If it's anything to do with Kenwright it won't happen. The supporters should be asked where they want the new stadium and with the supposed new financial backing we now have, where the stadium gets built should have nothing to do with mayor's or councils say so. Moshiri and Kenwright should put up or shut up. The stadium debate has gone on so long it's become a joke. If we can't get the dockland site then it's got to be Stanley Park or redevelopment of Goodison. I'd still prefer redeveloping Goodison, don't know what all other members think - How do you feel?Presumably the redevelopment of Goodison would involve buying up the property around the ground. This along with the actual redevelopment could prove extremely costly and drawn out and maybe more than an actual new ground . Me personally would love to stay at Goodison , but I am a traditionalist and don't like change.

I see Everton have apparently put a £20m fee on McCarthy, and I read last week Peel want £20m for the land. Co-incidence?

I see Everton have apparently put a £20m fee on McCarthy, and I read last week Peel want £20m for the land. Co-incidence? To be fair, I can't see it myself, but, you have a point:- we get £47.5m for Stones and the players we've bought don't add up to that, so I do wonder if this 'promised investment' from Mashiri is actually going to happen. Having said that, he has said to Jim White (SKY)"Watch this Space" Everton will make significant signings before the deadline. So, I'm waiting to find out if it's true. Certainly 'Boney' appears to be highlighted again. "Interesting"..................

Where are they going to put a stadium at Bramley Moore Dock, unless they plan on removing the water? The place surely has to be Clarence Graving Dock?

New Everton stadium: The story of Bramley-Moore DockThe history behind Everton's potential new home on the waterfrontIt's the obstacle that many think Everton FC need to overcome in order for them to progress as a club, but the issue of a new stadium may well be on its way to being resolved. In response to a fan's question about the club moving away from Goodison Park, Mayor Joe Anderson tweeted on Monday that a new stadium for the Blues was "closer now than it was last month", and "closer now than it's ever been". When questioned further, he gave a cryptic response of "the Moore the merrier" - which hints at a location for the new stadium. Bramley-Moore Dock, currently owned by the Peel Group, is a site that has been mooted as a potential new home for Everton for quite some time. So what's the story behind it? The dock is part of the Port of Liverpool, and sits on the northern dock system in Vauxhall . Access to the site is from Regent Road, and it's about two miles from the city centre. Opened in August 1848, it was named after John Bramley-Moore, who was then the chairman of the dock committee. The dock was designed by Jesse Hartley, the world's first full-time professional dock engineer. Bramley-Moore Dock was part of a major expansion scheme for Liverpool's docklands - the Nelson and Salisbury Docks were opened at the same time. It was primarily used as a coal dock, both to export coal and provide coal for steamships. This meant there wasn't a great need for warehouses, which accounts for the vast open spaces on the dock. Sound City on Sunday The dock was in use for 140 years; as coal-fired steamships fell out of use, and the coal mines in south Lancashire closed, demand disappeared, and Bramley Moore Dock was eventually closed in 1988. The retaining walls and hydraulic tower on the site are Grade II-listed structures. The site remained all but abandoned until 2015, when it was given a new lease of life thanks to Liverpool Sound City . The city's premier music festival moved into Bramley-Moore Dock, with eight music stages erected on the site. Thousands of music lovers headed to the festival over the course of a late spring weekend, with many commenting on the spectacular backdrop of the Liverpool skyline adding a sense of grandeur to the festival. Sound City returned to the dock in 2016, but if the rumours surrounding Everton's new stadium are true, they may be looking for a new home very soon. Liv Echo
