New Everton Stadium

[tjf]

So the club are waiting on an imminent decision on planning permision and before its granted puts it "on hold indefinately".
Yeah ok fella.

You joined 10 months ago and made 8 posts , 4 have been about the stadium being held up due to "timescale" & "construction costs"

You're not hard to figure out.

I apologise for posting that, I work in construction but you obviously have much more knowledge about the situation than I.

Surprised the Echo, y’know as a local paper, aren’t asking the council when a decision is due.

Local? written from a laptop on the knee of some bloke in the bogs of the Mirror offices in manchester and printed in Oldham...anyway they only want to print red news

The construction of a stadium is not going to be held back because of retail and housing struggles. Why would it? Its a multi-year construction project, current struggles have no impact on the current stadium build except to drive down costs because of companies more desperate for work. The construction of a stadium is instead based on the projection of the economy at the time it ACTUALLY opens and can start generating income when backed by a top 100 billionaire. Stadium construction projects take 4-5 years, they dont care what the economy looks like in 12 months.

High street retail is on it's arse because of online shopping.

Why battle around the shops when you can sit on your arse with a brew and be done in a few minutes?

if you're a Liverpool fan and you think it's funny to make up rumours about the stadium not happening, I really think you need to post your feelings in the depression and mental health thread.

Being pedantic the last pandemic started in spring 1918 and ended in summer 1919. As for the great depression it started with black Tuesday in October 1929. As you say we are in unprecedented times.

It's keeping you lot up at night this,isn't it?....You just can't bear it.

I would be minded to check your sources.

3 weeks left of ‘early summer’ and still no news.

The application was registered on 20th February, so working on the suggested 16 week timetable we shouldn't expect to hear anything until later this month, but I think it will probably be next month at the earliest as nothing is showing on the Council website yet.

When we submitted the application on December 23rd they said it would take 16 weeks. Then the date switched to the more ambiguous ‘early summer’. The council need to get a move on.

to be fair I wonder how many of the council worker are still working in that department and how many are on furlough.
