Everton have received a petition from fans calling for an EGM into the club’s planned Kirby stadium project. The club are now comparing the names with those on the Share Register in order to ascertain whether the requisite 20% of shareholders are included in order to officially call an EGM.

However, there remains another doubt for the troubled scheme, as the governement may yet ‘call-in’ the proposal - which would lead to a huge delay and may effectively kill off the $400million project. Despite this, fans still want an EGM in order to air their concerns, as the Telegraph reported:

Shareholders spokesman Mark Grayson… “Our primary concern is that we feel that the club promised a world-class and effectively free stadium with the best transport links in the UK,” he said.

“We now know through the Tesco-led planning application that the stadium will only be of ‘mid-level quality’ that could add a further £78 million to the club’s existing debt. It is our intention to have a debate regardless of whether it gets called in or not.”
