New Everton Stadium

[JLW]

Be a bit daft to buy the land and not have the money to build on it.

Exactly! All this will be in place, here we go again looking for negatives!
I couldnt care who builds it
What steel we use
What construction company it is
How much it will cost

We are getting a brand spanker new stadium on the docks!!

We're not buying the land though - this is a promise to buy it when we're ready to build a stadium on it.

Which means... absolutely nothing, unless I'm missing something. It's barely news.

Well firstly, it stops anyone else building on it. Secondly, it means Everton are now set on it as their chosen site, eliminating the persistent SC link. Finally, there's no way we would make this public without a strong assurance that things will be fine on the funding and planning front.

So it's certainly news.

Thats the corncern. I hope we get something more concrete (ahem!) later regarding finances, else it doesn't mean a great deal.

Any news better than no news but still...

So now we're doing fake ground move bids? Come on people! We woudnt buy the land to grow dandilions ffs!

We are far further down the road than is being hinted at here.

It's a huge step away from somewhere like Stonebridge Cross.

Also worth keeping in mind that it wasn't Everton who stirred hysteria around today - it was LCC/Joe Anderson.

It's not looking for negatives; it's just confusion.

It's akin to this

ME: Hi mate, can I buy that PS4?
YOU: Yeah, £100 alright?
ME: Sound, can I buy it once I've bought the games for it?
YOU: Yeah I'll wait here.
ME: Nice one, back in a few years.

... that just doesn't seem like news to me!

For me, I'd have kept this quiet (easily done via NDA's by all parties) and announced when stadium funds are in place the whole thing.

Maybe that'll still happen today, but if not it's just underwhelming because nothing has actually happened of substance.

...we are on our way to the first fence of the Grand National.

Cool your heels and stop getting people ahead of themselves.

We're not even at the race yet Dave, we're still in training.

It's not a bleepin' playstation 4 is it though? Politics and city planning is a right old cumbersome beast, news like this is mint but surely nowhere near the finish line. Millions of things can still go wrong, but still, well in and well worth celebrating so far like. Even though the cost of the lot is just downright extortionate.

Today will be we've purchased the Land and nothing else the rest will follow.
