New Everton Stadium at Bramley Moore Dock

That Rotherham fella is an absolute dope

An overhead railway down the dock road would’ve been a great idea…

It actualy used to stop at BMD, ran from Litherland to The Dingle.

That Rotherham fella is an absolute dope

He has ruined the train network and keeps passing the buck.

It’s going to be carnage on match day soon as the first cancellation of many comes in.

Don’t worry though, we have some metal railings to deal with it.

That video was just so amateurish and what's with that music It's a surprise nobody thought... how will these 52k fans get to that magnificent stadium at the planning stage
I'd have suggested a ferry stop behind the ground for sure which would cut traffic from the pier head and replaced the overhead that was there decades ago....

A ferry link would have also been a completely unique method of travel into the stadium. There surely can't be many clubs who could even dream of bringing fans in by ferry. Plus, how many fans can you fit on a ferry for each crossing 500 or so?

Remember the Tesco Arena plans with 000s of bike stands?

Are you sure it wasn't a massive trolley park?

The grand national model works perfectly for the grand national, which has many more people.

The problem is, it isn't just home fans travelling away from the ground.

It's also away fans.

Just had to Google the definition, love it

What does it mean when someone calls you Chicken Little?

Have any of the wasteland looking docks between BM and town had any buildings built on them? A couple of them looked like they'd be prime for being converted to car parks when it was first being touted around. Mad that nothings been sorted yet.

At least a post office queue is under cover.

Yeah I am no expert in you know...what would you even call it...town...city...stuff...but I feel like we've just been going ah this will be great for the area and literally nothing has happened to the area. Should there be some regeneration? Does it rely on public funds and a functioning council?

[TheRam]

Quite a lot has been done to be fair.

The ferry terminal is complete and there’s a good walkway between that and the ground, although there is still a bit of wasteland inbetween.

I was expecting a few more pubs to pop up but I think they will come eventually.

I think more can be done around there definitely but our council is an absolute shambles at making the most of opportunities.

Just look round there at the amount of abandoned buildings half built because big Joe signed off a load of contracts to his mates who didn’t have the money to complete them.

That whole area should have been completed years back.
