New Everton Stadium


gedefc said:
the Emirates sounds good as a stadium name though, Barca's is known as the Nou Camp, not the Spotify nou camp

Think i'll always call it Bramley Moore, tv etc will call it by any sponsorship name

I thought I’d always call the ‘new stadium’ Lansdowne Rd and did for a few yrs initially. Long since calling it the Aviva now and don’t know anyone who calls it Lansdowne

Everton FC hopes new stadium will accelerate Liverpool’s regeneration​

Club’s owners make pitch to government and investors on benefits of Bramley-Moore Dock development

Everton Football Club and its new American owners want to accelerate development around the Liverpool-based team’s new waterfront stadium, in a call to politicians and investors to help revive a neglected stretch of the city. With months to go until the Premier League side moves from Goodison Park, its home since 1892, to Bramley-Moore Dock, the latest addition to the north Liverpool skyline stands out in an area that has not kept pace. The stadium is the foundation of fans’ hopes for a brighter future under the Texas-headquartered Friedkin Group, which became the latest US company to buy into the top flight of English football last year. Marc Watts, Everton executive chair and Friedkin Group president, told the Financial Times it would be “such a shame” and a “missed opportunity” not to use the stadium as a “catalyst to lift up that whole area of the northern docks and the development of the whole Liverpool area”. Watts stressed the need for partners, including private companies and local and national government. “We’re not looking for any large amounts of public money to make this happen. If the business plan is strong enough, and we think it would be, then you should have partners who want to be part of it,” he said.

The plaza outside can accommodate up to 17,000 fans. But the local area is lacking the full range of pubs, restaurants and facilities that football fans and concert goers would expect. The Titanic Hotel, a repurposed warehouse opened in 2014 on the nearby Stanley Dock, hints at the potential. As Everton has held test events at the new stadium, small stalls have started to pop up. “I’m a little concerned that I might make it to retirement without seeing development in this northern shore of Liverpool, and it’s just desperate for it,” said Colin Chong, interim chief executive of Everton, on a tour of the stadium.

Everton was keen to buy Nelson Dock next to the stadium from real estate company Peel Group, according to Chong. The land could be used for additional sports facilities, whether publicly or privately funded. As Andy Burnham, mayor of Greater Manchester, seeks more than £200mn in government funding for the regeneration of Old Trafford, where Manchester United plans to build a new stadium, Chong pointed out that Everton had a head start on its Premier League rival. “We are at least five, six years ahead of the curve there, and if I was a politician I’d be saying, ‘Where can I make an immediate impact? It’s got to be in the north-west of England. Actually, Liverpool is ripe for it, let’s go and have a look at how we can assist them’,” Chong said.

Wider development could justify improved transport links to complement the Sandhills train station that serves the football ground, Rotheram said. Liverpool City Council leader Liam Robinson also pointed to plans for an urban planning corporation, a type of entity used to regenerate former industrial areas, work with landowners to spur development.

Everton’s new home is not just critical to regeneration.

The stadium, bolstered by bigger capacity and modern hospitality facilities, could boost revenues by at least £60mn a year, said one person close to the club — vital firepower in the fight for top players and qualification for European competitions.

The Everton men’s team has not won a major trophy since the FA Cup in 1995, and the last of the club’s nine league titles came in 1987. Under the new owners the goal is to return to winning ways by focusing on fans, the economics of the team and making effective use of the stadium. “Our ambitions are to pay attention to that and we think success on the pitch will follow,” Watts said. “And we hope sooner rather than later.”

Thanks for reposting that.
Great to hear from Marc Watts pushing the business case for regeneration of the area - let's hope we see some immediate improvement.

The Arthur Wait stand at Palace was completed in 1969 and those of a certain age still call it the new stand. There are plans to extend and refurbish the current main stand and when asked what it might be called when finished, someone suggested, the new, new stand.

Trouble is, who is the government more likely to listen to : Andy Burnham, or somebody who looks like an extra from Coronation Street ?

That divvy Rotheram wouldn't know how to apply for it and neither would he be motivated to get it.

Why would he? He'll get to his retirement at the end of this term of office and the last thing he'll want to do is to annoy his real bosses at Liverpool FC by doing us any favours.

No chance. At least in as it may be delayed but there's no chance they are making that call now when they've got 6 weeks. And if they did they aren't spreading it all round the place for a starter ad they'd have to be placing all stress on their subbies at this point
 
So, The Baltic Triangle Station got approved yesterday and is scheduled to be open by 2027, 15 years after the idea was first floated.

So tell your kids, that they can look forward to Sandhills being fit for purpose. Eventually!!
