New Everton Stadium

[Tramps_mate]

Spurs rising costs is a sobering thought. For me the elephant in the room is Brexit. I suspect Brexit will usher in a deep and prolonged recession , which may last a generation. Hardly the financial environment to complete such a comparitively monumental project.

Utter

....Joe Anderson was on the BBC Politics Show at lunchtime and was asked about the stadium. He said “if we can pull it off” it will regenerate North Liverpool. The expression “if we can pull it off” suggests to me that there’s still plenty to do to make this happen.

I cant see it happening. It feels to me like a typical Everton stadium project: they talk a good game and never deliver.

Anyway, if the costs are set to rise dramatically we should be walking away from this scheme. Moshiri wont be footing the bill, the club will be for decades.

That means it will be pulled off. Said it from day 1.

Thats the end game for Moshiris mates.

We can’t walk away from this project. It would resign the club’s future to nothingness forever. Is that what you want?

The stadium has to happen.

Any additional costings will be swallowed up by sponsoring Bramley Moore so don’t worry about costing.

AGM is nearing so will be interesting to find out the next phase of planning

Any rumours on when the AGM is? First week of Jan last year if memory serves.

will be astounded if we ever see plans

Wouldn't like to have been the QS for that job!! Bet he's been binned right off!!

It's not been unheard of for initial costings of major schemes to be deliberately "under cooked" to ensure they get an initial go ahead and then worry about the final costs later.

Try showing some optimism lads. Nothing good ever happens to negative people.
I have no doubt it will get done and that it will be spectacular.

Even independent economic forecasters are predicting growth for the next few years - the time when a botched Brexit would hit hardest.

A ‘prolonged and deep recession’ shows a misunderstanding of how the British economy works, is an extremely exaggerated Euro-centric view and suggests government and business would sit on their hands, looking longingly at the EU single market rather than getting on with it.

For a number of reasons, I feel that the bold claims of an iconic, world class stadium are merely rhetoric and the final design will be more subdued.

Perhaps it's external design will be iconic to help fit into the Liverpool skyline, but I doubt that the fundamentals of the stadium will be top end.

The thing is the company’s in the UK have got no choice, they have to or they will all go tits up.

Schemes like this will go ahead as the government won’t have much to spend much to support them.

I just want a stadium where I can go for a wee and not be standing in piss.
