Tom Hicks:No shared stadium

[Bender]

Liverpool co-owner has rubbished claims the club could be willing to share a stadium with Everton.


Reports have suggested that Liverpool's American owners Hicks and George Gillett were considering changing their stance on sharing a ground with local rivals Everton at the request of North West Development Agency chief executive Steve Broomhead.

However, Hicks has moved to dismiss the rumours and says the club are still working on their new stadium in Stanley Park.

"There is no interest in a shared stadium and no planned meeting to discuss this," a spokesman for Hicks told the Liverpool Echo.

Everton chief executive Keith Wyness also played down the rumours saying neither club are interested in a groundshare.

"I can categorically state that a shared stadium is not on the agenda of either club," said Wyness.

Fair enough. I've not looked for a while and even then it was a fair time after we last heard anything concrete so I can only assume that people are still whipping themselves into a friendly over endless speculation and half-baked theories.

Let's hope he keeps to his word on this one - I'd expect ground sharing to be pushed big-time by the blues now that their Kirkby dream has evaporated. They've got no other option - can't develop Goodison, can't build in the city, can't build in Kirkby. Where next, Warrington?

Shame that the news broke before the derby, we've got three days to come up with songs to replace "the city's all ours".

SKYSPORTS Didn't take long for this to resurface
LIVERPOOL, England (AP) -Everton is considering asking Liverpool to ground-share after having plans to build a new stadium rejected by the British government.
Everton had planned to join forces with supermarket chain Tesco to build a new stadium and shopping complex on the outskirts of Liverpool. Everton chief executive Robert Elstone said Thursday that the club was "bitterly disappointed'' by the decision to throw out proposals for a 50,000-seat stadium to replace Goodison Park.
While neighbor Liverpool has had plans to replace Anfield approved, the American-owned club is still trying to raise the finances for the project amid the global economic crisis.
Due to opposition from fans, both clubs have previously been reluctant to consider sharing a stadium, however Elstone now says Everton is not against the idea - if it makes financial sense.
"It's certainly one of the options that we will need to cover,'' Elstone said. "A shared stadium is perhaps an option if it's affordable. We have to look at where we can raise money, because potentially Liverpool will have to obviously contribute to that, and Liverpool City Council perhaps might need to find some money.
"Our history is one of creativity and innovation and if we are the first major English club to look at sharing then we're not scared of making those decisions.''
Liverpool, though, said that sharing with Everton is "not on our agenda,'' insisting that plans to build a new stadium in the adjacent Stanley Park remain on track.
"Liverpool are progressing forward with our own stadium. That is the position we are still in,'' Liverpool deputy executive director Peter Shaw said. "The LFC stadium is quite far progressed and once the financial markets reopen for business the LFC stadium will progress further.''
