is going on with us becoming Kirkby FC or whatever.

     

    I wish there were some facts floating around and not just rumours.

  4. This quote is not from anyone famous. But it means a hell of a lot to me.

     

    "Here were are son, your first pair of football boots and blue Everton socks and shirt to go with them. Get rid of that old red rag you wear at school"

     

    My Dad to me about 45 years ago.

     

    Also another one he said that made me cry happily.

     

    "Here you are son, your first Everton season ticket" (1966 Lower Bullens Road Stand... I still have it in a drawer)

  5. Kirkby, once called Kirkby Newtown, is a largish town built on the outskirts of Liverpool in the post war years. It is to the east of the city somewhat.

     

    It is unpopular with many for various reasons. Some I have listed below.

     

    Kirkby is outside Liverpool, the ancestral home of Everton.

    A lot of information coming out about the move was not given out before the vote to a new site was taken.

    Some people prefer to regenerate Goodison.

    Most people seem to want Everton to be the team to stay in Liverpool, after all we were here first.

    Some people in Kirkby are unsure about such an ediface as a football stadium being built on their own backyard.

    The new ground will be rented by Everton, not owned by them.

    Many people do not like the designs of the new stadium.

    Many suspect the stadium will plunge the club into deep debt.

    Some people are unsure of the tie in with TESCO who are building a supermarket as part of the developement.

    Some are afraid that the move will lose Everton it's identity and it's history.

     

    There are probably a few more that slip my mind right now.

  6. If, and at the time of writing this, it looks like the Kirkby move is a deffo, IF Goodison gets re-developed then where will Everton play home games while the work is carried out?

     

    I suspect thet a redevelopment will be an excuse to ground share anyway and they can then say you may as well stay there and sell Goodison anyway.

     

    However latest news seems to suggest that Kirkby Town FC is about to be renamed Everton.

     

    Oops am I being sarcastic there?
