When are they expecting to start it?

They aim to be in for 2023 so starting early-mid next year if they aim for a three year construction time.

Fully expect it to be delayed though, as long as they get it done properly who cares.

I really like it, as do most Evertonians by the sounds of it, which is what matters as they'll be the ones creating the atmosphere in the ground.

What are the acoustics going to be like for the booooooo's anyway? :ph34r:

It'll actually be a shame to loose Goodison, for English football. The shit pit is a historic stadium in England and as time goes by we lose more and more of the iconic stadiums to these new cookie cutter design stadiums. At least it looks more like Spurs' new stadium than it does one of those soulless bowls that all look the same. It does look nice as fuck though on the bank of the Mersey though and I'm sure it'll be a better experience for fans generally.

The whole area will be class to be honest, once the restaurants and bars get proper good it'll be a great place for a full night.

Yeah that area has been in desperate need of something good happening to it. Apparently a big issue with redeveloping the docks is the city might lose it's UNESCO world heritage status... because UNESCO wants the docks to retain their "historic" character and erecting modern buildings in their eyes destroys that historic character.

For what it's worth, Everton have given assurances that their development plans will do their best to retain as much of the historic character of that area as possible. But I think it's pretty backwards from UNESCO, because if anything rejuvenating that run down area will only provide a cultural benefit to the city, regardless if some older, historic buildings are replaced to make room for the stadium, restaraunts, bars, etc... But I've seen it done before where modern buildings are erected, yet plenty is done to preserve an area's historic character... and I think it creates a nice blend of respecting the past and history while also showing how a city lives and changes with the people that live inside it.

Normally, I'd think it would be a waste having taxpayer money go towards helping a side owned by billionaires have a nice new stadium... but in this case I think Everton and the City have actually worked for something that'll be a great benefit to the city (and Merseyside as a whole) in the end. It'll bring life to a dead area and create a shitload of jobs in the city.

With all of the bars and restaurants planned and mention of an entertainment area you've got to hope that it's a good full day out. They should build a stage somewhere and have bands on before and after the match on a Saturday, could even bring on former players or even current players for a quick chat in front of the fans. Try and make it somewhere you can't wait to get down to on a Saturday morning rather than somewhere you stay in the pub for another pint until half 2 and drag yourself to in time for kick off.

Slight delay...

Everton FC's plans for a new 52,000 capacity stadium have hit a small delay as the government has asked for more time to review the proposals.

The Bramley-Moore Dock site on Liverpool's waterfront received council approval last month and the club hopes to host games there in 2024.

But the £500m scheme is awaiting a final say from Westminster.

Due to its scale, the government has asked for an extension to the initial 21 days it had to consider the bid.

A council spokesman confirmed Housing Secretary Robert Jenrick's department had requested the extension.

"This instruction has been accepted in accordance with national planning law," he said.

The Premier League club, which has been at Goodison Park since 1892, has been looking for a new home for 25 years due to limitations at its aging current home.

Historic England had objected to the new stadium, insisting it could harm the city's heritage, but this was dismissed by the city's planning committee last month.

The development would be the "most inclusive and sustainable" stadium in the UK and would "preserve the area's heritage", Everton's chief executive officer Prof Denise Barrett-Baxendale told a council meeting last month.

It's going to be interesting to see how swiftly this moves ahead now that all the excuses for not starting the project have been eliminated.

Be a few Reds on social media upset that their WhatsApp conspiracy theories about Bramley Moore, Joe Anderson and Farhad Moshiri getting kicked out of the Liver Building turned out to be about as accurate as the James Rodriguez sex change rumour. :coffee:
