New Everton Stadium

LOL How does it sound 'shaky'? Any architect - whatever they're building - studies the site they're planning to build on before they begin.

I'm sorry if I'm coming across as browbeating you Finners, but there really is no sign that this is 'in doubt'. Granted we're still awaiting public confirmation by the club, but there are no 'warning signings' that problems are ahead.
While I'm personally fairly confident, you can't blame any Evertonian for fearing the worst. We've been let down repeatedly over ground moves.

I agree, but things have never been this 'advanced' before. We've never had the entire board do a full site visit. We've never had a real bonafide actual architect properly - for real - designing a new stadium. This isn't some shed in Kirkby or some 5 minute bowl graphic at the Kings Dock. Stuff really is happening with this proposed site.

Also, while it was reportedly 'ringfenced' we had not yet had any tangible outlay for a stadium, certainly not to the level we have this time.

I know that people need the official announcement, and thats sensible, but we need to realise just how exciting this stadium will be and all the surrounding areas and infrastructure. We will be a huge part of the city centre, defining the boundaries, we will be accessible for locals and those travelling from further afield equally. We will have a world reknown stadium that is part of one of the worlds great skylines. We'll be passed by the great cruise liners of the world, the Cunard lines on transatlantic travel and will be the sight to greet them when they enter the Mersey. Planes on a holding pattern will be able to see us down on the ground as they pass overhead. The surrounding areas will be suited for us, in our name, earning for us. We could be come North Wests premier concert arena, earning more for us. This will be our stadium, in our name, in our city. For our lives and our childrens future.

I cant wait.

Planning, particularly around transport and traffic could well be time consuming, or worse.

When did you become such a monumentally miserable ball bag?
Doom, gloom, misery and pessimism. You only post to moan nowadays. Dafuq happened to happy smiley Finners?
 
Peel: Everton fans should 'watch this space' on waterside stadium plan

Peel says discussions with Everton about a new club stadium are ongoing and fans should “watch this space”.

And the developer says it will press ahead with the £5.5bn Liverpool Waters scheme whether the club moves to the docks or not.

Everton is considering two new sites for its new home – Bramley-Moore Dock, on the Mersey waterfront north of the city centre, and Stonebridge Cross.

The Liverpool Waters development, on land between Princes Dock and the Port of Liverpool, featuers skyscrapers, office blocks and housing.

In Peel’s masterplan the area around Bramley-Moore dock has been earmarked for housing.

Liverpool Waters assistant project director Ian Pollitt was pictured at Bramley-Moore dock in October when Everton’s majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri and chairman Bill Kenwright visited the site.

Asked about Peel’s involvement with the club he said: “We are talking to Everton. We are in discussions with them. It’s been ongoing.

“It would be good to see it in our development. But if it didn’t happen we’re quite confident we can do the development without them.

“It’s something we’d like to see there. So we’re working with Everton and the city on that. So watch this space.”

Everton is expected to make a decision on which stadium site to pursue early in the New Year.

Alistair Houghton looks at what Liverpool could look like

Last week the club’s stadium architect Dan Meis sparked a debate over what Everton’s future home could look like.

While at Goodison for the derby New York-based Mr Meis tweeted a picture of a column with the hashtag #nocolumnsinthebowl


While Mr Meis has designed four-sided American football stadia in Cincinatti and Philadelphia, his only major European project so far is the proposed bowl-shaped Stadio della Roma.

Asked if that meant the new stadium would be a bowl, he replied: “No...steep intimate seating directly adjacent to the pitch can be done without columns.”

And he later confirmed: “‘Bowl” is a generic term for seating/stands...not the shape or geometry. Will not be a bowl.”

Liverpool Waters has been almost a decade in the planning but Mr Pollit and his team have been working hard behind the scenes.

In September Moda Living won planning permission for an £82m skyscraper at Princes Dock. Just weeks later, Your Housing Group revealed plans to build a 30-storey apartment block, called The Hive - City Docks, next door. Plans for another tall tower at Princes Dock are also understood to be well advanced.

Nothing we haven't heard before. Peel trying to give Everton the hurry up?
 

The only thing bothering me about that article is the statement saying they are considering which site,its a no brainer where to build,it may cost more in the short term to go to the dock but in the long term its a game changer
I wouldn't be too concerned: I expect it to be nothing more than rhetoric and an attempt to not entirely burn our bridges with regards to SC.

The club would be sensible to have some form of contingency plans, even if they are extremely minimal, so they'll be cautious with what they say.

Bramley-Moore dock is obviously our first choice and where the majority (if not all) our interests lie, although it will not be confirmed just yet.

Still I'm also one to believe in caution and regardless of what some people may say on here, so there's still a lot to prove that a move is certainly on.
 
The best thing about that article is that Liverpool Waters assistant project director Ian Pollitt openly admitting they want it to happen and the ball is in Everton's court. If we can take anything positive from that story it's surely that.

“It would be good to see it in our development.
