New Everton Stadium

I, for one think a monorail up to the new stadium would be of huge benefit to the city

Is it just me that thinks the entrance to the dock, the two towers, look a little like our glorious Everton tower on the crest?

They had a potential stadium within the very first set of masterplans. The only reason they changed it was that they can make a better return on densely populated office and residential space. That hasn't happened for them though and they haven't had the level of interest they had originally hope for. Don't forget they have Wirral Waters to populate aswell. Now with the Pall Mall development, there is only so many Sq ft of office space that you can realistically sell in a market, certainly one in today's world. Truth be told, the market helps us as we can provide a level of certainty for Peel that they don't currently have outside of 3-4 developments underway on Liverpool waters. We can offer them that certainty, in the here and now. Peel are very keen to have us on board, and also believe that this is the start of the next 20 years of Liverpool Waters development as they hoped. If they weren't keen, then discussions wouldn't have gone on any where near as long as they have done.

Yep, I said as much as this myself later in the thread that wider economic forces might be shifting this along.

I don't know though. I tend to think they also might be playing a longer game and can ride out a period of relative lack of interest in their preferred plan (sans stadium). They certainly have the moolah to ride it out. I also think Anderson is an utter BS artist and can't be counted on. He's a schemer. If he can 'solve' the problem by eventually shoving Everton up to Croxteth after a pantomime over the docks, he will.

Monorails like they have in Disney land just shipping supporters the 1.5 miles to the city centre every 30 seconds. What an opportunity this is.

You can go a whole .96 miles! For $2.25!

You mean from the docklands to this

Shame we knocked the dockers umbrella down isn't it ?

Trouble is that Peel can't just ride it out. They are under huge pressure to sell off or develop land they own off the government. They have been accused, probably rightly so, of land banking and have been told that things need to get a move on. The fact they have found somebody for their land that will be paying more than the current land value is huge for them.

Forgive me but I haven't seen one person suggest that the reason Mo et al want the docks is once built , the value of the club increases ten fold.
Serious profit to be made.

Yeah which is great, means they will make sure this comes off, everyone is a winner on this, the fans, the fat cats, Peel, big fat Joe, its amazing!!!!!

I think you might be wrong on this one Dave. I think the new guy means it.........

With the UK quickly on it's way to a second rate economy due to the Brexit issue, more office and retail space mightn't be the best plan for developers

We have a very good EU in/out thread if you'd like to share your obviously wide ranging knowledge......
