If that was us we'd be the worlds worst but because it's Everton it's ok to build on a public park. I can see a load of objections flying in if it actually goes ahead. People will always moan if you build on green land and you can't blame them. Don't think for a minute that nobody is kicking up a fuss. The thing that gets me is that the papers haven't said boo, so that's not normal.

Architects reveal plans to build shared stadium for Liverpool FC and Everton FC by flattening St Johns Shopping Centre NWD Architects' bold vision would see new city centre ground for both football clubs A proposed design for a new football stadium in Liverpool city centre, created by NWD Architects An architects firm has drawn up far-fetched plans for a shared stadium for Liverpool and Everton - created by flattening St Johns Shopping Centre. NWD Architects is behind the bold blueprints, which would see a new city centre ground within touching distance of Liverpool Lime Street station. It says the left field proposals would help regenerate the precinct, which is also home to St Johns Market, and attract hotel and leisure developments. Graham Lewis, senior architect at NWD Architects, said: “We feel that the site is ideal for such a use. “Football has always been at the heart of this city and the inclusion of a state of the art stadium in the city centre will ensure that it remains so. “The site is ideal because of its links with public transport, the railway stations at Lime Street Station and Liverpool Central. “The area is arguably in need of regeneration and such a project would, we feel, prove to be a catalyst for hotel and leisure developments in the immediate vicinity. “Such a bold development would complement the excellent retail development around Liverpool One.” The firm, based in Tarporley, Cheshire, admits its vision does not have the backing of either club, and says it merely hopes to start a debate. Mr Lewis added: “Sadly we have no commercial backers and the idea is submitted merely to provoke discussion. “It is unlikely to be built, but we can dream!” Echo

So, would you rather have a new stadium in Walton Park or a Wembley type 'shared' stadium slap bang in the city centre?

I've only been to Liverpool a few times; is St Johns near Lime Street? Not a bad position if it is but I couldn't stand having to share with them lot.
