More Names

*CALL THE STADIUM ,THE PLEASUREDOME, AND NAME THE STANDS AFTER THE LEGENDS DEAN ,YOUNG, KENDALL, HARVEY ETC ETC. I WOULD ALSO NAME THE TOILETS AFTER AGENT JOHNSON SO WE COULD VENT OUR FEELINGS FOR THIS MAN BEFORE AFTER AND DURING A GAME. BOB FROM RUNCORN. (09/09/02)

*the peoples arena!!!!! Tom. (09/09/02)

*I think the stadium should be called "The Blue Century Stadium" Because of Everton's 100 years of top flight football.
Carl. (09/09/02)

*I don't think EFC should emulate Hamburger SV in the Bundesliga. They named their new super stadium the AOL Arena, and now there is a huge luminous blue roof on it with an AOL sign you could probably see from Mars. What's even stranger is nearly all the seats are blue, with the odd black one and white one. This is because, although HSV wear white shirts, red shorts, and blue socks, they are, to the German mind, a blue and black club...

*We should call our new stadium the Evertonarium. A futuristic name for a futuristic stadium, and hopefully we'll have our club's best days at the stadium, in the near future. I also think Evertonarium would sound more like a concert venue (which is one the roles the club envisages for it) that, say, New Goodison. Blue-for-you. (09/09/02)

*I think a good name would be Dixie land in memorial to the goal scoring king Dixie Dean and then we could have a new anthem in the king elvis' song Dixie land very fitting for the kings dock another possibility would be The Nou Goodison to add a bit of European flair. Revo - Halifax. (09/09/02)

*the new name for the new stadium should be: Goodison, Goodison stadium, kopites r gobshites, able xavier is a melon head. from Alex o'neill. (09/09/02)

*I totally disagree with having to take up the name of some stupid sponsor. If all goes to plan & we get this new stadium it wont be altogether our own anyway coz it will be gettin turned round for things like concerts &
whatever else there planning on doin in there so I think the name of it should be left up to us. I think we should stick to something along the lines of Goodison! NIC. (09/09/02)

*I reckon the newground should be called "The People's Palace" or has someone suggested that already?
Regards. Chris K. (09/09/02)

*I'd like it to be called Goodison Dock or Goodison Arena, Goodison is such a great name, would be shame to lose it. Kopites are gobshites. Dean. (06/08/02)

*Lets not get carried away with stupid names. The new stadium (if it ever happens) should still be GOODISON PARK and the only possible variations could be NEW GOODISON PARK or simply GOODISON. Dave Barker. (06/08/02)

*We could call the new stadium 'The peoples theatre of dreams'. This way it gets at the red 5hite, Mancs and...Bill Kenwright is sure to feel at home. Rob. (06/08/02)

*what the hell is neil,4/7/02 goin on about it should be called the mccartney stadium, my arse, that man is one of the richest in the world and he calls himself an evertonian, how much money has he gave us ? have u ever seen him at a match?and b4 i go i think the stadium should be called the waterfront stadium, gary blue4eva (06/08/02)

*i think "kings dock" sounds good enough, but if say pepsi or coke are going to re-build the team just for
naming rights, i'd let them. i'd like to see a dean stand, kendall stand and catterick stand though. "the sony dome", oh jesus. jamesy.(15/07/02)

*Sorry to be a pessimist, but get used to the idea of staying at Goodison. The new stadium will never happen..if it does I will be made up. Goodison should be improved but have a massive empasis on heritage and uniqueness...anyone who has ever been to Fenway Park in Boston knows being old and original is seen as being better than the new modern stadium which all look the same.
Spot the difference....Derby, Boro , Stoke Etc.Basic Shite for basic clubs. Kings Dock is the name I would have..although Dixie Dean Stadium is also quality. As long as it does as good a job as the old lady Goodison then we will be OK. Paul.(15/07/02)

*The name should be [THE PEOPLES STADIUM] to rub the shite up even more. TOMO(15/07/02)

*mccARTney - calling the stadium after him....? Not a cat in hell's chance now I've seen his exhibition at the Walker.
Gareth John. (15/07/02)

*We now have John Lennon International Airport. Why not name the King's Dock stadium as follows: "The McCartney Stadium" ? Politely request Paul McCartney to kindly consider contributing, in order to
(a) get the project moving faster and with more certainty (b) demonstrate his [continued] support for Everton and the Mersey region (c) promote Sir Paul McC's business interests as exemplified next...

PROMOTER:"Hey Bruce (Springsteen)! D'ya wanna play in Liverpool?"
THE BOSS: "Huh?"
PROMOTER: "At The McCartney Stadium in Liverpool?"
THE BOSS: "Hell yeah! Let it be, man!"
... etc. I'm sure you get the picture.

This is not tongue in cheek, I'm very serious about it! Thanks for your time, regards, Neil. (04/07/02)

*The new stadium name should be called, 'the Dixie dean memorial. Kopites are gobshites. Home of the blues.
from blue knowz Alex oneill. (04/07/02)

*I think it should be called 'Dixie Deans Royal Blue Mersey kings peoples stadium' Or is that a bit too long. Chris. (04/07/02)

*I think it should simply be called NEW GOODISON PARK, or GOODISON, or maybe an Everton nickname of old THE SCHOOL OF SCIENCE anything but a dreary name such as the waterside. Pete J Gaulton. (04/07/02)

*Living in America you se the commercial side of everything. As much as this hurts Everton need to grab a high profile sponsor, to bring us back where we belong, the red shite would sell the pennies off a dead man's eyes so as Evertonian I have my wonderful memories , but that's all we need to remember our glorious past , however if we are to compete on the level of the top teams a huge cash injection is needed. We have a great new manager and looking at the world cup our players have performed well (Nic?).The American football team here is the Carolina Panthers they have a state of the art stadium which they immediately sold the naming rights to the highest bidder, that being Erricson phones, then they sold the beer rights to Miller, my point is this was a start up club with no history yet they were able to pull in a massive amount of capital before a game was ever played. Keep sentiment in our hearts but let's be realistic and bring back the glory days. Peter Morgan. (26/06/02)

*I agree with what seems to be the majority of views on here in that it should be called THE PEOPLES STADIUM. A nice touch would also to commemorate a stand each to a few of our heroes. Maybe a Dixie Dean End or a Kendall Stand? Si P. (26/06/02)

*I think the name for the new stadium should be "The Blue Stadium" Home of EFC. This will stop all the arguing of who, what and where. We are all blue to the core and this makes the most sense. I just hope we are not being conned. Great site, keep up the good work. We need more people like "Kipper" Blues. Thanks. John. (26/06/02)

*Why not sell the naming rights for as much as poss. £100 m or so. I don't think it's too important what it's called. But with our share of that cash we could do some serious rebuilding. Maybe then we'll be known for the football and not just a nicely named stadium. Who would care about the name if the footy was Shite????? Rob. (20/06/02)

*I think it should be named after 'Dixie'. Fionna Hennah. (20/06/02)

*I think the new stadium should be called one of these names(1)King Goodison (2)New old goodison(3)The kings dock stadium or my favoriute name Kick shit out of the kopites. Bluenose Del.(20/06/02)

*I agree in part with Neil Mac. But it should be called The "MERSEYSIDE ARENA" Mike Kendrick. (05/06/02)

*We used to be known as the school of science, seeing as tho SFX are putting shit loads of money into the project y not call it "School For Xcellence" therefore giving SFX the recognition it deserves for giving us the worldwide acclaim we will acheive!
Jamo - now in London poor bastard! (05/06/02)

*The new stadium is a great opportunity for the club to give itself a strong identity. Its so annoying that people hear a scouse accent and instantly assume that you support the shite. Lots of people don't even know that Everton are a City of Liverpool team. We need to claim ownership of this city back. Naming it 'The (insert sponsor) Mersey Arena' would help us to do this. Neil Mac, (25/05/02)

*I THINK EVERTON'S NEXT STADIUM SHOULD BE CALLED THE DIXIE DEAN STADIUM, BECAUSE KNOWONE THINKS OF HIM. HE'S HISTORY FOR EVERTON. 77 GOALS NOW THAT'S SOMETHING ISN'T IT, DIXIE SUFFERED SOMETHING BAD THEN SADLY PASSED AWAY IN HOSPITAL I HOPE ITS NOT ONLY ME THAT THINKS OF HIM I HOPE YOU DO.
TERRY PRITCHARD. SWANSEA. (27/05/02)

*Ideally I would like the whole site to be renamed Goodison Dock (I work next to the site on the Queens Dock and hardly any reference is made to 'The Kings Dock' because there is currently nothing there.....apart from a few pigeons). But realistically, with Liverpool City Council being involved an agreement will need to be struck so why don't we follow the lead of our manager.......ladies and gents, I give you:- THE PEOPLES STADIUM Cheers. Wes Cartlidge.(27/05/02)

*Thinking about names for the new stadium I keep going back to the same ones Dean arena, The stadium of kings, The bakayoko dome, but this is my fave 'The theatre of kings' Come on you blue boys. Chris McKeown.Bootle.(27/05/02)

*YOUR GEOFF'S LETTER 09/07/01- HE MUST BE READING MY MIND- HE'S GOT IT SPOT ON. STADIUM OF KINGS IT IS AND HE MENTIONED THE STANDS BEING CALLED THE GOODISON STAND ETC BRILLIANT AND NEITHER HIM OR ME ARE GENIUSES. LETS GET SERIOUS ABOUT THIS 'WATERFRONT' IS FIT FOR MIDDLESBORO, SOUTHEND GRIMSBY OR L/P**L RIGHT. IF WE WERE BUILDING AT THE GLADSTONE OR HUSKISSON ETC WE'D BE KNACKERED THERE FOR A NAME. TAKE A LEAF OUT OF SUNDERLANDS 'STADIUM OF LIGHT' WHICH IS NOW A BYE-PHRASE IN BRITISH FOOTBALL AND IT'S BARELY WHAT 2 OR 3 YEARS OLD. DON'T LET THIS OPPORTUNITY PASS US BY THIS STADIUM (OF KINGS) WILL LIGHT UP THE SKYLINE IT COULD WELL BE THE MOST PHOTOGRAPHED STADIUM IN THE WORLD SIMPLY BECAUSE OF ITS POSITION. KINGS ARENA IF THE STAND SLIDES IN AND STADIUM OF KINGS FOR REAL.THATS FITS EVERTON NICELY, WATERFRONT BE BUGGERED. BRIAN E FOLEY. EX-BOOTLE NOW IN CARDIFF. (21/05/02)

*F.A.O all of the people that are suggesting "the Dixie Dean stadium" or ny thing with dixie dean in the name, this is one of the (if not THE) greatest players ever to wear the royal blue jersey. to call any part of the stadium Dixie dean would be a massive insult to the great man considering he actually hated the name DIXIE. if anything is named after him it should be the' William Ralph Dean' stand/stadium. but as we already know the naming rights are up for grabs to the highest bidder. so its highly likely that
the stadium will be called the Coke can or something similar to the leicester disgrace. but if the fans did get the chance to name the stadium my personal favorite is "the royal blue mersey ground", this is becaue i would love to hear commentators or the RS say "the game is on the banks of the royal blue mersey!" john. (21/05/02)

*Bearing in mind that the stadium is to cater for all of Merseyide I think the stadium should be called 'The People's Stadium'. Not only is the name topical but it would wind the other fans up even more. Tony. (21/04/02)

*I think that since we are the PEOPLE'S CLUB the new stadium should be called the PEOPLE'S ARENA or something along those lines. Hammy. (21/04/02)

*Call the stadium: "The peoples club/arena/ground" etc. whatever's most popular. William Askew. (21/04/02)

*IT SHOULD BE SOMETHING TO DO WITH DIXIE DEAN AS HE MADE THE CLUB. I LIKE THE W.R DEAN STADIUM OR THE DEAN ARENA. BUT IF ALL ELSE FAILS LETS STAY AS GOODISON PARK. Original Sharpy. (21/04/02)

*The Mersey Kings' Arena. Eric the Blue, Bristol. (21/04/02)

*Hello there, Don't know how many people will read this (around 4,500 a day at the last count) but it should be called: "The People's Stadium". We are of course "The Peoples Club", so why shouldn't we have "The People's Stadium"?????? Cheers, PERTHTOFFEE. (21/04/02)

*"THE EVERBLUE RIVERSIDE STADIUM"...Nuff said!! P.S. Great website. Lynne 007. (21/04/02)

*The Merseyside International Dock Arena and Stadium or the MIDAS. As we are to be only part owners i think this is not bad and no more or less corny than some other suggestions. Then the four stands could be named after Dixie Dean, Harry Catterick, Howard Kendall and Alex Young. cheers. phil tomkins. (21/03/02)

*How about "The Dome Dome" after Everton's most successful manager? Everton yets (21/03/02)

*THE NEW GOODERSON. Barry Beasley. (21/03/02)

*The new stadium should in my view say something about the club, power, history, science, so a big and bold name would do the trick, The Waterfront. Most certainly we should have the Dixie Dean End, Goodison End and prehaps the Southall or Kendall to add to some suggestions. Greg. (21/03/02)

*am i the first to sugest the name "the stadium of king's" short and to the point.you can add the sponsors name ie "one to one stadium of king's". Susan. (21/03/02)

* what about "We don't care what the red shite say!" Can you imagine the derby. One kopite saying to the other (long distance phone call) I've got a ticket for the derby at "WE DON'T CARE WHAT THE RED SHITE SAY" (in Norwegian) Martin. (21/03/02)

* what about GOODISON DOCK, we could incorporate both sides of the coin by keeping our home at Goodison and moving on to the Dock. Martin. (21/03/02)

*It will be something like the Ford Waterfront Arena. It should be something like Kings Arena. Goodison is and should always be Goodison - let the name RIP when the old Lady is bulldozed. Neil Wolstenholme. (21/03/02)

*The stadium should be called 'Three points against Leicester and a point against Blackburn and we should be safe stadium' because that's all we fucking talk about these days. MITCHELL. (21/03/02)

*We all know that it is going to be commercially named, so I think that we should just be hopeful that it is a sensible name like the Kings Dock Arena. I hope that as this is the case they will put some thought into the names of the stands. We should have a Dixie Dean stand or end. We should have a Goodison Stand without a doubt. As the ground itself is going to be named with the overall development in mind I hope that they don't forget the fans when naming the stands! Rico. (21/03/02)

* The stadium should be called the 'Mersey stadium' Chris Wardle. (24/02/02)

*I think the new ground should be called THE GOLDEN VISION and no stupid stand names like north, east, south, west.
LUKE MCHUGH (24/02/02)

*Surely you have to call it "King's Dock"? The new stadium wont be Goodison Park so therefore shouldn't be called it! It's time to move on. I do like the idea of calling a stand after Goodison though! Tom Lyon. (24/02/02)

*Joe Dwyer has already confirmed the new stadium will be commercially named, so we can rule out anything to do with EFC or Goodison...the tenuous link that could be a real money spinner would be to be negotiate with our kit manufacturer : So we could have the Puma Stadium : If Leeds Chairman is talking about selling the naming rights for Leeds new stadium for £60M, then we should be negotiating for £100M, given the Stadium will be being used every week of all sorts of high profile events and throughout the year...That works out as a nice little £49M for Everton to do some serious team rebuilding: once all the finance for the development is completely in place and the scheme is given the all clear to get built, naming rights negotiations could be started & finished - hopefully by the end of this year - and if a deal on the naming rights could be done for this sort of value, Bill can go to meet the "Securitisation" men and borrow against the £49m EFC will receive JUST for the naming rights..Wahaeey...is it too fanciful to imagine that EFC will become a buying club competing with the Arsenals/Chelseas and Manyoos of this world within the next 18 months...?????? Hmmm....now how much do you reckon Rivaldo would cost.... Pete Sully. (24/02/02)

*Just a simple "Goodison" would do me, but with the money made from having some companies name in there, BT Goodison, or something like that - also, i don't want the stands to be called west, east, north, south, that'd be shit, proper names plz!
James Bates. (22/01/02)

*Ok I think the new stadium should be called "Goodison Park" - Kings Dock Merseyside or Goodison On the Water.
Toffee Man Dan. (22/01/02)

*The new name for the stadium is already in place,it should be called simply "The kings dock arena" it's short,sweet and powerful and rolls off the tongue.It also has a regal touch to it,which is fitting as our colours are royal blue.As we will have a new stadium we could also have a new nickname "The Kings". Why not name one of the stands after our great old stadium like, "The Goodison Park end" and "The Kings stand" and name the rest after ex Everton greats "The Dixie Dean stand".This way we have a new stadium with a new name but we keep some of our old identity. Gary Spicer (18/01/02)

*I think that the new name as corny as it sounds for evertons new stadium at kings dock should be called either THE NEW GOODISON or the DIXIE DEAN STADIUM. Ian. (18/01/02)

*As it seams the fashion at the moment to sale the advertising space of everything and anything, we could get old megabucks Branson to sponsor the new stadium and it could be called "The Virgin Arena" and it would be quite suited at the moment because the way Simmo is playing between the sticks, away teams will get fuck all. Corsham Blue Boy. (12/12/01)

*Due to the adverse amount of old has beens the scottish mong wants to bring to our club the only appropriate name for the new ground is SHADY PINES STADIUM. Chris & Kerri. (27/11/01)
