As rumours gather pace that an announcement could be forthcoming regarding progress on a docklands site for Everton's new ground, Joe Anderson appears to have dropped a sizeable and related hint on Twitter.

The mayor was exchanging tweets with supporters over the social network and expressed his belief that a resolution of the club's long-standing stadium issue is "closer now than it was last month and closer now than it's ever been. All working hard to make it happen."

It was his "the Moore the merrier for me" quip that caught the eye as it was a nod to recent speculation that Everton are close to securing land at the north docklands area around the Clarence, Trafalgar and Bramley-Moore docks.

The club are currently working with the local authorities to explore a waterfront stadium option at either that waterside location or at the brownfield site at Stonebridge Cross in Croxteth.
