should everton and liverpool look at share a new ground ala how it works in milano?

Don't see why not

They don't actually hate each other unlike, uh, some teams from the same cities

'former big club' stadium

Is it still true that they don't hate each other? I heard that there was increasing bad blood the past few years. Also, are derby games still unsegregated?

As for the stadium, I think Liverpool should redevelop Anfield. Turning it sideways was potentially a terrific idea, they already own most of the buildings around it, and what they don't own can't be worth much, let's face it.

So up to Everton, really. If they wanted to move in that'd be fine and would make sense financially I guess, there can't be great demand for multiple stadia in Liverpool, unlike London. That said, I can't imagine they'd want to, and tbh I don't understand what's so wrong with Goodison - it looks great, at least on the telly (I've never been).

so I went for option #2

Fuck no.

fuck no

this is one of those areas where ex nihilo rationalism doesnt work

like yeah american gun laws might not be ideal but they are formed by a particular context that cannot be willed away

liverpool is not milan, ppl arent going to forget their affinities just cuz it makes financial sense

Seriously though, no idea.

Is it still true that they don't hate each other? I heard that there was increasing bad blood the past few years. Also, are derby games still unsegregated?

Yeah, apparently not the 'friendly derby' it used to be, but, I don't know to be honest. I've never been to a Derby, so I've no idea what the atmosphere's like on a match day and how/if it differs to the usual banter you get. I have mates who are Evertonians and I get on fine with them! Derbies are segregated by the way.

fuck no

doesnt the san siro get destroyed come winter 'cos of weekly matches anyway?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

timing

So Liverpool are going ahead with Stanley Park, on the nine-year-old plans again. I rather liked the Hicks & Gillette plans, this seems a shame.

Not sure if this is definite yet is it?

Will it ever be definite? It was reported yesterday as if it was a final decision (for now), and that they're now going out to seek funding. They've given up on redeveloping Anfield, too many insurmountables. Advantages are that this is £100m cheaper than the H&G design, and that H&G already broke ground so the old planning permission still applies. The interior can be upgraded to modern standards apparently, though we're stuck with the exterior as per the old planning permission.

Of course, this means the grounds will be even closer together.

The impression I had was that naming rights aren't anywhere near to being finalised, which means any decision on the stadium will still be some way away right? Just a bit surprised because I wasn't expecting any news for a while, but if things are moving along then fair enough.

Telegraph piece. It's being reported as the final decision, but it's also as you say. 'Final decision' as regards seeking funding, but nothing's final 'til it's actually built, maybe.

So Liverpool are going ahead with Stanley Park redeveloping Anfield, on the nine-year-old thirteen-year-old plans again. I rather liked the Hicks & Gillette plans, but this seems a shame like the right move tbh.

some David Conn handwringing here

looks like they're sharing away kits

No Fellaini in the Everton ad, you'd think they'd feature their best player if he's going to be hanging around to wear the thing.

yeah but

Ugh. No wonder he left.

David Conn gets his poster boys - the four private landlords who own eight houses round Anfield and are refusing to consider a sale, instead holding out for half-a-million. Using the arguments Conn's been pushing of late.

The Guardian are leading with Pep's press conference today.
