New Everton Stadium

All the assumptions of course are that Moshiri is visiting SC (if he indeed is) for reasons of Football stadiums.

I don't know if he is or he isn't by the way.
 

Saying he is visiting Stonebridge Cross is probably a Red Echo inspired line that has been thrown in to give the whoppers across the Park a little hope and as a slight concession to the Government of Norway who are not sure that they are environmentally prepared for the flow of all those kopite tears on top of rising seas levels from melting Iceflows in the Scandinavian regions.

Why would he visit SC if we have bought that docks site already

It all seems like a PR job to me. Like what is he going to find out tomorrow that he wouldnt already know already?

Reckon the decision is made, just going through the motions to give the impression he "has fully considered all options after personally visiting both sites"

Lets just hope its where we all want it to be.
 

Perhaps the Council are not comfortable with the public health issues ( re having the stadium and a sewerage plant cheek by jowl). Is that why they are 'enforcing' SC as the new site.?
Have they said anything about it being used for the Commonwealth Games? I am not a big fan of athletics stadia doubling as football grounds but I can understand the financial pragmatics. Have the Council given a firm figure as to how much of the SC development costs that they will put up?
I have to admit that the thought of Liverpool getting the Games is quite exciting and I would definitely be a visitor. Is SC far from the City centre?

I'm extremely confident of it.

I don't get FSG strategy towards this at all. In teasing mode I wasn't going to put something up suggesting the reasoning may have been because they don't want more empty seats. Even I can't argue that tongue in cheek though.

There does have to be a reason why they are not looking to build. Surely they won't be satisfied declaring with Anfield at 54,000. It would lead them miles behind City, United, Arsenal, Spurs and potentially West Ham. If ourselves and Chelsea sort out a stadium move add us into the mix as well. It puts them well outside the top 6 or 7 teams.

I have a sneaky feeling this is part of a ground war strategy to bring the more locally based fans to heel. They clearly did not like the protests and the fact they were humiliated and made to u-turn. What most Kopites don't realise is actions have consequences. Once they turned on H & G it became acrimonious and the owners dragged there heels. I hope to god we are seeing something similar here.

I read a Kopite rightly saying if they were looking to defeat the fanbase this was the perfect way, as it would divide the fan base. Fans will start to blame the people who walked out of the ground for the lack of progress. There is already an increasingly anti-scouse rhetoric developing from their out of town support. That just because poor scouser can't afford to watch the match shouldn't be a barrier to stop their club being the best, sort of rhetoric.

The other elephant in the rom with all of this, is they can't just rely on being a team subsidised by local support. Over the last 30 years, particularly the last 15 they've allowed successive foreign managers to neglect the local fanbase and area. It's interesting the ground isn't being sold out as well. Something will have to give. They haven't put the hard graft in we have, in establishing authentic connections to the city we operate in and it shows.

I expect this to rumble on for some time. I don't know what FSG's end goal is. Like the fella at Arsenal I suspect a cash cow that they can milk and a prime assets in the EPL will be a valuable part other portfolio. I expect we'll see more attacks on the fans, especially when the new CEO comes in and that scumbag Ayre is removed.

Spot on. Spurs' new stadium (set to be completed in around 18 months) will have a capacity of 61,000. What's more, Chelsea and Man City both have plans to increase the capacities of their respective stadia to between 60,000 and 65,000. Most importantly of all: our new dockside stadium, according to TheEsk, will likely have a capacity of between 60,000 and 70,000.

Liverpool Football Club will soon be very much in the shadows.
 
I would say he is visiting both but one is out of a mixture of courtesy and to see for himself how good one site is compared to the other. Once he has seen the two he will understand why one is amazing and the other is awful.

On something as big as this I would be shocked if a serious business man didnt want to see them for himself even if one should be a none starter.
