New Everton Stadium

[Gardocki]

Hopefully the idea of hosting any athletics has completely been put to bed now, and that the design won't have to potentially allow for a 2026 bid.

As an outsider looking in it seems to me that the overall development of the docks is the big prize, the opportunity to pick up the Commonwealth games on the way was just an added carrot which would raise the profile of the city and the development project being undertaken.
The money which is going to be spent anyway could have dovetailed with the Commonwealth games coming to Liverpool and would have helped offset some costs, but the big project(Docks) is not reliant on the awarding of the games to Liverpool city.

I am not sure that everybody on here grasps fully the scope and scale of the overall project that the docks development could become and the huge sums of money that will be spent and made.

The Everton portion of this will be absolutely dwarfed by the overall project but it is likely that the new ground will generate media attention far greater than it's cost relative to the overall spend.

I think the money that can be made out of developing the city was the deciding factor in bringing Moshiri to Everton and I feel he is positioning himself and business partners to be heavily involved in whatever happens. Everton football club will hopefully benefit from this project as it may become the public face and flagship project of the development.

I hope.

Disappointing for the city but should in no way be allowed to slow up or hijack our stadium plans.

I thought this would accelerate them? No need for a running track now, and the "10 Streets" project from Peel was not depending on 2022 games.

Could go either way, like you say less technical hassle with the build, but less pressure to get it ready by X date.

More time to avoid a rush job.

Spot on, some hurdles have definitely been removed.

Loads of them, depends on whether it's 100m, 200m or 400m

Liverpool getting overlooked by the government again, why is anybody shocked from rail to roads they do it all the time.
what's the betting they manage to get some of the events moved towards London.

So long, commonjarg.

OOooo.. watch the stadium go quiet. Would it surprise anyone if the stadium build hinged on Commonwealth Game money?
