New ground = New club

I’m a lifelong Evertonian, now in my fifties. I will always be an Everton supporter, I will never surrender that right to support the team that I love. I will never support Kirkby. I was born in Everton and not Kirkby. Ground move? Load of idiocy! A Football club has only one possession and that is it’s home. Players come and go, managers come and go, directors come and go… even the fans in the great scheme of things come and go…….. The ground is a permanent fixture in all of this, it holds the memories and the identity of the club. New ground = New club. Rebucula. (21/03/07)

Tom Cannon's Views

Besides being a Evertonian, Tom Cannon is recognized as a expert on Football finance, and his views on the proposed move to Kirkby and our tie up with as he put it with One of the most successful British company's, gives another angle to Blues fans, regarding the move away from Goodison. He has studied the financial situation regarding any outside investment that might be interested, and what it would take to gain control if the board were to accept, and his views on the not so viable cost of the reconstruction of Goodison, were very forthright. Norman Merrill. (21/03/07)

Stadium Debate

I've just read Leahy's propaganda about the kirkby move and I'm getting the feeling, that its HE and other wannabe's who wish to see Everton moved to Kirkby in order to get the city corporately branded with shi-'ite fc. They'll get their 30 pieces of silver and we'll get a shiny toilet bowl of a stadium …. with no church attached …… my community will be devastated in and around County Rd, (we'll be reduced to satellite businesses of the shi'-'ite, this includes a good number of blue pubs newsagents and chippies…..... so I'll tell you what, why don’t we do away with the toffee lady, Dixies statue & Z cars while we're at it. Fans of the blues outside merseyside will possibly not understand this.

If the move happens, then please do the decent thing for every loyal Evertonian and change the name of the club to Kirkby United FC (FCUK anyone?), I for one do not wish to be associated, nor pay good money to a club that no longer reflects the wishes of its fans. I will remind you again that we voted to stay where we are, and this gentlemen is commonly known as 'democracy'. You will also notice that the words 'partnership', 'council', 'initiative' or 'commerce' do not appear anywhere in it.

If you think that we cannot achieve our goal of staying, please look at the insidious way in which the shi'-'ite are currently nibbling away at their original ground plans, how they're covertly expanding them and how the council are keeping quiet about any extra land being taken up…... They're eating at Stanley Park like a cancer. Have we heard the council kicking off about how much room they're taking in Stanley park, have we hell …... like I said money talks, so come on blue eyes etc, you're all supposedly superfans, so gear this otherwise excellent website up to starting a campaign for staying.

The timing of Leahy's comment is of interest, I notice that he has stuck his oar in just after the redshi'ites new owners stated that they were reviewing their plans for their pigsty, (methinks there's an echo of adolf here as he also claimed 'Lebensraum' in WWII … if y'know your history). Its becoming as plain as the nose on your face that the interested parties in EFC, knowsley council, liverpool council and shi'-'ite fc are possibly all conspiring in this. Look at the facts, we got stiffed by the council over the Kings dock move because we ran out of time with our bid, so exactly how long has it been since the shi'-'ite first mentioned the @nalfield move (5 or 6years at least)…. And still not one sod of earth has been turned yet ……. An accommodating council or am I getting paranoid?

The bottom line is;- 'Is there really an Evertonian out there who would wish to see Everton FC relegated to the city boundaries' (no insult intended to the good folk of Kirkby):- should we stand back whilst our team is hustled out, the community surrounding Goodison destroyed (like it or not, these are your roots) and our so-called football crazy city to be eternally associated with quasi-religious protestant americans who currently masquerade as 'soccer' fans whose legacy no doubt will be 'We got the bluenoses kicked out of europe, and we kicked them out of the city'…. Can any true blue live with a future like that ….. Shiny stadium or not???? County Rd Blue. (21/03/07)

New Stadium

As an exiled Evertonian living in the Midlands I get to see the Blues as often as possible despite the distance. There are, however, two major frustrations:

1. Goodison,(despite my love for the place, I've been going since 1964 when my Dad took me for the first time) is a tired stadium. The management of the club have done their best to provide good facilities given the restrictions but compare it to the Emirates, Pride Park or Coventry City or Man CIty (massive club LOL).Some of our hospitality is in a tent for God's sake! We need a new stadium now!

2. By virtue of its location Goodison is a nightmare to get away from after the match and is also difficult to find parking without a long walk to the ground.

We can't let The Shite look down on us - lets get behind Tesco Terry and get the stadium we deserve in a good location both for the city and for the travelling fans. Staying where we are is not an option. Ashby Blue. (21/03/07)

Get It Right

The time is coming, moving day is near. Why do we have to go? The place needs a spot of paint, a little modernasation. We will be alright. No problem. It's done us ok, for over a hundred years. I love Goodison, spent most of my youth going to the ground, seen the world cup played in 66, watched Everton win in 63, memories keep me going back in time. If we have to go, please lets get it right this time. No more fucking around.

The Book of Levity
Translated by
Father Seamus Full O’Baloney Moind Me Pig Potatoes O’Neill, SOPPP
(Society of Pedophile Plastic Paddies).

Chapter 06-07.

1 And lo! The tribe and multitude of Ever-ton was sorely puzzled in their tents. For their Temple of Football was much in need of shekels and relocation. And there was enough interest to stop the Faithful watching “Big Brother” and listen. And it was much funny.

2 For chief rabbi Wy-ness hath taken himself unto the Holy Trinity, Bill God the Father, Jon God the Son, and Robert God the Holy Ghost of Vegas, and saith unto them, “Look, boys, unless we get a new ground we’re goosed for the forseeable.” And the Holy Trinity were blessed and spake to the Bank of Delphi then answereth, “Go ‘ead, la. See what yiz can do.”

3 So Wy-ness betook himself a few leagues unto the tribe of the Kirkbyites, next to the Land of The Wools, and also spake to Lea-hy the Oracle of Tesco, saying, “What’s the score, Terry?”

4 And Lea-hy prayed with the high priests of Knows-ley and it came in a vision to them from out of a burning bush, free land next to a motorway, possibly regenerative, possible revival of a new tramway scheme, and a good return in property shekels for all. So Lea-hy museth and proclaimeth, “You get a new ground. We get a new megastore and distribution centre. Could be, squire, could be.” And so it was trumpeted amongst the tents of the Faithful that their Temple might be rebuilt down the Road to Damascus. And so it was considered in privy.

5 Then arose much sore moaning, gnashing of teeth and rending of garments in the small tent of the Pharisees and Luddites whose rabbis were permanently at the Wailing Wall because they’re a miserable shower of fat gits with dandruff with nothing else to do but speak the same old shi’ite. They proclaimeth, “But our Temple be HOLY and HALLOWED ground even though it’s now a shithouse in a falling-down area. It be consecrated by………by……..by………well, just take our word for it, it is.”

6 Then from the Luddites came Voices that heard Voices and they saith, “Behold! We do not need a new site! We can build over nearby tents! And if we may not we can steal their tents and throweth them to the wolves! For who giveth a fuck for them? Are we not anointed and self-righteous?…………Hello?………..Hello?………….” But they were such a bunch of narcissistic boring nobheads the multitude hath long since done one.

7 So one of the Pharisees came forth from the ranks of union loons and loudly trumpeted, “Yea! We must meet unto The Casa and gather to speak with priests and politicians who can tell you what to think!” Then only 70 turned up out of an average gate of 36,000, and only one priest, Brad-ley, who offered Manna from Heaven but had only stale crumbs as usual. The other priests sent Dead Sea scrolls in their places because they knew a dead cert bunch of losers when they saw them. And the Pharisee tore his hair and gouged his eyes as the 70 got off to the nearest ale house.

8 Then came more Voices from Voices and saith things like, “Hearken unto this picture from Google Earth! Behold this site in Upper Shit Street! Even though it be only ten cubits long by nine cubits wide we can get a new Temple on it in six tiers with a sliding roof and guaranteed entry into Europe! ‘Tis easy this stadium design game!” And thus begot the tribe of Googlites.

9 And the Googlites split asunder from the Luddites and the Luddites split asunder from the Pharisees. But they were all Philistines anyway. And the multitude of the Faithful fell about laughing pleading, “Welease Woger! Welease Wodewick!” And the Philistines were not amused.

10 Then the People’s Front of Park-End split asunder from the Googlites and proclaimeth, “Behold! Follow the Sacred Scarf of Dean, for he is the True Messiah!”

11 And it came to pass the Independent Gwladys Street Front split asunder from the Pharisees and proclaimeth, ”Behold! Follow the Holy Shirt of Yin! For did he not once score a cracker against the tribe of Manc from the Land of Wools, and was it not great? Follow not the heretical Scarf of Dean!”

12 Yea, then arose the latest in a long line of false messiahs, this one treble of girth, double of chin, big of mouth, empty of head and the breath of a privy ditch, and he spake the Language of Tongues, which is to say he didn’t have a clue about anything except the sound of his own voice and who might win the 2.30 at Chepstow. And there was much snoring amidst the Faithful for they had seen and heard it all before.

13 And the multitude gazed upon all the Philistines and saith one to an other, “They are indeed a sect of nobheads much soaked in mead who know fuck all. Let’s just go and watch the footy.” And they did and they were joyous because they were sixth and getting better all the time.

14 And Wy-ness sat and broke bread with the Holy Trinity and the Oracle of Tesco and saith unto them, “Listening to the Philistines talk shi’ite is funnier and loads better than those games at Wigan and Fulham isn’t it?” And they all smileth and retireth to the boardroom to talk of revenue streams, interest rates and return on capital.

15 And the Faithful proclaimed Moye-sy the True Messiah because he made all futures possible with his team building, ignored the Philistines, and got on with the job at hand, saying, “At least we HAVE a future now.” But the Philistines were deaf to this and too busy staring at their own navels and that of the others and rocked from side to side, moaning.

16 So the multitude returned to their tents and spake warmly of Tim Howard, Nuno Valente, Joe Yobo, Joleon Lescott, Manuel Fernandes, Mikael Arteta, Tim Cahill and Andy Johnson and attempts to get into the top four with next to no shekels.

17 And the Philistines were vanquished and exiled to Bootle.

18 And so it came to pass.

Kirkby Move

the liverpool summer pops has moved to aintree! shall it not be called the liverpool summer pops? after all it is outside the city boundries. lets call the sefton council summer pops. Tony Forsyth. (21/03/07)

Ground Relocation

Just a quick note on ground relocation. Is there a legitimate reason why everton cannot buy Anfield when they move? It is amazing what a makeover can do!!! Who cares if the shite played there we started there. It is the third best ground in the country and we need one now. Just treat it as another real estate deal. Lets face it by the time Everton have a new ground the bridge between us and the top four will be unbridgeable. If Bolton and their meager 20,000 support are the nearest challengers where does that leave us? We can't fill Goodison now why invest in a 55,000 stadium when there is a 45,000 stadium down the road with room for improvements. Buy it now before its demolished and our dreams go with it!! Hoping you can shed some light on this topic and wondering what can be done?? Regards. Brian Wyness(Possible Bully relative living in Australia). (21/03/07)

We Must Move On

Although I love Goodison park dearly the fact is the old girl is out dated, has poor sight in certain areas of stands and is not the future for us. Whether we like it or not one day we will have to move so why not now? I've seen so many people saying why cant we just update Goodison? The simple fact is by the time you've given Goodison a face lift you may well have spent half as much as you would have spent for a new stadium and we would be still with certain outdated features. Plus you'd have restrictions and who knows in another 50 years it would need updating again.

I'm sick of so called Evertonian's saying "if we move that's it I wont support the club" in my opinion you're not a fan your just being selfish. I wonder all those years ago when we left Analfield if some "Everton fans" stayed behind saying "I'm not going to that Goodison Park....it just not right for Everton" and turned to the dark side???? Yes its sad to leave, I think it would be like leaving a girlfriend you know you love but cannot stay with her because of certain reasons. Stuart Smith. (21/03/07)

The Move To Kirkby

The thought of us giving the city up to the dirty red tw*ts cos the council is suckin their ass pisses me right off. Ok, we get a brand new affordable ground etc and whatever sponsorship money off whoever but the FANS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE MONEY, aren't we??? What about the fans who can't make it but have been attending for years? And the others who won't be able to make it? F*ck Kirkby right off... yeh that german ground sounds good but why do we have to move and Liverpool get to stay? We were here first. Eddie A. (21/03/07)

We Need A New Stadium

Hello to all at the excellent bluekipper, great site. I've just been on a visit around Wembley stadium and it really brought it home to me on how much we need a new stadium. Don't get me wrong, I love our old lady of a stadium, but she's just that, an old lady and a tired one at that. To move forward we need a new stadium and if we get one of the calibre of Wembley then we'll be moving in the right direction. COYB. Mark R. Bucks. (21/03/07)

No To Move

I don’t want to move from Goodison and why should we?? If my facts are correct these questions should be answered before any move is even thought about,
1. The Main Stand was built in 1971 and it is now showing, however since 1971 building design has moved forward an awful lot so could we not replace the current stands one at a time and keep the existing footprint of our beloved Goodison park.

2. Is there any truth in the rumour that the Park End Stand was designed and built with a second tear in mind?

3. If the current footprint did need to be extended why couldn’t the City council (that are so keen to help out the Shite) allocate a small plot of land the other end of Stanley park and build a new school or better still why don’t we EVERTON FC incorporate the school into our new ground after all we are the school of science, this would enable us to move the Bullins road stand. These are just a few thoughts which I feel need to be looked at. Mike Dodd. (21/03/07)

Should We Stay Or Go

With regards to Tom Cannon who brought the last shareholders EGM to the table accusing the board of mismanagement, lack of any investment etc. A few days before the EGM withdrew his accusations to work with the board. For what aim? Well to be on the board himself ultimately. Mr Cannon has always wanted this for his personal kudos. He recently called any dissenters of not wanting to go to Kirkby as and I quote " From another planet". So only their opinions count? It's sickening to read his brown nose board ramblings when the same guy ran away from the shareholders AGM because he and his friends were not re-elected like a kid whose ball was taken away. He then set up with the help of others deemed more professional ,(yes they called other shareholders not professional because they were voted out, see Echo 'night of the long knives') to form the shareholders 2005. Be careful about what this man says fellow Blues. This deal for kirkby suits the money men at the club not the fans long term. I'd rather sit tight build the team and wait a bit longer than take a desperate deal by desperate men. Tesco only, I'm led to believe, get the free land if Everton come on board or a big leisure company. Think of our long term future and our kids. We are always being divided to be conquered, it's all very sad. Kings Dock anyone? Most fans wanted this and was never accomplished because of boardroom vanity. A paltry 30 million for an unbelievable site etc. A mortgage handed out like most of us have in type was thrown away. So I ask do certain people on the board love themselves more rather than the club first?

When we move it will be for the rest of our footballing lives at my age. It has to be the right move long term, be very careful of the coming PR. It's interesting that yet another man who lives away from the City wants us away from it. Ian Macdonald. Independent Blues. (21/03/07)
PS I'm getting fed up of an 'us and them' situation, why can we never be together? This proposed move will rip the Everton community apart.

Goodison Park

You only have to take a look at Manchester City to see that we would be better off staying where we are. They can't fill their ground and all the atmosphere of a football match has gone. I know Goodison is old and now relatively small in comparison to other so called "bigger" clubs but I just feel that its our home. Its what makes us intimidating for away teams. Fulham up graded the cottage so why can't we update Goodison?

I live in the midlands but come to as many home games as possible. I just feel that moving away from Goodison and then moving out of Liverpool itself would leave us with no sense of purpose. Empty. Re-develop Goodison. Lets keep our history. Our tradition. Our history and most of all, our home! Craig Love. Kidderminster. (21/03/07)

Kirkby Move

It will happen sometime… I really don’t want to leave Goodison Park but it will have to happen sometime. We can’t stay at Goodison forever, so while we have a great offer lets move. Should we bury an Everton shirt under the Shites ground like Tottenham did? It would make them even more shite. Martin1878. (21/03/07)

No Move

We shouldn't move. MacIvc. (21/03/07)

Move

Surely a precedent has been set? The Dark side get a piece of Stanley Park. Why not us? Personally, I don't agree that it should be used by anybody for anything other than a park. That said, has Gordon Clegg asked about the availability of any spare land? Would the council take him seriously after the "Kings Dock fiasco"? What's all this bollocks about wanting to be able to use this new stadium for concerts and events etc?
It hardly happens now with these new places so why should it in the future? All associated with the club want success, this presumably means Europe every year. Think about this, U2 want to go on a stadium tour of Europe. They book the venues 12 months and more in advance remember. If a football club has ambitions of Europe, what days during the season, which is nigh on 10 months long, are you pretty much guaranteed not to be playing on. Er that'll be a Friday then. Apart from June and maybe July (remember the Inter Toto begins then) they can book anybody any time. So when they start talking about concerts and events, think on. Bloo Moo. (21/03/07)

New Stadium in either Liverpool or Kirkby

I have read that the proposed new stadium will probably be modeled on the Rhein Energie Stadion Koln (Cologne). Well I have been in that Stadium and although its modern, its not a move forward for Everton In my opinion. There are gaps in the 4 corners, similar to what Glasgow Rangers had before some of them where filled with seating. A stadium similar to Celtic Park would be a better choice.....If we go with a design like the Rhein Energie Stadion we may as well stay ay Goodison.!!! John Worrall. (21/03/07)

New Stadium

Over the past five years I have heard numerous rumours about a new stadium for Everton but none have developed quite like the proposed move to Kirkby. I find myself torn between my love of Goodison and the atmosphere before, after and during games. And the knowing that a new stadium could lift Everton to the next level (top four). The big question is whether Everton should move out the city to achieve this. Liverpool city council seem to try there hardest to hinder any proposed move, as was seen when the Kings dock bid was made, even though funding fell through. The built up nature of the city limits the possibilities further. The hurdles towards a stadium in the city just get bigger.

The main sponsor of this proposed venture would be Tesco, who will only cough up if the stadium is built in Kirkby. In order to attract new players
with quality such as Fernandes we need a new bigger stadium. I watched the blues play Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium and it was superb. I was worried that the atmosphere would be lost but no another great atmosphere only available at the mighty blues games. I'm sure true Evertonians would travel across the world to see their beloved blues so a few miles up the rode should be no trouble. If we can have a new stadium in Kirkby i think the positives outweigh the negatives. Cheers bluekipper keep up the great work. Blue boy Haddies. (21/03/07)

Ground Move

I have just read and digested for the third time all the comments relating to our proposed move to Kirkby. And like every EvertonIan have an opinion. When talking of industry and major player’s surely one of the biggest developments is the sale of Mersey docks to Peel holdings, a massive company who own among other things the Trafford centre and John Lennon airport. Surely with the land available (all by the way on the waterfront and prime redevelopment land) they would be a perfect partner for us to stay in the city. One piece of land that springs to mind is behind the heritage market (river side) where they held last years summer pops.

There is so much prime spare land in the city, Kirkby should be last on the list, and Tesco should have no say in any way as regards our future, never forget without fans there is no future, and Everton belongs to the fans, its time big bills vanity and procrastination's’ of undying love were given a reality check, and like Barcelona the club given back to its true custodians the fans who pay every week. Michael. (21/03/07)

To stay or not to stay??

I think this is a brilliant site and I've read, with growing interest, the debate about our future home.We may have no say in the matter, it might be a done deal or there may be no alternative than moving to Kirkby. There again it may, as the club tell us, just be an exploratory discussion with other interested parties about the possibilities of providing a home for Everton FC. Obviously not being an intellectual like MBE, I want to explore possible options that may or may not be "Practical" but until every possible stone has been turned to see if we can find our new home in Liverpool, I would counsel caution about moving out of the city. It isn't anything to do about the ancestry of the people of Kirkby, we know that people from Liverpool settled there and their children are as "Scouse as I am." No one should be talking about Woolly Back Land or any other derogatory statement about the people of Kirkby.

This debate should have nothing to do with any slagging of our own. This debate is about whether, if we move out of Liverpool, will our support begin to erode away. who can tell but my fear is that it will. A lot of Liverpool people moved out to Skelmersdale in the 70's and they will still regard themselves as Liverpudlians but nobody else does. As far as the rest of the country is concerned, they belong to West Lancashire.
If this move goes ahead, I think our identity as a Liverpool club will just die. It may take time, it may take a long time but it will happen. We will have left the City of Liverpool with one club and that will be Liverpool FC. The thought makes me want to retch whenever I think about it!! The banners at Anfield the other week will just be the start and for us, there will be no return.

Of course, if the club moved to Kirkby (or to Skem for that matter) Evertonians would still go and they would raise their kids as blues but it would be a shrinking number as years went by. I walk round Stanley Park most weekends and the thought of those devil worshipping Anfield Redsocks being given land, in our bloody park!!!, to build their stadium just galls me beyond belief. I think the Council members who took the decision to let Liverpool build their stadium, without any thought as to how it would affect our club, ought to be publicly castrated - that's if they had any balls in the first place. But it's done now (and I'm seriously thinking of moving home!) and I dread the thought of thousands of bloody "South Coast Reds on Tour" wallies and Stavanger Fjiord Koppites, thinking that my bloody park is some kind of temple to them and all their dark works - God almighty, I will just have to leave my beloved People's Village of Kirkdale and seek Sanctuary somewhere far away from that shrine to our bastard offspring. Sorry, ranted a bit there I'll get back to the point. Today, I read a brilliant email from Ian McDonald, which inspired me to write this. He has said many things I agree with and has put forward ideas which I believe all Evertonians should at least give some serious thought to.
I say now, before I go on, that I have doubts about Bill Kenwright. I know he's an Evertonian but aren't we all! I don't think he can abide the thought of not being Chairman and I can remember him telling us years ago, that there were "no Sugar Daddies out there" Since then of course, Chelsea, Villa, West Ham, Portsmouth, The Red Jessies and there's probably more in the pipeline, have all been bought out. We, of course have Fortress Sports! Who? you tell me. It's funny how they came onto the scene when Gregg was trying to get his takeover going, only for them to disappear just as quickly once the AGM was out of the way. Now, God help us, we've got Roccccccccccccccccccccky!!! for God's sake!! In no way do I wish to knock him and I hope he really will come to the match but so bloody what!! It was embarassing to make such a song and dance about having a film star coming to watch the match. Our aim must be to have "stars" if that's the right word, come to our place because they love the football we play and it should be no big thing.

I've read Mickey Blue Eyes contribution concerning the the ground move and, although he has obviously put a lot of work into it, I can't help but think he is too arrogant and condescending towards anyone who might have a different, perhaps more naive view than himself, when we look over the abyss that is our future. I agree totally with Ian McDonald. We could perhaps, get all of our fans motivated in getting Politicians, both local and national, involved in getting this bloody council to start seriously considering some domestic options for the senior club in Liverpool. Some people have mentioned Everton Park as an option and why the hell not!! It's Everton, it's where we came from and it's nothing at the moment than a bloody big grassed area, which the Council could think of nothing better to do with.

I say again, read Ian's contribution. It might be dreaming but is this not how we started,by our forefathers dreaming of forming a football team. What a team and what a club!! We are Everton and we can dream. The Financiers say we're skint and it's probably true but even after the last lousy twenty years, our club has kept the faith. If the Red Jessies had suffered anything like the dross we've had to put up with, they would be having gates of about 10000. So let's not just be too fatalistic about our options, lets start talking to each other about what we can achieve. Ian has issued a rallying call, lets see if we can meet this challenge instead of just thinking Kirkby or bust. Let us kick some ass, as our beloved colonial cousins are fond of quoting. Instead of being bitter Micky Blue Eyes, I believe you are an Architect, if so Design us a stadium. Make it one that will be worthy of the name it will bear, the Ralph Dean stadium. Let us see if we can persuade our beloved Council to give us the land, in Everton and for once, consider helping us rather than the other mob.

We don't only have architects who are Evertonians, we have builders, electricians, carpenters, plumbers, accountants, glaziers (oops), landscape gardeners, bricklayers, welders - you name it and we will have it. Of course, we can't just go out and build a stadium on our own, but the point is that we should try and get every possible voice raised in saying what we want to achieve. I think Bill says that there are six hundred thousand or so, blues world wide, Well let's just see what, if any thing can be done if we were willing to give it a go. If in the end we fail to provide a viable alternative to Kirkby, then at least we have given it a go. Jim Lloyd. (21/03/07)

Mickey Blue Eyes

The article by Mickey Blue Eyes will, hopefully, do what it says on the tin and crush all the myths and half truths currently doing the rounds about the protracted saga that is the new stadium and it's proposed site.

Having read a lot of the submissions sent to your (great) site, I feared the worst. Here we go, I thought, another long emotive rant about history, atmosphere and going to the wild, remote and inaccessible land that is Kirkby (described on some maps, apparently, with the legend "Here Be Dragons").

But no, a well presented, reasonable stating of the facts. Thank goodness for common sense and a realisation that a great club needs to move on to recapture its former status as top dogs. Bernie Bluey. (21/03/07)

Stadium Mania

Just thought i would respond to the M.B.E stadium mania piece haven't really read it all but whatever happened to the Goodison For EVERTON (G.F.E) plans remember printing it off a few years back. I hope the club stays at goodison but we must have redevelopment and those plans at the time looked ideal, great site lads keep it up have been logging on for last 4 or 5 years at least and never let us down on 1st rate news & info on our beloved club. COME ON YOU BLUES! Cheers, The Blue Budgie. (21/03/07)

Gwladys Street Now The Away End

From the look of the plans at the Goodison site, The Gwladys Street Stand would be the new away supporters area. Have a look at the plans and see if you agree. How would this go down with the Gwladys street faithful. Dar. (21/03/07)

What's The Problem?

I can't believe the amount of arguing that is going on about our proposed move to Kirkby. I am from Kirkby, although I have moved up to Geordie land, I travel down every other week to watch the blues (Season Ticket Holder Top Balc) What's the problem, everyone who is saying its outside the cities boundaries, do me a favour, Kirkby still has an L postcode. the move will generate massive income for Everton and Knowsley by creating jobs etc. Also can I point out, where is Old Trafford, its not in Manchester its in Salford, a different city!!! Talk about following the blues, grow up lads and lasses, prove you r a true blue and back them, after all I bet you will still go the match!!!! Great site lads. Inny. (21/03/07)

M.B.E. Article

Very good, excellent in fact. Keep it up. The truth will out. Rich Welsh Blues. (21/03/07)
