New Everton Stadium

Did we announce Kings Dock?

As in get planning permission, stadium design the full works?

No, it never went that far. A proposal was on the table, with an artists impression, but Everton had to come up with their share of the money first (£30m) and couldn't, so the idea was scrapped at the end of 2002. Never even went as far as us trying to get planning permission or having any detailed plans for a stadium. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/e/everton/2940481.stm

This is where Bramley Moore Dock fundamentally differs from Kings Dock (and Kirkby, and Walton). We actually have the money to fund it now.
 
2 years sounds crazy optimistic. Unless it's been constructed in secret on the bed of Bramley Moore dock and it'll be risen into position with the press of a button.
All ready for Joe on Thursday...Activate stadium!

THE PROPOSED SERGEANT PEPPER LINE - STATION BY STATION
Edge Hill - a new island platform on the north side of the existing station interchange, with existing City Line services.

Paddington - A new underground station is proposed within the Waterloo Tunnel in the heart of the new Knowledge Quarter - close to the Metropolitan Cathedral and new Royal Liverpool Hospital.

Lime Street-Elizabeth - Potentially named London Road, this new underground station would be based outside TJ Hughes.

Marybone - A new semi-underground station partially within the Byrom Street cutting, opposite JMU’s Byrom Street campus.

Kayla says this could has the potential to be a future interchange with the Wirral Line. An additional platform could be added to the Wirral loop line between Moorfields and Lime Street, with platforms connected by a 100 metre tunnel.

Pall Mall - A new underground station at the back of the community college, which could accelerate the regeneration of the area.

Trafalgar - A new elevated station on the re-created Liverpool Overhead Railway could be built on the site of the filled in Trafalgar Dock - in the heart of Liverpool Water’s planned Central Docks district.

Bramley Moore - With everything pointing to a new Everton stadium in this location, Kayla believes a new elavated station on the overhead railway could be built directly next to the planned waterfront arena.

Huskisson Dock - Another new elavated station for the overhead railway is suggested here = serving the industrial dock areas.

Bank Hall - The plan would be to re-build the Bank Hall Station with new underground platforms in the existing tunnel benath the Northern Line to allow interchange between the Sergeant Pepper Line and the Southport Line. Part of the tunnel has been filled in but Ms Berry says the tunnel remains intact.

Kirkdale - Newly rebuilt Kirkdale station, with a new platform in a widened cutting beneath the existing Ormskirk and Krikby branches of the Northern Line.

County Road - A new station on the same site of the former Spellow station which closed in 1948.

Walton Lane - New station proposed on the site of the former Walton and Anfield Station, which also closed in 1948.

Cherry Lane - A new station serving the large housing estates in the area.

Clubmoor - New station on the site of the former Breck Road station, which closed with the others in 1948.

Tuebrook - The idea would be to re-build Tuebrook station on the same site where it was demolished nearly 70 years ago.

Edge Lane - Again this would be a station rebuilt on its former site.
 

Outside the Dock Gates
I heard a Toffee calling
Romelu they have taken you away
But you left a great twenty seven
Before you went to Bayern
Now it's glory round the Docks of Bramley Moore.

All round the Fields of Docks of Bramley Moore
Where once we watched young Barkley play (and he could play)
We had Bolasie on the wing
We had dreams and songs to sing
Of the glory round the Docks of Bramley Moore.
Fields of Athenry I think, slightly altered mind you.
Dave , I never you had a poetic inclination.
 

Although the excitement is understandable I think we should refrain from winding up the RS until we know more detail. They do have plans to redevelop their Anfield road End which could see their capacity increase to over 60k. I do have faith but if we announce a new stadium with a modest capacity and basic design we are going to have it thrown back in our faces
