New Everton Stadium

[Jacko93]

Ready made underground parking?

Not my favourite idea.

Ever seen Dark Knight Rises?

I thought peel wanted to keep the docks that we are supposively needing to fill in for aesthetic reasons.

Won't be cheap, plus it adds to the build time.

Also the cost of the land from Peel. Plenty of additional costs such as flood defence etc etc.

All major construction works require a massive amount of excavation and foundation work. Draining a dock is far easier than digging out land.

I've no idea or experience of dock draining, no idea what work would need to be done.

It was successfully done with the Toxteth, Harrington and Herculaneum docks to name a few. London also had numerous transformed docks.

Obviously the foundations will need to be stronger for the mass of a large stadium, but it's not too much of an issue at all.

The biggest issue is with upward pressure. There would have to be a structural seal, and effectively pin the stadium down to prevent it lifting.

They best get that right then.

This was just along the seafront at the new container terminal (another filled in dock) a few weeks ago.

Looks too much like a bowl to me. We want 4 stands!!

..amazing that picture. If you think the river breaks that wall on the right it floods the whole area.

I think that was land reclaimed from the sea rather then a filled in dock. With the dock the can excavate to the natural, build a retaining wall and build up, with that terminal that built out into the water. If they could build Alexandra Tower on what was a dockside im sure a stadium will be fine.

...the Mayor says the Everton stadium isn't a dependency for the Commonwealth Games bid;

Is it just me or has the balloon been deflated since last week's misery job by Elstone?

Natural to feel apprehensive about this. But there's no reason for despondency. Especially if Anderson's comments are related to our ground being a football ground and not suitable for athletics.

"However, what I would say is that our bid is not reliant on a new stadium for Everton – nor how it is designed."

I think that's the exactly what we want to hear - that the Commonwealth Games and the design of our ground are unrelated.

I thought Elstone's was nearly delirious by his standards last week. First time he had suggested he believed we could financing done. Practically merited a parade!
