Good location, it's the main road into the centre of the city from the M62, at the moment it's a shame parts of it are in limbo, ie boarded up for too long waiting for all the development work to happen. It doesn't make a great first impression it has to be said.

But, if it were the site of a new stadium, places the club at the focal point of visitors to the city.
 

I saw this on another thread last week as a potential site (edge lane), I hope the design is right, though I liked the Kirkby stadium. I work with CAD, so I had a look at the CAD drawings on the official site and it all looked good.

Im not getting my hopes up just yet, I have been burned too many times before.

Joe Anderson to Meet Albert Gubay this Week

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Liverpool Council leader Joe Anderson is to fly to the Isle of Man to meet Edge Lane Retail Park owner Albert Gubay, seen here on the left. Joe has paved the way to make the redevelopment of a vital gateway into the city a reality through averting the threat of legal action and counter action between LCC and Gubay’s company Derwent Holdings

Derwent had wanted to add almost 570,000 sq ft of retail to their existing 430,000 sq ft at their Edge Lane retail park and enhance the area. It is understood architects, who have already drawn up plans which include replacement shops, a more appropriate 170,000 sq ft of additional retail space, an extension to the Rathbone Hospital and a replacement for Rathbone Park.

This modest addition of 170,000 sq ft compares dramatically with the proposed 500,000 sq ft of completely new retail proposed by Tesco at Kirkby which at the time they descibed as the minimum required to provide a 40% cross-subsidy for Everton's stadium.
 
This will not happen without the subsidised money Tesco were willing to offer in Kirkby, we haven't got a pot to piss in so who will fund it?

No one.
