Everton FC Kirkby stadium scheme in jeopardy
Their just not going to let this lie are they!! Pisses me off.
We'll stay at goodison an become a good championship side.
PLANS for Everton FC’s new stadium in Kirkby could be “killed off” if the scheme is called in for a public inquiry, says the chief executive of Knowsley.
The warning comes after Sefton council’s planning committee, as expected, formally objected to the plan last night.
Sheena Ramsey said plans for the £400m Tesco-led scheme, which includes a new 50,000-seat Everton stadium, would be severely jeopardised by a government call-in, almost certainly delaying the project by up to a year.
Her comments come days after Everton FC chief executive Keith Wyness admitted he was concerned about the effect of a potential Government-run inquiry.
The stark warnings are based on the darkening economic outlook. It is indicated that the money assembled for this scheme, both by Everton and Tesco, will not be available indefinitely. They point to the impact of the credit crunch elsewhere.
Ms Ramsey is making everyone aware that the stakes could not be higher, believing that not only the major redevelopment of Kirkby, but the whole credibility of the Merseyside City Region, is on the line.
Knowsley officials believe the scheme is a crucial test of whether the different councils on Merseyside can recognise that the proposal is good for the sub- region as a whole.
Ms Ramsey dismisses any hopes of reviving a joint Liverpool/Everton stadium plan as “bizarre”.
Ms Ramsey said: “This is a huge opportunity to show Westminster, which sees Merseyside as dysfunctional, that we can get our act together.”
Yesterday, the Daily Post revealed how Liverpool City Council had deferred a potential objection to the bid because Tesco had agreed to slash the retail element of the plan by 25%.
But last night members of Sefton council planning committee went ahead and unanimously lodged an objection to the scheme, in line with off- icers’ recommendations. This decision, however, was based on Tesco’s original proposal, rather than the revised scheme.
The question is whether the plan for a stadium, Tesco superstore and shops in Kirkby town centre can be accommodated without unduly affecting retailers in Sefton, St Helens, Skelmersdale (which has its own major retail plans), and Liverpool One.
Everton FC spokesman Ian Ross said: “We remain hopeful that the application will go straight through without being called in.
“But we’ve outlined the possible consequences of such a call-in. Before all that, we must wait to see what the borough council’s planning department has to say.”
Michael Kissman, of Tesco, said: “I don’t think anyone here wants to jeopardise this. This is something Kirkby has not seen for a generation.”
Speaking last month, Mr Wyness said: “We are concerned about the long-term ramifications of a Government call-in.”

Wyness is also hopeful that there will soon be news on Everton's proposals for a new stadium.
"We are getting towards the planning situation, it is a very complex world the planning world," said Wyness.
"We are hoping in the next few months we will have some firm decisions and have a spade in the ground very soon.
"It will be May or June before any planning decision of any consequence."

Kirkby will be a noose around EFCs neck until it has squeezed the life breath out of it. Stupid location, rubbish stadium, nightmare travel for most fans and a totally crap commercial concept as far as corporate entertainment goes. BK / KW might get a few boxes sold but I bet they wouldnt come back in too much of a hurry, not to Kirkby. Different scenario if the ground was in town ( Kings Dock...sigh ) or The Loop or even at a redeveloped GP. Goodison can be redeveloped, The Loop is possible, Walton Hall Park would be great, Stanley Park would have been great. This bloody Kirkby debacle started out as 55000, its now been reduced to 50000, if it goes any lower, what is the point of moving from Goodison when it would definately cost less to develope it than building a new ground on a different site / location.
Bloody Kenwright is a liar and Wyness is an obese ugly liar. If they say we cant afford it then *uck them. How can we afford 78, 100 or 130Million especially on a further reduced capacity. They are keeping very quiet about the anticipated gate revenue, but they have to get in more than 10Mill extra or again, what is the point. Moving grounds is massive. Kenwright and Wyness are NOT capable of doing the best for the long term future of Everton FC !

1) Stupid Location? Whats stupid about it?
2) Rubbish Stadium? Open debate, i like the design. Others like the redshites new ground i think it looks heidous.
3) Nightmare travel? What right off the motorway and a major A road. Yeh nightmare that!
4) Answers on a postcard what you know about corporate entertainment please
Loop is too small and we cant afford to redevelop GP. Both are off the agenda. Deal with it.
Why would Walton Hall Pk be great? Because its in the boundary, its a [Poor language removed] location with limited access

Location.....So everyone will arrive by car then ? and there wont be any traffic problems, hope not....The public transport plan is ridiculous. It will take us back thirty years. Why would anybody want to wait without shelter to queue up to enter a train station or bus station for what could be hours. Being herded around by police on horses etc. Doesnt sound like a great match day experience to me.
I admit, I dont know about Corporate entertainment, but my point about it was really to do with location. I am assuming that a ground nearer the city centre would attract more of this type of client and for whom may be a better location for their guests. I understand these private boxes cost companies tens of thousands of pounds ? A city location might justify this cost better ? Maybe not, obviously you do know about this subject.
The stadium design at best could be called utility. The club have described it as a mid level facility. The club are saying they are looking to the future with this, they are obviously not. This stadium could be EFCs home for the next 100 years. I think we deserve better than this.
So you think nothing could be done with Goodison Park for £130Million ? and youve been privvy to detailed costing plans etc for this and you agree that they are unaffordable.
You didnt make any comment re. increased turnover etc. or maybe that should be, decreasing all the time possible extra turnover, paying for the debt, The size of the stadium is an important point as it has alot to do with the clubs revenue and this is one of Wyness's main points of argument about relocating but the proposed capacity seems to be shrinking all the time.

I think you're right in that the stadium at Kirkby is, at best, utilitarian - it's fit for purpose. Add to that the fact that it will cost us at least £80m, if not £100m or maybe more, and the idea of redeveloping Goodison appears attractive to me. Really, what could be done to our spiritual home with the amount of money we have to spend anyway? One sticking point is whether we could increase capacity. Bully Wyness says not, KEIOC say yes. I don't trust either of these sources. But I'm getting more and more turned off the Kirkby idea.
