Nothing against the new plans, I just have a real fetish for bare 70s-style concrete. Also, there’s just something about the lack of legroom that just makes the whole experience magical. Nothing better than waking up the next morning with bruised shins. That’s not to mention the lack of decent catering facilities. Who the hell wants to be fed and hydrated while watching a football match!? 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me too. I am also keen to see the phase 2 plans - and the Master Plan. I would be really interested to see what the proposal is for the Doug Ellis Stand.

ThunderPower_14 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 The world as a whole spends too much time worrying about old buildings. I know it's literally UNESCO's entire job, but it's just a dock ffs. Something isn't necessarily important just because it's been around for a long time. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Evertonians have consistently supported any move from Goodison given its not fit for purpose and there is no room to expand. A minority want to stay but it wasn't going to happen. They have ended up with a far better stadium and location compared to the giant Tesco shed they were planning in Kirby. Anyway back to Villa I actually quite like we are one of the few remaining big clubs that have stayed put. And some of that is down to Doug who bought up virtually all of the original lower grounds land (basically villa village and the academy building) in the 80s and 90s. If we didn't have the land we would be screwed. He still messed up on the Trinity though. Edited December 19, 2022 by The Fun Factory 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cities exist for their people, to be functional liveable spaces for those who live there, not an unchanging memorial to the past. We're not talking about bulldozing the pyramids here. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any further drastic expansion when we start conquering Europe will either require the pitch to be lowered to add in more seats, or, moving elsewhere. Not that it will happen in my lifetime, but I can’t see how it would ever be possible to go to say 70k at our current location. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would say only United could carry that amount of attendance in the entire country. We haven't had 50 thousand for nearly 45 years, and the club has plans to further expand to 52 to 53 thousand. I would say that is plenty enough. Anything larger it becomes an arena than a football ground. A few years ago we were bumping along at 32 thousand.

sidcow Posted December 20, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted December 20, 2022 (edited) We could certainly rebuild The Witton Lane stand to get to 60,000 odd as has been discussed extensively in this thread. Could probably rebuild The Holte for more seats as well, but that's another lifetime away. Need The Midland Metro down there first too.

I thought that the club had already mentioned the possibility of work on the Holte as part of the next phase to increase capacity beyond 60K?
