New Everton Stadium Discussion

[Wizard]

Visited today, and just got home.

Left Central station around 1-00pm, got to Sandhills around 1-06pm.

Turn left down Sandhills Lane, past the Skoda dealership down to the dock road.

Turn left past Sandon and Wellington docks, got to BM dock pub around 1-15pm.

The stadium build is looking amazing.

The BMD pub.

Needs TLC , but lovely friendly staff, and Guinness was £3-70 a pint, and not bad.

Met 2 fantastic Toffee's in there, Keith and Mark, and 5 hour drinking session ensued.

We discussed Everton, the American civil war, David Bowie, politics, and the demented RS.

A great day, but WRECKED!

This is a wonderful post. Sounds like a great day

At the end of the day the pub can look a mess but you care not one jot if the drinks are pleasant enough and the company is good. It's a throwback pub to an age long gone.

The dock road used to be full of pubs like that.

People make pubs, not the decor.

One curious thing is that the pub sign says it was established in 1758.... I think that's 90 yrs before the dock opened and over 40 years before John Bramley-Moore was even born. I wonder what it's original name was? It also has an upstairs bar/restaurant, which I assume might well become a matchday private members bar.

Does anyone have a projected completion date?

Does anyone have a projected completion date?

In the Athletic article about the MSP investment from a few days ago, there's a line which states that the construction is ahead of schedule and the club is hopeful it will be completed in the 24/25 season, but no completion date has been set.

Moshiri told them he would do the pub up, doubt that will happen now.

They'll have all the reasons to do this themselves. If I recall correctly there is a lot of fixed furniture in there, this will probably be cut down to allow for a lot more people to come in.

Great stuff!

I'll have to get back down there on the bike, been scared to even look at it going past on the train the last few months seriously though, been on the back burner for a while now, can come back to the forefront of positive focus now and will be good to dig out me old sand dredging vids for nostalgic purposes.

Looks fresh, too.

Lifting cables still attached.

If there is no real ale in a pub, I don't set foot in it. That is my first consideration.

I enjoyed having a Guinness in the Bramley, and looking at our new home
