Everton announce new home will be called Hill dingdonginson Stadium. Guardian article suggests 10m a year, which is basically nothing.

I thought that hypothetically if we ever got a new stadium sponsor we could get £20m a year? Or am I wrong?

I thought the yearly amount was lower because it would be for 10-15 years

Goes to show how nonsensical Cities self sponsorship deal is though.

I was born in Fulham and they were the first ground i went to as a kid, at that time that side of the ground was open and there were several occasions during games when the ball was kicked over that side and ended up in the Thames. Thr club had to employ a guy in a punt who would sit on the river and collect that balls that ended up in the water. I kid you not.

Interesting fact...

However, with sailing clubs having a right to the wind that blows through the stadium onto the Thames, Populous couldn’t fill in the corners as is customary with modern stadia

That's an old vid. There's another tier of seating to go in. And a roof.

It's just a light makeover. It's all very basic. Still not finished with the top tier, which will increase capacity from around 95k to 105k, and add a roof around the whole stadium, although that won't be finished until 2027 (being Spain, that's obviously also going to be delayed).

I don't know they're crackin' on with this little number up the road..........
