Nelson Dock

It'd surley be height restricted. You dont pay £750M for a view of a hotel.

Aye aye, celebrating Paddy’s Day early Dave?

As Joni Mitchell once said, “They’ve gone and sold paradise and put up a parking lot” ..

She obviously never went to a tailgate party.

Would imagine the reason for wanting to buy it is to stop anybody else from buying and filling it in to build a sky scraper (or whatever)

Chong said why they are buying it.
"For a new sporting development"

I.e. they want to put an indoor arena there

Like that block of flats near The Dell

Best view in (or rather out of) the ground

Floating Hot Wok would be nice!

They’ve already bought a block over the road for a restaurant and hotel.

Can we dare to dream of a ferry terminal by the dockers clock?

He didn’t say that. He said “sports-led redevelopment.”

What point he was trying to make is a little unclear from the quotes.

Firstly, referring to the stadium and associated development in Liverpool:

“We are at least five years ahead of any other competitor, for my mind, any spare cash from central government should be going to support development in Liverpool, before it goes anywhere else, because it is an oven-ready opportunity for sports-led redevelopment.”

So he’s introduced the term “sports-led redevelopment” there to refer to the wider regeneration with the stadium as the anchoring catalyst.

He then went on to say:

“Our new ownership has tasked me with looking for a sports-led redevelopment that could be accommodated on Nelson Dock, and maybe even further if we can get the right partners to invest.

He’s using the same term there. I think by sports-led he’s again referring to the stadium being the thing that’s leading the associated redevelopment.

I don’t think there’s going to be another indoor arena on Liverpool’s waterfront. I don’t think this is evidence of that, anyway.

Surely we want things that make money - I don't get peoples preoccupation with a ferry service.
Can people please declare how often they've used it in the past decade.

Yes, I was told they will call it the Hot Dock

could build a nice shiny car park in there which accommodates 50,000 people

That could be a bad business move as on match days the road to get there is closed for traffic.
