I'm glad you mentioned this - for all the crying of some that we may be building on a park (and while I want the new ground, I'm not crazy about killing parks myself), few of the anti-Everton protesters have mentioned the fact that Liverpool FC have stage-managed the decline of what was a thriving residential area of Liverpool 4, to the point where their out-of-town supporters think that the area surrounding Anfield is leftover from World War 2 bombing campaigns. That's not an analogy, I've heard this with my own ears.
They got the houses emptied and boarded up, got the council to get compulsory purchase orders on the people who didn't want to vacate, then said that no-one wanted to live in the houses. That's because they wouldn't let anyone go for tenancies in said houses. GRRRRRRR!!!!! I'm from L4, this makes my blood boil. Community club, my hairy bumhole, they've destroyed the local area, completely fubar'd it.
Come on Everton, slam these into oblivion for me and my fellow north-enders!
3-1 Everton.
