New Everton Stadium

Because tens of thousands of people want to stand at football matches up and down the country & it's much much safer that standing in an area which is designed for seating.

I remember back in the old days in GSE. Need to get in early, get just to the right of goal with a barrier right behind you! but most importantly where there was an angle.
 
Getting back to the subject of location. I seem to remember reading some earlier posts mentioning proposals for a stadium complex including a museum, hotel and bars. If that was the case I don't see how all that would fit in Bramley-Moore. Especially if you consider that you would have to leave canal access on the west side of the dock.

Is it possible the purchase includes Nelson dock as well?
 


Safe standing should come back and will eventually.

In all honesty, I also fail to see why Hillsborough is used as an example in this? Hillsborough was not caused by fans standing but terrible policing which lead to too many people being directed into one pen, rather than spread across the stand. If the police had done their job correctly and also not opened that gate, it would not have happened.

Safe standing would remove the very unsafe practice of people standing in full seater stadiums. Also, given with safe standing everyone still has a ticketed 'standing area/seat' it would be impossible for a situation similar to Hillsborough to arise.

Emotive a subject as Hillsborough is, it shouldn't mean we are unable to explore safe standing. If the majority of football fans want it back and, once explored, it is deemed safe, then it should be brought back.
 
Isn't the dock wall at Bramley dock listed?
I was thinking that this will surely cause a problem for people leaving the ground.

There is only a single entrance gate at the northern end of BM dock, and a double gate at the southern end. (There's also a double gate at the southern side of Nelson dock - if that was to be included).

As everybody needs to enter and leave the ground from this side, surely this will cause a problem if additional gates can't be knocked through.

....there might be walkways and flyovers from the ground.
