Whilst googling about our next opponents Everton this morning I stumbled across an online newspaper article about Everton’s brand new ‘new stadium’ idea. It was only 2 days ago -

What amazed me was that Liverpool Council are so supportive. And bear in mind this is to build in the middle of a park (a bit like Hull have done). The council is even starting some meetings to smooth it over with the residents, and would chip in some money (not directly for the ground itself) as well.



The Council are also supporting Liverpool FC, who are nearly there on clearing a whole road (both sides) of terraced housing, so that they can double the size of their main stand. Liverpool council also supported LFC when they initially wanted to build a 60k ground in the middle of Stanley Park (a listed Victorian Park a bit like Crystal Palace park)



A world away from planning for CPP it would seem.



I do like Goodison, but even the biggest stadium romantic would have to concede that the views of the game are poor from a lot of seats, and to get rid of the pillars and improve legroom yet still have a decent capacity would be almost impossible on their current site. The proposed new ground is just a stones throw away from Goodison (so much better than their previous attempt to move to Kirby which is outside the city)
