Liverpool get groundshare request

Liverpool's new owners Tom Hicks and George Gillette have been asked by city council leaders to look again at sharing their new stadium with Everton.

The American tycoons want to make Liverpool's proposed new stadium bigger than the planned 60,000-capacity.

Liverpool have always ruled out sharing with Everton but council leader Warren Bradley wants them to reconsider.

He told the Liverpool Echo: "If they can consider an increase in size, why can't they consider a shared stadium?"

Liverpool have yet to confirm the decision to suspend preparatory work on the £215m project in Stanley Park, but have revealed a review will be undertaken.

I would be happy with a joint stadium, I've got to be honest, but my gut feeling is probably not

And Bradley, a Blues season-ticket holder, feels Hicks and Gillette could be persuaded to allow Everton to share the new ground.

He added: "They have got their guys (Dallas firm HKS) looking at designs, infrastructure and everything.

"Are you telling me a commercial business in America doesn't sweat the asset? They sweat that asset until they can't get any more out of it.

Everton are considering moving to a new site outside Liverpool in Kirkby but Bradley also thinks redeveloping their current home Goodison Park should not be ruled out.

"I think in a few years' time they'll be playing in a new stadium and I think it will be in Liverpool," Bradley explained.

"I would be happy with a joint stadium, I've got to be honest, but my gut feeling is probably not.

"I don't see any reason why Goodison Park can't be redeveloped. You could quite easily fit an additional footprint and some commercial activity - a hotel, for example - into a new development."

This quote just really sums up how thick and stupid he is

"If they can consider increasing the stadium size, why can’t they consider a shared stadium?”

but if it could save the yanks 100 million, would they think about it?

Bradley can go and stick his bluesh!te head up his rather large ring piece , not in a million years. The tw@t has seen we are now moving forward and he wants us to drag the bitters with us . NOT A CHANCE THIS WILL HAPPEN.

In 2 seasons time Liverpool will be so far in front of Everton in all departments of football and buisness that we might aswell be on outher planets. Bradly is a scruffy everton fan who just whants his club to feed on the scraps of our future sucsess. the thought of us sharing a stadium with them makes us sick. The place would proberly stink of p.iss as sune as they had there first game. :angry:

Love the analogy. Totally agree with everyone's sentiments on this one, this idea can only be proposed by someone with no clue whatsoever about football and what it means to be a true supporter.
