Hi @Donald Twain
I watched a documentary about a young boxer from L.A, he was the son of a deceased former champ, further in to the documentary it appeared he fought at Goodison.
Did anyone else know about this?

They expect the stadium built.
....I notice Edge Lane cinema is due to close in the next few months. I have long suggested this land as an ideal choice for our new stadium and the footprint is about to get bigger.

Liverpool set to bid to host 2026 Commonwealth Games
Liverpool is set to bid to host the Commonwealth Games. From left, Usain Bolt at the 2014 Glasgow games; the 2002 games in Manchester; and Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson
The plans are revealed in a letter from Mayor Joe Anderson to Culture Secretary John Whittingdale.
Mayor Anderson – who is seeking re-election in next month’s local elections – said the move could ‘be a catalyst for regeneration’ across the city region if successful.

It is the second major announcement this week by the city’s Mayor, coming just days after he announced plans to build 10,000 new ‘rent to buy’ homes across Liverpool to help young families get on the housing ladder.
He said: “It’s at an early stage, but I’ve written to the government staking Liverpool’s intention to consider hosting the 2026 Commonwealth Games.
“I am ambitious for the future of our city and I think we have an enormous amount to offer including a track record of delivering big-ticket events and a brilliant sporting heritage.
“But we’re also a city with a window on the world and I think multi-national, multi-ethnic Liverpool reflects the values of co-operation and solidarity that now lie at the heart of the games.”
Mayor of Liverpool, Joe Anderson, has written to Government ministers saying that Liverpool intends to explore a bid for the Commonwealth Games 2026
The Mayor pointed to the success of the Capital of Culture year in 2008 and the recentThree Queens spectacular as evidence of Liverpool’s ability to host major events.
The Commonwealth Games were last held in Glasgow in 2014 and the next games, in 2018, will be at the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.
The next games are due to be held in the South African city of Durban in 2022.
Last year, Liverpool council bosses said they’d decided against submitting a bid for the city to host the Commonwealth Games.
But at the time, Joe Anderson told the ECHO he thought Liverpool had the capability to host the Commonwealth Games if the Government were to finance it.
According to the Scottish Government, they contributed 80 per cent to the public cost of the 2014 Games, while Glasgow city council contributed 20 per cent of the reported £575m bill.
In his letter to the Culture Secretary, Mayor Anderson is now asking for a meeting to pursue Liverpool’s bid for the 2026 event, the next undesignated games.
He said: “Both Manchester and Edinburgh used the Commonwealth Games to deliver a regeneration boost for deprived parts of their cities, and I think the same could be possible for parts of our city like north Liverpool.
Could we see scenes like this in Liverpool? Usain Bolt of Jamaica celebrates winning gold in the Mens 4x100 metres relay final at the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games
“By the time of the 2026 games, it will have been quarter of a century since an English city hosted the games, so it feels like the time is right for us to bid.”
In his letter Mayor Anderson says that ‘the potential benefits of hosting the Games would disperse widely around the Liverpool city-region as well as the wider northwest of England.’
He added: “Liverpool could carry out an assessment of the assets we have in place, plus the potential sites, finance and key infrastructure we would need to successfully host the event in order to start conversations with Government. Those conversations would include the cost of the games and how much Government would contribute.
“There are never any guarantees with these bids, but we will be pushing hard to make our case and I am seeking a meeting with the relevant government ministers to begin the process.”

Hmm. So either we have to wait 10 years to move in, or agree to a multi use stadium that will eventually be used for the games, no way do I want a running track.Liverpool set to bid to host 2026 Commonwealth Games

Can't see this one working in our favour.

The article above is from the Echo. There's quite a few comments saying 'It will never happen' etc. But if Glasgow can do it, then I don't see why Liverpool couldn't. I'd say 2026 is too far away for a stadium solution. But if we just added a second tier to the Park End for 10 years, and then got a massive stadium for free, then maybe it would be worth it?

I'd accept a running track if it involved getting a 250 million pound stadium for free. Just look at what the stadium has done for Manchester City, I doubt they would be where they are now if they hadn't got a new stadium for free. They got rid of the running track as well.
That's the rs new stadium sorted, then

There are clear pros and cons, but City moved in after the games and could rip up the track immediately. If we wanted to take tenancy before 2026 we'd have to accept an Olympic Stadium compromise, which looks rubbish.

It would have to go to us, imo. They already have a new stadium tbh. All four sides of their ground are relatively new, or they will be very soon.

I think we would have to move in afterwards. I don't think moving in beforehand would really be an option.

Our stadium plans will definitely get boost (if it is even needed) cause of these games.
Any stadium wouldn't be constructed for several years. If the major compromise was that we had to put up with a running track for 6 years before the games I would hardly be complaining.
