New Everton Stadium



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.

I think you under estimate the nature of the echo relationship with the club.

But each to their own etc.
 
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:

Agreed, definitely achievable though. Millennium/Principality Stadium is on a tight space but that works:

Hate to kill the fun before its started, but I find it really hard to see a waterfront stadium coming in to fruition. The amount of bureaucracy that already surrounds the North docks area, with the UNESCO/Council/Peel/Heritage Preservation tug of war going on, it would be almost impossible to feasibly draw up plans for the area without significant friction. Typically, land surrounding a major port is earmarked for economic investment in trade etc. as it is a limited resource in the long-term future of the city, so any suggestion of a stadium and the required transport infrastructure around it seems far fetched, especially in Joe's 3 year time frame.

As a blue my heart would love to see our new stadium on the waterfront skyline, but my head doesn't see it happening.
 
That being said, Joe has expressed his desire to put a state of the art building on the waterfront before, to put our waterfront on par with the likes of Sydney, and he is supposedly a Blue so if he can blag his way through some of the red tape, you never know

That site will do nicely. Whilst they're at it, the streets shown on the other side of the Dock Road should be flattened. From Saltney Street (family lived there when they first got off the boat) to Oil Street. Shouldn't be too hard to find a new home for the businesses who'd have to move, not in the north of Liverpool, anyhow.
