I believe the RS have some sort of trademark copyright on the liverbird? The name of the stadium should and will go to whatever company is willing to pay the most for naming rights. Moving next door to a sewage works would be an absolute disaster and shouldn't even be considered.

To be fair we already do
That article mentions Clarence dock as a potential site which would be Amazing as its only a 15-20 minute walk from the city center and doesnt have a sewage farm next door.

Think thye tried to do that mate and they got knocked back, the Liverbird is the symbol of the city not the club, so can't see how on earth that would have been allowed, especially as we used to have the thing on our kit way back as well

Just back from two Euro games in Bordeaux and Lille. Both fantastic stadiums.
The thing with both is that they were way outside the city centre and a nightmare to get back to the city from. One was on a team line, another on a metro line, but they couldn't cope with the crowds.
It just highlighted to me how important it will be to get a stadium within walking distance of the city centre.

Didn't like the oversized stairways in a few of the stadiums, as the fan sections looked quite small.

Just on a historic note, the Titanic never sailed from Liverpool. In fact at no time did it ever sail down the Mersey, even before it's maiden voyage which was from Southampton. The connection with Liverpool is that Titanic was registered here and the white star lines head office was in Liverpool also.
Also on a separate note, all this talk of a riverside name and which dock location the stadium will be built on. Have I missed something? Is the Croxteth option off the table? Can we definitely look forward to a riverside stadium?

Royal Blue: Moshiri's Everton legacy should be waterfront stadium
- 05:00, 25 JUN 2016

A once in a lifetime decision that could have a major impact on future generations for many years to come.
No, don’t go away, I’m not talking about Brexit but Everton’s stadium issue.
By the way with Scotland, Northern Ireland, London and indeed Liverpool all voting remain but provincial England and Wales chucking them out of the EU is this the beginning of the end for the Union?
In an age in which Evertonians have had to get by as the poor relations compared to some of their major Premier League rivals – who can forget David Moyes’ ‘taking a knife to gunfight’ remark about playing Manchester City – the additional transfer funds courtesy of Farhad Moshiri are like manna from heaven.
I admire the optimism of some Blues who have already declared that ‘Everton are back’ and younger supporters will only know the good times but I think a more cautionary note should be taken for now at least.
PODCAST: Do Blues really need a marquee signing?
The prospect of a £100million war chest for Ronald Koeman can only be a good thing – so long as Everton use the funds to attract genuine talent rather than mercenaries – but comparisons to the spending power employed by the aforementioned (Sky) Blues of Manchester following Sheikh Mansour’s takeover seem rather carried away, especially when £25million seemingly doesn’t even buy you Troy Deeney these days.
If Moshiri is to establish a lasting legacy at Everton it should be to finally provide the fans with a stadium fit for the modern Premier League game – presumably away from Goodison Park.
The demise of yet another pipe dream last month in the shape of Walton Hall Park prompted the almost instant revelation that Everton were now considering a couple of fresh potential sites.
But while there are seemingly two options on the table, with all due respect to Stonebridge Cross, there is, unlike the EU Referendum that split the country down the middle, only one choice in the eyes of most Evertonians and that’s a revival of the dream that died in the shape of a waterfront stadium.
Plenty of room: Clarence Graving Dock on Regent Road looking towards Trafalgar Dock (left) and Collingwood Dock (right) - a possible site for Everton's new stadium.
As Anfield’s gargantuan new main stand increasingly dominates the skyline in the north of the city, the Blues are crying out for an iconic building project of their own and while not as repugnant as the potential out-of-town switch to Kirkby, a potential move to Croxteth, several miles from any major rail network does not set the pulses racing.
Moshiri and company have already planned a few Goodison refurbishments in the meantime but such minor cosmetic adjustments must be mere tinkering before the major task at hand.
The Iranian appears to be a man eager to make things happen and Blues will hope that Liverpool Mayor Joe Anderson’s recent prediction that their team will be playing in a new stadium within three years comes to fruition.
KOEMAN: I've been influenced by the best but I'm my own man
The whole ground saga has rumbled on for far too long.
Now aged 36, and already into a second season of eligibility for ‘veterans league’ football, a certain landmark passed for yours truly when Tim Howard departed Goodison Park after a decade’s service.
The American goalkeeper was the last Everton player older than myself. I use this individual marker for a reason because Peter Johnson was getting his lackeys to produce felt tip drawings of a proposed Everton super stadium that never happened back when I was doing my A Levels and the Spice Girls were in their pomp.
Despite almost 84% of Evertonians voting in May 1997 to move to Peter Johnson's new stadium at an unspecified site, the Blues are still playing at an undeveloped Goodison Park almost two decades later
While any personal dreams of becoming a Premier League footballer had been abandoned before I first picked up a razor, a player of my equivalent age could have gone through his entire career now with Everton – presuming he wasn’t Wayne Rooney and scarpered at 18 – and never won a trophy.
The lack of silverware and a new stadium for the Blues can’t be entirely unrelated when it comes to fulfilling ambitions.
After doing so much to help obtain preferred bidder status for Kings Dock, many Evertonians young and old felt thoroughly let down by the club's inability to secure the relatively paltry figure of £35million back in the early noughties to make that move happen.
EU EXIT: What it means for Everton player recruitment
Now, a second previously unexpected golden opportunity is being dangled under their noses and Moshiri’s quiet but assured manner of getting things done must ensure it doesn’t slip through their fingers again.
If he can deliver on that score then he’ll remain part of Everton folklore long after the transient idols such as Romelu Lukaku and John Stones have kicked a ball for the last time and the 75% of under-25s who voted ‘Remain’ have been forced to come crawling back to Brussels after the old reactionaries and Middle England dropped them in it.
