New Everton Stadium

Seems that those saying GP redevelopment is a no goer appear to believe it should be done in one go, as opposed to incrementally, which iirc was proposed by Skempton et al.

I wasn't averse to leaving Goodison when the Kings Dock was the alternative, but it has to be something along those lines.

I would prefer a redevelopment because our strongest point is our heritage and would be happy to see that done bit by bit.
 

As long as it looks as good as this.

All we need in the new stadium for it to stand out from others and to ensure a boss atmosphere is a standing section. It's simple really. That way, those who want to stand are happy and those who don't, won't have to put up with people standing up in front of them.
 
Standing is not legal in the PL and will not be again in my lifetime, no matter the rights and wrongs of the situation.

As for stadium site, I'd rank the options from most to least likely as:

1. Brownfield within northern city boundary e.g. Sandhills, Stonebridge Cross
2. Walton Hall Park (a lot of local & political opposition but Mayor Joe will try hard)
3. Rebuild Goodison (knocked down, rebuilt)
4. Redevelop Goodison piecemeal over time
5. Central waterfront location within Peel footprint (or other City Centre)
6. Stanley Park
7. Random out of town location chosen by Elstone and kopites

Option 3 would climb if there was active support to enhance the footprint and enable a genuinely high quality solution.

The debate about capacity remains interesting. If asked for a best guess I would think that Moshiri will believe, based on the limited publicly available comments at Arsenal and his notes yesterday, that a high quality, purpose built new stadium, properly marketed and priced attractively will support attendance in the 50-60k range. We have grown so used to being unfashionable, poor and local that I think as fans we may under-estimate what we can and should be.

Can't say too much, but from what I've heard WHP is not going to happen and may be announced as such within the next few weeks.
There is another site Everton are now pursuing but it's at an early stage. Suffice to say Everton are keen on it and it would solve a problem for the Council too.

I hope WHP isn't on the table anymore to be honest, we need to leave the park as it is.

I am baffled by something: surely the RS got the green light from the council to relocate in Stanley Park? If that's the case, don't we have a cast-iron case to step in and build a ground there?

Or am I missing something?

Think the major thing you are missing is having Analfield sitting right above us if we relocated to anfield park, is that what people really want?

Well the original idea was a kind of Football Quarter, so 2 grounds and other facilities would fulfil that brief.

Why is it not legal though? It can clearly be done safely.
