The planning application was guided by the transport group, of which Rotheram's office and the city council were part. If they were looking at no investment on transport at that stage for a built stadium and had no plans to fund transport improvements around BMD they should have ripped that application up when it hit the planning departments desk.
They didn't because they wanted regeneration from Everton and so they went along with a flawed plan to get something like 55,000 people per home game into an awkwardly remote-for-transport facility.
We've been over this and you simply wont face up to that and continue to defend, not the decision to pass it, but the right of LA's in the aftermath of a build to expect a partner in the regeneration of their city to carry the can on transport. That's unfathomable for a supporter of the club. It's just an unreasonable position to take up.
