Talks over aborted Everton ground

Aborted plans for Everton's new stadium in Kirkby could be revived after the intervention of the government.
North West Minister Phil Woolas has met with Knowsley Council to explore new ways of developing the 50,000-capacity ground and Tesco superstore.
Officials will examine whether a plan with less retail space is possible.
But with Everton declaring the move dead, local MP George Howarth said there were "lots of bridges to cross" before new plans could be drawn up.
Mr Howarth, the Labour MP for Knowsley North and Sefton East, said his primary concern was for the regeneration of Kirkby.
The MP said his colleague Mr Woolas met with council officials to see if the proposal could be salvaged by amending it.

"The main objection against the previous one was the amount of retail, and he's looking at whether or not a new plan with less retail - presumably including the new stadium - is possible.
"At this stage there are still an awful lot of bridges to cross before we can say that's definitely going to happen."
As well as the regeneration of the area, Mr Howarth admitted the government was also concerned about the impact on England's bid to host the 2018 World Cup.

"If we were to win the bid there wouldn't be any of the matches played on Merseyside because there isn't a suitable stadium," he added.
"It's very early days but there is a glimmer of hope."
Councillor Ron Round, leader of Knowsley Council, said Monday's meeting was productive, but said his focus was very much on Kirkby and not the stadium proposal.
"We discussed options for how we are going to regenerate Kirkby and I felt as if we made significant progress," he said.
"We all agreed that we need to maintain the momentum to ensure that the people of Kirkby have a town centre that they can be proud of.
"At this stage we are not ruling a stadium in or out of the plans but our main emphasis is on regeneration."

So contrasting views eh?

I wont argue, I don't like the loop site that much. Would be ingenious, but no room for future expansion.

Really boss for bevvying in town though. And that's what counts.

Its not chico, lose the agenda, the loop was as unworkable as Kirkby is.

And you were pro-Kirkby?

Hes being sarcastic. He has his own agenda, he thinks that most people are against Kirkby cos they will need to change pubs for matches, comical really.

No doubt if he wasn't used, you would be saying the club didnt sought the opinion of experts in the field, which he no doubt is;

You've got him checking his bookmark library now, cross referencing all over the show.

Seen the first series Wire? Where they have the board with the photos and all the connections between them on it?

Davek's airing cupboard that.

I'm just saying, it'd be nice if the club's experts dismissing these alternatives didn't stand to trouser a nice few bob out of it. :blink:

Anyway, I think the story is a bit of nonsense - certainly the stadium part of it. George Howarth and the rogues who run Knowsley council are looking for some face saving PR and a gormless cub reporter at the Post has fallen for it.

Nothing to see here, move along.
