with todays Echo reporting that Everton are going to move to Kirkby, i think the need for new songs or amended songs might be needed.

 

Blues sign Tesco deal

Dec 11 2006

Exclusive By Dominic King, Liverpool Echo

 

 

EVERTON Football Club have signed an exclusive deal towards the building of a new stadium in Kirkby.

 

The Blues have agreed that the move four miles from Goodison is now their preferred option, and have reached formal agreement with Knowsley council and Tesco to start the project.

 

The news of the deal will be formally announced to shareholders tonight at the club's AGM at Goodison Park, the Blues home for 114 years.

 

If the scheme goes ahead it would not only provide Everton with a world-class venue but would also mean a multi-million pound regeneration of Kirkby.

 

It is hoped the three-way partnership with Tesco and Knowsley will keep costs of building the venue to an absolute minimum.

 

 

However,the club, which has made no comment on today's agreement, will tonight emphasis the fact that no final decision on moving has been taken.

 

Above all, the Blues will stress their supporters will be fully involved during negotiation and discussion, and well before any final decision to quit Goodison.

 

Although the project is only in its infancy, if it was to be adopted and completed, the centrepiece would be a state-of-the-art stadium for the Blues, a world class venue which would hold at least 50,000 people.

 

Though they would ideally have preferred to have remained within the Liverpool city boundary, it is believed the as-yet undisclosed potential stadium site stands less than four miles from Goodison as the crow flies.

 

Despite recent talk of a move to Kirkby, Everton have always maintained there were three options open - a new, stand-alone stadium, a shared stadium with Liverpool FC, or the rebuilding of Goodison.

 

With Liverpool now close to concluding a huge investment deal with Dubai and the cost of regenerating Goodison believed to be prohibitively high, Blues chairman Bill Kenwright and his fellow directors arethought to have opted for a move away from the club's much-loved home.

So they've signed an exclusive deal and reached a formal agreement but still say this...

they get funnier and funnier - it was their only option. Stopped from free-loading on our backs they've now had to get their fingers out and earn their own money.

As I recall, four miles from Woodison would mean they are supposedly building on the old Croxteth Bus Station on the East Lancs. If they build in the most logical place to fit in a new wooden stadium and a Tesco's hypermarket - Towerhill, on the north western edge of Kirkby, they will be closer to 8-9 miles from Woodison at least.

 

That's a fair bit on from North Wales :)

When I was growing up in Kirkby though, it was perdominantly a Reds place. A new Blues stadium should provide a cheap source of firewood for some years.

That would make more sense, as the city boundary is at Moorgate Road, the entrance road from the lancs to Kirkby.

You see he's something else to love about the blues. It's been brilliant since he's taken over and we get all his lovey antics on the telly - i think he's funny as f*** and they fall for his drama queen stuff all the time.

it's funny, when i was younger they didn't bother me at all. ok, i wanted them to lose every week, but really as long as we were above them come may, i was not too fussed what happened with them. but somehow through their relentless bitterness of the 90's, i'm getting as bitter as them and i really enjoy watching them make absolute t*** out of themselves, week in week out. even the derby this season, when you should be gutted, they even lightened the mood then with that non-league/rugby/loser wool/no-mark "cheerio" song they sung. it was comical and it actually made what should have been a bad day bearable .. knowing no matter what happens, at least we're not them!
