Stonebridge Cross put forward as alternative to Walton Hall Park

FFS, IÂ’m still waiting for the Park End project to happen.

Wrapped up in red tape for years.

Let's just revamp Goodison and have done with it

Why cant we get sensible ideas put forward? Somewere that connects us to the city center and good transport links?

Without wishing to be rude to the local inhabitants, you really wouldn't miss most of the buildings directly around the place apart from the Church and the Winslow. Why not regenerate that part of Walton in the same way as Kensington at the bottom of Edge Lane and in the process give Goodison scope to expand?

That area needs it far more than Walton Hall Park. With the money coming in off the TV deal the club should now be able to do what it should have started twenty years ago.

Seems everytime Everton try to relocate,we come up with obsticles, yet if the darkside proposed to knock down the Liver buildings and surrounding area, Liverpool City Council would give their blessing.

I for one think that was one of the reasons Everton tried Kirkby to get away from the City and chance their luck under Knowsley.

Completely agree. I have long thought exactly the same myself. However, where our thinking falls down entirely is that it makes perfect sense.

- Transport links a plenty both road and rail;
- Area in need of urgent regeneration;
- Available land;
- In the City and close to its centre;
- Prime site for retail and leisure facilities to help fund the purchase of a new ground/generate revenue;
- No obvious planning restrictions.

All so obvious it makes you wonder if we are serious about relocating at all or if LCC genuinely want to help.

Personally I've given up on any move happening in my lifetime with this board in charge. They just haven't got the skill, ability or appetite to raise the funds to make this a reality.

However if it was to happen Edge Lane would be ideal IMO.

I am sick of hearing the transport links are poor or trade around ground will suffer. They can get premises by the new ground. Maybe we might even be bought. But please don’t let this drag on and on, I would love a new ground.

I wish.

Sell the club, Kenwright. LetÂ’s move with the times.

Only problem is I think itÂ’s owned by Peel Holdings who may have plans but nothing seems to be happening and IÂ’m sure they would negotiate with a serious party(!)

Redevelopment is the cheapest option, it's – in my opinion – the best option... it just needs the arseholes in the boardroom to commit!

John (29), it's not a question of a Board just needing to commit – they simply don't want to do it. They (and the mysterious figures behind them) recognise that to get their rewards they will be far better, and more quickly, served through a new stadium.

In a nutshell

As for the redevelopment of GP, yes I'd love to see that but the neighbours would raise high hell and that could drag on for years and years.

Tesco are closing 300 stores, so that will rule out any chance of a big supermarket chain funding a new ground for Bill and chums. Where is Terry Leahy these days, I wonder? Wasn't he the club's advisor regarding this move?

The Council had to put forward their plans for regeneration in Liverpool, so that's the main driver behind this latest load of old cobblers.

Every Evertonian is being played like an old violin again, so I really do hold a grudging admiration for our board. They should hire themselves out to the main political parties for the upcoming general election, they have fooled hundreds of thousands for years now – just look the above thread!

They have absolutely no intention of building a new stadium. Remember the IT problems that were holding up the new Park End development? The same people are in charge FFS!

Mind you, they have placed some lovely photo's around the perimeter of Goodison Park over the past 20 years, what do you people want?

I am only waiting for 'Alan Williams' to turn up on this thread now. Then we will have a full house.

Zero chance of a new stadium under this chairman and board.

But, given we have Walton Hall Park as an ongoing, live, advanced developing project and way more likely to succeed than the RS plans on Stanley Park (And they were given the go ahead despite historic covenants, massive opposition etc) and given the new TV deal, relaxed planning laws and backed by Liverpool Council, I'm amazed people are bringing up the likes of Edge Lane or Bootle as late alternatives. It would be awful as an alternative to staying close by within Walton – and don't get me started about Stonebridge Cross... that would be just as bad as Kirkby.

As I originally Posted 11/02/2015 at 18:25:41 on "Kenwright now or never" thread.

"It is my understanding that as it currently stands Gwladys St School will not continue to meet the modern required standards (much like GP). There is a statutory requirement upon LCC to provide a school for the locality. IF this really is so then surely there must be some "mutually acceptable" deal to be done ?
Possibly this is behind the "proposal" to build "New Goodison" in Walton Hall Park.

Personally, I quite like the WHP location, but really still want a properly redeveloped GP. Being the worlds first purpose built football stadium means a great deal to me as a slice of our heritage.

Some time back I did think that the "Innovation Park" site on Edge Lane was absolutely ideal, because it has:
2 railway stations (Wavertree Technology Park & Edge Hill)
M62 5 mins away
Major arterial routes
Large expanse of non-residential surrounds
Is in/close by the L8 and Kensington regeneration zones
And would certainly qualify for EU "Derelict Land Grant" as an ex industrial (brownfield) site.

But despite everything, I still want a redeveloped Goodison Park and I always will."

Let the willies travel in to the city, donÂ’t cater for them at our expense.

Either way, nothing will happen, it's Kenwright o'clock – season ticket renewal time. (Speaking of which, how long before renewals appear before half-season ticket sales? FFS... it's February!!) So it's time for some ground move fairy tales and, three guesses... some squillionaire takeover rumours.

An updated four page leaflet will be despached along with a season ticket renewal form.

Ive e long stood in the boys pen, this new develepment will blow those good old days away.

Keep the faith and remember to fill out your season ticket renewal forms.

I'd like to believe you but there's been too many false dawns on this site; especially at Season Ticket renewal time.

Tony Marsh, short and to the point. It's a stone's throw to Kirkby with even less facilities than that had.

Tell them to stick it where the sun doesn't shine, Bill.

Or tell you what: let's have a vote....

Regeneration only works with EU funds so the current land basically has to be worthless as it stands to qualify. Land closer to the city has potential value to speculators and LCC are as mercenary as any council, they have to be given the reduction in funding they face. So that means nothing is given to the club of any reasonable location because the council are still left with poor undeveloped land in poor locations.

News flash.... They are helping themselves off the back of regeneration projects funded in part by the EU by offering land outside city limits and poorly facilitated. It's the reason they have stood empty for years. Nobody wants to go there.

Scotland Road, Netherfield Road, Great Homer Street and Walton are our home. Aside the Mersey should have been... but we missed the ferry....

Phil Walling, Terry Leahy is no fool. Watch B&M grow into the next Aldi.
