New Everton Stadium

The echo.

We know the relationship between the club and the echo.

In theory, it'd be absolutely brilliant, though I think it would be a massive logistical challenge. It would take some very creative design and probably a purchase of further surrounding land (if possible) for parking, fire safety regulations etc.

I'd imagine it would have its own dedicated landing stage for a cross-Mersey ferry etc.

To give an idea, here is Old Trafford on that plot, to demonstrate how much of a squeeze a new stadium with a larger footprint would be:

Improved my image, well done Jamie.

The rumoured proposed site - Canada Dock is much further up the waterfront away from the city centre than this site.

Its when you forgot to bring the bog roll when camping.

I very loudly lol at that a lot more than I should have.

As long as its not a rush job and we don't end up with some crap design like kirkby

There is no vacant land up at Canada.

As fans, should we get the opportunity, we simply must rebuke ANY deal for Stonebridge Cross.

As a season ticket holder, I would expect my opinion to be canvassed. As a fanbase we simply MUST reject anything for Stonebridge Cross if the North Docks is our alternative.

My gut feeling...

Club leak to determine fan feeling for both sites.

We (fans and club) get this right, were back in the big time. We cant waste this opportunity.

SC would be far easier (and cheaper) to deliver, if the club were seeking to gauge fan opinion they wouldn't have put up the possibility of the waterfront as the alternative. As you'd have to have rocks in your head to choose Croxteth over the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey, given the choice.

I think you're reading too much into that article tbh.

Lash it on the waterfront. Let's see who's lobbing socks then?

The first team of the city on Liverpool's waterfront makes the city all ours.

And for good measure we can hang then one by one on the banks of the royal blue Mersey the scandinavian and Cornish bastards.

The bevvying opportunities closer to town would make any Everton move near there ace.

Make that happen and you'd fill a stadium and no mistake.

Call it Everton 3.

Sorry lads, but this all reads to me that both parties have kicked this down the road.

Exactly - the article is simply clutching at straws the same as we are on here. It was probably based on some tube journo trawling through here anyway, as our information, journalistic/literary skills and powers of analysis on GOT far outweigh theirs anyway!

I was having a drink in the Egremont Ferry pub over the water on Saturday. I like going there when I'm up, good beer and its got a great view of the city and the river. You can also see the Main Stand and the top of the Park End. Unfortunately however you can also see the pit, and because its on a hill that hideous new bunker now dominates the skyline. This is a once in century chance to put Everton at the heart of the city. It has to be to the waterfront; the gateway to the world that sealed Liverpool's reputation as one of the greatest, most historic and most idiosyncratic cities. Cardiff copes with 1000's in and out of the heart of that city, it will be a challenge but the logistics can be overcome I'm certain of it. If we can pull this off, the RS will always look down us... sat on their suburban hill, consumed with bitter envy.

You'll struggle to find a more heartfelt and truthful statement than this, folks. Ste is totally right, at the moment were two clubs occupying an outer district of the city. Done right, we could be the real city club, and they're just a suburban relic. The other club.

Suddenly SC sounds more appealing

Elstone would be proud of that spin mate
