Groundshare?

[Guest Joaquin]

Saw this on Talklfc:

 

As a news reporter for talklfc, I was told to keep my ear to the ground, and my nose to the grindstone. And although my nostrils look like table tennis bats, and my ear really hurts, I have uncovered news that will stun most Liverpool supporters - we are going to share a stadium with Everton.

 

How did I find this out? Well, I decided to stalk .... I mean I casually bumped into a famous local football journo in a pub. For obvious reasons, I cannot name him - so I will just call him Bhris Cascombe.

 

I managed to corner Mr Cascombe in the bar, and blew my whole years 'talklfc expense account' on getting him drunk. However, half a lager didn't quite do it, so I dipped into my own cash and got him slaughtered.

 

He then informed me of a conversation he had recently had with (again, I must cunningly mask the persons true identity) ... Prick 'Arry. Apparently, Prick told Bhris that another high-ranking LFC official - lets call him Mavis Dorred - has been secretly talking to the 'Everton FC Supporters Club' (otherwise known as the 'Liverpool City Council') about a joint stadium venture with the Blue-Noses. And it is now set to go ahead!

 

Details are sketchy, but Bris did say that a new, 70,000 seater Arena will be built in Speke. Well, he actually said that the new 70,000 seater Speke will be built in Arena - methinks Mr Jack Daniels was now doing most of the talking ... I asked him if a corperate sponsor was involved, but Bhris said Prick had assured him that was not the case. Mavis had informed Prick that the proposed 'Coca Cola Arena' was just coincidentaly linked to an alcohol-free fizzy drink. Bris then started laughing, blurting out - 'I told Prick that if it's named after an alcohol-free fizzy drink, we should call it the 'Carlsberg Arena'. Prick didn't get the joke either apparently.

 

I asked Bhris wether there would be seperate trophy rooms. He informed me Prick had said the original plans did include a joint trophy room, but the janitor had said he wanted a small cupboard to store his broom, so the Everton section had to be moved - even though the janitor did say he could still fit in their trophies in behind his brasso.

 

By now, Bhris was giggling uncontrollably - something about Coke coming up with a new a new flat drink called 'Everton-Cola' - It has no sparkle and it goes down easily' he laughed. I took this opportunity to leave - my work here was done.

 

 

God! no!!

Anyone know any truth in that story or was it just a joke??

The bit about the broom cupboard made me feel it was true

Everton couldn't fill a 70k ground if they gave tickets away.

but definitely true, although some of the details may be a bit cavalier

Cavalier? That's such a pile of total crap that it's a 3 litre Granada with a vinyl roof and extra headlights!

I suspect that both clubs would lose a hell of a lot of fans going to the game if it came to pass.

They would, and it won't - so panic over mate.

[Sion]

can't think of one thing that would actually make me turn off what i feel about the club..

 

Nazi's buying the majority stake in the club?

Only went the once so far as records show - typical bloody gloryhunter.
