New Everton Stadium

[Deco]

Totally agree on location. Docks my choice for sure.

Have you heard much on whether the club is leaning toward the docks over other options?

Would be amazing for the club.

Vamos a ver.

Why was Stanley park given the go ahead for The Sh!te but we aint allowed to build on there?

To be fair, around the same time we were supposedly moving into the King Dock funded by council money, and skint bill only had to come up with 30m.

BUT, come to think of it, the [Poor language removed] were also offered the King Dock site before US.

LiverpoolFC now, would no doubt reject any proposals of us moving on Stanley Park.

It's interesting when you sit back and look at it objectively. Obviously the docks make the most sense, but if it's significantly cheaper at the other site, well...you have to at least look at it. The crux is increasing revenue and, whilst both may do that, one would think that the waterfront could entice people with no affiliation to either team to come in and take in a match.

Liverpool FC couldnt reject any proposals....Liverpool City Council could tho

Suspect our new Mr Big will decide chaps. Would not stress about it because very rich men tend not to do things by committee

Well, yeah, probably "contest" was the word I was looking for. I'm pretty sure we could have contested the decision of them moving to Stanley Park because it is so close to our ground.

Yeah but if you can't access it easily, then you are going to be put off going. Maybe not diehard supporters but the casual supporter will be. Moving further away from the city centre in my opinion is a very poor choice. Just while we are on this subject does anyone know why we can't just build on the Stanley Park site?

Because the Mayor has just made a massive deal out of publicly saying 'no more building on green park space'. It's one of the main reasons WHP wasn't going to happen because of all the protests against it.

Times have changed since LFC first got planning permission for there, that was 16 years ago.

I think that is actually a key point, more and more the premier league is the subject of "tourist supporters", people who come from all over the world to take in a match.
Whilst walking around the middle of Liverpool One over the last season I must have been asked about a dozen times
" excuse me, can you tell me how to get to the football stadium?"
I think it would be a massive selling point for the city if we had a big stadium, close to the city centre

I agree mate

 

[Verbal Kint]

Forgive me if already asked... What are the transport links like out to Stonebridge cross?
How long would it take in a taxi/Bus from city centre??

Hopefully it's on the Docks.... Out of towners like myself would love that as would most fans is imagine .

 

[jcgefc]

I would love to see the new ground on the Docks and attached to the Stadium a sort of 'Museum of Everton FC' that can house Dr David France's Everton Collection 'lauded as the finest collection of football artefacts in the world'.

How boss would that be?

See my post a few minutes ago. Should also add LCC was run by the Liberal Democrats when that decision was made. It's been run by Labour the last 6 years.

If/when we move what will happen to Goodison? Is it likely to be bulldozed to make way for something?
