New Everton Stadium Discussion

[The binman chronicles]

If I opened a laundromat, I reckon I could finance this build myself.

They don't bother washing their sheets, it would be a waste of time as it would be soiled again the very next minute.

Well, that's scuppered my business plan entirely.

I've blocked this Davek guy, but I am picking up that he is now saying that we are doomed if we don't get the stadium - having spent two years saying the stadium was a pipe dream that would never happen, or if it does happen it will ruin us financially.

Does that about sum it up? ?

 

[degsy]

I'll say this: if - as looks likely - this new stadium doesn't get built, we are finished as a top flight club.

Not just revenue wise but also morale wise and the dashing of the dreams of a generation of fans.

We are going to be floored by any decision to mothball this. It was our only feasible way forward and if it's denied us then we will fall away dramatically and tumble through the divisions.

This could be the beginning of the end for us.

I gave you an 'unsure' - because its all up in the air, but it won't be the best thing that ever happened to the club.

I hope you are right. 3 months ago I’d of laughed if anyone suggested this would fail .

I did regularly especially at @davek bless him! The biter bit(maybe!?)

This is as Uzzy would say "on Ze Money"

 

[degsy]

its being built, end of

You're right, as of now it is being built
Finished though? - not if the money runs out as a consequence of the Usmanov thing.

The BBC were outside goodison last night, they must be lapping it up .

Probably still reporting on how that City hand ball has ruined Liverpools chances

I don't think the transport details are sketchy at all. There are designated taxi ranks (we have a huge number of black hackney cabs for a city of our size). There are plans in place for special buses from various points, including the city centre and Bootle. Regards parking, there are plenty of businesses around about who will be more than happy to earn a few quid from renting out their car park spaces, particularly for night games and Sunday games. And that is without mentioning trains. Sure, for a capacity of 80,000 might be different. I just don't see any problems getting there or getting away for 50,000. it's all opinions now of course. All will be revealed.

Box-ticking mentions of taxi ranks and a few shuttle buses is not really a transport plan. The transport strategy docs in the planning application are essentially outline non-technical documents (and are titled as such). They do reference analysis docs. Similar documents were posted for Destination Kirkby and were subsequently completely rubbished in the public inquiry....... even after multiple revisions when their analysis docs were leaked.

According to the club's documents it estimated that there are something like 5-8k Car parking spaces within a 30 minute walk of BMD(depending on day of the week). Apparently Goodison has over 10k within the same walking distance and far more traffic lanes and established bus routes serving the site from all sides, within shorter distances. It was stated during the consultation that the new stadium would need a significant modal shift to public transport but this is not well covered in those docs at all. Hence the reason why I described them as sketchy.

Moshiri is worth 3 billion, can't see a problem and he won't pay for it all, not enough positivity on this site

Surprising they are not reporting the story from Analfield.

 

[Dr Baxter]

Reading Davek's machinations about BMD over the last couple of years, I am reminded of Matt Lucas's skit of Johnson giving advice out about social distancing early in in the pandemic.

It'll be fine, you'll see. If it's not, I'll give you a piggy back or lend you my pogo stick.

Pogo stick seals it.
