Can’t wait to start going down each month once construction starts to see how it develops.

I can see it from my office,so I'll have live time line.

Can you give us a minute by minute update right up until the point you get sacked after getting caught staring out the window for 57 minutes.

Good question. The David France collection needs a home.

yeah, would be superb to have a proper museum within the new ground housing that collection

Do they allocate press seats and steward seats I wonder when adding to capacity??? Or would it be 52,888 Evertonians and that's without press boxes etc

I hope we get a webcam to see how the construction comes along........

You could ask to borrow your wife’s during the day, while she’s not using hers

Lol, around 150 documents covering literally thousands of pages of research, analysis and planning, covering everything from drainage to lighting to geoenvironmental. Yet some people on here still think this is some kind of elaborate ruse from a carpet bagger. Drink it in boys

It’ll never built
There is no finance
It’s all a big scam
Or so lids on here tell me.

 

[Brisan123]

Come on you builders

Brexit will mean it’ll never be built due to a lack of foren builders

 

[Brisan123]

Oh, 'ang on.


I thought no work had been done......


The issue of whether Goodison Park is fit for purpose was explored extensively during the Inquiry into Everton proposed move to Kirkby, with the Inspector stating that 1: “Goodison Park is agreed by all to be in need of very significant work to improve to a suitable level, and that would require, as Mr Keirle shows in his evidence, a much larger site than Everton possess at Goodison Park. Mr Keirle’s evidence deals with the question of potential changes to Goodison Park and the surrounding land. The matter has been exhaustively explored by the club over the past ten years, including a review by Mr Keirle’s firm in July 2008 on the basis of the funding available for this project. There is no credible evidence that a stadium of the kind that Everton needs can be provided at or near Goodison Park. It is clear from Mr Elstone’s evidence that had it been feasible to stay at or near the current site, Everton would have done so”.

The expansion or redevelopment of Goodson Park is not considered to be realistic, practical or deliverable to meet the needs of Everton. Whilst some modest expansion of the stadium may be feasible, it would not deliver the capacity, benefits or amenities that the Club requires to remain competitive; including delivering a 50,000+ capacity stadium, significantly enhancing the amenity, facilities and accessibility at the stadium, including providing high quality modern facilities for players and staff, providing the amenities to meet supporter expectations and raising the profile of Everton in the EPL and internationally. The scale of the new stadium that Everton requires would not be appropriate at Goodison Park, due to the small stadium footprint, the lack of adequate onsite facilities and the dense residential nature of its surroundings. It is clear that a current site assessment process would not identify Goodison Park (even as an enlarged footprint) due to its location and size, being surrounded by housing on three sides, and by public roads.

But some lad on here called Tom said it was feasible

I know it’s obvious to say like, but the amount of technical expertise and research that has gone into that application is incredible. I’ve only glanced at some of the Docs (and there’s more dropping on) but the detail and scale of the project is mind-boggling.
