New Everton Stadium

[everton2004]

Very important that Esk.

We are The People's Club, not The People With Deeper Pockets Than Others' Club.

I think don't think the people that run our club will want to throw that away.

I don't get why people suddenly think its not Clarence Dock? I have read back through and cant see any reasoning for this. There was a story in the echo just a few days ago saying that the club had been told that the land for Clarence Graving Dock would be £20m. In the grand scheme of things, that is not very much money at all. Buy taking on a 15 hectare site the club would have enough space for the stadium, plus space all kinds of leisure and residential development.

It's not Clarence Dock. The Echo read something on the KEIOC website, which itself has some glaring untruths/mistakes in it and copied it near verbatim with little to no journalistic investigation. They attributed the cost to a £/acre figure and guessed that it would match the size of land at Trafalgar/Clarence.

Not to mention that the available land at BM is larger than that at Trafalgar/Clarence as you have to consider the existing canal waterway.

Thinking of swimming lid?

So the next article of meltdown will be over which docks the site of the stadium will be - "should have been Trafalgar Dock - BM dock is too far out - we'll get a flatpack stadium like the Reebok. Moshiri is a fraud, where is the Stones money?".

I suspect this post will prove very prescient

All very exciting this but will there still be lids around to mind the car when me and me dad drive up?

Oh aye, but nowhere to park like.......

I thought it was mentioned here ages ago about the problem with BM dock being too close to the water treatment plant. Is that not the case?

Load of sh1te that rumour

My understanding is that Peel are keen to have the stadium bookend their development rather than define it. A stadium on Bramley Moore will announce the start of Liverpool Waters and the City, where as it would draw away from the feel if it was in the centre. From a master-planning pov it makes much more sense to utilise BM for a build such as this. We have to remember that while we have the money, they have to be willing to sell, and with this it is effectively the decision of Peel as to what happens up until the point of purchase. I have no idea if Trafalgar and adjacent were ever discussed as part of potential purchase, but it would surprise me if every dock hadn't been mentioned as potential during very early discussions. A Stadium there would also have a much greater effect on the visibility of the historic buildings that currently define the North docks skyline than at BM, when viewed from the popular viewing points across the water.

Thanks for taking the time to explain.
Does this mean the footprint is limited to the actual water area of BM dock or do you think it would include the land on wellington dock as well.?
