Everton Chairman Bill Kenwright Open To The Idea Of Ground Sharing With Liverpool

[5europeancups]

I've been giving you the benefit of the doubt up to now in the face of some vitriolic abuse hurled your way here and there. But now I'm absolutely convinced you're a WUM at best and a club insider peddling an agenda at worst

As a Scouser with 2 brothers, 2 sisters, 11 nephews, 1 niece, 8 uncles, 8 aunts and 56 cousins in a typically Scouse large family I can tell you that this myth about families being divided by football support is just that: a big fat myth.

In my entire family there is just one of my nephews who supports Everton and that was just to spite his Liverpool-mad father. Everyone else does indeed hate Everton: there's no other word for it.

I would also say that about 90% of families I know support one or other club with only a minority having shared loyalties.

Not a single person in the family and not a single Liverpool supporter amongst my friends is in favour of groundshare. This crazy idea should be strangled at birth

sorry but in my family we are split by a common passion. My cousins and grandad and one or two uncles are evertonians, my family we are reds...

We only agree on Tranny.

**** groundshare, why don't we just go for a merger with Everton.

[Redspin]

im in favour of a groundshare. here's why

finances would be better for us
everton v liverpool would again become the friendly but proper rivalry it once was.
I want everton to be reasonably strong as i want them as rivals at the top of the league.
Its good for the city and good for lfc. local competition gave us an added impetus/drive in the 80s. we miss that now imho.
needs to be 70k+ tho. remove the ST waiting list and get in all the local kids for a 5er if necessary to fill it.

**** Everton. Who cares about their being reasonably strong apart from Everton fans? Personally I'd be happy to see them in the conference. The last time games against them were worth watching was in the mid-sixties. Nowadays they're just another team

Groundshare is a hare-brained idea. What would you like in your grand plan - purple seats so as not to offend them and perhaps a statue of Dixie Dean by the Players' Entrance? It's all absolute bollocks of an idea

If Everton are so desperate for a shared stadium, they can **** off and share one with Tranmere. We don't want them in or near our stadium except on Derby day.

Liverpool's new owners have not ruled out a ground share with Everton.

New England Sports Ventures (NESV) met Joe Anderson, leader of Liverpool City Council, to discuss the future home of the Reds before their' 2-1 win over Blackburn Rovers yesterday at Anfield yesterday afternoon.

Planning permission on a proposed 60,000-seater stadium in Stanley Park is set to expire in June 2011, the council have urged the club's new custodians to make a decision whether to press on with the plans laid by their predecessors or redevelop their current Anfield home.

Representing NESV at the meeting were chairman Tom Werner, Boston Red Sox CEO Sam Kennedy and newly-appointed Liverpool directors David Ginsberg and Michael Gordon.

Cllr Anderson will meet the group again in a fortnight and is hopeful that a decision can be reached once NESV have assessed all available options and hopes that relations between the club and the council will continue to strengthen.

He said: “The meeting went really well. I let them know how the council and Anfield residents had gone the extra mile to make the park available and how we had waited so long for things to happen.

“I said I couldn’t make promises to allow for any time that was truly not needed or exaggerated.

“They’ve rightly asked for a bit of time to assess the financial situation and for us to be patient.

“We discussed ground-share as one of many options. Overall, they want to see the state of Melwood and the ground, and we can look forward to a positive relationship with them.

“I’m not going to slam down any ultimatums, but they know how determined I am for progress.”

The only way I'd ground share. Is if every seat in the stadium was Red and It stated home of Liverpool FC. This is Anfield and nothing related to Everton was in the ground, except a sign somewhere near the motorway when evertoon play saying Next Game at Anfield 'Rent Boys v...'

New stadium? Ground Share? Neither.....develop Anfield. NESV have done it before with Redsox so why not again?

More than happy if they could redevelop Anfield to 60k +

If they can and it is cost efficient, they will. But if it makes more sense to build a new stadium in Stanley Park, then they'll take that route...but will they use the proposed design from the previous regime?

If they build what Hicks and Gillett proposed that would be like a lasting legacy in their name .......

We need something like this

[Baracus]

Any new plans or changes to the existing planning permission would require another application will it not? That will set us back another 600 days
