New Everton Stadium

Robert Earl has sold his shares mate. He no longer has any association with the club.

I will miss his total involvement and generosity of funding.........

The thing wth WHP is the transfer links can be improved imo,

If the transport links could have been improved they would have been by now.

Both ourselves and the shoite use this route now to leave our respective stadiums and it is manic, with two stadiums increasing their capacity by a total of approximately 20K this would need massive investment, from who?

Location, location, location.

It is bad enough getting car parking or public transport to and from GP without moving to a place that's less accessible.

If the opportunity arises we must move to a city centre location to enhance our profile

WHP is far more accessible than a city centre location. I admire the romanticism though

The stadium at Liverpool waters ain't happening, the initial planning application has been submitted and approved i.e. what buildings will be where. There is not a chance that they'll go back to the drawing board on a 5.5bn project to facilitate a stadium. The entire application would need to resubmitted with consideration for traffic management, noise, footfall etc

Is the correct answer unfortunately.

Always wondered why we have never shown interest in the area between Copperas Hill, Brownlow Hill, Hawke Street and Russell Street. A new ground would really help rejuvenate run down Lime Street and even London Road.

It's not, they had outline planning permission which is nothing, each and every building would have to go through planning and gain approval for them to go ahead. The only approved buildings are a 40 storey tower and an office on Princes Dock which wouldn't affect the stadium site. Liverpool Waters is basically just a vision and Peel have been struggling to get investors onboard.

Yes, still very much early days. Could take 40 years till full completion.

Fours years in though and still nothing is getting built and they revised the initial timescale to 30 years awhile back. It's also an enterprise zone which gives developers tax breaks and they've still had no takers besides the 40 storey tower people.

I can't see that much interest north of Princess Dock. Only the Chinese have the funds to create a domino effect.

A stadium doesn't fit the Liverpool Waters vision, not a hope in hell imo.

Once again, I must mention the Collins playing fields on Stanley/Commercial Rd

Don't need any green light off peel for that, and it'd be visible from the waterfront.

I totally understand the desire for a waterfront site but it will only be a remote possibility if Peel get desperate and they have a history of patience.

The Copperas Hill shout above is interesting as the area around Lime St is an eyesore. It would need real vision & commitment from the council but if you don't ask...if nothing else it is the most creative bit of thinking in this thread for a while!

Not a bad shout. Not many pubs, but good transport links and closer to Town.

Sadly already plans for most of the site now. Missed the boat again.
