STADIUM CALLED-IN

Published: Wednesday, 6 August 2008, 18:29


Club Statement re proposed relocation to Kirkby
We are disappointed by the decision. Having spent more than two years working diligently on a project which would not only provide Everton Football Club with a new home but also regenerate Kirkby, we had hoped to avoid a Government call-in.
Indeed, it was only in June that Knowsley Borough Council’s Planning Committee voted by a majority of 20-1 to grant planning permission.
We shall now engage in detailed discussions with our development partners, KBC and Tesco, to assess what options are open to us.
It is important to stress that this decision does not spell the end of the Destination Kirkby project – but it will, self-evidently, precipitate a period of reflection, assessment and re-evaluation.

I am glad that at least a decision has been made. How the minority can influence the majority I think, but the question is what happens now. A phyrric "victory".
 
Really don't know what to say other than this had the chance to be a good thing for Everton and now it seems like it's not going to go through if I understand this correctly.

Interesting turn of events.

Kenwright's biggest mistake here wasn't the proposed move but letting the fans have a say to begin with.
 

Well i used to be against the Kirkby move, but i did start to want to move to kirkby in the past couple of weeks, its makes sense, so i am abit dissappointed...Hopefully Tesco and Everton can find a new place to build a stadium, with help of the council, but i think the partnership will come to a close...

It's hard to imagine anyone wanting to invest in the club with this news.

They will but will expect it to be reflected in the asking price.I think the likes of Earle and Green will jump ship as they were only ever after a quick gain(y)
 
As I have said all along. All it will mean is it will cost the club more money. They will still proceed, simply as there is no alternative.

Well done KEIOC... you played a part in costing the club a significant amount of money.
