'loop' junction off scotland road

[SuitsBlue]

propaganda? brinksmanship? or an authentic alternative?

what a very convenient time for this to appear - just after the proposed stadium pics, so as to sway opinion to the 'in the city limits' bunch.

a stadium there would mean parking where? its good for footfall from limestreet, but what about associated business/retail.

knee jerk reaction with little substance.

Linkage?

 

[SuitsBlue]

you can find it if you look, its no surprise where this story has appeared frist.

 

[chicoazul]

Ah.

We're going to Kirkby, end of.

 

[Blue Wiz]

Ok.. I'm the first to admit that I've not seen this location IRL.. but from the picture, it looks like a fairly stupid location to have a football stadium.

Kirkby sounds and looks like a much, much better alternative.

i can appreciate why its been used as a possibility, literally a stadium on the city#s doorstep (far more boozers than goodison) but it doesnt seem to make ergonomic/social demographic sense - it would put pressure on lime street...

..."how?" i hear you say

the bus from the station to goodison on matchday is always packed - its the last leg of the journey.

moving the stadium into the city centre would releive the bus pressure but move it to the train station. i hate to say it, but i prefer a bit of a crush at the bus station where there are much less police, there is much more space and there are far less commuters from other trains arriving.

lack of parking has been a stick to beat kirkby with, how is this site any different?

hypocrisy is in the air, and i dont like it.

I think you'll find the proposed site off scotty road is in the region of 50,000 sq.yards.

And I think our current footprint at goodison is about 65,000 sq.yards

I could be wrong here, but thats how it seems.

So make of that what you will!!

incidentally the kirkby the site will encompass roughly 400,000 sq,yards.

It looks an awful place to build a football ground, land locked, only one road into it and lets face it having Betterware cash and carry as a financial partner is just embarassing and i can't see how its going to make us much if any money, the Kirkby site is gonna have a hugh retail development on it and anything LCC come up with needs to match that.

Can you imagine trying to get in and out of that ground by car with people going in/out of town and also people using the tunnel, just thinking about it makes me shudder. Pretty much everyone would prefer to stay in Liverpool me included but nothing ive seen coming from KEIOC or LCC convinces me there is a good reason to stay, unless Kenwright sells up of course, then it would be totally different.

Not only does the site look completely impractical, but who would you rather team up with, Tesco, a billion pound business and one of the most succesful and thriving British businesses of all time, or the local cash and carry?

In fact all this does, is highlight how good a deal the Kirby project is.

 

[Rob]

Just goes to show how pathetic the LCC really is, ten years and they offer us THIS?

KIRKBY KIRKBY!!

and that says it all, especially when you consider they said a big "NO [Poor language removed] WAY" when we asked about stanley park.

If you ask me, building on green belt land is a crime.

EX [Poor language removed] actly mate. And if I recall, was that not one of the reasons all our interest in Stanley park got rejected?? anyone recall?
