We need to have ambition and we have a large fan base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romey 1878 Posted March 22, 2018 Report Share Posted March 22, 2018 It has to be 50k-55k with scope for expansion. Newty82 and Matt 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Makis Posted March 23, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 So we build a stadium bigger than that other lot. They expand by rebuilding one of the stands. Then what? How about instead focusing on what's the best for this club and not worry about that other lot? Matchday revenue is only a small part of a club's income these days. Especially Everton's as the club wants to keep the tickets affordable. Paddock, MikeO, Bailey and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted March 23, 2018 Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 50+ would be good for me. A quality stadium is more much more important than cold numbers. People need to realise that seat numbers aren’t the main income for clubs thes days. Corporate facility’s, tv money, and branding are the income. The key for the stadium is to carry on Evertons long tradition of firsts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Paddock Posted March 23, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 There’s no point building a stadium we wont fill- 55 is enough for us imo  we wont fill that unless it’s a big game. I’m not arsed if it hold more than this team or that team I am however arsed about the possibility of us rattling around in a 3 quarters full stadium. markjazzbassist, MikeO, Bailey and 3 others 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Steve Posted March 24, 2018 Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 The new Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta seats 70k but they sometimes put banners in front of the top tier, which reduces the number to 50k without the sense of empty seats. It’s also a dome, so games are unaffected by bad weather. Works well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StevO Posted March 24, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 24, 2018 I think 60k is realistic. We don’t know what our true possible attendance is. What we do know is that all non obstructed view seats sell out for every league game and have for years now. That’s 36k inc away supporters. I think if we could get 45k Evertonians buying season tickets of aimed the right way. Budget seating, Mid range seating and premium seating could offer different options. I’ve said for a few years now, a single tier, no frills (no boxes or premium leg space) home end, thats bloody huge, priced at the lowest end of the scale would be full and loud each week. A premium section in the middle of each of the three other stands with bigger seats, more leg room and maybe a wider range of refreshments could be priced much higher. The remaining seats to be mid range with the largest number of seats available, top and bottom tiers of the three stands. If 50k seats of these three types were available, we would get a huge majority sold as season tickets, the remaining tickets available for sale. Between away fans and corporate lounges and boxes you could find another 10,000 seats. Giving 6,000 away tickets (as a maximum for the clubs who bring that many) and 4,000 coprtorate seats isn’t that huge  We have one chance to get it right, for the long term. If we don’t fill it each week then that needs to be on the head of the people running the club. If they manage the season ticket sales so any empty seats are the back rows, so no single unused seats amongst the masses, any unsold seats will be together. Give them to the local football clubs, army barracks, local businesses, just fill them. Wouldn’t be more than a few thousand tickets as a maximum. Empty seats don’t make money, but give them away and the recipient buys a pie and a pint, or a programme and a bag of crisps. Domestic cup games are always a problem, just include them in the season ticket. It’s no more than a few extra games anyway, just give them to the season ticket holders for free and have a full house. Instead of charging us £15-20 to watch a reserve team in a half empty stadium. If the people in the club had faith the fans would turn up, had belief in the marketing and commercial teams to get the stadium full, they would be looking at a big capacity. So far to me it sounds like they are scared to fail, so let’s build it small and tell everyone how we sell out each week. It’s a small time mentality from people who don’t have trust in their colleagues to deliver it. Matt, barryj, Newty82 and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rubecula Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 modern times will not give us the fanbase we once had, but I do think that we could usefully use a 60,000 seater. OK we may not fill it every week but better to have it and not use it than to not have it when you need it.

Palfy Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 A 60,000 seater would be great but we need to have a team that can fill it your 30,000 die hards will turn up no matter what. There's nothing worse than seeing a stadium during a game with thousands of empty seats to me it feels soul destroying, and can destroy the atmosphere it's a tough one so maybe 50,000 would suffice considering that gate receipts don't really make much difference to the running costs of most if not all clubs in the PL. That way we can still cater for more fans and don't run as much risk of having 25-30% of the stadium empty, with a poor atmosphere that the team find hard to get up for and doesn't unsettle the opposition.

StevO Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 If we only wanted 50,000 we might as well just knock down the park end and build a two tier stand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palfy Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 It’s not all about the size surly  why we’re moving is also for a stadium that gives everyone a better experience and is more diverse in what it can offer the community. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Posted March 25, 2018 Report Share Posted March 25, 2018 I keep saying it, it needs to be at least a 1,000 more than Anfield or we will always be the smaller club. 56k to 60k would suit me and if we intend moving to the next level we need a team and a ground that enables us to compete. rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post StevO Posted March 30, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 30, 2018 I’m convinced it will happen. Don’t know how I would feel if this one falls through. Move more faith in Moshiri to make this happen more than anything else, business is his world, not football, so I think he will do it. We will also owe Joe Anderson a massive debt of gratitude for making it happen too. Matt, Newty82, Paddock and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
