Lowensda Posted March 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2016 (edited) If the Clarence dock site could be looked at, the St.Louis (NFL) stadium proposal, looks like something we could adopt. It's similar to the Kings Dock proposal, but with less of a bowl shape. It has more of a modern Nou Camp feel to it. I like that it has one very high pitched side/end, could easily become the new GS. Or like Newcastle, stick the away fans far away. Edited March 1, 2016 by Lowensda Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lowensda Posted March 16, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 Sorry Dunc, am I missing something? Has this been discussed already (been away)? This was an image from an Architect's website apparently, it generated a lot of buzz and has subsequently been taken down. Some people with incredibly deft detective skills, also noticed the below in the recent Kone contract signing.... Apparently it's a mock up of the ground above, which I think looks pretty cool. It reminds me of the Stade Pierre-Mauroy I went to, to watch our boys play Lille. Both my old man and I agreed, that something of that kind, would be ideal for Everton.

StevO Posted March 16, 2016 Report Share Posted March 16, 2016 That does look pretty smart, I'm all for redeveloping GP, but something like that could convince me otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeO Posted March 17, 2016 Report Share Posted March 17, 2016 Is this the time to talk about rail access again? If we built in on the docks we could have a great argument about ferry access. Matt and Lowensda 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oztoffee Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 I'd love a city centre stadium - absolutely love it. As far as access goes it would be a massive plus for rail but parking would be a killer! What parts of the city are ripe for improvement these days?

Oztoffee Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 Because of my location, I'm not up to speed on what the situation is now, but I went to the derby game 3 years ago (another draw!)and got the free bus from Sandhills station. It was an easy way to do it but getting back out was a f'n nightmare....just a couple of buses doing the run and there were hundreds of fans waiting. Anyway, I digress. At Bank Hall I saw hundreds of acres of wasteland and disused factories and wharves....doing nothing! Surely the land can be turned into something useful like a stadium. Good rail links, good road access not far away on Scottie Rd.and Stanley Rd., heaps of parking space....etc.A good idea? Was the Kings Dock thing a good option access-wise and why is it not happening? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makis Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 There was some talk about Sandhills some years ago as part of a regeneration scheme but there's been nothing since. AFAIK, Peel controls the docks areas and is not interested in any stadiums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted March 18, 2016 Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 They need to open that Canada train line that runs by the ground. We're so far behind the likes of London with transport. It will also encourage more businesses to the area making it more viable for Everton to go for concepts like the Goodison Hotel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowensda Posted March 18, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2016 (edited) It should have been edge lane years ago. Still possible isn't it?

Personally I think it is... unless what we do is have a stadium built that we can use asap which can convert to a track etc for when the games are on... split the cost or whatever... we may even be able to have it close to a train station .........................................................................

Lowensda Posted April 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 (edited) Far far too long, 2020 should be a realistic target. But having a stadium that could house such an event, certainly wouldn't do the bid any harm.

It may affect the bid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevO Posted April 13, 2016 Report Share Posted April 13, 2016 Perfect opportunity with this, can be a complete win win. Rebuild the Park End to the 47,000 capacity Elstone said was achievable as soon as possible. Its not idea long term but for the best part of ten years it doesn't have to be amazing. It would only have to be big enough to cover the additional seating and some additional corporate seating or boxes. Then move into a Commonwealth stadium in 2027 after the required adaptations have been made. We would then have a better capacity, more unobstructed seating, and a better corporate profile to move into the new stadium a decade down the line.

Surely Edmonton can't get it again, they had it in 78. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
