New Everton Stadium

[RobSpurs]

And because this is arguably the biggest announcement in the clubs history, it should be announced when the time is right and when there is something concrete to confirm.

There's no point in a half arsed 'we're waiting on planning permission' twitter announcement to appease some fans. I want fireworks and strippers

However it's announced, fireworks and strippers or a topless Bill Kenright waving a sparkler, it'll still all be subject to planning permission.

Sometimes, no news is good news. Frankly, it's a good thing when nothing is leaked. It means people at the top are running things properly and not leaking information for something as important as a new stadium.

It's not the club leaking information that I'm concerned about.

Can we have exactly the same stadium as you please, but without all of that glass tunnel crap?

Ask Levy. He might sell you the cranes for the right price, and might even throw Sissoko into the bargain.

If all parties involved are agreed they wouldn't dare not give permission. Would they?

Don't know. Chelsea were refused planning permission on their stadium a year ago (more accurately, they were told to change certain things then come back and try again).

It seems looking in from the outside the pros of getting this going massively outweigh the cons, so you'd hope it'd have a smooth passage. But then again, it's going to be contingent on loads of other factors - getting the transport up to snuff probably being the main one. No planning committee will approve a 60k stadium if they think the area can't cope.

But my main point was the plans will need to be open to public scrutiny before the planning meeting happens. And at the meeting voices of dissent and support will be heard and that'll all be weighed up alongside everything else. All I'm saying is, it can't be announced as a concrete, done deal with promises of spades in the ground the next day. There will be months between first seeing the designs and the planning meetings. Whatever is announced will certainly be subject to planning being granted. You can't do that in secret.

They don't know whether to stick or twist that shower. And I've seen much better analysis of possible new capacity in this thread.

Good listen that. @The Esk even managed a cheeky "phenomenal" towards the end.

Nothing new, just continued speculation and building of egos....

not with 100yrs worth of rates in the pipeline they wouldn't
