Elstone/new stadium

[davek]

The CEO said on City FM this morning he and the council had identified four sites within the city that it'd be possible to relocate to (unidentified as yet). So it looks like they're washing their hands of Goodison. He also said, though, that they're looking to the private sector to come in and match the "40% funding that Tesco offered at Kirkby" to make a move work. So, it's looking like the retail enabling solution is dominant in the thoughts of the board and that it'll be through that route - rather than a mixed use private/public sector football quarter type approach - that progress will be sought.

It's little wonder they're heading in that direction given Green's continued influence. Recent articles on this dimension and the shadow he casts over the future of the club here:

No doubt a full statement will come from Elstone on his research group's findings, but the philosophy guiding it seems clear enough: move from GP with the aid of enabling cash from another Tesco-type deal.

Its hardly a surprise to be honest, was expecting same more or less.

Bet's on the four sites? I'm guessing Kirkby, Bootle, Speke and the Wirral.


Or loop, docks, factory which i can't remember, edge lane (?).

It'll obviously be somewhere [Poor language removed], with a [Poor language removed] stadium.

What you saying about The Wirral lad??

No way on Gods Earth would they come here, if they ever even thought about it, they should be shot.

On the river in the business park by speke is an obvious location, but there's already a massive retail park there.

Wait till the bandwagon starts then jump on it and ride it until it stops.

Are you nuts, the council have nothing to do with Kirkby or the Wirral.

What he said;

If Everton are discussing it with LCC it must be inside the city boundries,
I think the "retail enabling" part might be quite difficult though, as LCC contested Kirkby because of the impact it would have on Liverpool One.

Also im sure the Loop site cant be one of the four sites, as you can only just fit a stadium inside it, let alone a supermarket and other shops

It's in Stanley Park, the r/s are going to Waterloo and we are sticking a mega-netto somewhere on Kemlyn Rd.

From the banks of the Mersey
& even from Kirkby

I think that's what kopites'r'gobs1tes kept singing at the spellow.... he was slurring a bit.
