New Everton Stadium

[The Esk]

Just catching up with this thread. Thought I should re-emphasise I am expecting an announcement about the land purchase (subject to PP) rather than a detailed description of the stadium. I am expecting the timing to be before the AGM.

It's not a matter of having to be kept informed. Obtaining planning permission is a public process. There will be no big reveal of a design that has received planning permission.

The application will satisfy the curiosity of loads of many fans who would like know to that an agreement has been reached with Peel, what size the stadium it will be, what form it will take etc.

If planning is rejected, we suck it up and move on. As others have said however, it is likely that many of the practical challenges that need to be dealt with will have been identified already.

Good post BTW mate

But what about if the club come out and confirm that they're hoping it does come off, and then something goes wrong? Wouldn't be the first time we've had false promises regarding a new stadium would it? The fanbase would be livid and the club would have brought it on themselves.

Why there is this expectation from the fans that they have to be kept informed on every last thing, especially with something as important as this is beyond me.

I'm not asking to be informed of 'every last thing'. Far from it. I couldn't be arsed about the ins and outs of stadium design and facilities. I just want a 'yes, we are doing everything we can to get a stadium on the docks'.

As for 'false promises'? Too late.
A photo shoot at BMD? A 'supposed' visit to SC? Are these not, in themselves, false promises?

The longer I am kept in the dark the more I begin to think of a certain theatre producer and his decades of dangling, what always turned out to be, false promises in front of me.

Yes, the fanbase is going to be well and truly ticked off if this goes awry. But if they can show it was out of their hands because Atlantis was discovered at the bottom of the dock then fine. But to think that after the photo shoot they can deny any responsibility they are sadly mistaken. The time for denials is long past.

Nothing will be the same? Show us then.

Why has everyone in this thread suddenly become so pessimistic?

A week ago we were all looking forward to a 60,000 to 70,000 state-of-the-art dockside stadium to rival Tottenham's new ground.

Now most of us seem to be resigned to the fact that we're going to get no more than a blue version of the Riverside Stadium. In Croxteth.

Your username is so apt.

But when we were after the Kings Dock, which we were informed of and which did go badly, badly awry, everyone was mighty cheesed off.

Perhaps they're learning from past mistakes?

Maybe not, just a thought.

Any need to be offended on behalf of somebody else ?

with sterling so weak v euro it makes a stadium much more expensive

I mean, the london/thames tunnels for the new railway lines a lot of precast concrete is being brought over from Ireland
there are 8/9 plants over here going full time sending truck loads of stuff over on the ferries

What has Raheem Sterling being weak in the Euros got to do with a new stadium?

I wasn't offended in the slightest. I was merely pointing out you can disagree and be civil at the same time.
