Council urges duo to share stadium.

[AFII]

Liverpool's new owners have been asked by city council leaders to look again at the possibility of sharing their new stadium with Everton.

American tycoons George Gillett and Tom Hicks want to make Liverpool's new Stanley Park stadium even bigger than the planned 60,000-capacity but will need council permission.

Liverpool have always ruled out sharing with Everton but city council leader Warren Bradley wants them to reconsider.

Bradley told the Liverpool Echo: "They have 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 until 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?"

Everton are considering moving to a site outside Liverpool in Kirkby but Bradley - a Blues season-ticket holder - believes Goodison Park could be redeveloped.

He added: "I think in a few years' time they'll be playing in a new stadium and I think it will be in Liverpool. I would be happy with a joint stadium, I've got to be honest, but my gut feeling is probably not.

"I don't see any reason why Goodison Park can't be redeveloped. You could quite easily fit an additional footprint and some commercial activity - a hotel, for example - into a new development."

Of course Everton season ticket holder and council leader Warren Bradley want a shared stadium.

Duo urge council to f*** off...

A shared stadium is no doubt an extremely practical solution to the problem of both clubs needing expanded capacity, but given neither set of fans really wants it, and it is only the Everton board that really want it or need to happen because they are skint, I cant see how this could possibly happen.

In the BBC artcile on this Bradley also says that his gut feeling is that it won't happen. he adds that he can't see any reason why the bluenoses can't redevlop Goodison. So if even the big shot at the council thinks he's got no hope, then off to kirkby Tesco's it is for them.

I guess this is good news. He wouldn't suggest a shared stadium if the council wouldn't approve Gillett and Hicks plan to a bigger stadium than 60k.
