Soon as that Guardian writer used the word “infelicities” I stopped reading. This is the kind of smug, officious, I’m-better-than-you, far-left-wing galaxy brain crap that makes people vote for the Tories.

The writer has been given a bit of a pasting in the comments and not just from Evertonians.

I read this and I found it incredibly bleak...

If you follow this guys opinion you'd never build anything.

Quick points:

- Architecture
The writer seems to complain about retro looks and faceless modern bowls, this makes no sense!
In my opinion, BMD is a bold ambitious architectural triumph in-keeping with the heritage of both the club and the area.

- Rejuvenation
He's correct in one way, a stadium is not a panacea for success on the field or for a city. However, if the Council and the populous invest then it will be... Take a look at the rest of Liverpool and tell me that large infrastructure doesn't rejuvenate an area (Albert Dock / Arena / Tate / Liverpool ONE). BMD is well located and in the middle of an area earmarked for redevelopment, it will anchor the development and attract it. Look at Tate Modern in London, the area will transform in the next 10 years. The examples the writer uses are not simple, Arsenal is in an area with some of the highest land costs in the world. BMD will not be like this

I literally just scrolled through expecting to find a bit about him rambling on about how great Anfield is and how all clubs should be aspiring to build something like that monstrosity.

Is it that bad? Granted I've never been there, but it certainly doesn't look any worse than what's around Goodison, or indeed the new ground (albeit it ought to be in much better shape in years to come). Around their ground looks absolutely fine to me.

It's not the aesthetic that's bad, it's just very deprived socially, more visible poverty and social problems than Walton which is bad enough. The walk from Seven Sisters station to the ground is an experience.

Does it look any different to this?

It's definitely not as nice as Anfield. Is it Charlie?

Pardon? I've never mentioned Anfield?

Pardon? I've never mentioned Anfield?

Who said that you did?
