New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[MrGrumpy]

That's alarming what Anderson indicates - in answer to if he's shouldering too much personally the responsibility of selling the idea of BMD and whether the club can do more he - says that the club are reserved and dont want to get involved in selling the project around the city and to fans because of past failed projects. No wonder they cant find funding outside local government with that attitude. That's just terrible.

Also concerning was Anderson's view that delays from negotiating with UNESCO or changes in the borrowing requirements from central government (due to be reviewed in 12 months) could end this.

Between that and the hurdles at council level and then the PP process opening it to public scrutiny we're miles off on this.

He never said changes in the government decision could end this. He said it’s at least 12 months before they even consider looking at that type of funding and even then it’s unlikely.

What was more interesting if you listen to it properly was the way he described the owner of Everton as not maybe Farhad, but someone else and he used that term a few times

It'll be driven by UNESCO if it is that style.

If it wasn't for your positivity Dave I don't think I could believe the stadium will ever be built.

Thankfully he’s pushing the 60,000 agenda, too.

I do wonder if the £7m p/a will rise with inflation over the 25-year period.

Well he did say that the council would be receiving at LEAST 7m

Bit personal that mate, and his employment history is both irelevant and off topic. I'm sure we're all more interested in the work of Dan Meis.

Will Mahrez be playing for us at our ground?

It's ok lads, jinkyali is just frustrated at being wrong all the time and thinks he's the only one who has a job.

Here to serve.

Im starting to get this subtle impression that Davek has doubts about the stadium...

Developments like this could transform the situation even years into any build.

I don't get the appeal of standing.

I don't get the appeal of standing.

Regardless of preferences though, if Liverpool fan groups especially get on board with them then I can see them being in play again.

I agree, I think Dortmund’s Stadium is about 65,000 when it’s all seater and 83,000 when the standing section is in operation. Standing is probably not for everyone, but I would have thought we would probably have a section, perhaps the home end, that would have this. If it is approved of course.

So if the all seater version of our stadium is say 55,000, with the home end set up for standing this could probably increase to 60,000

Safe standing added 2,600 to Celtic Park's capacity.

It shouldn’t be down to Liverpool fans to give their approval. It should be down a safe design and implemented by the correct personnel on site.

Agree on this, they stand anyway and had fans thrown out of the last home game for doing so, there not building a new stadium, nothing to do with them.
