New Everton Stadium

The Esk said:
I called into the MIPIM conference in London today to hear Ged Fitzgerald (CEO Liverpool City Council) talk about how the stadium (he costed it at £300 million) could be, in his own words "a massive magnet and anchor point for the regeneration of the wider North Liverpool area and would be a fantastic destination and attraction in its own right. And I say that even as a Liverpool fan."

It was quite a claim, and a key part of a speech designed to attract institutional investors to Liverpool.

A kopite, and an MP?

From the Echo today, "Last Friday’s visit saw a delegation ... tour the two stadium sites."
As I indicated at the time, the idea that Meiss would fly at least 14 hours, round trip, on a plane and then be driven to SC to just sit in the car and look out the window seemed a little far fetched.

I've no beef with you mate, but there's no reporting or photographs of the SC visit and for good reason.

The preferred site is BM and that's agreed subject to PP.

Even today the CEO of LCC made no mention of SC as a stadium led catalyst for further investment, he concentrated totally on BM.

I read the £300m figure as worth to the city of Liverpool rather than stadium and surround build valuation.

Obviously different reading to listening.

Hahahahahaha, you're making this up surely, even the most stupid Kopite from the far east or wherever knows that Everton were the city of Liverpool's first team and remain the senior team to this day........

The lack of Echo pics from SC may simply mean that they didn't bother to send the photographer there as we all know BM is the money shot. There hasn't been any pics of them sitting in the car outside SC either.
It's great that more momentum was generated for BM today. Long may it continue.

Leg room please

Extra legroom areas need to be managed well in advance of the final design being ratified.

As mrb85 has already pointed out wider seats and extra legroom reduce crowd density thus creating arenas with very little atmosphere.

I do believe that certain areas can have more space but not the whole ground.
Where our most vociferous support is going to be would also have the more densely situated seating (hopefully with a view to safe standing/rail seating in the future).

As a side note I hope we don't go for a big screen as the action on the pitch will no longer be obstructed.
They're generally ill positioned (Wembley & Olympic stadium) and not able to show replays of any contentious issues therefore pointless.
Ok for NFL,NHL et cetera but really not necessary for football.

Thing is, extra leg room, along with wider seats and wide gangways reduces the density of the support and so lessens the atmosphere. As do other facets of modern design eg having private boxes between the tiers occupied by the ordinary support - this breaks up the continuity of co-ordinated chanting etc. (best to have the boxes at the back of the top tier as at Utd rather than midway as at Arsenal and Wembley for instance).

Couldn't agree more. The Emirates is the epitome of a soulless bowl. I hope we stay as far away from this design as possible. Also hope we at least allow for the possibility of safe standing.

That may be his public position, but the agreement has been made, subject to planning permission.

We all want to believe this but last Thurs the media were accurately briefed of the impending site visits. The same report stated, "negotiations over the final figure (for BM) are ongoing." The Chief Exec of LCC echoed that today. Are they both lying?
@Jacko93 your thoughts? You seem to have credible info as you were the first to mention BM. If we signed a purchase option, subject to pp, in Aug that would have required an exact site price to be specified so why are there credible reports that we're still negotiating that price with Peel?
