New Everton Stadium

That made it more technically difficult (the ralways line). It's where its situated really that held it up, it's a fairly salubrious part of Dublin around it. Lots of judges and influential people live within a Tim Howard kick out of the ground and they wanted it moved to a greenfield site, which was never going to happen.

It was also difficult during construction as there was very tight restrictions on when it could start and had to finish each day. Getting materials to the site was also complicated.

The river didn't cause any issues as it's about 200 yards from the stadium

So if it's the docks with us I can see us in the new stadium by 2020 mate

Right to light for residents in Havelock Square (north end of the ground) meant that end is much lower and there is loads of glass.

But, overall it was pretty efficiently done.

You'd have to think that planning would be a lot more straightforward if we get a site on the docks. Construction should be made easier by the fact it's a brownfield site and easy access by river. I dunno if there would have to be a public consultation process or if there is how long that would drag on for. It took ages with Lansdowne Rd.

Yeah it was the right compromise, even if it does look a bit odd when you see it for the first time. I think it won some architectural award at the time it was finished.

If we do build a new stadium which may cost say 200 mill for arguments sake on the waterfront. It would not be long before that investment will show up on the balance sheet as a capital asset worth far more than the construction cost it is that which the Moshiiri can see - added value to the club. It would be plus, plus for the club all day long, in fact do it properly in that location and it will be iconic far more than GP will ever be or that the ground of that other lot.

We have been looking at new stadium designs for a number of years , unfortunately we could never afford the cost.
I think that we probably have a very good idea of what we need in the stadium , facilities , capacity etc. These issues are crucial and I would think the length of any new project will be shorter because of all the information that is already researched.

We need a venue, a design , costings and of course planning. I would again expect that planning and costing are largely concurrent and we have seen posts already where costings have been sought for some building materials.
If/when a deal for a site is confirmed I think we will see real progress.
Spurs were similar, they had been ready for long to build a new stadium , when they finally got the opportunity it was able to race ahead.

Have we?

Also, the needs of a stadium are pretty much the same, the real changes in the majority of stadium builds is the needs of the site itself, and the needs of its surroundings, it is these things that drive the shape and form of the building. It is one thing having an idea of what you want, it quite something else when you know what you can achieve. Not every building will work everywhere. Then you have the infrastructure to consider, and that truly is bespoke.
