Mr Drone carries news of plans for a new dining club to the south of Bramley-Moore Dock.

 

The Howard Kendall Suite is described as a membership dining facility that is being planned for Collingwood Dock.

Situated 300 yards from the new Everton Stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock, The Intersky Group offers a fully stocked bar, fine dining, and fantastic pre- and post-match entertainment. 

The facility plans to be open on matchdays, from 3 hours pre-match to 90 minutes post-match.

Has anyone seen the proposed plans on the adjacent dock for Everton hospitality?

Explained on Mr Drones latest YouTube video…

I've seen that, Stephen, and wonder if the rowing club, which is situated there, has anything to do with it as the "suite" looks to be right on "their" land.

Stephen, yeah I saw the Mr Drone's video, and the proposed 'Howard Kendall Suite'.

Looked like a load of old tosh to me. I don't think it will fit into Peel's plans to have a few re-conditioned containers in use for a few days a year. (I can't see many takers once the mercury drops…)

Looks a bit steep at £125.00 a pop too.

Peel gave Allonby Canoe Club a 2-year extension back in 2021. I don't know what's happened since but, if the canoe club were involved in the Kendall Suite, they'd have to have the go-ahead from Peel, which I doubt they'd get to be honest.

Be interesting to see what happens.

Intersky seem quite professional, a local company specializing in sports catering, it would seem.

But they are south of the bascule bridge on Regent's Road that caused problems for the second test event.

I'd like to see something named after W.R."Dixie" Dean just to remind others of the number of goals per season the best scored. At the very least the "60 seat restaurant club", premium price, of course..

There was a very interesting piece on Saturday, on the echo website about how a fella bought a house on Goodison rd, and converted it into a top level pre and post match entertainment venue, because Everton, doubled their prices for this type of package many years ago.

There are few places down that end Michael, as you make your way towards the Pier Head. All changing their theme with Everton flags and signs on the outside.

It's a start, baby steps maybe, but there is more than just the Bramley Moore Pub.

My favourite was the Three Grace's, opposite the Liver Building. Apparently it was known as Jurgens place, I don't know if that was its actual name or just a reference to Klopp.

It has apparently changed ownership and now proudly flys 6 flags on the out. 3 Everton and 3 Irish tricolours with Everton crests on them.

Danny, it WAS called Jurgen's place and they scarpered when he did. Bought by some Blues!

Great new word for my vocabulary -- scarpered!

I can always count on my lingistic enrichment classes from Dr. Williams.

Scarpered
Derived from the word Scapa as in Scapa Flow and referring to the mass running away quite rapid like of the German sailors when they scuttled their interned fleet. 52 ships were scuttled out of 74 that were interned at Scapa Flow (Near Orkney) by the British Fleet as the German High Command didn't want them to fall into British hands.

When will the stadium's outside have Everton paraphernalia? You should know you are walking to and looking at Everton's ground. Also inside, get some blue paint in there. More bins as well so there aren't empty plastic pint pots lying around.

Tony #8, I think a few of the houses on Goodison Road went down that route.

Years ago I was invited to a game at Goodison through a guy who had a spare season ticket. They had number 9 Goodison Road - known as "Strikers Lounge" I think.

Essentially downstairs was basically the kitchen and a large dining area / mingling area, and I think the chef lived upstairs! They rented it (around £6k annually I think), split the cost between around 12-14 "members", who paid a bit extra to cover the food, drink and chef's cost.

It was all decked out in Blue memorabilia, and they showed me the cupboard where all the RS stuff was, because they did it for their games, which was charged on an annual basis, and I think completely offset their costs.

After the game I also met HK (last time I saw him), John Bailey and others. Plus the Arsenal exec guys popped in for a drink and a chat (that's who we were playing).

Very nice set up and they did it really well. Not just about pricing at Goodison, but I think also a lack of "corporate" capacity there.

Matt, was that the place that Dunc used to frequent?

Great insight, Matt. I've been oblivious to these places all these years.

Mark, Mike, every day is a school day, as they say. I feel educated.

Mark #15, I only went once, but from talking to the regulars, lots of people used to come in after the game. One time after Sunderland had a hiding, there were a couple of Sunderland guys in there (friends of one of the regulars), and Niall Quinn came in for a drink to apologise to them!

It was a very interesting place / group of people.

Something that had me thinking.

The Gents being interviewed by Mr Drone seemed fairly convinced that through negotiations with Peel that this building would go ahead.

So it gets built, but here's what interesting me. If Everton don't manage to procure Nelson Dock, what is to stop someone else instead buying the dock and putting up accommodation etc that would then block out the view from the new building of the stadium, that view seems to be a big selling point for potential clients ?

Additionally if Everton manage to procure the Nelson Dock they may block the view, or maybe the Gents know something already about whats coming on the vacant area ?

@19 Martin - do you mean the view from the stadium of the Liver Building etc ? That's going to go at some point as Central Docks develop (I'll be taking my last breaths around then I suspect if we're waiting on Peel).

@13 James - there are "bin hoops" dotted around the plaza at the foot of the lamp posts. Clear plastic bags will be attached for people to dump their litter. However I fear the wind around there will create a "festival of litter" to paraphrase Bill Bryson and Nelson Dock will become an open swamp if it isn’t regularly dredged of football linked detritus.
