Everton chairman Bill Kenwright has again raised the possibility of a ground-sharing scheme with arch-rivals Liverpool, suggesting that the move could be mutually beneficial for both football clubs.
The idea was first discussed back in 2004 despite considerable opposition among both sets of football fans, but Liverpool abandoned the plan after winning permission to construct a 60,000-seater ground in Stanley Park - work on which has yet to start.
Former Liverpool player and manager Kenny Dalglish said in a recent column for the Mail on Sunday that although a shared stadium would not be "ideal", it may be the most practical solution for both parties.
"I am intrigued about what Kenny Dalglish has had to say about ground-sharing," Kenwright told ESPN. "It is more than likely we would sit down and have a descent discussion about ground-sharing in Stanley Park with Liverpool."
His comments came just days after the Liverpool Echo reported that Everton had submitted proposals to the local council over a £9 million retail and corporate hospitality development at Goodison Park.
