Liverpool Daily Post.co.uk - Everton FC - Everton FC News - New Siamese stadium plan for Liverpool and Everton football clubs unveiled

A LOCAL business consortium today unveiled a “Siamese stadium” to house both Liverpool and Everton football clubs.

The proposals show two grounds standing side by side in Stanley Park sharing one “central spine” wall.

The Mersey Stadia-Connex group, which is behind the idea, believes the “Siamese-style” blueprint could save the clubs between £180m and £220m.

They argue it would allow both Liverpool and Everton to maintain separate stadiums – but the unique design will hugely reduce overall costs.

Images reveal a two-sided, ten-level central hub, with a 60,000 ground capacity for Liverpool and 50,000 for Everton.

Both stadia, the consortium say, could be extended to accommodate an extra 10,000 fans with work completed by 2013.

The scheme includes a 300-bed hotel, complete corporate and hospitality facilities, 150 executive boxes, and an underground car park with 1,350 spaces.

The central spine entrance features an atrium and hotel tower extending four storeys above the stadium roof.

Around 200 of the 300 hotel bedrooms face the pitch, and also twin as executive boxes with balconies.

Representatives from Mersey Stadia-Connex are understood to have communicated on a number of occasions, once face-to-face, with senior Everton FC bosses.

However, publicly, the Blues dismissed the plan, denying any contact with the group and describing the scheme as “unworkable, unaffordable and undeliverable”.

Liverpool FC were sent copies of the plans but have made no contact with Mersey Stadia-Connex.

The least they could have done is make it look like a pair of stolen hubcabs from above.

One day they will see sense and build a single stadium that will be the envy of the Premiership.

I didn't think Liverpool could become anymore of a joke than they currently are. If they take this up then evidentially I was wrong

I thought Luton's idea of a stadium with a Formula One race track around it was the most ridiculous one I'd heard, but this is even more far fetched.

About as likely as us moving to Waterhall.

[ben andrews' girlfriend]

Why don't they just build a massive stadium instead? Surely that makes sense?!

 

[Twinkle Toes]

Oh good grief!

 

[Bear Grylls]

Never seen anything so stupid in my life!
