New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

If the timing is true it will be the confirmation of the land purchase, although I had expected that after the window had closed.

Would it be fair to say that the land purchase is the most difficult obstacle to overcome in building the new stadium?

How exciting is this! Cant wait.

Game changer.

Probably one of two mate, planning is always a potential problem, although in this case it's difficult to see many objections.

The only potential problem I can think of is capacity issues given the lack of transport infrastructure but I assume that will be covered in the development plans. Regardless, a 55/60k stadium should not present a problem in that respect.

How much is it all going to cost ?

So the Echo were reporting that "if" we want to buy the land it's £20m-odd, when in reality we've more or less already agreed to buy it?

Shows how much they know lol

as esk pointed out the echo as usual are way behind where this actually is

Some bluenose on NSNO has apparently had a chat with our Bill last night.

Bill said an announcement is due on Thursday of this coming week about developments re the new stadium.

Once this is announced the good times will roll with signings that will make the rest sit up and pay attention.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Totally confident it is within the Bramley Moore/Clarence Dock confines.

Swoon!

Excellent news to start the day.

The full backing of LCC to the build will help us no end in gaining planning permission. There is a real sense that this redevelopment is much more than just a new stadium.

Cheers Esk!

Considering all the false starts we've had previously, i'd be quite happy with them announcing it the day they begin breaking ground on the site.

No mate, relocating the Blue Dragon is going to be the real challenge.

Physical proof of our renaissance, the Blue Liver Bird is rising...

I'm trying so hard not to get my hopes up ffs

Clarence Dock would be my preference, just for its more central location.

But I suppose, depending on the scale of the development, the land we use could occupy both?

Very possible
