New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[PhilM]

Man starts article desperate to criticise new stadium. Fails to find anything but publishes rambling pile of disjointed nonsense anyway.

Suppose we should spare a thought for all the staff that lost their jobs in the thriving world heritage UNESCO tourism industry at the docks before we ruined it with our colossal investment.

His brother wrote the autobiography for Margaret Thatcher, so I don't hold his or his family's perspective in high regard.

Sorry mate I don’t have any evidence of an opinion on a matter that is yet to happen.

Look at the state of this:

Inside Everton’s controversial new stadium | The Observer

The club’s new £800m home has finally opened on a waterfront site – that has been stripped of its Unesco status as a result

Pretty sure I read somewhere years ago (when this heritage site nonsense first came up) that BMD is actually outside of the boundary of what UNESCO deemed to be the heritage site. They wanted to strip us of it years ago during the Liverpool One development/capital of culture era. They just used us an excuse so they didn’t look like the bad guys.

This sounds ideal, but there are still match day parking restrictions round by The Clock/Walton Lane aren’t there?

Was wondering what was controversial about the stadium. It must have been the first Unesco world heritage site that included its own sewage plant.

Where was the outcry when UU filled in Sandon Dock ?

 

[Simo]

Excuse my ignorance, as not local, will there be somewhere to park at, by the pub?

In theory it goes out as far as Cherry Lane/Queens Drive.

Liverpool was placed on the “World Heritage in Danger” list in 2012 following concerns about the overall Liverpool Waters scheme. Basically any development which would develop the 18th century relics was a no-go in their eyes. I also recall a load of Chinese-led political shenanigans that meant a load of Chinese areas got added to the UNESCO list at the same time.

I don’t recall Everton getting the site before 2017.

Back to the drawing board for me
