EVERTON FC chief executive Robert Elstone last night spoke of his confidence the club can foot the bill for a new stadium in Kirkby despite the recession.
Robert Elstone’s statement came amid rumours the Secretary of State will announce his final decision on the Kirkby public inquiry at any moment.
Mr Elstone said he remained confident the club would move to a new stadium by 2012 if the Government ruled in their favour.
