Possible Goodison redevelopment.

[Lmc2016]

Here is the last plans they released, 2021 so quite old now, we've had nothing since this. These are the 2nd maybe the 3rd plans released aswell, downgraded each time.

Goodison Park legacy project signed off - Place North West

After approving Everton’s new stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock two miles away, Liverpool City Council voted in favour of the club’s £82m plan to redevelop its current home into a mixed-use scheme featuring 173 homes and 51,000 sq ft of offices.

These plans for the old van yard behind the Bullens have been signed off, but obviously not the clubs land

Goodison Park care home plans submitted - Place North West

A site currently used for match day parking could be redeveloped into a 77-apartment scheme under plans submitted by Gauld Property Partnership.

For future reference - a few cgi’s of the origional scheme.

Plans in for redevelopment of Everton's Goodison Park stadium

The consortium behind EFC's new Bramley Moore Dock stadium has submitted an outline planning application to redevelop the club's historic Goodison Park.

To be honest, I was horrified with the original CGI scheme. It would have been a truly awful legacy, nothing special. Albeit facilities to the community will be welcome but a sad way to go for Goodison. Much like many other clubs, last one being WHam Upton Park.

There's still time Everton to leave a proper legacy.

Demolish the main stand and park end... Main stand is quirky but outdated, park end is not worth saving.

Build small terrace stands on those sides and you'll have a small stadium perfect for the women's team that also protects the heritage of the place

Yes, this is exactly it. The Main Stand and the Park End have no architectural and little historical merit. The Gwladys and Bullens is what Goodison is all about. Keep those, refurbish as best you can, and build small terracing across the demolished stands.

This isn't the one I remember.

Had those atrocious blocks of flats at the Park End end.

This will not happen, but a small social housing estate would be nice.

All roads etc, named after EFC greats.

Dean Way, Lawton Close, Kendall Drive, etc.

Darron Gibson Drive?

Perjaps some local businesses for local employment opportunities? Oumar Niasse Storage Facility, Barlow Banjos, etc.

If we did repurp

Yea these plans came after those.

Likely completely changed again should we get an update anytime soon

Google is a seriously brilliant thing, I wish it existed when I was in school!

 

[Tony’s Carp]

I mean regardless of what you think of the idea, it would be Everton using the stadium for Everton. Unless Ped thinks Everton women don't count as Everton?

 

[Tipp blue]

Make it into a massive Toyota sales complex, use this as a money laundering outfit for sponsoring the new ground for 55m million a year and Jersey sponsorship of a further 20 million a year. Haven't Chelsea gotten away with all kinds of hijinks, it's time for us to blag some extra income too.

I think womens attendances will only increase from now on, and if we knocked down the Main stand and improved the seating in the Bullens and Gwladys, we'd have a 22-25,000 seater stadium for them to gradually grow into.

Not a chance.

I think you forget why we're moving from Goodison in the first place, well one of the reasons. The Bullens Road was built 100 years ago. Gwladys St 1938. They're old stands.

I'd have thought the capital cost and ongoing costs of doing work at Goodison would be far greater than starting fresh at a smaller capacity venue like Walton Hall Park or another?

Turn it in to apartments like Arsenal did with Highbury, but maybe open some of it as a hotel as well. Make a mint off the reds for their home games.

 

[The binman chronicles]

….can’t see the club keeping an old stadium with significant maintenance costs.

Take the statue’s and sell the plot.

Be a big let down given how we said we would redevelop the site. We also wouldn't get much for the site either.

Letting the women play at Goodison saves a lot of cash. Just demolishing the stadium would cost quite a bit.

That section of Highbury was a listed building, so it literally couldn't be demolished. They have refrained from giving Goodison losted status precisely so that it can be demolished when it is finished with.

Taking my blue tinted glasses off, I just don't see how they're comparable.

Don't get me wrong, I love the place, but the Bullens Road facade is comparable to something you'd see from a pre war industrial estate. Mainly corrugated metal sheets with a bit of brickwork. Highbury was listed because the exterior is a fine example of Art Deco architecture.

The main feature of the Bullens is the Archibald Leitch truss. You could potentially work around that as a feature but I don't think it would work the same.

You also have to factor in the fact that Highbury is prime real estate. Working around the facade of that building would stack up financially and was viable. Much less likely to be viable in one of the poorest wards in the country.

Van Den Hauwe demolition company?
