New Everton Stadium

[tommye]

Do we?
It's right next to the docks

Think the clue is in the name.
Bramley....nope
Moore......nope
Dock?

 

[Bullet]

The site would require significant enabling works before the construction of a new stadium could take place, unlike Everton’s second option in Croxteth, where the land at Stonebridge Cross is ready for development.

Confirmation, in the papers, that no deal has been secured for Brambly Moore. Looks like the loan facility was to pay Bobby off in one lump sum.
It's down to Docks v SC. Docks will cost £30m and require significant works.
SC will be free and is ready to develop. All hoping for docks but after the transfer window I'm not holding my breath.

As much as I like Andy Hunter of the Guardian he is behind the curve on this one.

If so, then why deprive long-suffering Evertonians of any good news?

Why when we have the docks.....

Because they need 'good news' to present at the Everton AGM in two months time at the Philharmonic Hall.

If they announce it now, there will be pressing 'Any progress made yet?' questions in 2 months time.

All that paper is reporting is what they know, or have been told. What they know or have been told is wrong.

Oh I agree with you and have been told by a few the land has been purchased.
I am trying to understand what benefit those that be at the club have in not announcing it to a fan base desperate to hear something positive.

So indulge us Esk.

I'm no too bothered about where a journalist thinks we're at, but the mayor doesn't seem to think it's as far along as whispers have suggested:

“Things are really positive. No option is ruled out but everyone knows my preferred option. Everyone knows the club’s preferred option. There are discussions taking place and we’re at the heart of that trying to move things on"

Given that he is apparently "at the heart of that," you'd expect a more vague "things are progressing well," if we really were as far along as we'd all like to believe.

As it is, he's basically saying that the site is still up in the air.
