2 years or not, I'll be happy, even ecstatic when they start the build. Then we'll have certainty.
If it hasn't been started in 2 years time I'll probably have lost interest.
Sadly I wouldn't put it past them
For openers, one would think more than an "indication from LCC" that planing permission would be forthcoming is grounds to buy the land.....the land would need to be bought with a cast iron, binding agreement that it was full steam ahead.
And this is why I am becoming somewhat sceptical that we will be playing in a state of the art super stadium by the river.
Because even if Moshiri was being his normal inscrutable self (except when he is speaking to his good buddy, Jim) and saying nowt.....Uncle Bill would be rightly trumpeting the fact all over the place.
I mean, one wouldn't buy a plot of land to build a house on unless planning permission was in place.
As you say, it would be the height of stupidity to do so.
I am just finding it weird that no one at the club is trying to enthuse the fans about any aspect of the club and create a bit of a buzz around the place, especially with us making such a solid start to the season.
Is it really too much to ask that EFC keep the fans informed as to what stage plans for a new stadium are at?

It really doesn't make much sense for them to say anything until everything's all done and dusted in regards to planning, etc. It's basic PR, if they made an announcement every step of the way then something went awry they'd be opening themselves up to all sorts of abuse.Sadly I wouldn't put it past them

Agree with this but, being ignorant of the workings of planning applications etc, is it not the case that a planning application would automatically put the details into the public domain?
Not sure how they could get the go-ahead "behind closed doors".
Are planning decisions or votes open for scrutiny as soon as they are tabled?
Would that also mean more council members on the planning committee would have to keep quiet about it?
Somewhat confused as to the idea that the club can just have a big presentation saying this is what's happening and its 100% done and dusted?

Made up that West Have aren't having a good time at 'their' new stadium. If the views aren't good then that's almost impossible to fix.
I didn't realise they contributed quite so little to the cost of converting it to a football stadium.
They deserve everything they get.
I'm assuming Upton Park, or 'The Boleyn Ground' as they started to call it is in the process of demolition now.
Hahahahahaha. I bet the new bubble machines are good though.

Indeed.
As I understand it, planning applications are actually public things and must be advertised so that any would be objectors can lodge their objections.

The formal application yes. But on a development like this they'd need council backing before it got to that stage, and in this case due to the listed structures on the site they'd no doubt have discussions with English Heritage to ensure that they were happy with whatever was going to be proposed.
There'll be plenty of discussion before the formal application for planning is lodged, and agreement in principle is reached

Anything positive from the club about us being linked to this site would have a massive impact on our support, and the whole club and team would benefit from that.Sadly I wouldn't put it past them

The thought of a world class river side stadium is making me feel like a kid on Christmas morning. There'll be nothing like it anywhere in the world. If it's anything like what's been rumoured it'll blow Castle Greyskull out of the water and then some. It'll become a big attraction for the city of Liverpool and really help put us back on the map.
I just feel a bit for the businesses around Goodison, which would undoubtedly suffer.

Yes.
And you would think positive, concrete news about a new stadium could only help when trying to sell the club to potential big name signings.
It is all so Everton, we never seem to get the PR right these days.
Too good to be true.
This is a project which will cost 100s of millions it is about as far removed from "buying a plot of land to build a house on " as you can get.Sadly I wouldn't put it past them

It is a multi faceted project where issues like access and facilities have to discussed and put in place at the same time as the stadium is being built.
I think that ultimately what we will see when this project finally becomes public is that most of the stages involved have already been covered during this negotiating period and that the club may be a lot closer to actually getting a spade in the ground than you might expect with a project of this nature.
I think this may be what Joe Anderson was referring to when he was talking about the timescale.
We can question if Moshiri has a knowledge of how to build a successful team and club.
But, the ground development is pure business, and there are not too many as successful as he in that area.
