New Everton Stadium Discussion

[NeilA1878]

The council will rinse for section 106 improvements, probably run into tens of millions of pounds. Hope discussions ongoing as they will take months

Local authorities often want more but by "giving" it does in the future help to "get."

In the early stages of the build, Spurs gave the local authority about £8m for local schemes.
Spurs then built a community college and then built 100's of "affordable" flats 1/2 mile north of the stadium, (with I think, a % set aside for council tenants?)

A friend was working on the spurs scheme for pinsent masons... Their contributions decreased a fair bit from what was initially agreed (close to 20M)... I don't remember why though.

Yep, it was all a bit too convenient imho....Spurs had a report commissioned from KPMG saying the scheme was on the very edge of being viable, so the council was persuaded to reduce the contributions. As HH says, the club has had involvement in a lot of local developments (housing schemes, sixth form college, medical centre to come amongst other things), so it's not like the stadium was built in isolation, but on the question of s106 contributions, it's probably fair to say the club wriggled out of a lot of them.

Mate there is absolutely zero chance of our stadium not getting approval. It's now just a question of how much government money we can access for the build.

Maybe for the infrastructure; would be amazed if you got any for the actual stadium.

Yeah. Out of the question for the stadium I think. You are dealing with a cash strapped government and a cash strapped local authority and even if there is a chance they can get a road resurfaced as part of the scheme they will fight for it.

there is an argument that the club have anticipated this with the redevelopment of goodison, giving back to the community in a project without being asked (but knowing that they will have to do something of this ilk anyway so may as well look like a good guy and plan for it from the off)

What makes you think it will sink ???
If you knew the history of Liverpool you would be aware that the Pier Head ....
Liver Building , Cunard Building and Port of Liverpool Building all stand on the site of the George's Dock (filled in 1899-1900)
They have most certainly stood the test of time , much to the dismay of the RS arsonists in respect of our rock solid Headquarters .

Too true mate.
And that dock and all of the others sit on an effin big 50 mile wide block of sandstone...the same stuff they dug out to build the Cathedral with and half the older parts of the city.
Those walls at BMD that keep out the river with its 30ft tides werent just plonked down on the muddy river bottom.
Nothing to worry about Re sinking.
The hard part may be stopping it leaking

Like I said...the hard part maybe stopping it leaking...a couple of decent B&Q sump pumps will sort that.

If this fails to go through and get built, I think it could seriously damage Everton.

It's up to the owner to make this happen. If he doesn't, I dont fancy his chances of surviving at this club much long after.

Us i think the word is..... Hmmmm

Not sure what you are saying here tbh

Waiting for the native American, policeman, soldier and fetishisist to join them.

Looks like the above has been confirmed by the club as surveying work.

Once this is approved in October, I think they’ll be on the site pretty soon after.
