New Everton Stadium - Hill Dickinson Stadium

[Goat]

Its already 2 years late. Elstone originally said BMD would be open 2021/22 season. Now it's projected for 2023/24. That's before PP or any objections or call-ins or finance problems.

Do you have a link to him saying 2021?

I can only find this and ive seen nothing to suggest a 2024 opening so far :

Our hope, and our target, is the opening game of the 2022/23 season. Be assured that all our efforts during 2018 will be focused on meeting this challenging but achievable target.

Its about the 6th time that UNESCO have got themselves in the paper over this mate. So doubt it.

Don't even say that mate, the usual suspects will be gutted.
They think this is their chance to be proved right, " we knew all along" "we told you so" " the club is crap". Can't get over the mind set of being so pessimistic and so happy about it.

Honestly baffles me that blues think this will happen

OK.
Honestly baffles me why rs are interested

Nice job picking out the one aberration of a season out of the last 17yrs

That's all Gwladys lives for, there is a dark cloud in every silver lining

next year?

 

[chrissyjack]

next year?

It would be the 66th " Next Year " . A proud record which will never be beaten

Seems to me that the only people backing the importance of being a heritage site are UNESCO themselves and Kopite knobheads whose allegiance to football goes far beyond any consideration for the city (if they're even from there).

Forgetting football for a moment surely it's going to get to a point where the city needs to turn to UNESCO, stadium or no stadium, and tell them to shove their arbitrary paper ranking or they'll forever hold sway over the development of what is for the large part an absolute dump of an area

Did you want Liverpool to win the European cup, even though you knew, as attested to by our own club, that it would be a massive boost to the local economy ?

UNESCO hey? How are they managing with their chosen sites in Syria? Meanwhile they want to make a stand in preserving large areas of the city that were built courtesy of British imperialism and racism. As for BMD - 'Old culture' consisting of a swathe of neglected & derelict land, no access & tumbleweed -v- 'New Culture' thriving regeneration, jobs, services, entertainment, better infrastructure for the future of the city and its citizens. Jaundiced reporting by the likes of the myopic BBC & regurgitated by lazy journalists elsewhere. Visitors and businesses are attracted to the city because it is a great city with multiple attractions, not because of any UNESCO status!

Yes mate, I'm a Kopite because I don't think we're going to build a brand new 40,000 seater stadium on the docks

The whole thing will have fallen through this time next year
