New Everton Stadium

[rylojr]

600 million is the latest projected cost so im told.

Also issues about disabled access are holding it up.

Sources please?

The bad smell is being over-exaggerated. If anything, it smells more like burning rubber or some sort of chemical.

Sources please?

A family member works for the club and they had a briefing on it last friday. Changes my mind slightly that it actually will go ahead eventually as apparently they are still confident it will happen.

Is this a new ITK source you’ve got, as you’ve been posting in this thread for months and months, helpfully pointing out all the ways that it won’t happen, or that even if it did happen it would be rubbish.

Any other ITK info?

Not a new source but apparently in this briefing they were talking as if it was going ahead whereas previously, to my knowledge, they havent.

Like i said, its changed my mind, slightly. The intent is there, not sure about the means.

Meetings last night between the club and the heritage society so things are still happening behind the scenes.

Disabled access holding it up? dear god what rubbish, a few lifts will sort it out, there sorted. Do we really pay idiots who cant come up with simple solutions!!! Never heard such rubbish as this in my life, my dad is disabled and i have seen alsorts of ways to get disabled people in, they could even make it like wembley and have the disabled spaces at ground level.

Maybe i should send a bill to the club for sorting our their "problems"!

Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, has said that he hopes Liverpool City Council and Everton Football Club will be able to make an announcement on a new stadium for the club within the next few months.

Speaking to our Everton Podcast, lifelong Evertonian Anderson said that the club and the council had been working hard together in order to develop a scheme that would suit both council and club.

“We’re looking at a number of offers from the club, and we’ve made offers to them as to how we can help progress things,” said Mayor Anderson.

“There are a number of sites that we’ve been considering and we’re doing all we can.

“I’m sure that reasonably shortly there’ll be a discussion and a debate taking place between ourselves and people of the city about something that we’ve been working on.

“I’m optimistic that we’ll be able to put forward a suitable solution within the next couple of months.

“The council will work with the club to look at how we can support them, not necessarily in a financial investment in the club, but perhaps in the same way that we’ve done with Liverpool.

“We’ve invested quite a substantial amount of money around the area [of Anfield] and I’m sure Liverpool Football Club would be the first to admit that.

“We’re working with Everton and I’m confident that we’ll be able to put a proposal forward shortly.”

No Groundshare

When asked about the potential for a ground share with Liverpool Football Club, Anderson was determined that both clubs have their own proposals that are so far advanced that the idea of a share is now dead in the water.

Adding that he would have been behind such a scheme, he said, “I think it could have worked, it’s not going to work, but the thing that I want is for both clubs to be successful and have money coming out of their ears and buy the top players without worrying about a groundshare or whatever.

“But if it saves you tens of millions of pounds a year and you can work together then I would have been supportive of it.

“But it’s not going to happen. The proposals from both clubs are so far advanced now that it’s academic, so let’s move on from that.”

Half a decade and still zilch, apparently we're still expecting to hear something in the next couple of months.

...but I thought the communication regarding planning permission is due in July. I wasn’t expecting anything before then.

So we're told.

...the last consultation milestone was met according to plan and that dependency was achieved. I expect the planning one will be too. As far as I can see, the deadlines are being met.
