Send him in, he’ll have them all wrapped up in batter by tea time, mosh can get the shovels out next morning.

That ship has sailed lad
Give it up and embrace our new iconic stadium on the banks of the royal blue Mersey

Give up what? I don't believe "that ship" was ever in port tbh.

I was part of a group who petitioned Peel about a stadium on central docks long before most blues had heard of BMD, when some were telling me to give it up and to embrace Kirkby.

I did embrace Kings Dock before that though.... and am as excited by BMD as the next blue (even looking at an apartment next door). That doesn't mean i can't question anything about it, especially if some answers haven't been forthcoming thus far....
 
Kings Dock would have been amazing - now that really was IN the city centre and the heart of the waterfront, no visitor to our city (or RS) would be able to miss it. BMD is hidden a bit more as it's quite a bit further up the waterfront but still a good location compared to some of the nightmarish locations (eg Kirkby) we had been linked with in the past.

And Walton Hall Park would have been awful. On Kings Dock, yes that would have been spot on and we would be playing in it now. But it fell through because we could not raise 50 mill plus in trying to do so BK fell out with the other shareholder, forget his name now. Others on here will likely know more on this than I.

It was 30.

30m was all that was needed to trigger all kinds of EU grants for the bulk of the rest of the build.

Paul and Anita Greg offered to put up the 30 mil for more influence.

Biggest Blue ever Bill quickly invented the Fortress Sports Fund fronted by Chris Samuelson (A lifelong Evertonian! — Until asked at the AGM by a shareholder who scored in the 66 Final..... Silence) and bankrolled by a Russian with "an Encyclopedic knowledge of the game." ) Bill famously announced that the 30m was "ringfenced" and this was enough to convince the Gregs they were never getting the sway they wished for and sold up.

Of course the money wasn't ringfenced.

Of course we lost the available external grants.

We continued on our managed decline with Biggest Blue Bill conducting the orchestra as the ship sank.

Several years later, our former Media Officer (Ian Ross rings a bell) admitted that the Fortress Sports fund was simply a means to an end.

Kenwright is an untreateable cancer.

For all his mistakes, Moshiris biggest was not volleying that absolute fraud into Liverpool Bay as soon as he increased his stake.

We won't progress whilst his stench still patrols the corridors.


And breathe.....

I started following Everton right around this time and when I really found out the truth about the whole Kings Dock fiasco I am still gobsmacked Bill is even allowed in the club, let alone clapped by a significant amount of people.
 
My wet dream of a new location always was (And still is, I can dream!) somewhere in the Everton Brow area, the advantage of that location is we'd be in Everton, highly visible to tourists visiting our fine city as it's on the outskirts of the city centre and about halfway-ish between the city centre and Anfield. RS match away fans and tourists to our city would literally have to travel past the giant new ground (60,000+) of the first club in this city to visit the RS. I think that location is far better than BMD and probably on a par with Kings Dock.

Back from the world of dreams...
