New Everton Stadium

Many people get coaches to the game or drive because it is far cheaper than public transport. People from Wales or the Midlands aren't suddenly going to start taking trains when they drive and split the petrol.

Goodison is not difficult to get to on public transport at all. Stanley Park alone holds 1000 cars and is very busy every match day. Those cars are not going to disappear with a stadium on the docks.

You've also ignored the space issue. Clarence dock does not have the construction potential that BM combined with Nelson does.

I'm curious though, as to why you think Clarence dock would be 'de facto city centre' when BM is less than half a mile away ? If we were to build on Nelson also it's about a seven minute walk from one site to the other.

*six, according to Google

Our fan base is hugely local, unlike another team in L4. Public transport is obviously better in the city centre than around Walton. People will be encouraged to use it by virtue of this, whereas at the moment they are discouraged as it is not good around GP. How many parts of the city have a direct bus to Walton? How many have a direct bus route to the city centre? In cases where it is essential, car parking will not be an issue given the abundance of it in the city centre and the potential for more (if it is decided to) along the dock road. Moreover, lots of businesses along Great Howard Street and Regent Road would be willing to earn a few bob renting out their carpark spaces. Much as is the case around Old Trafford and Wembley. CD is closer to the city centre at the moment as to be minutes walk away. Once a 60,000 stadium is built and the dead space back filled with new development it is part of the city centre. Pretty much the same happened to the Albert Dock which was out on a limb until Liverpool One was built.

When I was a wee lad walking up priory seeing Goodison park lit up by the four pylons always made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up and feeling butterflies in the pit of my stomach, when I eventually walk up the dock rd to our new stadium I want that same feeling don't care what shape it is I just want that feeling again it was magical. For me magical is the word, they have to deliver that magical stadium.

I'm sure whatever the stadium looks like the feeling will be just that. Not many people get to go to the first match in a new stadium, just imagine the lads who went to Goodison on opening day and watched it go from strength to strength.

We know it's not going to be the cock up that is wham's patch, so walking to it and seeing out in to arena for the first time I'm sure all these lists of what it must have will vanish into the sea air. It will be our home and we'll love it.

Clarence Dock is 30 minutes walk from the centre of town.

It's a nice comment but it's not really backed up by fact. A YouGov poll recently showed over 50 percent of our supporters weren't local and that there were 13 prem clubs with more concentrated local fan bases.
