    I'm assuming it is actually in the dock and they're filling it in, but it seems a little odd, as just off the bottom of that last picture, there's a massive derelict site that would seem more suitable.

    Talks brokered by the Mayor who is an EFC fan.
    Compare and contrast, as they say....

    Water polo?

    Also made me laugh seeing the Titanic Hotel nearby, whether that's an indication of Everton's future or not time will tell.

    It's a really fascinating area of Liverpool. There used to be an overhead railway passing alongside the dock wall in the photos. It'll be a great site for a football stadium.

    if they manage to include some of that local architecture style in it, it'll look ****ing amazing.

    So the newest stadium in Liverpool is going to be demolished if this goes ahead.

    Just Goodison and Anfield. Football ones, seeing as that was what is being discussed.

    So Goodison is the newer, not the newest.

    <laugh> careful, you will be getting pulled up for pointing out things like that.

    So, the most recently built stadium in Liverpool will be demolished. Someone on CI said they had enjoyed Goodison as it was a proper, old ground, unlike Anfield. I know what they meant but...

    Didn't Everton start at Anfield before moving on, leaving Liverpool to take their cast-off?

    Not exactly. Everton started off at Anfield, but the owner of the ground kept putting the rent up and tried to take over the club, so after a big fall-out, they decided to move out into their own ground.

    That left Anfield's owner with a ground but no club, so he formed Liverpool FC.

    The owner formed a club called Everton F.C. and Athletic Grounds Ltd, Everton Athletic for short. THE FA refused to let them use it so they altered it to Liverpool FC. They are registered as Liverpool FC and Athletic Grounds Ltd. Mr Allam suggested that they should shorten the name from Liverpool FC to
    Liverpool and Athletic Grounds Liver Birds FC.

    Someone posted about that at the time of the name change fiasco at City, with the registered names of some other clubs when the registered name of City was mentioned as opposed to the playing name. Always made a point of asking a Liverpool "fan" in my local since then how Athletic got on at the weekend.

    I'd have thought it was quite a well known story.
