New Everton Stadium Discussion

[brigadier]

A world heritage site of a massive piece of concrete covered in weeds in an industrial area, GET TO F...!

I work not far from it, it's a carpark for a dozen cars and a dumping ground , this is why liverpool have fell behind Manchester year on year, a heritage site for empty crisp packets blowing around.

really am sick of these hemp yoga mat using, vegan, sandle wearing moaners. Not just BMD, but christ they are just looking for something to rant about.

Worst thing is they will keep going and going and going because they have nothing better to do

 

[mightymoyes]

They're going to have to come up with something else to announce the way this week is going

announce they don't give a monkeys what UNESCO thinks and they'll get plenty of goodwill

Exactly this.

Yes, it has historic significance. So do all the other unused docks.

They offer nothing at all at the moment... Barren wastelands that stop any development down that way

Who is refurbishing the Clock?

That's not on BMD.

 

[BNJ1878]

That's not on BMD.

I know, which Is why I questioned the previous post about Everton Renovating the old Pumphouse AND the Clock

I'd imagine it will get done one day, but it clearly forms no part of our plan.

If I'm right in thinking (I may not) but isn't it the dock walls and who built them that's the issue, surely if so they could be incorporated into the design for the ground. It should go ahead, it'll improve that part Liverpool / the front no end.

What did UNESCO think about the Museum on the Pier Head?

If you're talking about the "Dock Walls" along Regent Road, that was what I initially thought they were worried about.

It's infact the "wet walls" inside the dock that they're whining about. Absolutely ridiculous - a site the public couldn't access, and even if they could 80% of the wall is hidden under water.

Meh, it’s happening. Consider it a brexit upside, those pesky foreigners can’t tell us what we can and can’t do with our docks.

Covid has hit this country hard, a massive project like BMD is a gift horse. Should be fast tracked.

 

[Brisan123]

They should let Unesco inspect the Everglades at night, with a ring of sausage tied around their neck.

I can think of a more suitable place to put the sausage

Davina McCall loves sausage.

The Albert Dock is there if you want to look and learn about the history of the Docks. Bramley Moore is a derelict waste ground. Would be outrageous to call it in.

 

[Magus]

It's not just the history they are worried about, it's the integrity of the dock system. I suppose it would be like preserving a vintage car but without the engine or moving parts, so I find it understandable from the Unesco and HE viewpoint, but even residential development would remove any chance of retaining it as a working dock, so I think their argument is weak.

Around 2014 I was working offshore on the construction of the Gwynt y Môr wind farm off the north Welsh coast, and on a couple of occasions we had a port call in one of the Gladstone docks. I remember standing on the back deck looking south down along the Mersey at all the absolute nothingness that was happening dockside, and thinking to myself what an absolute waste of an area it was, and what a fantastic location somewhere down there would be for major redevelopment and for a new Everton stadium.

Genuinely can’t believe that 6-7 years later we’re so close to actually getting planning permission granted for it.
