New Everton Stadium Discussion

[Efcjake]

If anyone hasnt read the full Echo piece on that tweet, I suggest they do.

To paraphrase, Everton getting global recognition as one of the worlds best community clubs, and that will continue with the new stadium supporting all sorts of stuff, plus the hub at Goodison of course.

Makes quite a contrast with some other clubs near by.

Sound. Any word on the stadium?

And later he said: "It's a brownfield site and it (the stadium plan) will breathe new life into an area that's been crying out for investment for generations."
Asked later about the timing of the stadium scheme, Mayor Rotheram said: "At the moment that still lies with the local authority and the Secretary of State. In 2020 we will have a spatial development strategy which means that the metro mayor takes responsibility then for a lot more of those planning issues.
"We expect that Everton will have a ground before then, so it will have gone through the current regime."

A previously arsed facilitator. Knows the game in play.

How are we meant to have ground before 2020?

Did you mean club or clubs
More and more dots waiting to be joined up

He means planning will be passed prior to 2020.

We arent, The PP will be under current rules.

I think the piece about ETIC and the non matchday use of the stadium for schools etc and the accommodation for the homeless is a way of putting pressure on the council to put up or shut up plus it’ll look good on the planning application
Very few councils or government bodies could refuse PP with those extras thrown in

As I’ve said before it’s lads ingratiating themselves with the council

Movement. Buy ins. Breaking cover.

...just from Rotherham's intervention?

 

[Brisan123]

Don't forget the wider picture. The financial future is uncertain because of Brexit. Many companies have stopped investment in new projects because of potential unpredictably in trading after Brexit. Just take steel, for example. A stadium uses a lot of steel. Scunthorpe receives about 20,000 tonnes of iron ore a day, and a similar amount of coal. Both raw materials come from a mix of countries, Poland, Russia, US, Canada, Brazil and other South American countries, with whom we have trade agreements through the EU until Brexit. If no deal, no trade agreements - what then?

The steelworks are already hit by US trade sanctions, with British Steel losing 500 jobs with many, I would think, at Scunthorpe.

Who, in their right mind, would be going ahead with the build of a large stadium at this time when financing will be particularly difficult and the future so uncertain. I would wait for the situation to be come clearer.

Its the runes mate. Read them. Positive sounds today, from previously silent facilitators.

Almost like they have been told the bigger picture.....

Either that or he went to the doctor complaining of dots before his eyes
Doctor told him to join them up

Anderson has actual powers to influence. Rotherham is just a hologram like the other metro mayors.

...sounds like Steckelenberg would be well qualified for the job

 

[deipnosophist]

Just imagine how excited this place will beomce they finally announce that a funding deal is in place and / or planning permission has been applied for.

It's so frustrating I wish the club would atleast release images of the stadium design or capacity etc. Just something for us to get behind in the interim period.

when development starts I am going to buy a new apartment near the site and upsticks here in NZ and retire on Merseyside. I am very excited at the prospect and look forward to meeting so many GOTers over a pre-match pint (not at The Lisbon though!!)

I hope to retire in 2021
I wonder if I could buy an apartment with a balcony that I could see the 4 graces from

Incorporating a homeless shelter into the stadium, or even in close proximity to the stadium, is over the top and not a good idea in my opinion. That end of town is trying to regenerate and improve itself, with a large part earmarked for new housing development (flats) I believe.

If Everton want to add to the already existent homeless services in Liverpool, then they should do so in another part of town, and not in close proximity to a stadium that intends to market itself to corporate clientele.

What’s wrong with homeless accommodation
Do you think they are all alcoholic , drug taking begging bums
A lot of families are homeless through no fault of their own
It’ll be done in a subtle way
There’s a reason all the ETIC stuff was mentioned in the tweet
It’s greasing the way
