New Everton Stadium

[Saint Domingo]

Why does everyone always go on about transport links? Goodison is probably in the least accessible area in Liverpool yet everyone still gets to the game. Where is more accessible than the city centre? SC will limit transport to people who have cars.

 

[The Cowboy]

You absolutely can.

Nah, what it actually says is 'Somebody's Cross...' and in smaller writing below it says '...and that somebody is every kopite, when they see our new waterfront stadium!'

They might if other sites are unrealistic.

In your opinion do you think the Docks is realistic?

 

[Bluerifleman]

The backlash if they pick this site will be something not yet seen before from this fan base.

Why can things just not fall into place even once????

I don't want to sound like I'm arguing with you because I'd love for us to build on the docks and I think building in a location like Stonebridge cross is poor, but other than certain 'ITK's' on here and Twitter, has there been any suggestion that the docks is even being considered a viable option?

 

[ToffeeTim]

Put your head back on mate,

Kevin lad I care far more about this than any signing.

It's a complete acceptance of defeat to pick a cheap, unglamorous, second rate option like this. I'll lose it if this is true.

I'll join KEIOC and everything

....i dare say bus routes will become more available.

Anderson coming out and saying two sites are under consideration and one was the docks?

Well it's not quite city centre - it's a bit of a schlepp from say, Lime St Station - half an hour walk. Plus it's only accessible from 3 directions due to the natural barrier of the Mersey, as opposed to all 4 which Goodison is.
Parking in the area is not copious, and again because of the lack of routes away it would be a nightmare parking then leaving.

Not saying it's insurmountable - just that it's complicated.

Joe Anderson himself tweeted something few months back if I am not mistaken

If this is only option then we stay at Goodison simple as.

A move like this would be complete betrayal.

 

[Dymak]

It will be like getting to and from Lille's ground... Crap!

 

[KUEFC09U2]

@The_La didnt you say that the docks where infact on today's meeting agenda?

Or let's wait and see plans and concrete info first before going off your head?

Honestly, I have no idea, ive had a look and with my extensive knowledge of building world class stadia, im gonna go with YES.

But no, I had a good long look 1 night, I even compared the Goodison and Anfield footprint by using a ripped up piece of paper and googlemaps and its TIGHT, very TIGHT, the land, you know, with it being on the waterfront, is landlocked, the whole place is surrounded by big massive warehouses, theres listed buildings all over the place.

The whole area is full of little farty little streets, transport wise it would be utter mayhem, especially if there was an event on at The Echo Arena, good luck getting out of that hell.

So baring all that in mind, if we dont move to The Docks it will be for the reasons I listed above.

But I aint no buildering dude, so realistically I honestly havent got a clue.
