Apparently all a myth that Goodison Park will fail to obtain a certificate. Council spokesman said: "I would advise the General Safety Certificate is in force for the sports ground. There is a series of requirements under the General Safety Certificate for the sports ground that the Club provide annual certification from qualified parties for a number of building/safety related elements and installations etc. "This process is a continuing one and we are not aware of any reason why the Club would not wish/be able to continue that process."

Surely you should be more concerned with him being declared bankrupt twice?

I was thinking that - £20 per ticket but didn't want to come across as a pov'.

Everton say they can't afford to do anything with Goodison. Robert Earl freely admits he is only on the board to push for a new stadium. I was shocked when I learned Goodison hadn't been put forward as a plan B if Kirkby fell through. I'm concerned that it may be a case of stubbornness. On a cost per seat basis, it's been suggested that 12,000 seats could be added to the Park End for £22m. Home Park seems relatively modern:

lembot - Apparently Everton only put Finch Farm forward. Daily Mail reported Goodison Park had been accepted but it seems to have been a mistake and they've corrected their original article.

Liverpool's bid has been accepted. The committee have said it could be New Anfield or Anfield.

It looks legit.. What they;re saying is true.. at present you have a different accounts for evertonfc.com, evertonTV, and EvertonDirect. It makes more sense (cost efficient) to have us all in one bigger database. One thing I'd like though is to be able to choose your login name. Mine is my hotmail account which I havn't used other than for MSN for years.

The results will be revealed today. At least three of the following will be dropped: Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Leeds, Derby, Hull, Newcastle-Gateshead, Nottingham, Plymouth, Leicester, Milton Keynes, Sheffield, Sunderland and Bristol. Personally. I'm not too fussed about Liverpool's bid, LFC have put forward both Anfield and Stanley Park plans. Everton have only put forward Finch Farm as a training base (which ironically strengthens Manchester's bid because it's within an hours travel from their stadiums). I'd like to see Bristol and Plymouth make the grade - it'd be a welcome change. Everton chief executive Robert Elstone said: "I'm sure Liverpool's bid and Everton's place in that bid has been very much damaged by the rejection of the Kirkby project. "It's clear to us that Goodison is not a stadium fit to host World Cup games in the modern era. "[but] it's important for us to support the city and as one of the country's most famous football clubs important for us to support the country's bid. "The World Cup is nine years away and we are determined to do everything we can to sort our stadium out."

It's been on Sky Sports that he's a transfer target but is likely to stay at Schalke. If the £7m fee is true, it's an even bigger cock up than expected in that he had a trial 2/3 years ago (presumably before signing for Aachen?).

A Ghanian was also on trial apparently.. Osei.. not sure if it was Ransford Osei.. the striker from the U17 World Cup.

I imagine that unless he has signed a new contract with Rubin Kazan, we are in talks. I don't know how he'd get a work permit though?

Just for historical purposes These are the alternative sites looked at by the club's advisers with their reasons prior to deciding on Kirkby. Some have been put there simply for the sake of it and there was never any chance of it going ahead (in my opinion, of course! ) Map - http://inquiry.knows...TEV_A1_app3.pdf

Hello mobi! Just so you know... toffeetalk is the best name for Everton forums EVER !

How many brownie points do I get for calling this two years early?

This might cause a bit of confusion... the 'trams' arn't actually trams like in the olden days, but 'light rail' and as far as I know they can use rail tracks providing there is an adequate electricity source. There's been some talk about re-branding Merseytram as "Merseyrail Lite" to avoid the confusion.

The rumours about this have re-emerged. Just bumping to the top to save creating a new thread.

Wow

I thought you were in the army Bill!?

Send a stamped addressed envelope containing a xmas card and a polite request to Moyesy at Finch Farm? He may be kind enough to oblige and fill it in for your brother. How about a stadium tour of Goodison ? Only £8.50
