We've barely had opposition.
UNESCO showed opposition...we took it into consideration
WHS showed opposition...we took it into consideration and even though they still opposed, they agreed they can see the benefits.
This will proceed in due course.

Neither will get knocked back, not BMD, nor the coalmine.
Coalmine owners - the very backbone of tories...unlike the miners who do the actual work.

In the current climate I can’t see it either unless it gets really controversial (the coal mine I mean)
Good God Dave I thought we were building a state of the art stadium on the riverside. Everton I hate you this is Fracking ridiculous !
As someone who lives and works near said proposed coal mine I can assure you it is not the same.

Bramley Moore used to be a dock for the handling of coal, maybe Dave has a point?
On a serious note, the coal mine discussion is VERY different to the stadium. The very essence of a coal mine, on the surface of it goes against the entire plan of the country and environmental targets etc. but, the coke that is mined is crucial to our steel business' where it would have to imported from elsewhere otherwise, and from countries with much worse environmental records than our own. Very different to the impact of a football stadium on a WHS site.

You're comparing functionality with functionality; but you know you should be comparing the principle of setting in motion a public inquiry for one project deemed 'outside the local' and another one that could potentially be considered by Jenrcik as also outside just being a local issue.
That's the point I was making.
I'm not saying it will happen that way, I'm saying that's what a an obvious flip-flopper and flakey Sec of State like him might do in order to be seen as 'consistent'.
From a quick google and speed read on this, I think the Gov had already approved it at the central level, but further complaints and new information, as well as substantial cross party political pressure has forced them to backtrack and call it in.
Id hope any opposition to BM is nothing like the opposition for the coal mine.

It's at least worth considering the impact of one project on another here. Decisions are taken case by case, yes. But Jenrick will know that if he dismisses too easily the complaints of non-local organisations to the Everton stadium project he'll risk looking like he's not applying judgement even handedly and there may be appeals.

I wouldn't be surprised if they chose Anfield again tbh. They will be over 60k capacity by then, with far bigger exec/corporate offer. We will be less than 53k with only 22 boxes.
Yeah, I think they’re different enough projects, with enough variance in opposition to justify different decisions. I’m still 50/50 on it on which way it will go, by the way. We’ll know in a week, all being well.

The 17th I think.
I belive it will go through. The controversy over a coal mine in this political climate is far greater than a new stadium build that could test the patience of UNESCO.
I just think we should be cautious regarding a man and his department of state that's just done an enormous u-turn in days.
Is this a change in position for you? Not a criticism, I’ve flip flopped and back again several times on what I think will happen.
On this point, I’m certainly cautious of Tory politicians and their decision making, however their naked self interest, and economic focus, I think could help us, for once.
