New Everton Stadium

[Bluesnapper]

I'd love Everton/Scotland Rd area or the waterfront they would be ideal or even better stay and redevelop GP...BUT Walton Hall Park is nowhere near disasterous in the way somewhere like Kirkby or South Liverpool would have been - it's certainly not a location to go to war (keioc style) with the club over. Keeping us close to our roots within Walton is not bad just not perfect.

Nothing, hopefully, can be compared to Kirkby.

But we need every advantage there is when a ground move comes around, any constraints should rule out a move to any given site.

I know I shouldn't but can't help thinking, what if the transfer money promised to roberto is put to one side to fund some of the new stadium then in September it is announced the stadium has been put on the back burner.

Then Goodison burns down. We'll be homeless. Maybe we'll have to give handjobs to other clubs for crack money.
We're doomed.

Have I missed the 'debate' bit lids ?

No, I think we're still in the "pre-debate" stages

I am properly up for a mass debate.

Seriously though, I am dreaming of something that goes in the sky like in The Avengers. Seriously.

Cheers mate, just not sure what'll be left to debate - perhaps whether we want the stewards in orange or yellow...

Honest/ignorant question here: what are the pros/cons of a site like Walton Hall Park vs William Collins Playing Fields? Availability of the site (to purchase, land restrictions, etc) are obvious constraints, but from a planning perspective the William Collins area seems to have some big pros.

This may have been discussed ad nauseum previously, so my apology for bringing this up again if so.

No doubt there will be an opportunity to debate whether there ever was a debate, or when the actual debate was occurring, and between which parties...

Sounds good to me like

I doubt it will be anything of any substance that he has to say

...from an infrastructure perspective (motorway/trains etc), Edge Lane is perfect. Loads of space on the old Littlewoods side.

Most probably a repeat of what we know - have a site, working with 'partners' and LCC to figure out funding options.

Would be nice if it was more though.

Walton Hall Park would be an awful venue for getting out of. Only WH Ave and Queens Dr for access and exits. GP on the other is (or at least was when I read this a couple of years ago) officially the quickest place to disperse traffic from in the PL according to Police.

Disagree mate Queens Drive and the East Lancs rd on the doorstep get you anywhere pronto in fact their closeness to GP (minutes away) is probably the reason for GP's swift dispersal.

Ermm did he say anything on the radio? The last tweet about it was this -
