Everton announce partnership with Elevate to capitalise on new commercial opportunities at Bramley-Moore Dock

To put all the effort in to make an amazing stadium and then just call it something daft because someone is willing to pay would be a shame.

Moonpig arena anyone???

After taking a few pics, we made our way over to the Titanic Hotel for coffee. My partner got talking to the staff and they said 'they' were flattening The Bramley Moore pub opposite the new stadium to build a car park. And, the Tobacco Warehouse next door is being converted into apartments with bars/eateries on the ground floor.

This is alongside the building next to the Tobacco Warehouse being converted into the Titanic Hotel 2!! All this is to, "give the yobs somewhere to go". Her words, not mine.

They did also mention that both Everton and Liverpool stay in the Titanic Hotel the night before a match. Everton use the regular entrance, sit in the lounge and pose for pictures with fans. Whereas Liverpool use the staff entrance and do not mingle with anyone!

How true that is, I don't know… but I find it easy to believe.

I think there should be a fixed name somehow combined with sponsorship, if this can be done in a workable way. "Bramley Moonpig Moore Stadium". Lovely.

I thought a car park was a big no-no to discourage traffic, so it's more of a rail or park-and-ride event. Unless the car park is for the greatest Evertonian and the like. Officials.

I heard Everton had purchased Terry's Timber, but I'm not sure if this is true.

The Tobacco warehouse is indeed being gentrified: https://www.tobaccowarehouse.co.uk/apartments/

But who will be move in to the ground floor space has not been defined, doesn't seem to be public domain to me.

The Southern Warehouse (which is on the far side of the Tobacco Warehouse from the Titanic Hotel) is still to be developed – apartments, bars, restaurants, cafes? Who knows?

Meanwhile, back on planet Earth, we are still scratching around for gambling sponsors after the gangster left us high and dry. The people running this club really are full of the stuff downwind of Bramley-Moore. they must have been working on that '24/7'. The global search will no doubt end in Stoke, and us all filing into the Bet365 Arena.

Now just include that monorail from Brunswick to Bramley-Moore Dock.

A useful transportation option along the waterfront with links and heritage. A modern tribute to the Dockers' Umbrella.

Taking back our city.

It's like Game of Thrones. If we'd gone to Kirkby, The Stark Stadium would have been apt.

Wasn't it named the London Stadium for The Olympics?

The "London Stadium" is only called so due to the failure of LLDC to agree a rights naming deal. WHU tried to broker a deal to have it called the Vodafone stadium at one point.

I like it. And underneath 'The Margarine for Men'

Apart from the hope that they're not the same consultants who advised a capacity of 52,888, I feel that, at last, the club seems to be run a bit more professionally.

I'm sure the plan to demolish The Bramley Moore pub will be news to the current owners. Sounds more like wishful thinking by the Titanic Hotel…

Are we cutting corners because of the Russian link? Please ease my mind, because if it is a cut-down stadium we will look right fucking melts!

Goodison is, I believe, our first stadium but not our first ground. Anfield was surely just a field as opposed to a stadium, which is why Goodison is the first purpose-built football stadium in Britain.

Smaller in what regard? Have you based this on any particular video or a personal visit?

I've watched a couple of drone vids today. I have one or two minor concerns or design aspects that I would've preferred another way but I guess there are certain constraints, and either-or aspects.

As long as the seating capacity doesn't drop in any way, I think it's going to be exactly the size they told us.

Probably looking at it from drone footage can be deceiving, we probably won't feel the full effect of it until our first matchday, sitting in our seats.

People I've spoken too say the stadium looks absolutely massive when you see it from outside the perimeter walls. Also, it will look a lot bigger once the roof is added.

The overall design and dimensions were fixed long ago. No major changes viably possible in that aspect. Perhaps the original impressions make it look slightly larger than it will (that Lowry effect of diddy people).

I think the roof structure will make the stadium look pretty large from outside when complete.

Because they bung a low roof on it!!

I'll get me coat!

I'll order my taxi.

Got the ferry from Woodside to Liverpool and decided to walk there. It was a sunny day, on the walk, brother said "This is our Wembley Way, but with better scenery."

We went for a pint in The Bramley Moore. I asked the staff have they been busy with people coming to see the stadium. They said yes, and even before and after the Forest game, it was choca.

I did ask if Bill was sniffing around. She said no but Dan Meis came in. I asked if he'd drawn you up any extension plans. She said it does not have room for extending. So maybe they will knock it down.
