New Everton Stadium

https://www.theguardian.com/footbal...i-proposed-sites-new-stadium?CMP=share_btn_tw

Everton’s efforts to relocate from Goodison Park will gather pace on Friday when Farhad Moshiri, the club’s major shareholder, visits two proposed sites for a new stadium.

Moshiri is scheduled to lead an Everton delegation paying site visits to Bramley Moore Dock, the club’s preferred option on Liverpool’s waterfront, and Stonebridge Cross in Croxteth. The British-Iranian billionaire and Everton chairman Bill Kenwright have been in negotiations with Peel Holdings, owners of the dockland site, and Liverpool City Council over the club’s latest stadium proposal for several months.

Friday’s planned visits reflect the determination of the club and city council to reach a final decision, as Liverpool mayor Joe Anderson put it recently, “in a couple of months”. However, it remains for Everton to meet Peel’s financial demands for the Bramley Moore site before a breakthrough is made on the preferred option.

As revealed last month, Peel Holdings want in the region of £30m for the dockland site although negotiations over the final figure are on-going. Peel received planning permission for a £5.5bn redevelopment project for the north Liverpool docks in 2012 – with no stadium involved– but work has yet to commence on that scheme. Bramley Moore would require significant enabling works to take place before it could hold a new stadium whereas the second choice of Stonebridge Cross is ready for development.

Mayor Anderson is understood to be in favour of Everton relocating to the waterfront site, with the club having missed the opportunity to build a stadium in another prime location at King’s Dock in 2003. Liverpool city council announced only this week plans to transform ten streets near the north docks into a ‘Cultural Enterprise Industry Hub’ and a multi-million pound investment to improve road works in that area is underway.

As stated many times we have an agreement reached in mid August to acquire BM, Nelson and further land but that is subject to planning permission.

It makes total commercial sense to look at the alternative. Whilst I don't expect any planning problems it is not 100% guaranteed.

"Share Liverpool FC" it was called, populated by a load of luvvies and academics who were asking for £5,000 donations, This is how it failed:http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/were-still-after-fair-share-3388917

The initial rush to sign up led to their website crashing and among those to commit was Reds legend John Aldridge, but the dream failed to materialise.

I love it when davek posts, the joy he writes with, you just can't help be uplifted and positive about the future :p

I suppose it's good to stay grounded (no pun intended) but least there is movement for all to see, I don't think Farhad would be publicly seen visiting sites then say we're staying at goodison. Under Bill the closest we came to seeing a new site for a potential ground was at Tesco's HQ with a begging bowl.

Clutching at straws. You don't visit two sites on the same day if you're not actively comparing the two. If SBC was a fall back, why visit both sites in one day? In fact, why is Mosh visiting BM at all if it's all signed up?

It could be a negotiating ploy to push a deal with Peel over the line, but it's too obvious for that. It probably means we are not as far down the line as we'd hoped, but who knows........

It's called keeping the plate spinning. I dont doubt the feller is seriously looking and probing. It's in his business model for Everton, so why wouldn't he?

I just dont buy the 'imminent' announcement malarkey.

Seen it, heard it, got the t-shirt(s).
