New Everton Stadium

[Bullens Rd]

Just our luck really to spend years and tens of millions on a stadium proposal only for it to end up having a 50/50 chance of happening. The club has done everything right, I hope nothing can stop this as it would be an absolute disgrace.

Not true at all.

"50/50"
The only way this could be seen as 50/50 is in the sense that there are 2 possible outcomes and one of them will happen. In which case every building project ever is 50/50

Doubt it will get called in.

Absolutely no chance during a global pandemic and biggest recession in years that the Government rejects a big project like this to keep some dock they have never heard of derelict.

Give your heads a shake boys!

You obviously know what I mean. Until now we all assumed it would fly through as the benefits are huge to the city, yet all of a sudden some influential group decides they want to do all they can to prevent it going ahead.

we expected kopites to try and derail this at every opportunity, so the odd objection isn't a surprise.

"Influential group"

The same "influential group" who basically every meaningful stakeholder in the project (including LCC) have pretty much said will be ignored if push comes to shove?

There is zero chance heritage concerns are stopping a half billion pound building project in the North from going ahead in the current climate. None. Zip. Nada.

Rishi Sunak: New ways to protect jobs 'my priority'

Chancellor Rishi Sunak says he is looking for "creative" solutions as unemployment hits a two-year high.

www.bbc.co.uk

judging by this, BMD would be a god send for the government, they want to protect jobs... BMD will create thousands, Historic England can swivel!! they will not get this stopped... it fits the governments agenda on jobs an the build build build slogan used by Boris.

Why do these heritage groups ask for changes to the design when their attentions were all along to derail the whole process? The infilling of the dock had to happen from day one without this there would be no stadium? Everton and Liverpool council knew this from day one? Why did they ask for changes which was a pointless exercise and waste of money when the first exercise was to drop tons of cement into the dock?

I tried to find these on Everton Direct to no avail.

My first Everton kit came with round collar and sew-on number 8, with white boots. I was 5.

Any idea how much these are for size 10?

 

[sixtynineseventy]

Could well become part of the ‘levelling up’ process the Government often refers to?

Once you've seen one dock you've seen them all really.

That’s definitely not what my wife says.

Oh... ‘dock’..... Sorry, ignore me.

I’m guessing you want this thread mate....

Everton/hummel Launch Alan Ball Trainers

Great idea but even the woolest of wools wouldn’t wear them. You might see a few pairs in the south end around Garston and Speke area but nowhere else. shocking trainees

They are rather like "critics" as in their default role is to find fault. If they don't then they lose their reason to be essentially. Although they would see themselves as safekeepers of the public interest.

To a certain degree they have a role to play within the overall process as a body of some opinion, albeit a minority view.

The problem is their role is formalised and institutionalised so it's much harder for the secretary of state to dismiss them hence my expectation this will be called in.

The heavy emphasis on consultation, excellent communication strategy, Goodison redevelopment, and flexibility are all very savvy moves on the clubs part in mitigation. These objections come as no surprise and the club have seen them coming and got their response in first. Well done to them.

This was before the economic catastrophe that has unfolded since. It would be very refreshing if the council proceeded to grant PP regardless but I imagine they won't as the political instinct will be to push the decision upwards.
