New Everton Stadium

Its a bit further out than what a lot of people may think. My only concern location wise is if nothing else gets built between there and princes dock it could well look isolated and not part of the expanding city centre. Its a good walk from town too. A good 30-35 minutes and not the 10 minutes many seem to think.

Good. For a major city, Liverpool city centre is tiny. It needs expanding, and a stadium infrastructure project on this scale (£100s of millions) so close to the centre will naturally lead to further development in the area, including small business and housing. It will connect the city centre to the Liverpool Waters area, even if Peel don't develop anything else down there. This is much more preferable to building the stadium in the established city centre (like the King's Dock proposal) because it gives more scope for the project itself, while also benefitting the growth of the city centre core.
 
The distance from the stadium into town is not too far away from here.

And there's also a grade one listed building in the site, the hydraulic engine house on entrance to the site

Pretty much all of Bristols docks have been redeveloped over the last 20 years or so, and they managed to retain quite a few Grade 1 sites within the new stuff.

Would disagree that it's tiny (particularly if you consider the University district to be part of the city centre) but it should be bigger, yes. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. Although I was sick we missed out the KD, there is so much more room here to do something draw dropping. Here's hoping. Would be good if they were to build some top grade office buildings there, too. We need more to attract companies. It would be much more attractive than some out of town business park.
 

Is that the Bramley Moore, though? Is it not the Trafalgar/Clarence Docks? We are blessed with lots of black hacks, ideal way to hop down there after a pint in town. Arriving there at about 1pm for a 3pm kick off. :cheers:

Bramley is a mile and half or so, liquid breakfast and lunch in town before staggering along the front to our glorious new home. Only to see West Brom beat us 1-0 on the opening game

Everton that

That actually brings up a point, which although quite selfish, I've considered a few times with regards to a dockland stadium.

I, like many others, enjoy a few pints before the game and endeavour to get as much time in the pub chatting with friends as I can possibly get.

That often means leaving about 14.40 to get to the ground for ten minutes before hand. Unfortunately there's not many boozers around the area.

So, unless they create ample new bars within close proximity most people will probably head towards town before hand for a few drinks.

That could cause a bit of a rush and congestion as people will try to maximise as much time socialising before hand as possible.

The thought of getting into the ground with ages to spare just gives me the shivers. Still, a new stadium will be fantastic!
