Ferguson milking that crowd.

What a result !

Wonder what Ancelloti's thinking. Although I suppose anything will be an improvement, so in that sense - easy money.

I think it looks good.

I am a bit surprised they haven't aimed for a larger capacity though.

Its the next area of the docks to be expanded and developed.
Ev want in at an early stage and no doubt many councillors and their 'preferred bidders' will all be making a few quid from dodgy contracts.
Council taliking about improved infrastructure paid for by Liverpool residents and fat envelopes for all the boys.

Here’s an interesting puzzler for the festive season. What is the link between Liverpool and the birthplace of Jesus?
It’s most appropriate as we may need some kind of miracle in 2020 to prevent Liverpool from being stripped of its World Heritage Status.
Everton FC submitted to the city council today (23/12/19) its planning application for its new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.
By February 1st Liverpool has to respond to the World Heritage Committee of Unesco on what measures it’s taking to safeguard the city’s WHS. If the committee is not happy with the report it receives, we’ll be deleted from the list next July.
Liverpool became a WHS in 2004, joining an exclusive global list of around 1,000 sites that include the Great Wall of China, The Taj Mahal, the great Pyramids of Egypt.
I recall an after-dinner comedian at the Crowne Plaza joking: “When Liverpool won a world heritage site, the people of Venice were wondering…. where did we go wrong?”
The work leading to the granting of the title started years earlier, needing endorsement from the Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport to sponsor the bid.
These gongs are not given out like confetti, and winning one of the world’s greatest cultural prizes is something to cherish.
Liverpool, since 2012 Liverpool has been one of around 50 WHS on Unesco’s at risk register, cited because of the possible impact of the world heritage site caused by proposed developments on Liverpool Waters. This is the area of dockland starting at Princes Dock, and heading northwards past the Stanley Dock Warehouse.
Liverpool shares the at-risk list with war zones, places where civil wars are threatening cultural relics, illegal hunting, even a breakdown of civil order in one country.
So what does the birthplace of Jesus have to do with this… hang on a bit longer, we’ll get there.
Current proposals that could put Liverpool’s status at risk include a plan to build residential blocks in front of the stunning Waterloo Dock Warehouse. Oh, and they’ll have to partially fill in the historic dock.
More recently, the threat to Liverpool’s WHS intensified when it was announced Everton FC will be presenting its planning application to the city council for its new stadium.
Everton says it has worked closely with English Heritage and other cultural bodies to produce a plan that respects the heritage of the site.
If the World Heritage Committee is happy these developments will not compromise the WHS, then I guess that is the end of the matter. The builders will move in.
It will all depend on whether the World Heritage Committee is happy with what they see.
After the committee kept Liverpool on the naughty-step last July, with a warning the city may be stripped of the title this coming July, the Echo reported comments by Mayor Anderson.
The mayor was reported as saying if it was a choice between keeping the (WHS) title and developing empty dockland the latter would win out.
So, what’s all this about the birthplace of Jesus? The World Heritage Committee, at the same meeting that debated the Liverpool situation, it also discussed another WHS on the at-risk list.
The Birthplace of Jesus, the Church of the Nativity and the Pilgrimage Route in Bethlehem was, like Liverpool in danger of losing its WHS status because of the management of the area, and proposals to build a road tunnel beneath Manger Square.
The authorities produced a report on its management of the site, but also importantly crucially announced the tunnel scheme had been scrapped. The committee, as a result, removed the Bethlehem site from the ‘sites in danger’ list.
For Liverpool, everything now hinges on whether the committee (having watched their proceedings they don’t take prisoners) will in July, decide whether Liverpool will become only the third ever site to be removed from its list.

It’s definitely a good looking stadium.

Are they still taking everyone’s cars on an aircraft carrier?

I just seen a nice stadium,personally no wow factor for me and i just don't like those tunnels where fans are in the lounge next to a glass partition watching the players go out.

Playing in it by 2023 is a pipe dream. Planning, appeal, public enquiry. They'll be luck to get the go ahead before the end of 2021. It wil take a year to fill the dock in and another 2 to do the stadium. I think the delays will Gove Mosh an easy get out sayings costs are spiraling and a cheaper site needs to be found. Then the planning delay starts again. 2027 before they are playing in a new stadium
