New Everton Stadium

Why is it? Because the club aren't ready to announce it yet? What happened to patience
How long do you have to be patient? KD failed, Kirby failed, WHP failed.
Moshiri hype train has left the station.

Wwell excuseme sunshine but I think you might find a lot of Evertonian'sd patience ran out after the previous three potential ground moves all came to nothing.

ANd even The Esk has gone quiet on this one.

AS said by others more knowledgeable than me, until something is anounced, then it's just a dream.

Thanks, Ted.
Esk has gone far from quiet on this one, I trust the person who has told me, and if esk doesn't mind me speaking for him he is as confident as ever that it's happening , but yes carry on
 

So having had a brief catch up on events:

The Docks will cost 30m for the land or we could build on Stone bridge Cross for free.

So that's an iconic location which could potentially be the the envy of the league on one of the most picturesque locations... or a stadium and Moussa Sissoko.

I know which I would choose.

anyone posted this yet?

this caught my eye

'Peel secured planning permission for an ambitious £5.5bn redevelopment project for the north Liverpool docks in 2012 – with no stadium involved – but the area remains derelict. 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.'

that sounds awfully like 'filling in the dock to build on'

That's exactly what it means
 
For the people who are determined to be Debbie Downers, consider this.

It hasn't 'gone quiet', because the national press are currently being briefed about how much the land will cost.

And Andy Hunter is on a par with Paul Joyce for being reliable journos when it comes to Everton news.

Something is clearly happening behind the scenes.

A new stadium of suitable quality for us will cost circa £200m-£300m. It takes time to put various funding packages and loans into place, to purchase land, to negotiate with LCC the various enabling works required. To agree on how the roads surrounding the ground will be upgraded, looking at transportation issues, completing feasibility studies, looking at how draining the dock and filling it in will work. Then there's the surrounding areas, the affected businesses, the accompanying projects and how they will fit in with a new stadium in such a place. Even if we have the land secured, we can't just plonk a stadium in the middle of it, thought needs to be given to regeneration in the surrounding area.

This takes a long time. Moshiri has been in a position of power for 7 months. A dock stadium has only been a tangible possibility ever since he came on board. It takes a long time to sort stuff out.

Stamping your feet because LFC are opening a New Stand (that took them 2 years to build and also 14 years before that to complete compulsory purchase orders of the surrounding land) and you feel left out, and using current perceived 'inertia' as a sign nothing will happen is foolish in the extreme. Yeah, we've been burnt in the past and let down, but if things are to change, they don't just instantly change, and they certainly don't instantly change 7 months after someone has arrived when it comes to something like a £300m stadium in a desirable yet complicated waterside location.

So yeah, maybe a bit of patience is in order, even if you have your doubts. All we have had thus far is positive noises from several key people. That's a good start and better than nothing at all.

Excellent post, add to that I think Andy hunter is actually quite far behind where this is upto
