 Everton have submitted plans to enhance and expand the fanzone at Goodison Park . An application to Liverpool Council shows how the Blues hope to replace the existing stage at the fanzone at the Park End of the stadium. The move would also see the area expanded outwards slightly into part of the car park because of the zone's popularity. A post on the club's website reads: "Hosted by Giulia Bould and open from three hours before kick-off, each match there will be live music courtesy of local bands, great giveaways, as well as regular appearances from former players and other star names." As well as the new stage, a small building is set to be built behind the fanzone for performers. Council officers will consider the plans over the coming weeks and months. The move to expand the fanzone at Goodison comes as the club continues to press ahead with a planned move to a new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock . Everton also hope to submit the legacy plans for Goodison Park and the area around it before the end of 2019. |

 Outline plans for the redevelopment of Goodison Park into a community-led legacy project have been revealed. The proposals would see Everton FC's current home redeveloped to provide a range of assets on the back of its move into a 52,888-capacity stadium at Bramley-Moore Dock. Lined up for the site are a health zone with a multi-purpose well-being centre, an education zone which could allow for the expansion of the Everton Free School or a new facility for adults, community/green space, including the potential use of the current centre circle as a lasting reminder of Goodison Park's legacy, and a mix of up to 173 houses and apartments.\ The outline plans also include spaces for community-led retail, food and drink outlets and about 50,000 sq ft of office space. Both schemes – the legacy development and the Bramley-Moore Dock site – have been designed to help kick-start the regeneration of the northern docklands, contribute a £1bn boost to the city region's economy, create up to 15,000 jobs, attract 1.4 million visitors to the city each year and yield an additional £237m of societal value. Professor Denise Barrett-Baxendale, chief executive of Everton FC, said: "Everton is a football club deeply rooted in its community and the Goodison Park Legacy Project is a symbol of our ambition, desire and commitment to Liverpool 4. "We've been delighted by the support of the local community to our plans and the acknowledgement that we are creating facilities to empower and equip local people for generations to come. "This project at Goodison Park is as ambitious as our new stadium development at Bramley-Moore Dock and will build on the £10m investment in buildings already made by the club and Everton in the Community in Liverpool 4 over the last five years." Colin Chong, stadium development director at Everton, added: "These plans are being submitted as an outline planning application to seek permission for this development based on its maximum size, scale and potential uses. "The club, working alongside the local community, will refine the exact offer as we get closer to the build stage, ensuring that it will be completely fit for purpose, and is supported by and meets the needs of the people it will serve." Everton have been advised by CBRE's UK planning and development team for both the legacy project and new stadium plans. Condy Lofthouse is the architect for the former. |
