the original groundshare quote

 

Here is the link.

 

http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/archivedirs...070206-1258.htm

 

There were reports you were interested in a ground share…

 

Tom Hicks: I can categorically say we have no interest in a ground share with any other team. We are going to build the finest team for the finest stadium in the Premier League and that is Liverpool.

 

George Gillett: I don't know how this story got started. It didn't get started with us. I look forward to meeting the officials from Everton some day because we are both in this wonderful city, but I have never authorised anyone to talk or act on our behalf relative to the possibility of ground sharing. I have no idea where this has come from. It was not true and we can categorically deny it.

 

The first time I met Rick Parry I asked him the question and that's the only time I can recall the topic coming up. He looked me in the eye and said that if I ever brought that topic up in a serious way again then I could have his resignation because he wouldn't be involved with or support that kind of discussion. That was very clear and so the subject never came up again from our side.

 

More recently someone close to the club said that if the topic did come up then it was the surest way possible for us to be lynched.

 

We want to build the greatest facility for the players and the fans and make this the best location for players to play and for fans to come.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

possible lynching and parry resignation on the way - god bless the bluenoses for trying to raise the issue again :-D

 

and the end result - still no groundshare.

TOM HICKS today hit back at claims Liverpool could be willing to share a stadium with Everton.

 

Reports today suggested Liverpool’s American owners might be ready to change their stance on a ground share at the behest of North West Development Agency chief executive Steve Broomhead.

 

But Hicks insists a shared stadium is not on Liverpool’s agenda and has no interest in even considering it.

 

He also dismissed speculation that a meeting is scheduled with the NWDA to discuss the matter, as did Broomhead himself who revealed the talks which are due to take place with representatives of Kop Holdings next week will not include discussions about the possibility of Liverpool and Everton moving in together.

 

A spokesman for Hicks told the ECHO: “There is no interest in a shared stadium and no planned meeting to discuss this.”

 

Broomhead will hold talks with Kop Holdings next Friday in a bid to clarify funding issues over Liverpool’s planned new stadium on Stanley Park.

 

The original plans for Liverpool’s £300m ground included building work to begin last year, but the scheme was revised and the construction start delayed.

 

Now, as the credit crunch on both sides of the Atlantic continues to bite, the NWDA is seeking an update on Liverpool’s plans.

 

The agency has pledged to provide funding for important improvements to community facilities surrounding the new ground.

 

Broomhead said: “The meeting is to update me on where Liverpool FC and Kop Holdings are with the plans to fund the new stadium.

 

“I want to clarify where the funding is for the new Anfield.”

 

Broomhead is also closely involved with Everton’s controversial proposed move from Goodison to Kirkby, which is being funded by supermarket giant Tesco but subject to vehement objections from neighbouring local authorities and retailers.

 

However, he denied that the subject of a shared stadium by the two clubs which is favoured by Liverpool council leader Warren Bradley but rejected by both Everton and Liverpool is on next Friday’s agenda.

 

Broomhead, who confirmed that neither Hicks nor George Gillett will attend the briefing, said: “I am only interested in the economic benefits of improved sports facilities for Merseyside.”

 

Everton chief executive Keith Wyness also poured cold water on the speculation, saying: “I can categorically state that a shared stadium is not on the agenda of either club.”

Does it indicate that Everton aren't going to get permission for Kirkby?

They do seem to be facing an uphill task with that one. As a Kirkbyite myself i always had the impression that the majority of the place was Red - (KAMF may or may not agree - it would be interesting to get his view) and so I always thought it was a weird choice.

 

If they were relocating to Buckley or Mold they would have no problem, mind.

I have a lot of regard for the stance that SOS are taking, but surely they must know something more about the groundshare possibility than some bit of opportunism from Broomhead?

Good to see him 'slam' the reports.

 

'Quashing' simply wouldnt do.

 

He wasn't the only one.

 

"Everton chief executive Keith Wyness also poured cold water on the speculation, saying: “I can categorically state that a shared stadium is not on the agenda of either club.”

 

Why do some government types persists in starting this crap? All it does is rile up both sets of supporters. And some over react at the first bit of media bullstuff.
