*Shakes head* Everton again.


Fugitive

But but we built Anfield....

 

Everton originally played in the southeast corner of Stanley Park. The first official match took place in 1879. In 1882, a man named J. Cruitt donated land at Priory Road which became the club's home.

 

In 1884 Everton became tenants at Anfield, which was owned by John Orrell, a land owner who was a friend of Everton F.C. member John Houlding. Orrell lent Anfield to the club in exchange for a small rent.

 

Houlding purchased the land from Orrell in 1885 and effectively became Everton's landlord by charging the club rent, which increased from £100 to £240 a year by 1888 – and was still rising until Everton left the ground in 1892.  The club regarded the increase in rent as unacceptable.

I posted a question on Twitter last year (tagging in GOT, WSAG, etc) asking whether any of them were worried about climate change leading to more severe and more frequent storms (a process which has already started and is expected to accelerate in the next couple of decades), leading to more cancellations in such a vulnerable location, leading to fixture congestion every year, meaning it will be harder for them to win anything. 

 

I got one response. 

 

From a climate change denier.

This will be a genuine issue for them and the city as a whole (I.e. increasing intensity of storms and sea level rise), a significant amount of investment is going to be required for sea wall defences etc. In the non-too-distant future, which looking at their designs hasn't been factored in.

Which raises the question... how have they got 5,000 unsold kits they can't shift?

 

They are shite at everything. 

Didn't the sponsorship with sportspeso get suddenly changed/dropped. That must have left them with a fair few shirts they couldn't shift.

There are plans for a Mersey tidal barrier which is being dealt with out of the Metro Mayor’s office.
