Groundshare Rumour

[gkmacca]

Anyone else hear it? Someone on TLW, worked for/with the club in some capacity, previously a huge cheerleader for Tom Werner, took a phone call from him last week sounding him about a u-turn and a groundshare proposal, Cue much shrieking and then an angry resignation.

What a shambles this club is. Lies, lies and more lies. The supporters of this club have always been treated like shit, we put up with it because its in our blood, we adore this club,yet we are lied to all the time.

I've sent my final emails to FSG and Ayre, the whole lot of them can rot in hell. Lies, lies, lies.

What did Ayre say in the SI interview "an announcement on the stadium will come May/June" The fans hope its great news. Why was i called this week and asked about ground share?

I was asked on Tuesday about ground share. Why can't it happen, I was given an example of the Mets(no idea on their stadium) one week its green seats the next whatever.

Yet again I said its a tribal thing and can't happen, he said well they wouldn't have their half anyway. Why ask me then?

Would supporters not want a shared stadium then sit in a 45,000 Anfield i was asked.

The reason they will go ground share and tried to test me is because it gives them a better return once the sell in 3/10 years time.

The clubs should just bloody merge, call the new club Liverton, 85k stadium in Stanley Park, wear green and purple hoops, in honor of Prince Rupert and the city's links with Ireland

What capacity did he work in? He needs to sort his English out before he starts posting stuff as an ex-employee.

 

[gkmacca]

I don't know, mate. He's on the members' only forum. I've always found him irritating with his 'I can't tell you any details, but x is a bastard' or some such, but last Friday he exploded with rage about this.

 

[mark1975]

I never know what to believe with stuff like this, there's always people out there with agenda's, he's going out on a limb though if indeed an announcement is/was due next month.

 

[gkmacca]

Yes, that's the only reason I posted it, it just seemed weirdly plausible knowing him.

 

[FoxForceFive]

I'd like to know a bit more about how reliable he's been in the past before making any judgements tbh.

Maybe some st posters know a bit more. I'll have to check in there & see.

 

[gkmacca]

I know 'Dougie Doins' and Usher seem to regard him as legit.

 

[gene hughes]

And the really bad news is that the ground we're going to share is Goodison Park.

 

[Squiggles]

Hmm, I doubt it.

Everton are always skint and won't put up their half. Nor do I believe we have begun the laborious dialogue with the council about CPO's if we weren't fully committed to expanding Anfield.

 

[Hansern]

I hope to God its nothing but a rumour

 

[Fallon]

Never going to happen.

This, plus the fact that FSG know a groundshare will not give them the return they're after if (as would be the case) it prompts hordes of fans to stay away. I'd say they won't take the risk, but I don't even see it as a risk - IMO it's a nailed-on certainty.

I heard similar a few days back. It best not be true. I think a few thousand season tickets being returned would follow such an announcement

 

[Hansern]

Arent we currently buying property around Anfield? In regards to the redevelopment

 

[Ossi]

How many of these controversial rumours have been true over the years? 1%? We should keep track.

 

[Silver Sean]

Since when did the Mets share their stadium? Based on that alone he's full of shit.

 

[Oncy]

It works in Milan and Rome.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

We should share with Everton ... hopefully, it will help us make peace with the fact we'll always be looking up at the Mancs, Citeh, Chelsea etc

Wizzy. Shut up now mate. You're not helping shit

 

[Sunny]

No it doesn't they're getting their own stadiums now

 

[Oncy]

Wizzy. Shut up now mate. You're not helping shit

I tried to tell him yesterday he doesnt post 'this' well.

How do you know I'm not finally losing my natural optimism?

 

[Oncy]

How do you know I'm not finally losing my natural optimism?

BECAUSE YOU DONT POST THIS KIND OF THING WELL.

 

[LeTallecWiz]

you're just angry because i won't put out

 

[Oncy]

you're just angry because i won't put out

Im never angry.

 

[Tal]

That's as likely as a "two state" solution.

 

[Sunny]

Hahaha

 

[LeTallecWiz]

That's as likely as a "two state" solution.

Oh that's very likely - we already basically have 4, so losing two won't be that difficult! 🙂

Sooner or later it will happen in some city, two clubs will eventually decide that its the best way forward. But a club of our size shouldnt be involved in something like this, it would end up being a fiasco Everton would struggle to put the money together and never fill the place

However the main reason we shouldnt have anything to do with it is that in the long run is would benefit Everton far more than it would benefit us. We would be strengthening a rival and thats something we should always avoid whenever possible whether its selling a player or building a stadium
