Local Liverpool City Council Leader (and Everton Supporter) Warren Bradley has suggested a groundshare with Liverpool, when the Red's new stadium is built.
Liverpool's new stadium has been put on hold whilst new owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks consider expanding the stadium from the original 60,000 capacity that was planned, and talk of a groundshare has always been a widely debated topic, and now Bradley has suggested that the new owners share with Everton.
"They’ve got their guys (Dallas firm HKS) looking at designs, infrastructure and everything. Are you telling me a commercial business in America doesn’t sweat the asset? They sweat that asset till they can’t get any more out of it. If they can consider increasing the stadium size, why can’t they consider a shared stadium?”
Liverpool have put alot of hard work into finding investment to cover the cost of the new stadium, and now that it seems it is about to happen, the Bluenose Evertonians want a new stadium, but want the reds to pay for it!
Everton can stick their groundshare idea where the sun doesn't shine!
Everton were asked by LFC a few years ago to groundshare and they scoffed at the idea saying they couldn’t share with there arch rivals. Well they can go do one if they think they can move in now after the POOL doing all the hard work. Maybe we could rent it to them. That would be quite a twist.
if you look at it everton’s way, warren bradley has an idea in his head. most footballers talk of the threat posed by playing at Anfield. If Everton and Liverpool shared the new stadium then everton would have at least one thing going for them: Liverpool wouldn’t have the home advantage EVER!!!although we’d still sing the toffees out of there!
It just wouldnt be right! Liverpool pay out and work hard to build up our new maginficent stadium and the toffees just swan in and claim a whole half stadium for the liverpool v everton matches.
i think when it boils down to it at the end of the day a groundshare with the blue noses is a “worst case scenario”. They wouldn’t want it, we certainly don’t want it! It is gonna be hard enough leaving our beloved anfield but to leave and to share with that lot would be unthinkable, a nightmare. I still maintain they should have a new ground built near the mersey so we can float it out into the irish sea on match day when they play the mancs then call the RAF in for bombing practice! Kill 2 birds with 1 stone! Ha! Ha!
a liverpool fan was on holiday over in america. He wanders into a local bar. Whilst sitting at the bar he notices an indian tribesman over in the corner. A sign above his head reads “memory man- ask me a question, i have the answer.” so the liverpool fan wanders over and says “who won the 1965 fa cup final, what was the final score and who scored the winning goal?memory man replies “liverpool, 2-1, ian st john.” the liverpool fan is amazed. 5yrs later and the liverpool fan is back over the usa and goes back to the same bar and there sits memory man. The liverpool fan introduces himself in the indians native language by saying “how”, to which memory man replies, “6yards out, diving header”…….
