i cannot understand how you can think like that in any way shape or form. Why? Coz if you went to Citehs ground you would understand why. It is world class. That was once a commonwealth games stadium, and was bowl type. But you would never know it now.
Again I am struggling with summat here, Evertons needs should be top of the agenda, eh the council are paying for summat, primarily a commonwealth games venue but Everton should be top of the agenda. The games will be for the people of Liverpool and the U.K. Not for Everton FC, but should they occupy the stadium after the games I am sure it will be a lot better than the stadium they have at the moment, and a hell of a lot better than that dump that West Ham occupy. I am sure lessons will have been learned from that.
everton, like City and West Ham will come out of it with a stonking deal. The only differance is that City council house is better than West hams.

Issue is though mate, it's Evertons plans the council want to piggy back on to, not the other way round so it has to be a joint effort from minute one.

The Club owned most of the houses that were left to rot as part of its expansion plan.
Part of the proposed 200 mil included areas around the ground concourse and club shop didn't it?

Is right!!!
It was the club who managed the decline of the area surrounding Anfield over the past 20 years. Buying up houses, leaving them empty, running down the prices of the rest of the houses in the area so they could pick them up on the cheap.

To blame Joe Anderson for the decline of Anfield is way way wide of the mark.

Have you been to Goodison? My grandparents used to live nearby. You won't get much for land there. Not a great deal for the council to be fair.

We're not asking for help, as said the plans have been going on for a while, now that the Commonwealth Games has raised it's head they are looking at options and obviously if we did get the games we don't currently have a suitable stadium for athletics si it coukd be a case of the City getting a stadium for it on the cheap, also Everton would get it cheaper than going on their own, plus would benefit from supporting infrastructure, but even without the Commonwealth games, Everton are planning a new stadium.

Nope, never been to Goodison. For some strange reason my team haven't played there in the time I've been supporting them.

I wasn't suggesting that Everton needed help. I was asking if the potential was there for the council agreeing to build them a new stadium if they could get their money back by building on the site of Goodison. I know it's a much lower level but part of the deal that took my lot to the new Weston Homes Community Stadium by the side of the A12 was that the council took over the old Layer Road ground and have since built housing on it. I don't know the area around Goodison which is why I was asking the question. There was no deliberate intention on my part to do Everton down or suggest that they needed help getting a new ground.

Awful game of football.

It was suggested at one stage that if Liverpool built the new stadium in Stanley Park, they'd buy Goodison to turn it into their car park :rofl:

I enjoyed it 😬

If the council, and Everton piggy back one another, then it's not just the stadium that will improve but the area itself. The east lands area around City's ground was a dump of an area. The stadium at City is the icing on the cake, the training facilities are world class, housing, cycling centre. All has helped to improve and regenerate the area.

I want the club to build its own stadium...I don't care about the Commonwealth Games.

I never took your question as a criticism, don't worry. Unfortunately Goodison is in quite a run down area, it's no Highbury that's for sure.

Interesting to hear those more in the know suggest how advanced Everton may be already. That's good to hear. Five years would be a long time to wait.

You're right LFC did leave those streets around the main stand to rot but over the last 20yrs none of the council leaders were proactive in any regeneration in that area and that includes Anderson. Those streets (waverley rd??)behind the Park pub right Upto breckfield rd north/robson street were left by the council.

Chelsea Vs Spurs

Arsenal Vs City

Like I said nobody came out of it looking good. :thup:

 

[huds1475]

Only one result after the sending off. After that, the best team won.

10 men showing signs of fatigue never going to be a match for Chelsea.

Enjoyed watching Rojo. Thought he was immense and and made Costa look pathetic - Kante is the 'Guvnor' for Chelsea.

Pogba an easy target for cheap shots. Not the only one who was dead on his feet.

Theres a lot of beaurocracy still to get through I think mate, lots of planning. I don't know how long that's all going to take but the rumours are it would be a two year timetable to build the stadium from the first spade in the ground to completion.

 

[Tashyboy]

Al take that semi final draw

 

[Slime]

Just calming down a bit.
Chelsea sure gave United a lesson in how to see out a football match.
Kante ................ what a player, especially when Pogba had a shocker.
Rojo was immense. Costa is a skip rat.
De Gea was superb, as usual, but Hazard was pathetic.
A niaive tackle by Hererra because everyone knows that Hazard is expert at getting players carded but it was never a bookable.
Hazard ruined the game, which is a shame as he's such a superb player.

The better team won, I have no problem with that.

Correct, whilst LFC were doing what they were doing, Liverpool city council leaders were standing by watching and allowing their areas to fall into the state it got to without a peep from Warren Bradley, Joe Anderson etc.

 

[Tashyboy]

Thought a couple of the tackles by the utd players with both feet off the ground were straight reds.

The main problem is the infrastructure it's just not there .
Lime st is the other side of the city
but when they built the arena it's fantastic so it shows it can be done.
I hope it goes ahead but the roads and rail will need real investment as most of the roads in Liverpool are shocking.

But the whole area had been waiting on Liverpool FC for years to decide what they were going to do. Whether that be a ground move or a rebuild of Anfield.

Dont forget, when Liverpool planned to build on Stanley Park the council gave there backing. When Everton enquired about building on Walton Hall Park they were met with short shrift by the council, something to do with green space being used apparently. The last time I looked Stanley Park was definitely green and space.
