One big problem with this ground share idea is actually filling it. Building a big stadium is fine but where's the fan base going to come from. Don't get me wrong Liverpool have one of the biggest supporter groups in football but most of them just like me don't live in Liverpool. Spend the money on building a tunnel under the Irish sea so I can get over every week instead of three times a year. The problem is one of economics, bring the people of Liverpool equity in their standard of living and Liverpool FC could fill Anfield four time over. The reds don't need to share with Everton it would work do the city councillors not know their history. They were once the same club now they are chalk and cheese. Hey what about a ground share with Tranmere, Southport or Blackpool. Man U could share with Arsenal and the all their fans would'nt have to travel. Before anyone says anything 'I know I'm A bit of a hypocrit here'.
