Talking to a Danish businessman last night. I mentioned Liverpool. He quipped in and said it is a dump. Being defensive I countered. He said he went to see a football game at Anfield watching I think a Danish side. His impressions were from around Anfield football ground, which is dire to say the least and gives the wrong impression of the city. This guy, as the South African, had power and influence to set up business in cities - and Liverpool was way down the list.

Which points to that a stadium that attracts many thousands of visitors to the city, British and foreign, must be in an area that that gives a favorable impression. Building a new stadium on Stanley Park and tarting up Goodison Park is really the wrong thing to do. Vauxhall on the Northern Line is a good location - the council have suggested this location a number of times. It will be within walking distance of Liverpool Waters when complete giving really good impression. Please do not suggest building a stadium on Clarence Dock as Liverpool Waters is planned for this World Heritage Site, and I can't think of worse site for stadium - waterlocked.
Walton Hall Park is is a great site if the Outer Loop is re-commissioned.

You never get a second chance to make a first impression. First impressions count.
