New Everton Stadium

[IllinoisBlue]

I would assume the benefit of having some CWG action at new ground at BMD would be the infrastructure would be in place for large matchday crowds, (transportation, restaurants, pubs etc), and the location on the Mersey would be something special, so it all does make sense.

Perhaps the new ground could host the Rugby 7's or Hockey with no impact to structure of the stadium? Agree a track would be very limiting.

Was there a hidden Message in Dan Meis tweet re the statue at Rice Stadium Houston in relation to a Stadium design?

I think it would be good for the city of Liverpool to host the commenweath games, I just hope it has no impact on the design of our stadium. When you think about it the commenweath games lasts for a few weeks, we are hopefully going to be in the new stadium for hundreds of years

The next one on the gold coast is going to cost £ 1.2 Billion+
Where's the council going to get that sort of cash
It isn't EFC's job to fund Anderson's wish list

A brand new football stadium on the docks which could be used for some events such as boxing etc, then let the council redevelop and host the athletics at Goodison

You could turn it round and say it isn't LCC's job to fund Everton.

I think the commenweath games can have a good legacy and councils can use it to force through big changes in the city that they wouldn't normally get and it can kick start regeneration of certain areas. Not all the money has to come from the public purse

According to Wiki (and that is never wrong) it is where Kennedy gave his famous speech in the early 60's to land a man on the moon by the end of the decade. "We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard, because that goal will serve to organize and measure the best of our energies and skills, because that challenge is one that we are willing to accept, one we are unwilling to postpone, and one which we intend to win, and the others, too." is the quote. I think he is alluding to the fact he is confident of any issues being overcome to build something really special.

you could but you'd be wrong, LCC haven't got a spare penny to bless themselves with - they can barely fund what they're supposed to.
They will give us all sorts of stuff that doesn't cost too much and plenty of intangibles like planning permissions etc
When We and Peel get buildings on sites and IF The Commomwealth boondoggle gets the green light, then LCC will collect rates for 50yrs.

You say this, and yet they bought our training ground from the liquidators when we couldn't afford it.

Swings and roundabouts, they helped us out.

It's a boondogle/money pit of the highest order, not only can't the council run a beer up in a brewery, they can barely fund the services they're supposed to.
If anybody will have a legacy, which I doubt, the Games won't be it, it's all about Anderson getting his name on some bricks and mortar or tarmac.
Anderson Way has a nice ring to it

The majority of the money would come from central government, not LCC.
