      'Siamese stadium' in Liverpool?
      May 10, 2010 04:21:12 pm
      I have just come across this and it has to be the most fu**ed up things I have seen in the media to date..!!! :lmao: :lmao:
      but I hope it never comes of anything too..! :f_steam:

      Liverpool and Everton could share a revolutionary 'Siamese stadium' under new plans revealed by a business consortium.



      The Merseyside rivals would effectively have separate grounds in Stanley Park connected by a central spine housing collective facilities, according to proposals released to the Liverpool Echo.

      Mersey Stadia-Connex group, who are behind the idea, claim the design could save the clubs between £180m-£220m, while allowing them their own stadia.

      The blueprint proposes a 60,000-seater ground for Liverpool and a 50,000 capacity for Everton, to be completed as soon as 2013. The 10-story spine includes a 300-bed hotel, hospitality facilities, 150 executive boxes and a huge underground car park.

      A spokesman for the Mersey Stadia-Connex group said: "We need to reach the prospective new owners of Liverpool FC to inform them about this sensational investment opportunity.

      "Most fans will understand the many advantages and financial implications. This scheme differs from all previous concepts during the last decade in that we believe it manages to achieve all the clubs' objectives."

      However, an Everton spokesman sounded a sceptical note about the idea, telling the Liverpool Echo it was "unworkable, unaffordable and undeliverable".

      Liverpool announced a £55 million annual loss last week and have identified a move to a larger stadium as a key requirement to improve the club's finances.

      Their plans for a new ground in Stanley Park are on hold while co-owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks attempt to sell the club. Various proposals have put the stadium's capacity between 55,000 and 73,000. Anfield's current capacity is 45,362.

      A club spokesman said: “We remain committed to building our new stadium in Stanley Park.”

      Truthfully, I think it's a great idea... for clubs who don't share a rivalry.

      ;D, the bitters would be hearing You'll Never Walk Alone being sung whenever both teams play at the same time at home.

      And, I think it's a silly idea because, when both Liverpool and Everton play at home, surely there's going to massive traffic.

      60,000 for Liverpool and 50,000 for Everton. :lmao:

      In all seriousness though. If we would have two stadiums that close to each other, and we're never going to be at home at the same time don't forget, what is the f*cking point?

      I can imagine the brainstorming that went into that. . . ' well the clubs have rejected a joint stadium' . . . ' How about a disjointed stadium?' . . . ' Give that man a promotion! . . . . Hello is that the Liverpool city council? . . . We have a suggestion'

      Two teams in one city very, very rarely play at home on the same day.

      Don't like the idea. Daft.

      What we need is a 60-65000 seater potentially expandable to 75000 for the future. And a 'separate' stadium please. I'd warm to the conjoint-stadium plan only in a position like 'Holy F**k! Please don't shoot me, just gimmie the f***in twin bra-stadiums'. Shared stadium on the other strap, is out of debate as far as I am concerned

      The positives would be that Goodison mkII would be hidden from view of everyone by our own stadium.

      However, :lmao:
