Everton' Bramley-Moore stadium opportunity is one they cannot miss

Mr Moshiri is a different breed, Lyndon. We won't miss out this time.

All logistics are covered. However there are 2 key concerns that might need more attention. The first is "funding and planning permission."

Kings Dock fell through because of the extra 㿊 million. Has the issue of potential "rising costs"been built into the financial planning for this site?

Furthermore have we taken into consideration all heritage issues connected with Bramley-Moore? For example, as Andy Hunter points out, the dock wall is grade 2 listed.

Also,as a stadium was not in Peel's original plan for the area,we have to assume that the legal advice on a "variation" being allowed is watertight.

The second concern is "government intervention" as happened with Kirkby. This might have been welcome to most fans but a vindictive decision here (after all, the city of Liverpool is not exactly flavour of the month with the current regime and we are no longer dealing with Michael Heseltine) would be absolutely devastating.

On a personal note, with the Commonwealth Games beginning to enter the equation are we now talking about an all purpose sports stadium in which football can be played? Or are we talking about a purpose built football stadium? And will the plans at some time be put on public display?

The predictions of the climate modelling community are presented in the media as science (so-called climate science), but in fact the predictions are based on mathematical models that cannot be validated. As such, rather than 'science', it is 'pseudo science'.

Most of the media portray differences of opinion as a battle between 'believers' and 'deniers', whereas the above issue of validation is more subtle than this (and probably beyond the ability of most commentators to comment).

That said, I can see that in the case of our new stadium, a lot of Liverpool supporters might grab hold of the climate prediction scenarios, to argue against the stadium. But it's simply nonesense.

In the mid 70s the JMU (then the Poly) were offered the Albert Dock as their hub. A group of experts researched its viability and concluded that the Albert Dock had no future as it was sinking.

The Poly stayed put and the JMU inherited the loss.

So much for science!
