New Everton Stadium Discussion

Tendering for what given we don't have planning permission yet?

You don’t need to wait for planning permission to see how much things will cost.

I would have thought planning permission and the requirements around that would inform the tender not the other way around.

I think BMD is a completely different scenario than Kings Dock and the fact that Moshiri could fund the scheme if it came to it makes a difference. I share concerns about this becoming a reality but I don't think Moshiri would be committing so many millions to a scheme merely as a way of raising fans hopes, I think there is genuine desire and commitment to make it happen but without funding and plans in place it leaves room for concern and cynicism.

There's little evidence of funding and - outside self-promoting rent a gob Anderson - only a very shakey commitment within the region.

We will have some level of plans and designs done already.

How long does that take? we're talking stadium not the Sagrada Familia.

Great Scott !! this means...we have to go - Back to the Future.

I'm not going all Twilight Zone / MLK, but years ago I had a dream where the rs Bro in L paid up the £1 token bet we had about us winning the then European Cup...there you go you blue nose b. he said and plonked the coin in my hand, head side up and the head was Charles, not Herself.

Spooky, but I like it

They would have the footprint and draft plans, and they’d pitch it out to certain contractors to see how they’d do it, what cost, and how long the programme would take etc. and they’d rank each one for cost, quality, time, risk etc.

Then it would just be a case of giving it the green light to the preferred bidder when planning permission was granted.

It’s as though Elstone has never left. The constant dampening of expectations and focus on anything other than success on the pitch is still the order of the day.

Where has she dampened expectations ? I'm not a fan by any means, but can you give me some examples if possible.

 

[TyphooToffee]

You throw the ball and perhaps he will fetch!

He'd probably deny the existence of the ball

Didn't Everton walk away from Council funding model ? If so then that leads me to think, they have found another way. Invested a lot of money in this so far, wouldn't write it off so soon.

We’ve gone from having a supposed iconic stadium, best club stadium in the country, a home stand bigger than the kop to match the yellow wall etc. to a 52k seater with reduced dimensions that is a year late already and the club are so nervous about engaging with fans that they haven’t released any images of the designs despite the architect having them in his back pocket over a year ago.

Anderson in tonight's echo talking about a light rail system being worked on to link.lime st with Paddington and the new knowledge quarter. Doesn't mention everton but maybe it could look to link BM to the city centre as well.

Maybe so and that would be disappointing if that panned out, but just a feeling, I don't think we've heard the last of the capacity yet, have a feeling they'll raise it a little because of the reaction of the fans to the downsizing. But I do fail to see what this has to do with DBB.

He spke to the Guardian a month or so back about Liverpool projects - no mention of Everton then either.

Draw your own conclusions.

Unbelievable isn’t it dave?

You’d almost think he wasn’t Mayor of Everton

This time last year you couldn't shut that mess up about BMD; now he's running shy of the issue.

*Foreboding*.
