Liverpool FC New Ground

[Waterways]

Have you got inside info or something cos I cant see how this would logistically work?

Everton only need £50 million for Kirkby, Liverpool need at least £300 million for Stanley Park. How can a 50-50 share happen given the vast differences in what each team will contribute. Everton will be loving this, pressing ahead with their own plans while Liverpool are in disarray. They are happy to come to Liverpool with the begging bowl when they are desperate but they wont be offering any assistance now, not by way of arrangements that would be acceptable to Liverpool anyway.

A stadium share will be a totally new arrangement with other interested parties (council, Tesco, etc). ..and probably a new location. Anfield/Walton are poor for transport infrastructure - a predominantly residential area that should not have a large stadium near it.

Remember when Liverpool were wondering what to do about Anfield in the late 90s and Everton had Kings Dock and only needed £30 million to have a 50% share in it - they werent asking Liverpool then, they were going on and on about how their home would be an iconic building on the watefront before they admitted they could never afford it and let the whole city down.

Kings Dock was a Council initiative. They approached EFC. It was to be a multi-purpose arena and two club's using it would have precluded other events. EFC were in no position to bring in LFC.

EFC could have afforded it - poor management. the cost went up to £50K plus, but still a bargain. Banks would throw money at you for that project.

It was a good thing as that stadium would have been totally out of place on that waterfront. The smaller arena is out of place and an eyesore right now. God knows what it would have been like. A blessing in disguise that the project fell through. Imagine all the litter in the docks and river!!!!
