Goodison, which he picks up for a song in the deal, does a compulsory acquisition on the nearby houses, and has the new stadium named after himself! Andersons Dome!

"Liverpool and Manchester are in talks about a joint bid to host the 2022 Commonwealth Games. The “M62” bid would be led by Liverpool, which would host the athletics, with Manchester potentially hosting cycling and swimming in venues that were built for the 2002 Commonwealth Games."
If this Times report is accurate where exactly in Liverpool is Joe proposing to hold the athletics?

Unfortunately this CWG talk will just not die. Time to accept our fate that our stadium will not not be compact, steep and itimidating. If this is happening the council will need to pick up a large part of the cost

No, the athletics stadium would be built at Stonebridge Cross and the RS will move into it afterward!
A joint bid with Manchester could be a serious rival to Birmingham.
Pretty sure the bid will include athletics at our proposed new stadium.
Doesnt mean we have a permenant running track. Wembley stadium can have a running track installed in 2 weeks. Would reduce the capacity, but it can be done.

I would rather stay at Goodson than go to a new stadium like West Ham with the ruination of a former running track.
If we end up paying hundreds of millions for a crock that clubs like city and W Ham virtually pick up for free then we will truly have surpassed ourselves ( it will also show our custodians aren't bothered about anything other than turning a fast buck)

That joint bid was discussed ages ago. I can't believe the shock seeing from the very start Anderson said about using the manc velodrome and aquatic venues.
Before heads fall off there are still a few choices. So let's not panic quite yet.
We may just host the opening/closing ceremonies at BM and a temporary Athletics stadium built elsewhere. Maybe they will fill nelson and build side by side so it's still in the village so to speak?
If not we could be moving in after the games have taken place, and we will have retractable seating and moveable stands making a multi purpose venue. I've banged on about this in the past so not going to repeat here.
Or how about this idea, as it's already a hole in the ground it's possible we could build our stadium so only the top tier sits above. imagine the design has 3 tier sides with single and a double decker stands for goal ends that only go as high as the walls of the dock (for ease of thinking not to dissimilar to the lucas oil stadium etc.) So our part of the stadium would just be two single tier stands at the sides. (Remember city's went from the middle tier so we would have a better chance with 2 beneath to get a closer perimeter with the pitch) The athletics platform bridges across the top of the dock, and two temporary ends are built.
After the games the ends are removed along with the platform across the dock, the pitch can then be installed and the roof can be completed for 'our' ends. (which would just be windows looking out and the covering structure)
The point is there is many ways to do this and still have the stadium we want. It will share nothing with the Olympic Stadium and I guess the minimum brief would be to make it better in terms of proximity and steeper and therefore more intimidating than the Etihad. (*If it even happens)

Yes it will. Inevitable it will. When and where has it been done before and NOT compromised the shape of a stadium?

The Etihad and the Emirates are not what we should be looking to emulate. They are not intimidating. Their shape is awful. And home advantage is undermined with that distance behind the goals.

Meis is aware of what the club and the fans want, he has mentioned this several times in his tweets, but yet the usual suspects keep deciding to not trust or believe him, which is a little strange
