New Everton Stadium

[anton66]

The likes of the White House etc are sufficiently maintained and utilised buildings, there's no reason to knock them down. If there is value in preserving a historical structure, like marveling at the remarkable construction of the pyramids, or ensuring that people don't forget the stain on humanity that is Auschwitz, then of course that makes sense. Does that mean that every wall that has ever been created should be conserved forever, even if they are not being utilised, have been neglected for years, and are preventing a real need for progress? I guess everyone will have their own opinion on which structures have value and which ones do not.

English Heritage would rather see a building collapse into ruins unless any protentional developer uses the arse-hairs of a Dodo in the cement.

What exactly is the problem with the wall ? It is beautiful and has access points for people and vehicles.....

Not many access points and spread quite far apart. Could be useful for crowd dispersal, mind, having distinct egress points.

If there's going to be a stadium there, then the dodgy wall will have to come down imo. I don't think they would allow the two to go together. The hydraulic tower looks dangerous and would have been put down if it was a horse. The clock thing is alright like, but could do with a bit of a cleaning.

A dodgy wall !!!!.....it's a piece of history that was there before GP ffs. It will look fantastic when our new stadium is behind it.......

and also for crowd control should they need to be "held" in place for whatever reason.

The irony of the RS marching to defend a wall staying intact would be marvellous

My favourite post so far today. Fantastic stuff. lollollol

More than enough I reckon.......

They won't demolish the whole lot, but they won't leave it untouched either.

Time will no doubt prove neither of us right, as we'll both be bones in the ground long before this stadium gets planning permission.

I did say they might allow alterations, they'll probably widen it. Moshiri will build us this I'm sure, it's the only way to move the club forward.

I mean aesthetically, I think it looks pretty good.

And we will fight fight for the boys who play down by the royal blue Mersey

As long as the lovable aren't on the other side

Hadn't realised Chelsea's new stadium would take so long to build

Further down the road, the dock wall (brick) was removed to put in an access island for the apartments, I love the stone wall that will surround our new ground and I hope they don't mess with it......

Unlike Spurs, they are building it on the same footprint, and no doubt have to factor in the enclosed nature of Stamford Bridge.

Don't rate the design for their new stadium at all. Very ugly, like a dropped cake.

Yeah Chelsea ground, before they start they have all the demolition work, something we have little of, that won't help
