New Everton Stadium

@Jacko93 All the talk of BMD, is Nelson included as far as you know? It's been mentioned several times here and would make sense with the tightness of just the BMD area.

Not that I have heard. However, if there was any land used from Nelson dock, I cant see it being anything reclaimed, so maybe any talk of Nelson dock is just that the boundary will be edged at the water. The original plan for that dock, as with BMD, was residential and I can't see anything happening like that now, so that maybe where the talk of the Nelson docks as come from. Interestingly, when I first saw the pictures of the delegation at the docks, it looked to me like there were gathered on the Nelson dock side of the warehouses. Probably nothing in it like...
 
Thing is i don't think Peel would want to anyway, it is an interesting point thou, I wondered if they could move the wall, as in take it down with care and put it up somwhere else, or at least use the bricks for another structure, i dunno. I cant see it being a stumbling block as im sure they can work this out
I don't see a problem with the wall being moved and rebuilt. I'm sure there's been repairs to it in the past without ancient heritage kicking up a fuss. The clock tower is different as that needs a lot of restoration.
 
The wall will (quite rightly) remain and will be a feature of the stadium area. Underpasses and/or bridges will be built. I love the idea of the tower retaining the bell, to be rung after every Everton goal.

Yeah this is what will happen I'm sure plus additional walkways from north and south along the river etc. I doubt every single attendee will walk up Regent Rd and pass through the existing gates. The other listed features should remain too, it's part of the docks heritage.

For people asking how a stadium would look on BMD the Echo done a piece on it > http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/how-would-football-stadium-look-12409487

Isn't the clock tower on the other side of Nelson dock from Bramley Moore? Why would we be doing anything with it?

I'm having visions of this being a long drawn out sequence like that mascot for the Portland Timbers who starts chopping part of a tree with a chainsaw at the side of the pitch when they score a goal lol.

I disagree. I think the wall will quite rightly be pulled down in the name of safety, progress and aesthetic appeal. I don't know where this idea that old, disused and dilapidated structures should be forever conserved has come from? And if these structures are so important to the City of Liverpool then why have they been completely ignored and neglected for 350 years?

Things die all the time, buildings get pulled down all the time, Goodison will get pulled down. The world would be screwed if everything that was ever created was conserved forever. There is really no sensible or practical reason to keep the wall.

The wall is Grade 2 listed and cant be knocked down, so Ive read on here!
