I only mentioned Kirkby because I was falsely accused (again) of being against anything other than redevelopment, and also to respond to the paucity/fallacy of the argument of not ever questioning "professionals".
No-one ever said that Kirkby was outside Merseyside.... however the key point was that it was a poor location on the peripheries and was clearly at the behest of third parties. Most of the same arguments would've applied to a proposal to move to Speke or Gillmoss (both within the city boundary), albeit with a slight name change to the campaign.
