Park and ride would've been the plan

That's still a HUGE number of people to shift in and out.

The city of Munich bend over backwards for Bayern.

The city of Liverpool don't want Everton to be the dominant club in Liverpool, structurally or on the pitch. Don't expect them to find us a quality site with dedicated transport links.

In fairness, the ground was originally developed by both Munich clubs with regional backing, but 1860 had to sell their stake when they were relegated.

Sorry, may have misread/misunderstood your post.

If we want the best manager then we should want the best city location...that,s the waterfront.

Went there to avoid my 50th and did the tour.
Fantastic stadium but is sort of arse end of nowhere bit was pointing out that the transport links are excellent.
Personally I would love a Sandhills/Liverpool Waters solution as I don't drive and got no mates (suprisingly).

lollol

I believe Stonebridge Cross is one of them. A meeting took place a few months ago.

Almost as bad as Kirkby for location,in fact not much distance between the two sites

Have just read that... if he is convinced it'll be done in 3 years, surely the site is picked and the planning is going through....?

Not into the Stonebridge Cross site personally.

Yes.Sounds líke they have somewhere in mind.

Three years is a very short timeframe .

This is a huge area of land on the waterfront.

Surely after the Kirkby debacle, they will understand that being pushed out on a limb is not what the fans want, it has to be central.

You'd have to knock all the streets on the right down, otherwise it would be an absolute nightmare to travel there. Huge redevelopment and new roads would be essential.

Just build it on a floating platform and anchor it in the Mersey. Problem solved. Use the ferries and the duck to transport fans.

It has to be this, I always carry a bag of fish with me wherever I go incase I need them for something, I knew they'd come in handy because that would enable me to go to the game and feed the Cormorants in the dock, is right. :drunk:

an additional station between Sandhills and Moorfields to serve the Eldonian area, no need to knock down houses.

That is a fair point. But I still maintain that Liverpool council don't want Everton to be the primary club in Liverpool. Doesn't fit with the image the city is trying to sell.

Who mentioned anything to do with knocking down houses??? The industrial occupied streets around that site could not cope with the traffic a stadium would bring.
