Five-storey hotel with pool set for approval opposite Everton stadium

This is welcome and the starting blocks of Everton, and the city, using Bramley-Moore Dock development to renovate an area of the city that needs it.

The stadium and initiatives like this are just the start point for taking back the city and putting Everton on the map. Whether on a cruise liner or flying into John Lennon Airport, it will be the first thing people see.

I'm going up for Fulham home. I'll see some of you around Goodison, but will take a trip to the Bramley Moore to wait for my sister to pick me up. Late kick-off, so I'll stay at hers and let her mother me.

But we have Leicester first. I'm travelling without a ticket, but it's a day out.

Melbourne suddenly started getting voted the best city in the southern hemisphere and is now a regular on many a list of the 20 best cities worldwide.

I'm not expecting this for Liverpool – the weather alone would put paid to this – but the scope is amazing, and our waterfront can also look amazing.

Everyone knows that, if you want to have fun, then Scousers are usually very accommodating, so let's turn this third, or quarter of the city into Everton and watch our club grow.

In Moshiri's eyes, it's an expensive folly that almost ruined him; yet, in years to come, his name will be synonymous with the regeneration of wasteland, long neglected. It will stand out as a venue, as a destination and pride for so many.

Finally, it also means that Everton will forever have pride of place in the city. No trophy, no stadium, no amount of debate will change the narrative. The city is Blue.

I wonder if I will still be able to get my tyres from Metro tyres? Or will it be a bar, or a club, or some such blue establishment...?

"If you don't like the weather, just wait 10 minutes and it'll change" was one of the first things I was told when I visited.

And the people of Melbourne are just as wonderful as the people of Liverpool, the nicest people I met in any part of Australia.

So the two cities have a lot in common.

They have lodged a Section 73 application to revive the former Atlantic Corner Hotel at Regent Road and Sandhills Lane after having its initial application for a 50-bed hotel approved last year. If successful, FGH hopes to start work on that initiative around the same time as the Fulton Street project hotel.

With the right business, I'd imagine you could make enough on a matchday to see you through to the next one and beyond.

Minibus service even? I wouldn't be surprised to see the Saddle start one up.

It will help them as their businesses are largely dependent on the matchday bounty from Everton every other week.

The area around Bramley-Moore Dock will grow and develop as investment comes in. It might just take time. The Bramley Moore pub is a gold mine, but stands alone. However, I believe the club's intent is to get people into the stadium complex and fans plaza.

I don't think you would get a run-down property for that price by Bramley-Moore Dock now, and The Saddle is one fine building, but maybe it's just a little bit out of the way?

A good hotel at the ground though is a welcome start.

Just gotta find someone brave enough to ask Maureen if she'd consider a minibus service!!!!

I was looking at a property in Speke, in case I decide to move back. I can get somewhere for around £120-£150k.

I've said it and will keep saying it. Monorail between Brunswick Station and Sandhills with stops on the way all along past the Albert Dock, Pier Head and Bramley-Moore Dock.

I reckon I'd walk that in 20 minutes, if anyone wants to sponsor me! A sponsored walk for ToffeeWebbers, just got to find a worthwhile cause.
