Should Everton and Liverpool Share a Stadium?
Recent comments by the leader of Liverpool City Council will test suggest that Everton and Liverpool sharing a new stadium in the city. Several economic advantages of a truism that the Council wants a new stadium in major cities to host the Games in 2018 World Cup in England should host the tournament. But both teams are very skeptical of this idea with Everton going ahead with plans for a stadium in Kirkby, outside the city and Liverpool is still willing to desecrate their new Stanley Park ground. However, Everton's plans have yet to receive the green light and Liverpool owners are quickly running out of money provided, so a transaction can be considered, despite the feelings of the club and fans. Sports fans are very protective of its stages and very few want to share. Even if it happens in cities around the world most of the fan club with a long history and rivalry are particularly reluctant to move with his "mortal enemy". Despite their rivalry is not as poisonous as many others, most supporters of Everton and Liverpool draw the line of the idea of sharing a house. Everton Goodison Park Anfield Liverpool are separated by Stanley Park, which acts as an oasis of peace between the sports of outbreaks of both cities. Everton are the team's oldest cities and the founding members of the Football League. Not much to know that Everton spent eight years playing at Anfield 1884-92 and even won their first championship in the ground in 1891. But the land owner, John Houlding, had raised the annual rent of € 100 to 250 pounds per year causing Everton to move in 1882 to what became at Goodison Park. Houlding responded by forming a new club, AFC Liverpool, and they charge £ 100 a year to play at Anfield. Goodison soon became the first major football ground in England. In 1890, a crowd of 30,000 were not uncommon against Everton at a time that these appearances were considered large. The land has continued to host the FA Cup Final 1894 and 1910 FA Cup Final Replay. Goodison Park continued to develop with a stand designed by renowned stadium architect Archibald Leitch. The largest crowd the stadium was 78,299 for a match with Liverpool in 1948. Goodison has been chosen to host the matches of the 1966 World Cup including a quarter final and semi final. Anfield has also grown into an important stage with the standing Kop terrace became famous in the world of football. His record of 61,905 crowns came in a FA Cup tie against Wolverhampton in 1952. With the arrival of all places being both basic skills have declined in recent years. Everton can only get 40,000 in the Liverpool Goodison and the limit is around 45,000. Both stadiums are surrounded by residential areas with a limit of only expanding, therefore, plans to move. But the days in which to do the will to be sad for the devotees of a team.
