Is the Stoke game really already sold out? Thought it wasnt on general sale until tomorrow? I bought the club membership, but its not giving me the option to buy tickets at all, never mind on early release. Anyone know if thats a temporary bug or have 40,000 tickets just gone already? Seems...

The man is so reliable England have called him up to their Test cricket squad! Oh, Batty. Gareth Batty.

Still, worth a comprehensive booing

...but that's exactly what I'm holding against him

Its a real shame that we've already had Spurs at home this season, otherwise we could have given the chap a good old fashioned Boo'ing

"watch this space" 'kof Jim

I had this ready and all... Suppose its surplus to requirements now, so I may as well discard it here

and I believe some of his first signings at Ajax were Christian Poulsen and Ryan Babel...

With Ellstone around, I think we may have a decent chance of getting our deal accepted. Time to start another Just Giving page

I'd agree that we'd have to be careful about preserving the waterfront's heritage, but the truth is the UNESCO status isn't a prerequisite for that- they have no legal power in decision making- that's more dependent on the council. UNESCO are there to advise, warn and set regulations- but they...

I'm all for paving over the Adelphi. Proper dump.

If redeveloping Goodison is as unlikely an option as its being made out to be, then I'd at least like our new stadium to be the Goodison Remix. Sack the corregated iron cladding, but I want the pitch really close to the fans, the Leitch design around the ground, and I wouldn't even mind the...

Dodge a running track at all costs. Half our players would faint at the sight of one.

And we can bring back the overhead railway whilst we're at it!

Can't see both coexisting. Stadium or WHS it would have to be, but the council are practically about to jib the WHS status off anyway- maybe Joe sees that happening sooner rather than later

Limited options spatially with it being on the water front. If the new stadium was to the North of the city you'd have to build back towards the city centre, as thats where the majority of travelling fans would be coming from. Building transport infrastructure on the edge of the city is somewhat...

The blue majority like it ;)

No huge grants as far as I know, otherwise you could make a strong case for keeping it. Just a lot of public support for the city's heritage which isn't trusted with the city council at the moment, and you can see why (take the planned demolition of the Futurist for example). In theory it should...

I'm not sure getting rid of the WH site would be that catastrophic, to be honest. It has done good stuff for us in the last decade with tourism, but today its just seen as an irritating hurdle for city planners. Suppose it contributes to 'civic pride' and all that, but yeah waterfront...

Yes @Julius Geezer and many in the city, including big Joe are pushing to get rid of the UNESCO WH Status as they see it as holding back the city's future developments. From the research I've done with them, there are active and ongoing attempts within the council to look beyond the UNESCO...
