New Everton Stadium

Just hope we can experience Champions League nights before we leave. I’m confident Carlo can bring them if given the tools!

Dare to dream...

I just want to get back to Goodison Park now. I know it's going to be gone soon and I love the place. My memories will remain - even that game against Sheffield Wednesday when Carbone was the only person on the pitch who could have honestly called themselves a professional footballer and the only one with any fight was some 50 year old guy who wanted to smack me one in the battle to escape the torment - but I am looking forward to the new ones that will be created in our new home.

I love Goodison, the lads i sit around are great lads, the Gwladys St is just amazing for more reason than leaving high as a kite.

But we need to move, me and my mates always laugh, wherever we end up watching Everton... Barnsley, Carlisle, Blackpool they have quadruple the hospitality we have. That's where the money is. Plus, imagine how good it'll be starting your pre-match on Dale St, and reaching the ground down the boardwalk, 10 pints in and losing to Stoke.

It'll be momentous, and no one will ever be able to take away the fact you were at the first game at our new home for the next 100 years!

I think you have perfectly encapsulated the self-awareness that makes us the best fans in the land. ;)
 
Everton CEO, Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, sent the following email to supporters today after the Club's planning applications for a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock and a community-led legacy project at Goodison Park were unanimously approved by Liverpool City Council.

Dear Evertonian,

Following my email update on our stadium project last week, I wanted to share with you the outcome from today’s meeting (Tuesday, 23 February) of Liverpool City Council’s Planning Committee.

I am pleased to inform you that the Committee unanimously supported the recommendation of the Planning Officer and has now approved our plans for a new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock and outline plans for a legacy project on the site of Goodison Park.

This is a significant step forward for our project - and news I am sure every Evertonian will welcome. It is also a huge boost to our city and city region.

The planning consent from the City Council means that our application will now be referred to Government - a standard procedure for an application of such scale. The Government will have an initial 21 days to review the plans and make its decision.

Once that process has concluded - and provided it is a positive outcome - we can press ahead with the plans we have developed over the last few years.

I am sure you are aware of how important a new stadium will be for us - providing the state-of-the-art facilities befitting of an ambitious Premier League club – as well as the important role it can play in boosting our local economy at a time when it’s never been more needed.

The project, which will be one the most significant infrastructure projects our city has seen in many years and one of the largest single site developments in the country at this time, will provide a £1.3bn boost to the local economy and deliver more than 15,000 jobs.

If we achieve the final planning approval we have all worked so hard for, then we be in a position to complete our funding arrangements and confirm our schedule for the build process at Bramley-Moore Dock.

On behalf of our Board of Directors I would like to express our gratitude to Liverpool City Council and its officers for their hard work and dedication in reviewing one of the biggest planning applications in the history of our city.

I also want to reiterate my appreciation to you. The ongoing positive contribution and patience displayed throughout this journey by Evertonians has been such a huge factor in the progress we have made to this point.

As I have made clear throughout this process, I will ensure you are fully updated at each stage of this important project for your Club and our city region.

With my thanks and best wishes,

Denise
 

Fantastic news although with this COVID thing and the inevitable scramble for tickets when crowds are allowed, I’m bricking myself that I’ll struggle to get over to see a game at Goodison

I will always have Goodison in my heart, the place I first went to in 1962 as a 9 year old boy and where I saw legends such as Alex Young, Roy Vernon, Colin Harvey, Alan Ball, Howard Kendall, Big Joe Royle, Neville Southall the list is endless as are the memories. Memories are all they are though and, as such, can and will be carried in my heart long after Goodison has gone.

Will I shed a tear when we play our last game there? No I’ll cry a river, but, it will be for the best. With this finally getting the go ahead, it is our chance to be once more one of footballs elite clubs. If I am still around I hope to be at the final game at Goodison and one of the first ones at Bramley Moore.

I honestly feel more hopeful of Everton becoming, once again a truly big big club than I have for 25 years.

I have 5 grandkids, three of them have already been to Goodison. The race is on now to take the other two. They can look forward to a lifetime of Bramley Moore, but I want them all to be able to say "I watched Everton at Goodison Park" ;)

Excellent comms that.

I especially like the fact she is sounding a note of caution when you really know she's a bit damp ;)

I don‘t get to Goodison very much but I had the misfortune to choose that game as my “once a year” pilgrimage (n)

Another one was were Paulo Wanchope went peak Pele and Derby beat us at home for the first time in decades. I’ve had better experiences since ;)

Ironically, my worst game experience was against Derby but at Pride Park.

I dropped my dad off next to the stadium, then parked up miles away and then ran all the way to the stadium at almost Roger Bannistereque pace. All I can remember of that day is sitting in a concrete dump, panting like a dog all the way through the match whilst a steward berated me because the lad next to me was smoking a cigarette whilst he laughed his arse off at the nonsense. And then an illegally fielded player scored for them to send us home defeated.

Tell me Mr Moshiri, can you replicate that level of magic in your new stadium?!?

Took about an hour to walk back to the car too. Why'd you park so far away son, grrrrr.
