My only worry about this part of it is, what would the council say with the echo arena literally just down the road about it being multi use?

Chalk and cheese mate........

Does Liverpool City Council itself not own the Echo Arena?

 

[anton66]

So we'd be looking at about 70,000 capacity, seems about right

And over to the darkside.........

According to Frankie its "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a pleasure dome erect" and I think Frankie would know a thing or two about erections!

It's a Coleridge Poem:

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan a stately pleasure dome decree
Where Alph the saced river ran
Through caverns measureless to man
Down to a sunless sea

from memory. It apparently came to him fully formed in a dream!! Also sounds like a fair description of our new stadium on the banks of the mersey!!

Indeed. If you are looking at a stadium gig you're talking 60,000 punters. The Echo Arena only holds 10,000.

They do I believe.....

And by extension, all the land and surrounding land upon which it is built?

Nah, I'm talking about the original song "Welcome to the Pleasuredome" by FGTH.

I know you are, I remember it well. They changed the words so they could put erect in there and Holly Johnson could say it with a knowing wink! Used to love FGTH.
