Second consultation shows huge support for Everton's stadium plans

Great support on the stadium and the development in general of the docklands area. Took a ride down BMD way while I was over on holiday & had taken in the Citeh game. Definitely needs the development.

Also, the development of the Goodison Park site is interesting and good for public support.

Well done to all those making this happen. We need some clever thinking to go in to putting the on pitch team together, too, as Anthony states.

After all we won the last game

Once completed we can all continue to moan about the limited capacity and surrounding area being bleak, poor parking, transportation links etc.

In the meantime the priority is the first team results, performances and winning / challenging for footballing honours each and every season.

Coincidentally that too looks to be several years away but also moving in the right direction, just as slowly, but definite progress.

It is absolutely terrific - it will be a bear pit.

Have to say that this has been meticulously thought through and with those numbers backing the development; one the planners will now find very difficult to refuse.

As soon as planning permission is granted they could break ground and then 3 years to complete.

So, obviously lots could go wrong, but potentially the ground could be ready some time in the first half of 2023?

Given the scale and intricacies of the project plus the number of different parties that needed to reach an accord, I believe the progress since BMD was declared as the club's preferred stadium location in January 2017 has been more than reasonable.

With the meticulous groundwork undertaken with an extensive public consultation together with Dan Meis' designs, the club has hopefully pre-empted any challenges to its planning submission which will be presented in December.

Naysayers will always claim otherwise, but maybe, just maybe, Everton are being very professional and competent on this one.

So, every single year, 1.4 million people who have never visited Liverpool before will come just to see our new stadium??

WOW.

Koppites, Niall, Koppites!

Perhaps I missed the sarcasm in your post, apologies if that’s the case.

Of course some will be searching for other reasons it won't happen and can say "told ya so" if right but it will be a sad boast.

Be great for us to get excited and just take the risk. Everton seen as club on the up and excited? God! 🍸

Having gone in search of them. They will no doubt scream the house down when/if they arrive.

That's not quite what I meant but if it was good enough for Dean and Catterick that'll do for me (hopefully near the end)!!

We’re not getting the ground at Brambly-Moore Dockc...” err, Yes we are.

‘“Silva will be sacked next week...” err no he won't.

And so on and so forth...

Let’s hope the stadium actually ends up looking like the plans that everyone has backed

Those teams that have developed their existing grounds compared to those teams that have relocated have largely faired better and without the new ground syndrome. Without Evertonians being given a choice about redeveloping Goodison, the figures put out are a one-sided view.

Although things are less than acceptable on the pitch the new stadium now looks like it is on track apart from one thing. a big thing

Who is paying for it, where is the half a billion coming from and on what terms and interest rates?

Just asking like...as it may become an issue at some point. For starters I think the feller in the Portakabin down there needs a new pack of chocolate Hobnobs and there is only 36p left in the petty cash tin.

Plus, do you believe that football will still be played as it is now? A Premier League etc.? I will be surprised if we haven't got some sort of Super European League within ten years, purely designed to line the pockets of FIFA, UEFA, FA mandarins and to sate the appetite of the hordes of RS fans, sat in their beach huts in Thailand et al.

Football is changing. We might have disappeared by then. Don't worry about it. Someone else's problem

I'm not worried about being under water, in Richarlison we have an expert diver.

Hah! Bream on!

Anyone who says its a hoax is talking a load of pollocks. And I've haddock up to there with all the negativity, we've had our fillet of that.

Surely Farhad would be so shellfish.

Yes, I looked them up and interestingly there is a Footballfish with 22 subspecies. No really, Wiki is always right.

I’ve been whiting all my life for that.😁

Tony, the council in a road where residents were complaining about it being a rat run and dangerous as cars were driving down both ways and sometimes halfway on the curb, because there wasn't space, was surveyed by the council.

This survey involved counting how many cars were using the road and they even put a video camera up, wonderful!

Well the only problem is that they surveyed the road on a bank holiday weekend, no commuters, no school runs, nothing! Residents were told there was no need for traffic calming measures.

This was a true event, the moral of the story is you'll always be told what they want you to hear, which is nearly always not what you should or need to hear.

If so, very apt!

We can all dive in the Leeds - Liverpool canal and swim to our (spawn)scoring grounds at BMD!

Given the "climate catastrophe",will this place will be underwater in less than 20 years?

Loaded question I know but I'd be interested in what the club would say

We need a Coderator to police this puntatious piffle.

One more thing;

A design idea maybe to construct the stadium with clear glass sides. Then if it does become flooded it will be the worlds largest aquarium. People will still come from miles around to see the exotic marine life within.

There would have been a damn sight more than 2,700 non Evertonian respondents had a >65k capacity been vaunted at this stage.

Good work by Denise Mullet-Baxenwhale and her bream.

I like a bit of Ska/Punk so I want the grand opening to feature Fishbone.

Back to the stadium, agree with all that 52k is small time thinking. We sell out a 40 thousand with an old stadium with restricted views. It would be nice to have a bigger capacity than that lot, as it for once mean we get one over on them.

Unlike us – we have to build another stadium and loose our identity once again while theirs gets stronger.
