New Everton Stadium

Remember that feeling on Saturday at full time lads?

Get used to it, we’re going to be MASSIVE in the not too distant.

I’m actually equally pleased with the Goodison plans.

Doing as much as possible not to completely hamstring the area.

 

[Wat Tyler]

Following the City Council's approval, the plans have now automatically been referred to the Secretary of State for Housing Communities and Local Government. This is standard practice for a development of this size and scale.

The Government will have an initial 21 days to review the application before reaching a decision.

He is Secretary of State for MHCLG.

My partner has just been speaking to his private office. If things go tits up I'll apply some backdoor pressure

Does she enjoy that ???? lol

Does the sos always take the full 21 days as a matter of course or could it be signed off sooner?

Congrats!

The contractors need to be carefully vetted here, no RS. I could just see them doing something deliberate like using the wrong bolts on the roof lol

You reckon all good for government approval then mate?

It will get built, I'm very confident of that. I still have concerns over a call in though, but those concerns are purely programme based, not yes/no.

Let's hope they get the acoustics right and that blue wave where our new Gladys Street will be so loud and intimidating that everyone will be scared to come here.

Seattle Seahawks in the NFL built their stadium specifically with acoustics in mind to make it as loud and intimidating as possible. I REALLY hope we do something similar.

I have an interesting piece of trivia around that very thing.

You say that but when Spurs built their stadium the rumours were that delays were caused by hammers and gooners labourers deliberately messing up the little things.

Dunno if that true or not

up to 21 days, so could, in theory, be done sooner.

The Spurs delays were cause by Spurs changing their mind on certain design aspects so often, amongst other things.
