Everton respond to '50 per cent' claim over new stadium costs

Everton say that there has been no change in the costs for the construction of their new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.

The Blues will leave Goodison Park, their home since 1892, to take up residence in their new 52,888-seater home on the banks of the River Mersey from the start of the 2024/25 season, the project having been central to owner Farhad Moshiri's plans to grow the football club he acquired in 2016.

The cost for the project has been pegged at around £505m by sources close to the club, with the club having moved to fix costs with the firm responsible for the construction of the stadium, Laing O'Rourke, early last year. Fixing costs was a way of shielding the club from some of the rising costs of construction, particularly steel, related to Russia's military invasion of Ukraine.
